Sinossi

In "Bluff Crag; or, A Good Word Costs Nothing," George Mrs. Cupples presents a rich tapestry of human emotion and moral dilemmas set against the backdrop of rural life in 19th-century Britain. The narrative intricately weaves themes of kindness, community, and the often-overlooked power of a simple positive word. Cupples employs a vivid literary style, characterized by a balance of realism and sentimentality, which reflects the era's emphasis on character-driven plots and moral instruction. This book provides an insightful window into Victorian values, exploring the subtleties of social interaction and the profound impact of empathy in fostering human connection. George Mrs. Cupples was a noted writer and editor, whose experiences as an author were deeply influenced by her surroundings and social milieu. She possessed a keen awareness of the struggles faced by individuals in society, particularly women, and this perspective shines through in her work. Cupples's ability to convey complex emotions in a relatable manner likely stems from her own life experiences and her commitment to addressing social issues through literature. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in Victorian literature, social commentary, and the exploration of human relationships. It serves as both an engaging narrative and a thoughtful reflection on the importance of kindness, making it a valuable addition to any literary collection.

    "If a person hears about, glorifies, meditates upon, worships, or simply offers great respect to the Supreme Lord Krishna, who is situated within the heart, the Lord will remove from his mind the contamination accumulated during many thousands of lifetimes." A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Krishna - the name itself is somehow transcendental and evokes a certain distant familiarity and evocative longing. In fact, it is said the name of Krishna is non-different from Himself. The ancient Vedic Scriptures also confirm that Krishna, as the Supreme Personality Of Godhead, is therefore present in the sound vibration of His holy name. If Krishna's name, and indeed Sanskrit itself, has this non-dual nature wherein that which is named and the name is one and the same, then the aspiring devotional yogi, can, by simply chanting Krishna's name, either by itself or via the iconic Maha Mantra: HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE actually associate eternally with the Lord via this unique transcendental sound vibration. This has been the way of Bhakti Yoga in the Vaishnava tradition for over five thousand years. To further extrapolate this mystical ideal, it is said by sages everything relating to Sri Sri Radha Krishna has the same liberating potency including Their transcendental pastimes on this earth in Their many forms. This inspirational, devotional, entertaining, one of a kind, genuinely mystical audiobook presents Bhagavan Sri Krishna in his many alluring and mystifying incarnations (known as Das Avatar) accompanied by an amazing production of sound effects, music, and other talented performers which help tell these ancient fascinating tales so well.

    Title: The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar 
    Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1845 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 48 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most macabre and unsettling tales — a dark blend of science, mesmerism, and the boundaries of death itself. 
    Told in the clinical yet horrified voice of a mesmerist, the story recounts an experiment performed on a dying man — one meant to test whether the human spirit can be held between life and death by hypnosis. What follows is a grotesque and unforgettable account of suspended mortality, decomposition, and the terrible price of curiosity. 
    A masterpiece of Gothic horror and proto-science fiction, Poe’s tale remains as shocking today as it was in 1845 — a story that anticipates both modern medical ethics and the existential terror of consciousness trapped beyond the grave. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance channels Poe’s eerie precision and the suffocating dread of the impossible made real. While the text is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the masters of the macabre and uncanny, The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar endures as one of Poe’s most chilling studies in the unnatural stillness between death and decay — where science dares to trespass upon the soul.

Chesterton, tugs on human hearts “with a twitch upon the thread.” Lodged between two world wars and burdened by the stark collapse of culture, Charles Ryder comes face to face with the perils of sin and confronts the inescapable yearnings of faith.
