There lived one Yurine, a man of poor means even for those days. He loved saké wine, and scarcely ever spent a day without drinking some of it. Yurine lived near the place which is now called Sudzukawa, a little to the north of the river known as Fujikawa. On the day which followed Fuji San's appearance Yurine became ill, and was in consequence unable to drink his cup of saké. He became worse and worse, and, at last feeling that there could be no hope for him, decided to give himself the pleasure of drinking a cup before he died. Accordingly he called to himself his only son, Koyuri, a boy of fourteen years, and told him to go and fetch him a cup or two of the wine. Koyuri was sorely perplexed. He had no saké in the house, and there was not a single coin left wherewith to buy. This he did not like to tell his father, fearing that the unpleasant state of affairs might make him worse. So he took his gourd, and went wandering along the beach, wondering how he could get what his father wanted. While thus employed Koyuri heard a voice calling him by name. As he looked up towards the pines which fringed the beach, he saw a man and a woman sitting beneath an immense tree; their hair was a scarlet red, and so were their bodies…

When PI Adam Park is retained to confirm the accuracy of a young heiress’s family tree, it sounds like the simple case he needs to break the monotony of life on an Aegean island. But it soon becomes clear that others wish to stake a claim to the girl’s fortune, and something as inconvenient as a private investigator will not stand in their way. As this group calls upon a shadowy killer known as the Pale Boy, Adam’s attention turns to the girl herself, learning her illness is viewed by some as “possession” by a spirit intent on righting wrongs from Porajmos, or “the Devouring”, the Romani genocide inflicted by Nazi Germany. And even those who profess to represent the girl may not hold her best interests at heart. Delving into a decades-old secret that people will murder to protect, Adam must fight smart and fight hard—against a seemingly supernatural mercenary, against people of unfathomable greed, and against his own darkening nature.

