A Novel of forbidden love and religious war in the quest to find the mysterious Parchment of Circles • Centers…
on the search for the Parchment of Circles, an ancient map said to lead to mystical wisdom that challenges the story of Christ’s resurrection, validates the Cathar faith, and serves as the Templars’ blackmail against the Church • Includes a complex cast of characters including a rabbi and nun who fall in love, St. Francis of Assisi, Knights Templar, the Pope, and the Sultan of Egypt Set in the 13th century, this sweeping historical novel opens on the island of Torcello, outside Venice, in 1219, after the Crusaders have lost possession of Jerusalem. Yehezkel, a young yet revered kabbalist and student of Maimonides, is on the island for a secret meeting of rabbis. He is chosen to travel to Jerusalem to seek definitive proof of the Talmud’s antiquity, a search that grows to include the hunt for the mysterious Parchment of Circles. This ancient map could not only help Yehezkel’s quest, but also lead to explosive evidence about Christ’s resurrection that would destroy the Roman Church. Before leaving the island, Yehezkel rescues a young Cistercian abbess from drowning in the Venetian Lagoon. Galatea, the beautiful nun, has been plagued by mystic visions and prophetic dreams throughout her life, leading her to become a devotee of Hildegard von Bingen. Driven by premonitions of an “enigma in Jerusalem,” she abandons her monastic life and the orthodoxy of the Church and joins Yehezkel on his pilgrimage. On the way to Jerusalem, after being shipwrecked on Crete, the two meet St. Francis of Assisi in Cyprus and join him across the lines of the Fifth Crusade in his attempt to convert the Sultan of Egypt. Over the year-long trip, they also fall in love. But the rabbi and the nun are not the only ones seeking the Parchment of Circles: The Pope sends his agents in search of it, and the Knights Templar are also in pursuit of the Parchment, for the ancient map serves as the Templars’ blackmail against the Church. What none of these deadly adversaries know is that the Parchment leads to an even more startling secret with profound religious significance for the future of humanity. It’s not a question of who finds it first, but who survives to unlock the Parchment’s secrets.Cincuenta Sombras De Los Tentáculos De Grey - 1

livro erótico' no e-festival de palavras. Descrição promocional: A Elle James é uma autora virgem e foi premiada com um óscar, na sua faculdade Erotic Writing Club, e um dia a sua amiga Sarah, igualmente autora de livros eróticos, pediu-lhe um favor, algo fácil, que era ir substituí-la numa entrevista que tinha que fazer ao famoso e bilionário especialista em BDSM. Ela aceitou fazer esse favor à Sarah, pois acha que essa entrevista pode ajudá-la com as suas pesquisas, para os livros de BDSM, que estava a escrever. Sendo uma rapariga forte e determinada, ela não tem interesse num estilo de vida BDSM; ela reconhece que, simplesmente, não é adequado à sua personalidade. Contudo, quando se encontra com o Sr. Grey, na sede da empresa dele, o seu objetivo fica incerto, pois sente que se está a sujeitar à vontade dele. O Sr. Grey, um bilionário bonito, esconde um segredo profundo e obscuro (não; não é o que você está a pensar. É outro segredo profundo e obscuro) e, embora já tenha tido muitas mulheres submissas, anteriormente, descobre que há algo diferente na Elle, algo que o deixou intrigado. Mas, ele ficou com dúvidas em relação a ela; não sabia se podia confidenciar-lhe tudo o que queria, nem se podia confiar nela, contudo, este casal embarca numa jornada sexual, que a vai levar a extremos e fazer com que o Sr. Grey tome uma decisão que poderá resultar na sua ruína...

viaje por carretera. Me incliné a ambos lados y levanté mi falda hasta mis caderas para que pudiera descansar su mano en mi culo mientras conducía. El sol entraba a través del techo corredizo abierto y mi trasero se sentía cálido a pesar de su casi desnudez. ¡Cómo disfrutaba de esa sensación ahora! De repente, el claxon de un tráiler sonó. "¡Oye!", oí a un hombre gritar. "¡Eh, gran carga!" Hace un año, me habría mortificado. Ya no. Voltee a mirar. Un semirremolque viajaba junto a nosotros. El copiloto me miraba el culo desnudo. El conductor se inclinaba, tratando de alcanzar a ver. "¿Les gusta lo que ven, chicos?", grité, moví mi cuerpo en el asiento para que mis nalgas se sacudieran. "¡OOOOH-EEEEH! ¡Agita ese culo, mami! " En ese momento, algo se apoderó de mí. Era como si la bestia que por tanto tiempo había sido enjaulada en mi trasero, finalmente, se había liberado. Quería salir. Completamente. Desabroché el cinturón de seguridad y salté a mi asiento. Me deslicé con esfuerzo a través del techo abierto, todo y culo. Me bajé la ropa interior, levanté mi falda, y me mostré al mundo. Hasta la última pulgada que se sacudía en mí. "¡Miren mi culo!", grité, golpeándolo duro con la palma. "¡Miren mi culo!" Rebotaba, saltando arriba y abajo en el mismo lugar, y mi culo, tan inmenso como era, también rebotaba; su gordura aterrizaba en el techo caliente del auto para luego regresar hasta la cintura con alegre ritmo, mientras lo señalaba y reía. "¡Miren mi culo!" La vida de una joven mujer cambia para siempre cuando descubre lo que todos a su alrededor han sabido desde el principio: que un famoso rasgo familiar ha vuelto a aparecer en un lugar muy lamentable -su propio trasero.

