These notes are no spiritual guide in a common sense. It is not made for people searching for the truth without the ability for self-doubt. Neither does it help anyone who is literally hunting for new realizations by devouring evey piece of literature that promises to provide them with new intellectual models. Being a mental explosive charge under the fundament of all kinds of transported realizations this script shows a critical point of view towards the common belief that there is no realization for the individual but one of the variety of collective images and inventories that would provide the personality with its own ideas. After all we are not what we believe to be. Everyone believes to be that what distinguishes him or her from others - the selfl-image he has been stamped with by his environment. Though that what we express towards the outside world is only a fraction of our true nature. Because: The search for the truth can not be accomplished with the help of the normal dual thinking - The hindrance which is preventing us from reaching our goals is situated in the dual way of our perception. That is why the occurring magical question is: "How can I become conscious of what I am forced to be?" Only when I have found out about this will I truly understand who I am.

Sarah finds a strange mirror that, though unbroken, proves very bad luck. Sarah Kelling and Max Bittersohn have witnessed enough murder, Max thinks, that it's high time they got married. Although Sarah hasn't yet agreed to such drastic measures, she invites Max to summer with her at Ireson Landing. They haven't been in the house ten minutes when they stumble upon summer's first mystery - a mint-condition Spanish mirror which is more valuable than every antique in the house put together. Sarah has no idea where it came from, and she'll find this looking glass to be more troublesome than anything Lewis Carroll ever dreamed of. As the zany Kelling clan descends on the summer home, Sarah and her beau try to discover the origin of the Bilbao looking glass - a quest that is disrupted when a vicious next-door neighbor is found hacked to death with a woodshed ax. By summer's end, Sarah and Max will learn that some murders can be solved simply by looking in the mirror. Review quotes. "If this is your first meeting with Sarah Kelling, oh how I envy you!" - Margaret Maron, author of The Buzzard Table. "One of the most gifted mystery authors writing today." - Sojourner Magazine. "MacLeod shows once again why her Crime Club novels have put her in the front ranks among mystery fans here and abroad." - Cleveland Plain Dealer. Biographical note. Charlotte MacLeod (1922-2005) was an internationally bestselling author of cozy mysteries. Born in Canada, she moved to Boston as a child, and lived in New England most of her life.

Miller & Co., where she rose to the rank of vice president. In her spare time, MacLeod wrote short stories, and in 1964 published her first novel, a children's book called "Mystery of the White Knight."

<p>Lata okupacji hitlerowskiej spędziłem prawie bez przerwy w rodzinnym miasteczku Krzeszowicach, podówczas siedzibie generalnego gubernatora Hansa Franka, o „zgermanizowanej“ ad hoc nazwie — Kressendorf. Po polsku znaczy to — Rzeżuchowo. Od rośliny i kwiatu rzeżuchy.</p> <p>Małe miasteczko, trochę mieszczańskie, trochę proletariackie, trochę jeszcze wiejskie, tuż przy granicy Rzeszy, było wyjątkowo dogodnym miejscem dla tzw. (dzisiaj) wyjazdu w teren. Wszystkie te lata były jednym wielkim wyjazdem w teren — swojego narodu, wojny, i teren historii. Wyjazdem, jakiego przed wojną nie zaznałby nigdy w tym wymiarze ówczesny asystent uniwersytetu, a już na pewno nigdy nie zazna powojenny profesor. Warunki codziennego życia, które zawdzięczało się podówczas Rodzicom — niechaj te słowa będą dla Nich skromną odpłatą długu wdzięczności — tym bardziej sprzyjały dokładnemu wejściu we wspólne myśli i wspólne odczucia środowiska.</p>

