Book excerpt: Follow young Oliver's rebellious coming-of-age in the village of Stillbourne in this comic novel by the radical Nobel Laureate and author of Lord of the Flies. Eighteen is a good time for suffering Welcome to the country town of Stillbourne. Restless teenage resident Oliver wants to enjoy himself before going to university, beginning with his pursuit of the Town Crier's daughter. But in this claustrophobic community - stifled by the English class system, and where everybody knows everyone's business - love, lust and rebellion are closely followed by revenge and embarrassment . . . 'Golding depicts with subtle skill all the pains of growing up and growing old. He treats us to some superb comic episodes.' Daily Telegraph 'Golding's most approachable novel and a curiously personal one, that returns to the mind again and again as if the shames and idylls were one's own.' Guardian 'Neatly drawn, funny and touching . . . The snap, the tang, and the tension in Golding's prose is always a pleasure.' Harper's

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revered ecologist and conservationist examines the origins and possible futures of humankind within the context of the Space Age, masterfully “[communicating] the awesome spectacle of our environmental crisis” (New York Times Book Review) To read Loren Eiseley is to renew a sense of wonder at the miracles and paradoxes of evolution and the ever-changing diversity of life. In this brilliant collection, he considers the cosmological significance and ultimate meanings of our evolutionary history, offering a series of profound, lyrical meditations on the origins and possible futures of humankind against the backdrop of the Apollo landings. As Western civilization attains new heights of scientific awareness and technological skill, he asks, is it also blind to its own limits and destructive capacities? Always a fond observer of the natural world, Eiseley makes a newly urgent, environmentalist plea in The Invisible Pyramid: we must protect the fragile “world island” against our unchecked power to pollute and consume it. “A relentless, haunting, and haunted figure devils the man [Eiseley] and twists from him some of the best prose we have. . . . Eiseley is a master of significant anecdote. There is an unstated but real gothic terror prowling behind his vision.” —New York Times Book Review

Download or read book The Building of the Great Pyramid written by Nicholas Hagger and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he was ten Nicholas Hagger's dentist, Howard Carter's brother, told him about the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb, and he was later given a shawabti (funerary figurine) of Tutankhamun that came from the tomb. As a teenager he was fascinated by the Great Pyramid, and in 1963 he wrote ‘The Riddle of the Great Pyramid' as a parable for our time. Written as a report by an official living at Giza during the construction in progress in c.2600BC, it explains the massive organisation and endeavour that has gone into the building so far when those involved in the work do not know its purpose or why it is being built. The notion of the Great Pyramid as a symbol of bafflement and a microcosm of Western society has haunted Hagger throughout his working life. After visiting it in 2005 he wrote a sequel by the same official, ‘The Meaning and Purpose of the Great Pyramid', which carries the story forward, and after another visit in 2020 he wrote ‘The Great Pyramid as a House of Eternity', which completed a Pyramid trilogy. These three reports, which have followed research into the building of the Great Pyramid for 57 years, are now brought out together with illustrations that throw light on the events described and reveal the Pharaoh's face on the Sphinx. Collectively they offer a factual account of the construction soon after 2600BC and the aspirations of humans seeking a life beyond death before the birth of the established religions, and as parables in the tradition of Swift, they profoundly question the modern world of work and organisation of Western society. They present a quest for eternity that is also a self-aggrandising folly at the beginning of recorded history, and illustrate the dialectic between a quest for Reality and condemnation of follies and vices that Hagger identified as the fundamental theme of world literature in A New Philosophy of Literature.

This book was released on 2024-09-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secret of Zephyria In the vastness of the cosmos, where stars dance their eternal waltz and planets spin in silent orbits, lies a world forgotten by time. Zephyria, a name that whispers ancient secrets, an echo of civilizations lost in the dust of eons. Under the unrelenting scrutiny of two moons, their silvery light bathing the dunes in a spectral glow, stands a monument to the unknown. The Great Pyramid, an obsidian colossus that defies human comprehension, rises like a scar upon the planet's face, an enigma carved in the very stone of mystery. For countless millennia, this slumbering titan remained silent, guardian of unfathomable secrets under a star-studded firmament. The first colonists, lured by rumors of unimaginable riches, arrived on its barren shores with eyes filled with greed and hearts brimming with hope. They sought Luminium, a mineral whose power, it was said, could fuel their ships and extend their fleeting lives beyond the limits imposed by nature. But the pyramid, impervious to their efforts, remained sealed. Its dark chambers, labyrinths of alien wisdom, resisted every attempt at desecration. The Great Pyramid waited, patient as the mountains, eternal as the stars, for the chosen one to arrive. And then, like a meteor piercing the veil of night, came Elara Dawnbringer. Young, impetuous, with a thirst for knowledge that rivaled the vastness of the cosmos, Elara was an enigma herself. She was not driven by earthly riches or the promises of power that seduced her companions. Her heart beat to the rhythm of a higher symphony: the pursuit of knowledge, the yearning to decipher the mysteries that the universe jealously guarded. And it was on the sands of Zephyria, under the imposing shadow of the Great Pyramid, that she found her destiny written in the stars.
