  The Necronomicon - Complete edition

  Abdul Alhazred

  The mysterious and forbidden Necronomicon is a cursed writing of arcane knowledge, forbidden magic and knowledge of dangerous things whose reading provokes madness and death itself. In addition, the book itself has a record of forgotten phrases and incantations that allow contact with beings of inconceivable power, but at the same time it entails an unimaginably horrifying danger to mention them. In short, it is the blasphemy of life. It seemed to be a rumor, but one of the few surviving editions was discovered in 1845 in the desert near Babylon in the caves of Larbit where a remnant of King Ashurbanipal's descendants had been buried.The Necronomicon was written in the ancient city of Damascus by the Arab poet Abdul Al-Hazred according to dates between 730 AD, and it is rumored that he died dismembered and his bones broken into a thousand pieces by an unknown being. Like all those who came in contact with the blasphemies and curses of this noxious book suffered similar fates; mysterious deaths of a cruel and indescribable horror.If you are of a curious spirit, I advise you for your own sake; that you dare not read this book, for if you should do so, only one thing I can tell you as a consolation and assurance: "That death you will never meet it before the horror that awaits you..."

  In a small town far out West, 11-year-old Pollyanna loses her mother and then her dad to disease. This book describes how the orphan is sent to be raised by her aunt who lives far away in the East of the country. Unfortunately, her aunt does not want her but accepts her very reluctantly only out of 'duty' and sticks her into a tiny hot attic room so she will be "out of the way". What Aunt Polly does not know is that Pollyanna is bringing the game of being 'glad' that her father taught her and that her irrepressible happy attitude will transform not only that dull and miserable house but an entire village before she is through.

  Ivan Bunin received the 1933 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the strict artistry with which he has carried on the classical Russian traditions in prose writing." Aristocrat to the core, Bunin somehow remained connected to the land and people and keenly felt their pulse of life. His acute observations resulted in the accurate and unforgettable characters who populated his writing. His love for punctuation and punctilious choice of words is legendary. Reading Bunin's stories is one of the best ways to understand the mysterious Russian soul and begin to understand one of Russia's greatest periods of literature.
