Book Description
La moglie di Lord St. Simon, Hatty, scompare proprio durante il banchetto nuziale. Il nobiluomo riferisce ad Holmes di aver notato un cambiamento di umore repentino nella donna, subito dopo la conclusione della cerimonia. L’unico dettaglio rilevante sembra la caduta del bouquet e la sua raccolta da parte di un uomo seduto in prima fila. Sherlock Holmes, tra deduzioni e allusioni a una nobiltà inglese ormai in decadenza, svelerà il mistero della scomparsa della donna, meno tragico del previsto e del tutto inaspettato.

God Is My Adventure - A Book on Modern Mystics, Masters, and Teachers
Author: Rom Landau
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1446546985
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
Since I was a boy I have always been attracted by those regions of truth that the official religions and sciences are shy of exploring. The men who claim to have penetrated them have always had for me the same fascination that famous artists, explorers or statesmen have for others—and such men are the subject of this book. Some of them come from the East, some from Europe and America; some give us a glimpse of truth by the mere flicker of an eyelid, while others speak of heaven and hell with the precision of mathematicians. I have met them all, and some I have watched in their daily lives. For years now I have sought their company, questioned them and watched them closely at work. I have tried to dissociate the personality from the teaching and then to reconcile the two. I have included some of those whom now I cannot view without mistrust. Since thousands of other people believe in them, they are at any rate most interesting figures in contemporary spiritual life, however little of ultimate value their teaching may possess. There are people who know the heroes of this book more intimately than I, but my aim has never been to identify myself with any one teacher. On the contrary, I have always been anxious to discover for myself through what powers they have influenced so many people. This attitude will warn the reader not to expect an impersonal survey of contemporary spiritual doctrines. I have limited myself to writing of those men with whom I have been in personal contact. I approach them not as the scholar but as the ordinary man who tries to find God in daily life.

The Geography of Empire in English Literature, 1580-1745
Author: Bruce McLeod
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521660792
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Between 1580 and 1745, a period that saw Edmund Spenser's journey to an unconquered Ireland and the Jacobite Rebellion, the first British Empire was established. The intervening years saw the cultural and material forces of colonialism pursue a fitful, often fanciful endeavour to secure space for this expansion. With the defeat of the Highland clans, what England in 1580 could only dream about had materialised: a coherent, socio-spatial system known as an empire. Taking the Atlantic world as its context, this ambitious 1999 book argues that England's culture during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries was saturated with a geographic imagination fed by the experiences and experiments of colonialism. Using theories of space and its production to ground his readings, Bruce McLeod skilfully explores how works by Edmund Spenser, John Milton, Aphra Behn, Mary Rowlandson, Daniel Defoe and Jonathan Swift imagine, interrogate and narrate the adventure and geography of empire.
