The famous Sundara Kanda of Valmiki Ramayana, an epic from India.
When a woman vanished in Adelard Odd’s room, the resultant scandal closed the asylum at Quartersoake permanently. In 1925, nearly twenty years after Odd’s death, Lewis Spender and Roger North are willing to brave the room’s evil reputation in order to discover the truth. In this novel by W.S. Lacey, appalling things happen to wonderful people and at least one person goes in want of an umbrella.
Este livro é uma colectânea de artigos escritos por mim no jornal Terra Nova, desde 1991 até à presente data (2012). O propósito desta obra é, em primeiro lugar, fazer uma retrospecção do que tem acontecido desde a introdução do regime democrático em Cabo Verde, isto é, a partir de 13 de Janeiro de 1991, data em que, pela primeira vez, houve eleições livres nas nossas ilhas, das quais resultou o pluralismo partidário, base da nossa presente democracia.
1. Que diferença existe entre um corvo e um ser humano? Antes de tentar responder à pergunta: que diferença existe entre um corvo e um ser humano, devo descrever um acontecimento que me inspirou a escrever este capítulo cujo título, à primeira vista, possa parecer provocativo ao leitor. Em Agosto de 2004 vi, na televisão Norueguesa, um corvo ferido, no topo de uma árvore, a ser salvo por bombeiros, usando helicópteros. Li também no jornal norueguês, diário de Stavang...
Having lost her mother, and virtually rendered `orphan`, in the absence of `father`, a little girl Named Bhoomika, by dint of sheer circumstances, happens to reach a virgin teacher. Here, the `blessed opportunity for education` awaits her, as she is inspired and guided by this benevolent lady towards higher education. Once, she was offered a part-time job of `a reader for a blind class-fellow` of hers at Khadi Degree College, Guwahati: and she gladly accepted it. Of cou...
"In fact, I had never spoken to her even a single word, though she continued to send me signals for initiating a dialogue with her. I had to go to fetch my daily quota of water from the water-tap, provided at the back of her tenement, for all the four segments, in the vicinity. Almost every time, we had to place our buckets or utensils, in a queue, while waiting for our turn. Being shy of passing through the front lane, while approaching the water-tap, I preferred to wal...

The Pure Divine Love Separation between Hindu Godhead Sri Krishna and His Consort Srimati Radharani,
After reading the novel “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” (Leo Tolstoy – 1886), my mind was flooded with thoughts and then came the idea for this blog post. Unfortunately, I have never had a near-death experience. Fortunately, I also do not have the experience of death. Therefore, for me, what can be more difficult to grasp than “Death”?, thought I and wrote this post.
Both types of death have the same destination but slow death chooses a more poetic journey to the end — a longer route on a slower train. Which type of Death do you wish for?
Apparently, there’s been an underground, cold war going on, not noticed much by humans, between “good” vampires—those who have altered their biological needs and can use synthetic blood—and “bad” vampires—Rogues who actively enjoy hunting, draining and butchering humans. Now Sheriff Hudson and his friends are in the middle of the war, which has gone above-ground and hot. The chase to catch and stop—kill if necessary—the Rogues consumes Hudson and his crew, as they strug...
“Man, I’ve never seen anything like this,” I mutter to the screen in front of me. The stale smelling air in the office circulates slowly around me as the electronics hum in the background. “You know? I’ve been in this business a damn long time and never…” Max grunts as he looks over the vid I’ve sent him. “Spirit! Me neither. What the hell happened? Someone making some crazy juice up there? Found any?” He glances back to me from the other screen, grimacing. He’s been ...
A novella describing a single evening in a bar and two people who are surprised to find they like each other even though it's obvious to everyone else.
“I know it’s none of my business, but is she serious?” Kitty shrugged, “Just a phase. And too young anyway.” The Professor wore a downtrodden face when he said that if that was the case, every woman in the joint was too young for him. “Not true,” Kitty compared him to fine wine, or better yet whiskey. He had gained subtleties from the barrel and had been gentled by experience. “Ah,” the Professor said. “And Skates?” “Boone's Farm.” They laughed and a...

Poursuivant son obsession dans de superbes coins de nature, de la très chic Irlande jusqu'au plus lointain marigot africain, des Bahamas ensoleillés jusqu'au Grand Nord canadien, l'auteur relate avec verve l'exaltation, le découragement ou l'entêtement qui animent les parties de pêche.

Je socialise avec le garde, discute gestion du fonds piscicole, respecte les limites horaires, territoriales et matérielles. Mais que surviennent trois bredouilles, deux déconvenues ou une grosse tentation, et mes démons ré...
Неистините в съвременната космология и физика.
They conquered the universe and proclaimed themselves gods. The endless span of worlds was theirs to command. At the height of their power they realized they had but one foe left - death. They saw it as a limit to their power, a gap they could not cross. They named it the Void and in their arrogance they even believed they could defeat it - though in order to do so they had to become one with it. And so the Plague was born. The universe conquered anew. But there were...
CHAPTER 1 -- THE BLACK DOOR OPENS In centuries there had been none like him. A Black Mage, a true Gatekeeper. Possibly even a god. Was there no limit to his power and potential? He certainly thought not, and meant to test that belief. What better way to do so than a journey through the Black Door? He had already confirmed his ability to control the Rift, and now with fifty of his most loyal soldiers he would enter it – to the dead with the Keeper and his archa...

Mrs. Macy set down her teacup. Peter knew to remain silent. She began, “I want to make sure I understand this situation correctly. Peter observed a man in rags giving a dying man a sip of water. For whatever reason, he was curious about him. He told his friends and we, in an effort to be supportive, joined in a search to find the man. We have not been successful in our search, although we have encountered some interesting stories along the way. Then, suddenly, the FB...
