Synopsis

In "Joan and Peter - The Story of an Education," H.G. Wells explores the intricate interplay of individual growth and societal expectations through the lives of two young protagonists. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Britain, Wells employs a vivid narrative style that intertwines realism with insightful psychological depth, capturing the challenges of education, personal development, and the tension between ambition and conformity. The novel delineates the characters' quest for identity, articulating the philosophical debates of the time and reflecting Wells's commitment to social critique, particularly regarding the rigid structures of the educational system. H.G. Wells, a prominent thinker of his era and a pioneering science fiction writer, drew upon his own experiences as an educator in crafting this narrative. His background in social reform and keen observations of class disparities informed the characters' struggles, making this work not merely a coming-of-age story, but also a commentary on the broader societal norms governing education and opportunity. Wells's own educational journey and ideological concerns provide a rich context that enhances the narrative's emotive power. "Joan and Peter" is highly recommended for readers interested in literature that challenges societal norms while exploring the complexities of personal growth. Its blend of engaging storytelling and philosophical reflection offers profound insights into the struggles faced by individuals within prescribed societal frameworks, making it a timeless and thought-provoking read.

    The history of the tablets translated in the following pages is strange and beyond modern scientists' comprehension. Their age is astounding, dating back 36,000 years B.C. Thoth is an Atlantean Priest-King who established a colony in ancient Egypt after the mother country was sunk. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which has been incorrectly attributed to Cheops. He included his knowledge of ancient wisdom as well as securely hidden records and instruments from ancient Atlantis. 
    From approximately 50,000 B.C. to 36.000 B.C., he ruled the ancient race of Egypt for approximately 16,000 years. The ancient barbarous race among which he and his followers had settled had advanced to a high level of civilization at the time. Thoth was immortal, that is, he had defeated death, passing only when he wished and not through death. His vast knowledge elevated him to the throne of the various Atlantean colonies, including those in South and Central America. 
    When the time came for him to leave Egypt, he built the Great Pyramid over the entrance to the Great Halls of Amenti, placed his records inside, and appointed guards from among the highest of his people to guard his secrets. The descendants of these guards later became the pyramid priests, through whom Thoth was deified as the God of Wisdom, The Recorder, by those living in the age of darkness that followed his death. The halls of Amenti were transformed into the underworld, the Halls of the Gods, where the soul passed after death for judgment. 
    The ego of Thoth passed into the bodies of men in later ages, as described in the tablets. As a result, he incarnated three times, the last time as Hermes, the thrice-born. In this incarnation, he left the Emerald Tablets, a later and far less complete exposition of the ancient mysteries.

    Father Charles Coughlin (October 25, 1891 - October 27, 1979), was a controversial Canadian-American Catholic priest based in Michigan. Calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor, Coughlin used weekly radio broadcasts to reach a mass audience of up to thirty million listeners during the 1930s. An early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Coughlin later became a harsh critic. Coughlin’s commentary also became more anti-semitic, and he supported some of the fascist policies of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito. As a result, many American Catholic leaders, as well as the Vatican, wanted Coughlin silenced. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Roosevelt administration finally forced the cancellation of his radio program and forbade the dissemination of his newspaper, Social Justice. In this recording, he warns about the lead up to World War II.
