Download or read book The Torch Bearers written by Bernard Victor Dryer and published by New York : Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1968 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tells of surgeon-aristocrat Mayoso Marti, an unconventional, contradictory man of enormous magnetism and courage whose intense loyalties to persona and principle draw him into a life of double jeopardy. One is a world of established wealth and power the other is one of hunger and adversity. Through Mayosoʼs burning commitment to the value of the individual human life, these opposite worlds are interlocked as the novel moves from a Connecticut mansion to a hospital faced with scandal, to a cathedral confessional, to the bullet-spattered avenidas of Caracas, to an American courtroom shocked into silence. Itʼs an emotional sage of abortion versus the Catholic faith.

He finds that the gods' last hope lies in the hands of those who channel the mysterious power of the Vedas. Caught in a cosmic crossfire, with a talking fish, some inventive monkeys and a few unexpected allies, Prem learns of his true identity-as a Torchbearer. Can the Torchbearers stop bloodthirsty demons from getting their hands on the Nectar of Immortality and bring the gods back to power?

Book excerpt: THE TORCHBEARER follows THE SWORDSMAN as the second book of the WINDOW TO YESTERDAY series. What is it like to be so different? Not just different. To be told you can't do things others can do. Because you're different. And they won't let you go home. Well, they let you go there, but they say your home isn't really yours. And they don't allow you to do things. Even there. So home isn't really home. So you go somewhere new, where no one knows you. And you make friends. But then they say you're different - same story and worse - that you're evil. It's hard to believe what they accuse you of... When they attack others like you, do you run? Or fight? There are a lot more of them than you. The answer: it depends. On the details. Then you'll understand. "The Torchbearer is a beautiful entrée into the fascinating and often astonishing world of Jewish life during the Middle Ages.

This book brings this universe to life in all its complexity through an engaging narrative with adventure, surprise and intrigue." - Dr. Reuven Firestone, Regenstein Professor in Medieval Judaism and Islam at Hebrew Union College and Affiliate Professor of Religion at the University of Southern California "Ever wonder what life was like for a Jewish kid during the First Crusade?

What a fabulous addition to the Jewish educational landscape." - Dr. Rachel Lerner, Dean, Graduate Center for Jewish Education, American Jewish University "Once again, Jeff Lefkowitz lights the way for teens toward a deeper understanding of Jewish life and history. The Torchbearer, his latest addition to the Window to Yesterday series, is a well-researched, relevant, and marvelous journey. Truly fun to read." - Dr. Bruce Powell, Head Emeritus, de Toledo High School and co-author of Raising A+ Human Beings "I definitely recommend this book!

Book excerpt: Kashmir, the paradise on earth with its glorious history, strategic location and unique cultural ethos based on the synthesis of the diverse civilizations, remains the second undecided human problem on the UN agenda, after Palestine. Kashmir has remained an attraction for invaders and aggressors. From the 16th century onwards, it fell to the Mughals, the Pathans, the Sikhs of the Punjab and finally it was sold to a neighbouring Dogra chieftain whose family ruthlessly ruled it for a century. This is where our story takes place. It revolves around the young daughter of a poor widow maidservant who loves a young boy from a poor family. This love affair and the struggle for freedom in Kashmir develops simultaneously. The lovers undergo unexpected vicissitudes just like the freedom Movement, which for the follies and treacheries of its leadership led to an uncertain future of its people including these lovers. The fictional treatment of contemporary political history, the wars fought on its soil, the Indian intransigence, hypocritical vacillation of Pakistan, criminal silence of the UNO and the political opportunism of big powers weave the plot together. The idyllic environs, rich cultural heritage, creative intellect, dexterous and beautiful arts and crafts and mystique in blended sceneries of Kashmir a legend is the backdrop of this original story from a son of the soil.

Though the island appears uninhabited, the kids can't shake a feeling that something about it is definitely not right. Their suspicions grow when they stumble upon an abandoned houseboat filled with all sorts of curiosities: odd-looking weapons, unnerving portraits, maps to unknown places, and a glass jar containing something completely unidentifiable. And in its lowest depths churns a dark, deep secret. As the group delves deeper into this mysterious new clubhouse, their lives begin to intertwine in weird and dangerous ways. For something ancient has awakened . . . and it can detect not only their wishes and dreams, but also their darkest, most terrible imaginings. Do they have what it takes to face the shadowy secrets lurking within their own hearts? Told from alternating points of view, this pulse-racing tale from bestselling duo Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs is the start of a high-stakes, thrilling series about friendship and believing in yourself--and each other.
