They contained writings proving our ancestral myths and lore are actually rooted in the history and culture of a pre-glacial utopian civilization.

The Age of Reason is formed of two parts. The first, written in 1793 in France during the revolution, is a criticism of not just the Christian church, although it is primarily focused on Christian theology, but as a rejection of all forms of organized religion, including Judaism and Islam. However, Paine's position is not one of atheism, and he begins the book with a declaration of faith in one god.

Un fantástico viaje entre el Cielo y el Infierno En El Gran Divorcio, C. S. Lewis de nuevo utiliza su formidable talento para contar fábulas y alegorías. En un sueño, el escritor se sube a un autobús una tarde lloviznosa y se embarca en un increíble viaje por el Cielo y el Infierno. Este es el punto de partida para la profunda meditación sobre el bien y el mal. "Si insistimos en quedarnos con el Infierno (o incluso la Tierra) no veremos el Cielo: si aceptamos al Cielo no podremos quedarnos ni siquiera con el más pequeño e íntimo souvenir del Infierno."

Das 1896 entstandene Stück greift auf einen zwar zeitbeschränkten Stoff zurück, der aber gerade in den wunderbar zarten Liebesszenen ins zeitlos Dichterische erhoben ist. Das Drama spielt im 16. Jahrhundert während der französischen Glaubenskriege; die Handlung beruht auf historischen Tatsachen, wobei sich Romain Rolland bisweilen sogar darauf beschränkt, geschichtlich überlieferte Texte wörtlich wiederzugeben. In dem historischen Rahmen spielt sich die erschütternde Liebestragödie eines neunzehnjährigen Mädchens, Johanna von Piennes, ab.

This rather incoherent work by Russian anarchist philosopher Michael Bakunin is described in a way that he described his own life: a fragment. Rife with criticisms on Christianity and the technocracy, Bakunin presses communist values without fear of bordering extremism. Listening to this work is like walking through Bakunin’s disjointed mind; often cutting off and starting mid-sentence, including footnotes several paragraphs long as if his thoughts suddenly start to wander, as well as ending rather abruptly mid-sentence.

Die Worte des Glaubens - Ballade 1797: Drei Worte nenn ich euch, inhaltschwer, Sie gehen von Munde zu Munde, Doch stammen sie nicht von außen her, Das Herz nur gibt davon Kunde, Dem Menschen ist aller Wert geraubt, Wenn er nicht mehr an die drei Worte glaubt.

Punschlied (Im Norden zu singen, Ballade 1803): Auf der Berge freien Höhen, In der Mittagssonne Schein, An des warmen Strahles Kräften Zeugt Natur den goldnen Wein. Und noch Niemand hat’s erkundet, Wie die große Mutter schafft; Unergründlich ist das Wirken, Unerforschlich ist die Kraft.

Schillers Ballade „Der Graf von Habsburg“ entstand 1803 und gehört zu seinen spätestens lyrischen Arbeiten. Auf den Stoff stieß er bei den Vorarbeiten zu Wilhelm Tell, als er sich mit der Geschichte der Schweiz befasste. Für Schiller eher eigentümlich setzt er hierin ganz auf die christliche Anschauung, dass ein tugendhaftes, gottesfürchtiges Leben noch auf Erden Belohnung findet.

Der Ring des Polykrates ist eine im Juni 1797 geschriebene Ballade Friedrich Schillers. Sie behandelt das Thema, dass größter Erfolg nur den umso gewisseren tiefen Sturz befürchten lässt. Die Handlung der Geschichte wird auf zwei Tage zusammengedrängt. Zwölf der sechzehn Strophen behandeln ein einzig von Erfolgsmeldungen unterbrochenes, allenfalls mehrstündiges Gespräch des Tyrannen Polykrates von Samos mit seinem Freund, dem auf der reichen Insel Samos zu Besuch weilenden Pharao Amasis.

Toward the end of the Hundred Years War between France and England, as Merlin predicted, a great warrior emerged, uniting a beleaguered nation and leading it to improbable victories. It was said this warrior was a messenger of God. And it may have been, for a country was saved and a kingdom restored. This great leader of men, this messenger who united a nation, was a 17-year-old maiden named Joan.

Chi era il nonno dei robot? Il Golem è forse uno dei più antichi esseri artificiali leggendari: un gigante di argilla creato, su ispirazione divina, da un rabbino, in aiuto degli Ebrei di Praga; un enorme fantoccio che si anima sono quando in fronte gli viene inciso il completo Nome di Dio. In un primo tempo il Golem ubbidirà agli ordini, ma poi comincerà ad avere vita propria, a essere invaso dalla malinconia, a sentirsi solo e diverso. E tra mito, filosofia e fantascienza, la sua storia avrà un finale fiabesco.

Drum-Taps is a collection of poetry written by Walt Whitman during the American Civil War and first published in 1865. Drum-Taps contains poems that bear witness to the violence of war.

From the Introduction: The hand of eternal progress is brushing the cobwebs from the corridors of time and is again revealing to the human race the mysteries of being. As there is "nothing new under the sun", the searchlight of Truth is bringing to light only what has been known to the few in all generations. The time has now come when the few must become the many. The whole world, from the least to the greatest, must know the Truth, so that man may understand the great laws that govern his life.

Friedrich Nietzsche'nin kaleme aldığı "Deccal", Batı felsefesinde derin izler bırakmış cesur ve provokatif bir eserdir. Nietzsche'nin sivri dili ve keskin zekâsıyla Hristiyanlık ve Batı ahlakını temelinden sarsan bu kitap, yazarın "Tanrı öldü" tezini daha da ileriye taşır.

Peter Hartley wrote the poems in this book in a little over a year but they represent many of the joys and some of the sorrows of a lifetime. They reflect a love of Labrador retrievers and penguins, cryptic crosswords, mountains and travel, wild and lonely places, the poetry of Hopkins, baroque music (especially Handel), a dislike for most modern art and architecture, and an extremely odd attitude towards cats. While nearing completion the author’s partner was struck down by motor neuron disease.
