Book Description
In Down-to-Earth Angels you won’t read about super heroes flying to and fro; what you will discover is a fascinating collection of stories about many kinds of heroes and heroines from different walks of life, each reaching out to touch other’s lives in such a way that would inspire even the most hard-hearted curmudgeon. Best of all, you will share in the blessings these “earth angels” have been able to give to their worlds, leaving them a little better than they found them. The French poet Alphonse de Lamartine wrote: “To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.” Every book has a story. This one is unique in that its pages dance from one story to another with colorful, entertaining, remarkable stories about true-life “earth angels” who touch ordinary people in extraordinary ways, with each story glorifying God. I guarantee you a good read!

Dating Beowulf
Author: Daniel C. Remein
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526136449
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. Featuring essays from some of the most prominent voices in early medieval studies, Dating Beowulf playfully redeploys the word ‘dating’, which usually heralds some of the most divisive critical impasses in the field, to provocatively phrase a set of new relationships with an Old English poem. The volume argues for the relevance of the early Middle Ages to affect studies and vice-versa, offering a riposte to antifeminist discourse and opening avenues for future work by specialists in the history of emotions, literary theorists, students of Old English literature and medieval scholars alike. To this end, the essays embody a range of critical approaches from queer theory to animal studies and ecocriticism to actor-network theory.

Moon-face and Other Stories
Author: Jack London
Publisher: IndyPublish.com
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 572
Book Description
JACK LONDON (1876-1916), American novelist, born in San Francisco, the son of an itinerant astrologer and a spiritualist mother. He grew up in poverty, scratching a living in various legal and illegal ways -robbing the oyster beds, working in a canning factory and a jute mill, serving aged 17 as a common sailor, and taking part in the Klondike gold rush of 1897. This various experience provided the material for his works, and made him a socialist. "The son of the Wolf" (1900), the first of his collections of tales, is based upon life in the Far North, as is the book that brought him recognition, "The Call of the Wild" (1903), which tells the story of the dog Buck, who, after his master ́s death, is lured back to the primitive world to lead a wolf pack. Many other tales of struggle, travel, and adventure followed, including "The Sea-Wolf" (1904), "White Fang" (1906), "South Sea Tales" (1911), and "Jerry of the South Seas" (1917). One of London ́s most interesting novels is the semi-autobiographical "Martin Eden" (1909). He also wrote socialist treatises, autobiographical essays, and a good deal of journalism.
