Sinossi

In "Is it I? A Book for Every Man," Horatio Robinson Storer delves into the profound psychological landscape of masculinity, self-examination, and moral integrity. A blend of personal reflection and philosophical inquiry, the book employs a succinct yet impactful literary style, utilizing evocative language to engage the reader both emotionally and intellectually. Storer'Äôs context emerges from the intellectual climate of the late 19th century, marked by evolving societal norms and the increasing call for personal accountability among men, challenging them to confront their weaknesses and aspirations. Horatio Robinson Storer, a prominent physician and social reformer, was heavily influenced by his medical practice and the medical ethics of his time, which often intersected with questions of morality and personal responsibility. His dedication to the betterment of society and understanding of the human condition fueled his desire to write this introspective work. Storer's engagement with contemporary debates about masculinity and ethics reflects his commitment to nurturing a more conscientious societal framework. This book is essential for readers seeking a deeper understanding of male identity and ethical responsibility. Its compelling narrative encourages introspection and self-awareness, making it a poignant read for anyone interested in the intersection of psychology and morality. Storer's insights remain relevant, inviting modern readers to reflect critically on their own lives in a rapidly transforming world.

    Orson Kincaid is a battle-hardened sniper for US Army Special Operations Command. During a demanding overseas assignment, his team gets compromised and overwhelmed. Wounded and on his own, Kincaid flees to a nearby village where two Mormon missionaries agree to hide him in their apartment while the enemy desperately searches for him. While hiding out, he learns more about the missionaries' faith, and his religious prejudices soon soften his heart toward Christianity in general and specifically toward the Mormon religion. Seeking a lifestyle change, Kincaid leaves the military, joins the LDS church, and gets hired by Church Security in Salt Lake City, hoping for a new and quiet career. Before long, a 
    domestic terrorist group identifies the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a soft or easy target and develops plans to attack a temple of the LDS church and kill several highly placed church leaders. Kincaid discovers he alone has the counter-terrorism experience necessary to protect his new religion. Determined to thwart the terrorist plans, he is forced to muster skills to stop them, which he wanted to leave behind. Is it a coincidence that Kincaid is there at this time? Or is it the grace of God that has placed him there now to stop this threat to the church? After retiring 10 yrs. later, Kincaid is employed with the Mormon Church Security and is the only employee who has any experience dealing with terrorists. Before long, a warning is issued that a domestic terrorist group within Salt Lake City, Utah, desperately wants to be recognized as a threat to the world terrorist groups. They believe the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would make an excellent beginning to their reputation. They start developing plans to attack a temple of the LDS church and kill as many of its leaders as possible. Determined to keep them from destroying the embodiment of his new faith, he musters all of his past experience to stop the terrorists.

    New York, August 1896. A "hot wave" has settled on the city with no end in sight, leaving tempers short and the streets littered with dead horses felled by the heat. In this presidential election year, the gulf between rich and poor has political passions flaring, while anti-immigrant sentiment has turned virulent. At police headquarters, the gruff, politically ambitious commissioner Theodore Roosevelt has been struggling to reform his notoriously corrupt department. Meanwhile, the yellow press is ready to pounce on the peccadilloes of the Four Hundred, the city's social elite—the better to sell papers with lurid stories and gossip or perhaps profit from a little blackmail on the side. When the body of Town Topics publisher William d'Alton Mann is found at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, any number of his ink-spattered victims may have a motive. 
     
     
     
    Hot Time is an immensely entertaining, deeply researched, and richly textured historical novel set in a period that reflects our own, with cameos by figures ranging from financier J. P. Morgan to journalist Jacob Riis. Our guides through New York are Otto "Rafe" Raphael, one of the first Jewish officers in the heavily Irish force; Minnie Kelly, the department's first female stenographer; Theodore Roosevelt himself; and the plucky orphan Dutch, one of the city's thousands of newsboys, who may have seen too much.

    The Festival

    H. P. Lovecraft

    "The Festival" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft written in October 1923 and published in the January 1925 issue of Weird Tales. The story was inspired by Lovecraft's first trip to Marblehead, Massachusetts, in December 1922. Lovecraft later called that visit "the most powerful single emotional climax experienced during my nearly forty years of existence." In a flash all the past of New England—all the past of Old England—all the past of Anglo-Saxondom and the Western World--swept over me and identified me with the stupendous totality of all things in such a way as it never did before and never did again. That was the high tide of my life. The narrator's path through Kingsport corresponds to a route to the center of Marblehead; the house with the overhanging second story is probably based on Marblehead's 1 Mugford Street. The church in the story is St. Michael's Episcopal Church on Frog Lane. Built in 1714, it is the oldest Anglican church in New England that is still standing at its original site. The church is on a modest hill; for most of the 18th century, it had a steeple. Its crypt, where parishioners were interred, remains. Since Lovecraft visited the church (as evidenced by his signature in the guest register), he may have spoken with the rector and learned such details about the church.
