Sinossi

'Pirate Tales for Children (9 Books in One Edition)' presents a riveting anthology that sails across the tempestuous seas of literary history, encapsulating a treasure trove of narratives from the pens of some of the most celebrated authors in literature. This collection explores the adventurous allure and moral undertones of pirate tales, incorporating a diverse array of styles from gothic horror to whimsical fantasy. As these narratives unfold, readers are invited to a world where morality is often blurred, and heroism takes unexpected forms, providing a multifaceted approach to the buccaneer lore that has intrigued generations. The selection of authors such as Robert Louis Stevenson, Edgar Allan Poe, and Charles Dickens, among others, adds historical and cultural depth, reflecting the Victorian fascination with the exotic and the perilous that found vivid expression in pirate stories. These authors, originating from diverse backgrounds but converging in this anthology, contribute to a rich mosaic of 19th-century literature, where each narrative can be seen as a part of a larger dialogue about human nature, society, and the spirit of adventure. This anthology is an essential acquisition for enthusiasts of classic literature and maritime adventures. 'Pirate Tales for Children' offers not just stories, but gateways to the diverse worlds fashioned by some of the greatest storytellers in the English language. Readers young and old will find delight and education in the dynamic interplay of tales that challenge the imagination and invite a deeper understanding of the philosophical and ethical questions that these tales bring to the fore, making it a cherished addition to any literary collection.

    The Arabic Hidden Words Kalimát-i-Maknúnih or The Hidden Words is a book written in Baghdad around 1857 by Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith. This work is written partly in Arabic and partly in Persian. The Hidden Words is written in the form of a collection of short utterances, 71 in Arabic and 82 in Persian, in which Bahá'u'lláh claims to have taken the basic essence of certain spiritual truths and written them in brief form. Bahá'ís are advised by `Abdu'l-Bahá, the son of Bahá'u'lláh to read them every day and every night and to implement its latent wisdom into their daily lives. He also said that The Hidden Words is a treasury of divine mysteries" and that when one ponders its contents, "the doors of the mysteries will open."

    As endearing as it is humorous, this debut middle grade novel by Jess Callans is a tender, queer coming of age story about the courage it takes to find your own voice and choosing to just be.  
      
    Puberty, AKA the ultimate biological predator, is driving a wedge between soon-to-be 13 year old Ollie Thompson and their lifelong friends. Too much of a girl for their neighborhood hockey team, but not girly enough for their boy-crazed BFF, Ollie doesn’t know where they fit. And their usual ability to camouflage? Woefully disrupted. 
      
    When a school project asks them to write an essay on what it means to be a woman (if anyone’s got an answer, that’d be great), and one of their new friends is the target of bullying, Ollie is caught between the safety of fleeing from their own differences or confronting the risks of fighting to take their own path forward. 
      
    "Debut author Callans’ confiding tone leans into Ollie’s flummoxed first-person ruminations with rhetorical questions that probe moments of deep vulnerability and hope. … Clear echoes of Judy Blume couple with themes of social adaptation that rely a bit heavily on analogies to the animal kingdom, but a range of readers should relate to Ollie’s sense of otherness. As Ollie puts it, 'Being yourself can hurt,' but awkward and self-aware stories like Ollie’s can help more tweens 'just be.'"—Booklist, starred review
