Book Description
Few, if any, thinkers and writers today would have the imagination, the breadth of knowledge, the literary skill, and-yes-the audacity to conceive of a powerful, secular alternative to the Bible. But that is exactly what A.C. Grayling has done by creating a non-religious Bible, drawn from the wealth of secular literature and philosophy in both Western and Eastern traditions, using the same techniques of editing, redaction, and adaptation that produced the holy books of the Judaeo-Christian and Islamic religions. The Good Book consciously takes its design and presentation from the Bible, in its beauty of language and arrangement into short chapters and verses for ease of reading and quotability, offering to the non-religious seeker all the wisdom, insight, solace, inspiration, and perspective of secular humanist traditions that are older, far richer and more various than Christianity. Organized in 12 main sections----Genesis, Histories, Widsom, The Sages, Parables, Consolations, Lamentations, Proverbs, Songs, Epistles, Acts, and the Good----The Good Book opens with meditations on the origin and progress of the world and human life in it, then devotes attention to the question of how life should be lived, how we relate to one another, and how vicissitudes are to be faced and joys appreciated. Incorporating the writing of Herodotus and Lucretius, Confucius and Mencius, Seneca and Cicero, Montaigne, Bacon, and so many others, The Good Book will fulfill its audacious purpose in every way.

Book Description
In this provocative, classic metaphysical thriller, a group of suburban amateur actors plagued by personal demons and terrors explore the pathways to heaven and hell Certain inhabitants of Battle Hill, a small community on the outskirts of London, are preparing to mount a new play by the neighborhood’s most illustrious resident, the writer Peter Stanhope. Each actor struggles with self-absorption, doubt, fear, and sin. But “the Hill” is not like other places. Here the past and present intermingle, ghosts walk among the living, and reality is often clouded by dreams and the dark fantastic. For young Pauline Anstruther, who is caring for an aging grandmother and frightened by the specter of a doppelgänger who gets closer with each visitation, the prospect of heaven exists in the renowned playwright’s willingness to bear the burden of her terror. For eminent historian Lawrence Wentworth, the rejection of his desire pulls him deeper inside himself, leaving him vulnerable to the lure of the succubus and opening wide the entrance to hell. A brilliant theological thriller, Descent into Hell is an extraordinary fictional meditation on sin and personal salvation by one of the twentieth century’s most original and provocative literary artists. Charles Williams, a member of the Inklings alongside fellow Oxfordians C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Owen Barfield, has written a powerful work at once profoundly disturbing and gloriously uplifting, an ingenious amalgam of metaphysics, religious thought, and darkest fantasy.

Book Description
Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time – die "Creme de la Creme" des Harem-Genres – auch als Anime! Um seine große Liebe zu beeindrucken, nimmt Peter Grill am wichtigsten Kampfturnier des Landes teil... und gewinnt! Doch der damit verbundene Ruhm rückt den frisch gekrönten "stärksten Kämpfer der Welt" in den Fokus der gesamten Damenwelt. Peter steht von nun an zwischen den Fronten: Auf der einen Seite wartet seine Verlobte Luvelia, die immer noch annimmt, Babys würden von Störchen gebracht, auf der anderen Seite rotten sich Scharen wuschiger Monstermädchen zusammen, um das wohl begehrteste Erbgutgemisch des ganzen Reiches zu ergattern: Peters Spermien! Leider hat auch der stärkste Krieger eine Schwachstelle, und so erwacht Peter Grill immer wieder zwischen Oger-Damen, wohlig grinsenden Elfen und seinem schlechten Gewissen. Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time verbindet klassische Fantasyelemente mit unfassbar komischen erotischen Elementen. Die Jagd nach dem heiligen Ejakulat ist frech, wild, witzig und voller skurriler Charaktere.
