The First Sexton Blake MEGAPACK®: 23 Classic Mystery Cases by Anonymous Pdf

Sexton Blake is a fictional character, a detective who has been featured in many British comic strips, novels, and dramatic productions since 1893. As the years passed, Blake’s character experienced various permutations. He was originally created to be similar to earlier 19th-century detectives but during the late 1890s, Blake’s authors consciously modeled him on Sherlock Holmes. Sexton Blake adventures were featured in a wide variety of British and international publications (in many languages) from 1893 to 1978, comprising more than 4,000 stories by some 200 different authors. Blake was also the hero of numerous silent and sound movies, radio serials, and a 1960s ITV television series. This volume contains 23 tales, originally published in 1908 and 1909. Included are:: A CONFIDENTIAL REPORT MY LORD THE BABY THE SILVER CANDLESTICK THE TATTOOED EYE MRS. LAMBERT’S LODGER A SLIP OF THE PEN AN ARTIFICIAL CLUE A MODERN ALCHEMIST THE ANCIENT MONK THE BLACK CAT AN OLD MAN’S DARLING THE BLUE LINE THE AMATEUR BURGLAR PY PONK THE YOUNG EARL NO ROBBERY A HOLIDAY TASK FOR SAFE DEPOSIT THE BARTON TUNNEL MYSTERY THE ADVENTURE OF THE COFFEE-POT THE BLACK PEARL OF BAHREIN THE BLACK DIAMOND THE MISSING WILL If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see more of the 300+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction -- and much, much more!

Indian Love Poems by Meena Alexander Pdf

"Indian Love Poems is a gathering of poems from across more than two and a half millennia that attempts to catalog the disordered ecstasies of love, ranging from the Kama Sutra and earlier works up to present-day India and the poets of the Indian diaspora." "Indian Love Poems features works from the classical languages of Sanskrit and Tamil and such later languages as Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam, Bengali, and English. Emerging from many Indian cultures and eras, the poems collected here reflect a variety of erotic and spiritual passions, and celebrate the powerful role of desire - both male and female - in the intricate dance of existence."--Jacket.

Indian Love Poetry, by Rumi, Tagore & Others by Jaladdin Rumi,Noted Writer and Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore Pdf

Love is a universal feeling but a few lines of musings from a poet--assembled words perhaps softly spoken--can express a romance or desire that if we don't yet have we'd probably like to. And so poets have burnished their dreams throughout history and across the globe, in every culture past and present. For most of us Indian Love Poetry tends to be the erotic and explicit Kama Sutra and The Perfumed Garden. Or the epic adventures in rather grander volumes such as The Epic Of Gilamesh or the Mahabararata. But this Indian Love Poetry explores an altogether softer, gentler more soulful side. Many of the poems you will hear are by writers now forgotten or obscure but whose words speak with a clarity and beauty that belies the fact they were written and translated, in some cases, many centuries ago from Sanskrit and Tamil and then later Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam and Bengali. This selection includes such famed poets as Tagore and Rumi who carefully document observed facets and flakes of love. Men speak about their love and longing for a woman and more unusually for its time, women speak of their love and longing for men. It's a special and unique compilation and whilst new and different is something we can still share and understand.

Ribofunk by Paul Di Filippo Pdf

Tackling genetic engineering, “Di Filippo’s effervescent prose can provoke both hilarity and haunting reflections on our species’ possible fate” (Publishers Weekly). Ribofunk contains eleven masterful and surprising works of imagination. In all of them, biology is the science that drives the engine of life and of story: the Protein Police patrol for renegade gene‐splicers; part‐human sea creatures live in the Great Lakes and clean up toxic spills; a river has become sentient; there is a bodyguard who is part wolverine and a thrill‐seeker climbs a skyscraper and gets stuck, literally.

The Magic Mirror by Elizabeth M. Baeten Pdf

In this book, Elizabeth M. Baeten analyzes the theories of myth propounded by Cassirer, Barthes, Eliade, and Hillman and juxtaposes the insights of these very different perspectives to form a coherent account of myth. She then shows that these theories perform the same function the authors ascribe to myth itself. Moreover, not only do the theories of myth function mythically; the myth embedded in each theory is the same: the telos of human existence is absolute freedom, an unbounded power to constitute the subjective and objective features of existence. The correlate of this myth of absolute creative freedom, Baeten argues, is that the truly human must transcend natural determinations. Baeten understands this to be a dangerous myth and offers an alternative original account of myth-making as an essential strand of cultural production demarcating the human process within the setting of broader natural processes.
