From the Introduction: "In the early Christian centuries thousands turned to the Bible, as drowning men to a life buoy, because it offered them the only way of escape from the intolerable social and moral ills that attended the death pangs of the old heathenism. Then came the Dark Ages, with their resurgent heathenism and barbarism, when the Bible was taken from the hands of the people. In the hour of a nation's deepest humiliation and moral depravity, John Wycliffe, with the aid of a devoted army of lay priests, gave back the Bible to the people, and in so doing laid the foundations for England's intellectual, political and moral greatness. The joy and inspiration of the Protestant Reformers was the rediscovery and popular interpretation of the Bible. In all the great forward movements of the modern centuries the Bible has played a central role. The ultimate basis of our magnificent modern scientific and material progress is the inspiration given to the human race by the Protestant Reformation."

Klassischer Roman, erstmals im Original 1922 ver?ffentlicht. Nach Wikipedia: "Siddhartha ist ein Roman von Hermann Hesse, der sich mit der spirituellen Reise eines Jungen namens Siddhartha vom indischen Subkontinent zur Zeit des Buddha besch?ftigt. Das Buch , Hesses neunter Roman, wurde auf eine einfache, aber dennoch kraftvolle und lyrische Art geschrieben, die 1951 in den USA ver?ffentlicht wurde und in den 1960er Jahren einflussreich wurde: Hesse widmete Siddhartha Ninon Hesse, seiner Frau, das Wort Siddhartha von zwei W?rtern in der Sanskrit-Sprache, siddha (erreicht) + artha (Bedeutung oder Reichtum). Die beiden W?rter zusammen bedeuten "derjenige, der Bedeutung (der Existenz) gefunden hat" oder "Er, der seine Ziele erreicht hat". Der Name des Buddha, vor seiner Entsagung war Prinz Siddhartha Gautama. In diesem Buch wird der Buddha als "Gotama" bezeichnet. "Hermann Hesse (2. Juli 1877 - 9. August 1962) war ein in Deutschland geborener Schweizer Dichter, Romancier und Maler. Im Jahr 1946 erhielt er den Nobelpreis für Literatur. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken z?hlen Steppenwolf, Siddhartha und The Glass Bead Game (auch bekannt als Magister Ludi), die alle die Suche nach Authentizit?t, Selbsterkenntnis und Spiritualit?t untersuchen. "

Greek myths retold as stories for children. According to Wikipedia: "Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 –1864) was an American novelist and short story writer... Much of Hawthorne's writing centers around New England and many feature moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism. His themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity. His published works include novels, short stories, and a biography of his friend Franklin Pierce."

Historical novel from the Civil War series. "The Rock of Chickamauga," presenting a critical phase of the great struggle in the west, is the sixth volume in the series, dealing with the Civil War, of which its predecessors have been "The Guns of Bull Run," "The Guns of Shiloh," "The Scouts of Stonewall," "The Sword of Antietam" and "The Star of Gettysburg." Dick Mason who fights on the Northern side, is the hero of this romance, and his friends reappear also. According to Wikipedia: "Joseph Alexander Altsheler (1862 - 1919), was an American author of popular juvenile historical fiction. Altsheler was born in Three Springs, Kentucky to Joseph and Louise Altsheler. In 1885, he took a job at the Louisville Courier-Journal as a reporter and later, an editor. He started working for the New York World in 1892, first as the paper's Hawaiian correspondent and then as the editor of the World's tri-weekly magazine. Due to a lack of suitable stories, he began writing children's stories for the magazine."

This file includes: The Insidious Dr. Fuu-Manchu (AKA The Mystery of Fu-Manchu), 1913; The Devil Doctor (AKA The Return of Dr. Fu-Manchu), 1916; and The Hand of Fu-Manchu (AKA The Si-Fan Mysteries), 1917. According to Wikipedia: "Dr. Fu Manchu is a fictional character introduced in a series of novels by British author Sax Rohmer during the first half of the 20th century. The character was also featured extensively in cinema, television, radio, comic strips and comic books for over 90 years, and has become an archetype of the evil criminal genius while inspiring the Fu Manchu moustache." "Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward (15 February 1883 - 1 June 1959), better known as Sax Rohmer, was a prolific English novelist. He is best remembered for his series of novels featuring the master criminal Dr. Fu Manchu... His first published work was in 1903, the short story The Mysterious Mummy was sold to Pearson's Weekly. He gradually transitioned from writing for Music Hall performers to concentrating on short stories and serials for magazine publication. In 1909 he married Rose Elizabeth Knox. He published his first novel Pause! anonymously in 1910 and the first Fu Manchu novel, The Mystery of Dr. Fu-Manchu, was serialized from October 1912 - June 1913. It was an immediate success with its fast-paced story of Denis Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie facing the worldwide conspiracy of the 'Yellow Peril'. The Fu Manchu stories, together with his more conventional detective series characters: Paul Harley, Gaston Max, Red Kerry, Morris Klaw, and The Crime Magnet made Rohmer one of the most successful and well-paid authors of the 1920s and 1930s.Rohmer also wrote several novels of supernatural horror, including Brood of the Witch-Queen. Sadly, Rohmer was very poor at managing his wealth and made several disastrous business decisions that hampered him througout his career. His final success came with a series of novels featuring a female variation on Fu Manchu, Sumuru."

Book One of The Guardians of the Tall Stones series. This book has been called one of the great esoteric novels of the 20th century". The first of four novels set in Bronze Age Britain, a society focused around the great circles of Sacred Stones scattered across the landscape. It tells the story of a community threatened by the evil designs of Wardyke, a corrupt and ambitious priest, and its only defence, the courageous young psychic, Kyra. But to defend her community, Kyra must enter the forbidden circle of stones and call upon its unseen, mystical powers... From the Introduction: This is a story set in Bronze Age Britain, c.1500 BC, when the great circles of standing stones that were such a feature of the Neolithic Age were already more than a thousand years old, yet still in use as sacred temples. Hundreds of stone circles have been found throughout Britain, the most famous today being Avebury and Stonehenge in Wiltshire. That such a homogeneous culture flourished in communities so widely separated by dense and dangerous forests, mountains, and wild and stormy seas, is extraordinary. The Tall Stones begins in a stone circle in Scotland where a young girl, Kyra, finds that she has psychic powers usually only possessed by the Priesthood. She is thrust into a situation of great danger in order to attempt to rescue her community threatened by a dark and menacing evil. She is forced to ‘spirit travel’ before she is ready, to seek the help of the mighty Lords of the Sun."

Lincoln, England, August 1944. A rest and recuperate scheme for two traumatised servicemen, one British and one American, places them with two families. The effect they have on those families is remarkable and profound. Jane, like most of the other children, is without her father, and relies on grandparents and other relations to fill the gap. It is through Jane, growing up at a difficult time, that we can laugh at attempts to keep morale high, and sympathise with the hopes, dreams, disappointments, and tragedies of those left behind to cope with war in their own way.