Eine junge Frau entdeckt ihr Talent - ein Fremdwesen will Vergeltung Seit Perry Rhodan zum Sechsten Boten von Thoregon ernannt worden ist, handelt er im Auftrag der nach wie vor etwas mysteriösen Koalition Thoregon, der insgesamt sechs Völker angehören. Eines dieser Völker sind die Terraner - oder sollen sie sein, wenn die Koalition endlich ihre Arbeit voll und ganz aufgenommen hat. Dagegen arbeitet jedoch ein Wesen namens Shabazza, das an vielen Fronten gleichzeitig angreift. So verwüsteten die Tolkander und die Große Mutter Goedda die Milchstraße, und die Hauptstadt der Erde wurde von Weltraumbarbaren weitestgehend in Schutt und Asche gelegt. Auch die Attacken gegen die Baolin-Nda, die Galornen und die Nonggo gingen auf das Konto Shabazzas. Um diesem gefährlichen Feind der Menschheit das Handwerk zu legen, muss Perry Rhodan zuerst einmal dessen Schlupfwinkel ausfindig machen. Deshalb ist er in der Doppelgalaxis Whirlpool unterwegs. Dort hat man zuletzt das Hantelraumschiff SOL gesichtet, mit dem Rhodan selbst schon durchs All gereist ist. Als offizielles Schiff des Sechsten Boten ist die SOL vorgesehen - dazu muss sie aber noch "erobert" werden. Immerhin gelang es Rhodan mit einem kleinen Einsatzkommando in Shabazzas Zentrale vorzustoßen. Auf dem Planeten Century I fand der Terraner nicht nur gigantische Industrieanlagen, sondern auch 22.000 Raumschiffe, mit denen es Shabazza im Zweifelsfall möglich ist, jede Welt in DaGlausch zu vernichten. Damit ist die kleine terranische Kolonie in der Doppelgalaxis noch gefährdeter als bisher angenommen. Zu allem Überfluss gibt es einen weiteren Gegner - und dieser pflegt seinen HASS GEGEN ALASHAN …

When "Hard Times" appeared as a serial in Household Words in 1854, Dickens was about midway in his literary career. In the same year this novel appeared in an octavo volume with a dedication to Thomas Carlyle. Its purpose, according to Dickens himself, was to satirize "those who see figures and averages and nothing else—the representatives of the wickedest and most enormous vice of this time — the men who through long years to come will do more to damage the really useful facts of Political Economy than I could do (if I tried) in my whole life." The satire, however, like much that Dickens attempted in the same vein, was not very bitter. The characters in "Hard Times" are not numerous; and the plot itself is less intricate than others by the same author. The chief figures are Mr. Thomas Gradgrind, "a man of realities," with his unbounded faith in statistics; Louisa, his eldest daughter; and Josiah Bounderby, as practical as Mr. Gradgrind, but less kind-hearted. Louisa, though many years younger than Mr. Bounderby, is persuaded by her father to marry him. She is also influenced in making this marriage by her desire to smooth the path of her brother Tom, a clerk in Mr. Bounderby's office. Though not happy, she resists the blandishments of James Harthouse, a professed friend of her husband's. To escape him she has to go home to her father; and this leads to a permanent estrangement between husband and wife. In the mean time Tom Gradgrind has stolen money from Bounderby, and to avoid punishment runs away from England ...

This was the first of Baum's books for children; it is a collection of very short stories, each based upon one of the familiar rhymes of Mother Goose. In the introduction, Baum explains that many of the rhymes "are but bare suggestions, leaving the imagination to weave in the details of the story. . .1 have thought the children might like to have the stories told at greater length.. . [and] for that reason I have written this book." Although he tells us that he has "followed mainly the suggestions of the rhymes", actually the tales are original inventions of the author rather than (as one might suppose from the title) merely expansions of the old nursery rhymes. Dorothy, a little farm girl, appears in the last story, and it is likely that she is the original idea for the Dorothy who later becomes the heroine of Oz.

Southey's Oriental Romances, Thalaba the Destroyer and The Curse of Kehama, are, I suppose, almost wholly unknown to the younger generation of readers. It must be confessed that they are not commended by their metrical form; but they display great power of imagination, and convey an admirable moral. I have tried to tell these two stories in prose. I have added the Story of Rustem, greatly condensed, from Firdausi's Shah-Nameh, or Book of the Kings. I have availed myself of M. Jules Mohl's translation from the Persian, a popular edition of which, in seven octavo volumes, was published under the care of Madame Mohl in the years 1876-78. It was necessary to take some liberties with the story, for the chief of which I may plead the authority of Mr. Matthew Arnold, who, in his beautiful poem of "Sohrab and Rustem," represents the father as believing that the child born to him by his Tartar wife is a girl. In Firdausi's poem he knows that he has a son, but cannot believe that so young a child can be his stalwart antagonist.