Nabi Seth AS atau Nabi Syits AS atau Nabi Set AS adalah anak laki-laki dari Nabi Adam AS dan Hawa (Eve). Ia dilahirkan pada saat Adam berumur 130 tahun (Kejadian 5:3). Nabi Syits AS merupakan saudara muda dari Qabil dan Habil (Kain dan Habel). Menurut kitab Perjanjian Adam, mengisahkan bahwa Adam, ketika mengetahui bahwa ajalnya telah dekat, memanggil Set ke sisinya. Ia menyuruh Set kembali ke Taman Eden, masuk dan mengambil tiga benih dari buah Pohon Kehidupan. Adam kemudian meminta Seth kembali kepadanya dan menempatkan ketiga benih itu di mulutnya sebelum menguburkan jenazahnya. Nabi Seth AS melakukan apa yang diminta ayahnya dan pergi ke Taman Eden. Di gerbang taman itu berdirilah Penghulu Malaikat Mikail, yang menanyakan tujuan Set. Set memberitahukannya, dan Mikail mengizinkannya masuk, dan menunjukkan kepadanya pohon kehidupan itu. Set mengumpulkan tiga benih dari buah pohon itu dan kemudian kembali, melalui pintu gerbang, dan kembali ke ayahnya, yang saat ini telah meninggal. Ia menggali kuburan untuk Adam, dan menguburkannya, setelah menempatkan ketiga benih itu di mulutnya lalu menutup liang kuburnya. Dalam kitab Kejadian dari Kitab Suci Ibrani dan Alkitab, adalah salah satu anak (kemungkinan putra ketiga) dari Adam dan Hawa, dan merupakan adik laki-laki dari Kain dan Habel. Ia dilahirkan setelah Habel (Habil) dibunuh oleh Kain (Qabil). Nama Set disebut sepuluh kali dalam Alkitab, yaitu tujuh kali di kitab Kejadian, sekali di kitab Bilangan, Kitab 1 Tawarikh, dan Injil Lukas. Nabi Set AS bagi Nabi Adam AS adalah seorang anak yang "menurut rupa dan gambarnya". Set diberikan oleh Allah SWT sebagai pengganti Habel yang dibunuh. Ia mempunyai seorang anak yang bernama Enos pada usia 105 tahun dan hidup hingga mencapai usia 912 tahun. Melalui keturunan Set dilahirkanlah Nabi Nuh, Nabi Abraham, Nabi Daud, hingga akhirnya menurunkan Nabi Isa. Menurut kisah Islam, setelah kematian Habil, Adam sangatlah marah kepada Qabil. Kemudian Adam memiliki anak kembar kembali bernama Syits (Set/Seth) dan 'Azura. Syits memiliki arti "hadiah", karena Allah telah memberikan hadiah kepada Adam berupa seorang anak soleh, setelah kematian anaknya yang bernama Habil. Syits selain sebagai anak yang berbakti, ia diyakini sebagai seorang nabi dan rasulallah. Sebagai seorang nabi, Syits menerima perintah-perintah dari Allah yang ditulis dalam 50 suhuf/sahifah. Menurut keterangan Ibnu Abbas, ketika Nabi Syits AS dilahirkan, Nabi Adam AS? sudah berusia 930 tahun. Adam sengaja memilih Syits sebab anaknya yang satu ini memiliki kelebihan dari segi keilmuan, kecerdasan, ketakwaan dan kepatuhan dibandingkan dengan semua anaknya yang lain. Adam mengajarkan semua pengetahuan yang ia miliki kepada Syits. Ia mengajarkan bagaimana menyembah Allah dan beribadah yang lainnya. Setelah kematian Adam, Syits memimpin anak cucu Adam. Ia memimpin dengan peraturan dan hukum Allah, ia membawa persatuan diantara orang-orang disekitarnya. Wahab bin Munabbih mengatakan, ketika Nabi Adam AS wafat, Nabi Syits AS telah berusia 400 tahun. Syits telah diwasiati oleh Adam untuk memerangi saudaranya, Qabil. Dia pergi memerangi Qabil dan akhirnya perang itu pun berkecamuk. Itulah perang pertama yang terjadi antara anak-anak Adam di muka bumi. Dalam peperangan itu, Syits memperoleh kemenangan dan dia menawan Qabil. Nabi Syits AS kemudian memimpin anak cucu Adam dan ia memimpin dengan peraturan dan hukum Allah SWT, ia membawa persatuan dan perdamaian diantara orang-orang disekitarnya. Buku ini mengisahkan hikayat Nabi Syits AS (Seth AS) putra Nabi Adam AS bersumberkan dari Al-Quran & Al-Hadist.
As a Man Thinketh
As a Man Thinketh
James Allen
¥24.44
Do Your Thoughts Really Create The World Around You?As a Man Thinketh is a literary essay and book by James Allen, published in 1903. It was described by Allen as "... [dealing] with the power of thought, and particularly with the use and application of thought to happy and beautiful issues. I have tried to make the book simple, so that all can easily grasp and follow its teaching, and put into practice the methods which it advises. It shows how, in his own thought—world, each man holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his circumstances. The price of the book is only one shilling, and it can be carried in the pocket." It was also described by Allen as "A book that will help you to help yourself", "A pocket companion for thoughtful people", and "A book on the power and right application of thought."The title is influenced by a verse in the Bible from the Book of Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he". The full passage, taken from the King James Version, is as follows:Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.While the passage suggests that one should consider the true motivations of a person who is being uncharacteristically generous before accepting his generosity, the title and content of Allen's work refer to the reader himself. (Wikipedia)Earl Nightingale and others have supported Allen's interpretation with numerous other quotes and popular writings, older and more recent. Obviously, your own thoughts and understanding will determine what you think Allen's words mean.About the Author:James Allen (28 November 1864 – 24 January 1912) was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of the self-help movement. His best known work, As a Man Thinketh, has been mass-produced since its publication in 1903. It has been a source of inspiration to motivational and self-help authors.In 1903 Allen published his third and most famous book As a Man Thinketh. Loosely based on the Biblical passage of Proverbs 23:7, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," the small work eventually became read around the world and brought Allen posthumous fame as one of the pioneering figures of modern inspirational thought. The book's minor audience allowed Allen to quit his secretarial work and pursue his writing and editing career. In 1903, the Allen family retired to the town of Ilfracombe where Allen would spend the rest of his life. Continuing to publish the Epoch, Allen produced more than one book per year until his death in 1912. There he wrote for nine years, producing 19 works.

Long, long ago there lived a man called Sentaro. His surname meant "Millionaire," but although he was not so rich as all that, he was still very far removed from being poor. He had inherited a small fortune from his father and lived on this, spending his time carelessly, without any serious thoughts of work, till he was about thirty-two years of age.One day, without any reason whatsoever, the thought of death and sickness came to him. The idea of falling ill or dying made him very wretched."I should like to live," he said to himself, "till I am five or six hundred years old at least, free from all sickness. The ordinary span of a man's life is very short."He wondered whether it were possible, by living simply and frugally henceforth, to prolong his life as long as he wished.He knew there were many stories in ancient history of emperors who had lived a thousand years, and there was a Princess of Yamato, who, it was said, lived to the age of five hundred This was the latest story of a very long life record.
