Download or read book An Irreverent Curiosity written by David Farley and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-07-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read David Farley's posts on the Penguin Blog.A tour through the centuries and through a bizarre Italian town in search of an unbelievable relic: the foreskin of Jesus Christ In December 1983, a priest in the Italian hill town of Calcata shared shocking news with his congregation: the pride of their town, the foreskin of Jesus, had been stolen. Some postulated that it had been stolen by Satanists. Some said the priest himself was to blame. Some even pointed their fingers at the Vatican. In 2006, travel writer David Farley moved to Calcata, determined to find the missing foreskin, or at least find out the truth behind its disappearance. Farley recounts how the relic passed from Charlemagne to the papacy to a marauding sixteenth-century German solider before finally ending up in Calcata, where miracles occurred that made the sleepy town a major pilgrimage destination. Blending history, travel, and perhaps the oddest story in Christian lore, An Irreverent Curiosity is a weird and wonderful tale of conspiracy and misadventure.

In Oxford in 1269, the discovery of a decapitated monk leads Ian Morson's academic sleuth William Falconer to uncover a link to the relic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never mess with the relics of the old gods… or the pixies who once guarded them. After her mom’s disappearance six months ago, Bethany Aodhán has been running their tavern in old Deva—something her family had been doing ever since a light-fingered pixie lost them the job of guarding the treasures of the old gods eons ago. Then her brother, Lugh, is attacked, his best friend murdered, and the tavern firebombed. A confrontation with a former lover leads to the discovery of another murder and a missing jewel from a godly relic, and Beth learns that the Éadrom Hoard—one of three godly hoards now guarded by the elves—has been stolen. But this is no ordinary theft. Darker forces are at work, and they’re not only seeking the means to resurrect a god of destruction but the power to forever banish daylight. That power lay with Agrona’s Claws—three godly artifacts that, when used together, give the user full control over night itself. With the webs of suspicion drawing ever tighter around them, Beth & Lugh—with the help of two sexy elves and a cantankerous old goddess who knows far more than she admits—race to find the missing artifacts before those intent on unleashing chaos. It’s a race they must win, because it’s not just their lives on the line, but the fate of modern-day England.

Book excerpt: Near the close of the Civil War, as General Sherman blazed his path to the sea, an unknown infantryman rifled through the North Carolina state house.The soldier was hunting for simple Confederate mementos—maps, flags, official correspondence—but he wound up discovering something far more valuable. He headed home to Ohio with one of the touchstones of our republic: one of the fourteen original copies of the Bill of Rights. Lost Rights follows that document’s singular passage over the course of 138 years, beginning with the Indiana businessman who purchased the looted parchment for five dollars, then wending its way through the exclusive and shadowy world of high-end antiquities—a world populated by obsessive archivists, oddball collectors, forgers, and thieves— and ending dramatically with the FBI sting that brought the parchment back into the hands of the government. For fans of The Billionaire’s Vinegar and The Lost Painting, Lost Rights is “a tour de force of antiquarian sleuthing” (Hampton Sides).

The Aelfir who had brought trade and riches, and a future full of promise. But when the Thaumaturgists, overlords of human and Aelfir alike, went to war, everything was ruined and the Labyrinth became an abandoned forbidden zone, where humans were trapped behind boundary walls 100 feet high. Now the Aelfir are a distant memory and the Thaumaturgists have faded into myth. Young Clara struggles to survive in a dangerous and dysfunctional city, where eyes are keen, nights are long, and the use of magic is punishable by death. She hides in the shadows, fearful that someone will discover she is touched by magic. She knows her days are numbered. But when a strange man named Fabian Moor returns to the Labyrinth, Clara learns that magic serves a higher purpose and that some myths are much more deadly in the flesh. The only people Clara can trust are the Relic Guild, a secret band of magickers sworn to protect the Labyrinth. But the Relic Guild are now too few. To truly defeat their old nemesis Moor, mightier help will be required. To save the Labyrinth - and the lives of one million humans - Clara and the Relic Guild must find a way to contact the worlds beyond their walls.

Download or read book Harvest Moon Blues written by Jack Rose and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2023-12-27 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The night draped itself over Bourbon Street like a heavy velvet curtain, and the city of New Orleans came alive in the clandestine embrace of a jazz-filled speakeasy. The air was thick with the smoky residue of secrets and the haunting strains of saxophones that lingered like whispers. Jack Callahan slipped through the beaded curtain at the entrance, a silent silhouette against the backdrop of dimly lit tables and the glow of illegal spirits. The room pulsed with the hypnotic rhythm of jazz, performed by a band tucked away in a corner, hidden behind a haze of cigar smoke. The clinking of glasses, laughter that danced on the edge of mischief, and the occasional muted footfall created a symphony of decadence. At the bar, a bartender with a pencil mustache slid a glass toward Jack, who nodded in silent acknowledgment. His eyes scanned the room, taking in the eclectic crowd—a mix of flapper-dressed ladies, sharp-dressed men, and the occasional mysterious figure shrouded in shadows. The flickering candlelight cast distorted shadows on the exposed brick walls, revealing the clandestine nature of this establishment. Jack's fedora cast a shadow over his eyes as he leaned against the bar, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. He observed the patrons, noting the subtle exchanges, the clandestine meetings, and the unspoken transactions. The air crackled with an undercurrent of anticipation, as if the night itself held secrets that begged to be unraveled. The jazz crescendo, reaching its zenith, and a sultry singer took the stage. Her voice, a sultry blend of smoke and honey, wrapped around the room like a spell. The audience, lost in the intoxication of the melody, became unwitting participants in a clandestine dance between the living and the shadows. As Jack sipped his whiskey, he knew that beneath the veneer of revelry, the Crescent City harbored mysteries waiting to be unearthed.
