Excerpt from Anno Domini, or a Glimpse at the World Into Which Messias Was Born His little volume is not at all.designed for the T 'learned and wise.' Neither is it meant for such as have time and opportunity to consult the standard works, wherein may be found all the in formation it contains in better form and greater fulness. It has been written solely for'the benefit of those - and they are the majority - who, through lack of leisure or from infelicity of circumstance, are unable to drink of the stream of knowledge nearer to the fountain-head, or who, to vary the metaphor a little, are obliged to content themselves with the rivulet rather than the river.

The Glimpse by Arnold Bennett Pdf

Excerpt from The Glimpse: An Adventure of the Soul I passed from the street between two lackeys who might have been the lackeys of Marie Antoinette into the curtained and velvety calm of those vast suites which a merchant designed in order to flatter the lust of eyes like mine. Plush on the wide silent floors, Indian-red tapestry on the walls, and through each draped doorway confusing and spacious vistas. The woodwork, the bronze fittings, the crystal stalactites, the molded plaster - all showed curious, elaborate craftsmanship. Hundreds of artisans in soiled smocks must have labored for months with dirty, offensive hands to produce that sedate splendor. But they were all gone, all hurried out of sight; and of the underworld only a gloved servility in immaculate hose had been retained.

The Works of Victor Hugo (Classic Reprint) by Victor Hugo Pdf

Excerpt from The Works of Victor Hugo These Greek capitals, black with age, and quite deeply graven in the stone, with I know not what signs peculiar to Gothic caligraphy imprinted upon their forms and upon their attitudes, as though with the purpose of revealing that it had been a hand of the Middle Ages which had inscribed them there, and especially the fatal and melancholy meaning contained in them, struck the author deeply. He questioned himself; he sought to divine who could have been that soul in torment which had not been willing to quit this world without leaving this stigma of crime or unhappi ness upon the brow of the ancient church.

Glimpses of the Wonderful (Classic Reprint) by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR Pdf

Excerpt from Glimpses of the Wonderful The Macedonian king, when he had reached the banks of the Indus, wept like a spoiled child at the belief that he should soon have no more worlds to conquer. He knew not that far beyond the Ganges, whose sacred stream he never visited, was a vast region, more populous, more civilized, and more wealthy than any of those which his armies, in their rapid march from the Hellespont, eastward, to the swift Hydaspes, had overrun. Two hundred years before the era of Alexander the Great flourished Coon-foo-tse, or, as he is known to Europeans, Confucius, the sage and lawgiver of China, and the contemporary of Herodotus, the father of Grecian history.

Scenes From Life in Cairo by Mary Louisa Whately Pdf

Excerpt from Scenes From Life in Cairo: A Glimpse Behind the Curtain This narrative is in a great measure taken from real life, and though the story itself and many of the characters are fictitious, not a few of the conversations are literally true. The Hareem depicted is undoubtedly an exceptional one; but, as the proverb says, exception proves the rule. That the system is bad, and is one of the chief hindrances to improvement in Egypt, no one who really knows anything of the subject can for a moment deny. That recent events may, under Divine guidance, prove a means of opening the doors to education and civilization more than has ever been the case since the Moslem invasion, is the sanguine hope of all true lovers of Egypt. But the Gospel alone can bring the highest and truest wisdom and freedom. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Visualizing Dunhuang by Jun Hu Pdf

"Located at the crossroads of the northern and southern routes of the ancient Silk Road on the edge of the Taklamakan desert in western China, Dunhuang is one of the richest Buddhist sites in China with nearly 500 cave temples constructed between the fourth and the fourteenth century. The sculptures, murals, portable paintings, and manuscripts found in the caves represent every aspect of Buddhism, both doctrinally and artistically. From its earliest construction to the present, Dunhuang has been visualized in many ways by the architects, builders, and artists who made the caves to twentieth-century explorers and photographers, conservators, and contemporary artists. This book explores ways in which Dunhuang has been visualized from its creation to contemporary times. Essays by leading scholars from the U.S., Europe, and China cover a wide range of topics, from the architecture of cave temples to painting and sculptural programs, Buddhist ritual practices, expeditionary photography, conservation, and the contributions of Dunhuang to art history"--

International Review of Biblical Studies, Volume 49 (2002-2003) by Bernhard Lang Pdf

Formerly known by its subtitle “Internationale Zeitschriftenschau für Bibelwissenschaft und Grenzgebiete”, the International Review of Biblical Studies has served the scholarly community ever since its inception in the early 1950’s. Each annual volume includes approximately 2,000 abstracts and summaries of articles and books that deal with the Bible and related literature, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Pseudepigrapha, Non-canonical gospels, and ancient Near Eastern writings. The abstracts – which may be in English, German, or French - are arranged thematically under headings such as e.g. “Genesis”, “Matthew”, “Greek language”, “text and textual criticism”, “exegetical methods and approaches”, “biblical theology”, “social and religious institutions”, “biblical personalities”, “history of Israel and early Judaism”, and so on. The articles and books that are abstracted and reviewed are collected annually by an international team of collaborators from over 300 of the most important periodicals and book series in the fields covered.