Un fine settimana, pochi mesi dopo, John e io andammo in un viaggio su strada. Mi ero chinata lateralmente e…
avevo alzato la gonna sui fianchi in modo che potesse appoggiare la mano sul mio culo mentre stava guidando. La luce del sole entrava attraverso il tetto aperto e il mio culo era caldo nonostante la sua quasi nudità. Come mi gusto quella sensazione ora! Improvvisamente un camion suonò il clacson. "Hey!" Sentii un uomo urlare. "Ehi, grosso carico!" Un anno prima, ne sarei stata mortificata. Non più. Mi voltai a guardare. Un semi rimorchio viaggiava accanto a noi. L'uomo sul sedile del passeggero stava fissando il mio culo scoperto. L'autista era appoggiato sopra, cercando di dare uno sguardo. "Vi piace quello che vedete, ragazzi?» Gridai di nuovo, sdrusciando il mio corpo sul sedile per mostrare la mia groppa e la mia fessura. "WOOOO-EEEE! Agita il culo, bella! " In quel momento, qualcosa prese possesso di me. Era come se la bestia che era stata così a lungo incatenata al mio fondo schiena era finalmente libera della sua gabbia. Voleva uscire. Tutta fuori. Slacciai la mia cintura di sicurezza e saltai sul sedile. Con uno sforzo uscii attraverso il tetto aperto, con il sedere e tutto il resto. E poi mi mossi fuori dalle mutandine, alzai la gonna, e mi mostrai al mondo. Ogni singolo centimetro di me. "Guardate il mio culo!" Urlai, schiaffeggiandolo forte con il palmo della mano. "Guardate il mio sedere!" Stavo rimbalzando, saltando su e giù sul posto, e il mio culo, gigante come era, anche stava rimbalzando, con il grasso che atterrava sul tetto caldo della macchina per poi ritirarsi di nuovo fino alla mia vita in ritmo felice mentre indicavo e ridevo.

By S. T. Joshi, Edward Lucas White. 2016
This original compilation presents chilling tales of terror by an unjustly neglected author. Inspired by the works of Edgar Allan…
Poe as well as his own vivid nightmares, Edward Lucas White (1866-1934) weaves a tapestry of weird stories populated by ghouls, monsters, a witch doctor, and creatures of ancient myths. The collection features White's most famous story, "Lukundoo," a gripping fable of an American explorer who incurs the wrath of an African sorcerer. Other tales include "Sorcery Island," an uncanny foreshadowing of television's The Prisoner, "The Flambeau Bracket," "The House of the Nightmare," "The Song of the Sirens," and five other stories. Additional selections include the haunting poems "Azrael" and "The Ghoula" and an essay in which the author reflects on the influence of dreams in his fiction. Editor S. T. Joshi provides an informative Introduction to White's life and work.Rochester Knockings

"Hats off to one of the most inventive writers of French literature. . . . Hubert Haddad concocts a colorful…
novel, funny and inventive, as clever as the Fox sisters themselves."--Jean-François Delapré, Saint Christophe bookstoreThe Fox sisters grew up just outside of Rochester, NY, in a house that had a reputation for being haunted, due in large part to a series of strange "rappings" or "knockings" that plagued its inhabitants. Fed up by whatever was responsible for the knockings, the youngest of the sisters (who was twelve at the time) challenged the ghost and ended up communicating with the spirit of Charles Haynes, who had been murdered in the house and buried in the cellar.Thanks to the enthusiasm of one Isaac Post, the Fox sisters became instantly famous for talking to the dead, launching the Spiritualist Movement in the US. After taking Rochester by storm, the sisters moved to New York where they were the most famous mediums of the time, giving séances for hundreds of people.Then, it all fell apart, and the sisters were exposed as frauds. Nevertheless, even today the Fox sisters are considered to be the founders of Spiritualism, one of the most popular religious movements of the past couple centuries (consider the success of Long Island Medium and the hundreds of thousands who visit Lily Dale every year).Rich in historical detail, Rochester Knockings novelizes the rise and fall of these most infamous of mediums. Hubert Haddad was born in Tunisia, and is the author of dozens of works, including the novels Palestine (winner of the Prix des Cinq Continents de la Francophonie), Tango chinois, and La Condition magique (winner of the Grand Prix du Roman de la Société des Gens de Lettres).Originally published in 1963, this is a collection of true, authenticated accounts of experiences with "living" ghosts, written and compiled…

