Agnes Giberne

Sinopse

Agnes Giberne's "Little 'Why-because'" is a charming exploration of the world through a child's eyes, blending whimsical narratives with profound inquiries into nature and existence. The book employs a playful literary style that invites young readers to ponder the reasons behind everyday phenomena, deftly combining elements of fairy tale and didactic prose. In the context of late 19th-century literature, Giberne's writing is imbued with a spirit of curiosity and an emphasis on moral and scientific education, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with the natural world and childhood exploration. Giberne, born in 1845, was a pioneer in children's literature, drawing from her own experiences with nature and the formative questions of youth. Having authored numerous works aimed at enriching the minds of young readers, her motivation in writing "Little 'Why-because'" stemmed from her desire to bridge the gap between imagination and understanding. This book embodies her belief in nurturing curiosity in children, a principle rooted in her broader educational philosophy. This delightful volume is highly recommended for parents and educators seeking to inspire wonder and critical thinking in children. With its engaging narrative and thought-provoking questions, "Little 'Why-because'" serves not only as a source of entertainment but also as a catalyst for deeper understanding of the world around us.

The Guest Rites

Robert Silverberg

The Guest Rites by Robert Silverberg - Carthule was not the Earthman's god, but Carthule protected him while he was a guest in the temple—even if he tore the temple down!
It was time for the after-meal meditation. Marik, First Priest of Carthule, finished his frugal meal and went outside to sit in the mid-day breeze and watch the sands blowing gently over the bare flat plains. The problem of the Revelation occupied his reveries: why had Carthule, in His infinite wisdom, waited so long to reveal to His people that they were not alone in the universe?
Marik looked up at the glowing dot behind the gray wall of the sky. That, he knew, was the Sun. And there were other planets, some inhabited, some not. Carthule was not alone; He was one of nine. And His people had never suspected the truth until the flaming ships of the third planet—Earth, was it?—had broken through the skies, and the small white people had told them of the other worlds.
The problem was one which the greatest theologians of the time—in whose number Marik, without pride, deemed himself—had discussed at great length, never coming to a solution. Marik and Polla San, of the neighboring temple, had finally concluded that Carthule moved in ways too complex for His mortal people to understand.
Marik lowered his gaze from the sky and looked out across the dry expanse of desert. He could make out, dimly, Polla San's temple far across the sands. Polla San was due to visit him shortly, he recalled. Or was it the other way around? Marik frowned; he was getting old, and soon would have to relinquish his duties to one of the younger acolytes and spend his remaining decades sitting dreaming in the afternoon.
Calmly Marik settled into the semi-somnolence of the after-meal meditation, fixing his gaze on the far-off temple of Polla San but turning his vision inward.
