Summary

The Honourable Ratts are a distinguished family whose ancestors 
appeared at a time when witches were commonplace and giants roamed the 
land. They built their ancestral home, Clawfoot Hall, and they began 
collecting the Great Ratt Hoard - that is, any and every item of gold 
they could lay their hands on. 
 
 
 
At the time of this story, the Ratts are diminished in size and stature 
and now live under the floorboards of Clawfoot Hall. Then one day, 
everything changes. The ancient enemies of the Ratts have tracked them 
down and they are looking for ... the Great Ratt Hoard. The future of 
the Ratts is at stake. They must protect their inheritance at all costs. 
 
 
 
This is an exciting and action-packed story of the unusual, rodent-like 
family and their search for treasure with villains on their trail.
Available since: 12/04/2012.

  • The Varieties of Religious Experience - A Study in Human Nature - cover

    The Varieties of Religious...

    "The Varieties of Religious Experience is a generous and endlessly insightful book about human nature." — The New York Times
    
    "The most notable of all books in the field of the psychology of religion and probably destined to be the most influential book written on religion in the 20th century." — Psychology today
    
    
    Published in 1902 and quickly established itself as a classic, this book is a work that opens a new era of thinking. The study made by William James brings us a new definition of the word Religion which "shall mean for us the feelings, acts, and experiences of individual men in their solitude, so far as they apprehend themselves to stand in relation to whatever they may consider the divine." Therefore, a religious experience appears to be a subjective experience which is interpreted within a religious framework.
    
    This book is fully annotated by the author (more than 300 footnotes) and contains a short biography.