introduction to important imperceptible truths."The elaborate rituals of the ancient Mysteries and the simpler ceremonials of modern religious institutions had a common purpose. Both were designed to preserve, by means of symbolic dramas and processionals, certain secret and holy processes, by the understanding of which man may more intelligently work out his salvation. The pages which follow will be devoted to an interpretation of some of these allegories according to the doctrine of the ancient seers and sages."Couching at the Door: Strange And Macabre Tales (Tales Of Mystery And The Supernatural Ser.)
By D. K. Broster. 2016
In this collection of dark, supernatural tales the esteemed author D. K. Broster gave full reign to her vivid imagination.…
Sometimes--as in "The Window" or "The Pestering," or "All Soul's Day"--these are what we might call 'explainable' ghost stories: apparitions or hauntings whose origin is to be found in some violent or unjust action in the past. Other stories, "Couching at the Door" and "From the Abyss," have little or no explanation, even in supernatural terms. Add to these an elegant reworking of the Persephone myth, "The Taste of Pomegranates," the downright bloodthirsty "Clairvoyance," and the psychological studies, "The Promised Land" and "The Pavement" which so well merit the heading 'Madness and Obsession', and you have a collection to disturb and unsettle the strongest nerves.Literary historian Jack Adrian describes Couching at the Door as "a pure masterwork, one of the most satisfying weird collections of the century".Charleston Ghosts

Charleston, South Carolina, famous for its magnolia and azalea gardens, its Battery, its plantations, and its key role in early…
American history has certainly had its share of ghosts. They stalk the halls of townhouses once famous for gracious living and romance; they inhabit lonely stretches of moss-draped roads; and they roam the deserted garden paths of the old plantations outside the city.Charleston Ghosts brings to life an intriguing group of personalities who act out their fateful roles in true-to-legend style."Eighteen delightful ghost tales about Charleston and the Lowcountry told as only a native Charlestonian could tell them."--Charleston News and CourierVoodoo in Haiti
By Alfred Métraux, Hugo Charteris. 2016
Voodoo in Haiti is a masterwork of observation and description by one of the most distinguished anthropologists of the twentieth…
century. Alfred Métraux has written a rich and lasting study of the lives and rituals of the Haitian mambos and adepts, and of the history and origins of their religion. It is an accurate and engaging account of one of the most fascinating and misunderstood cultures in the world."Métraux's book is a landmark in the serious study of Afro-Atlantic religion. The breadth and subtlety of its approach is such that it remains an essential classic of Afro-American ethnology."--Robert Farris Thompson, professor of art history, Yale University, author of Flash of the Spirit"This is a work deserving of wide readership, and assured of it by its understanding and appeal."--Library Journal"This book gives what is surely the most authoritative general account of that complex of belief and practice called vaudou available in the literature....No other observer of vaudou has contributed to its study the exquisite documentation of detail that marks the work of Alfred Métraux."--Sidney W. Mintz, professor of anthropology, Johns Hopkins UniversityThe White Witch Of Rosehall
By Herbert G. De Lisser. 2016
A very striking and curious story, founded on fact, of the West Indies of the early nineteenth century.Robert Rutherford is…
sent to the Islands to learn the planter's business from the bottom. He becomes an overseer at Rosehall, the property of a young widow, Mrs Palmer, whose three husbands have all died in curious circumstances. She takes a violent fancy to Rutherford, who is also embarrassed by the attentions of his half-caste housekeeper, Millicent. His housekeeper is urging him, with some success, to fall in with West Indian habits, when Mrs Palmer arrives. Millicent defies her and threatens her with the powers of Takoo, an Obeah man. Mrs Palmer, herself skilled in Obeah magic, puts a spell on the girl, which Takoo's rites, shattered by the white woman's stronger magic, are powerless to remove."de Lisser utilizes the conventions of a romantic entanglement to investigate and debate the wider socio-political issues within the novel that relate to colonialism, Jamaican identity and culture... The White Witch of Rosehall is a delightful read, written by an author who sought not only to entertain, but also to educate."--Donna-Marie Tuck, Society for Caribbean Studies NewsletterMeu Cachorro-Quente Veio à Vida e Me Fudeu
