Synopsis

- This edition is unique;- The translation is completely original and was carried out for the Ale. Mar. SAS;- All rights reserved.The Biography of Satan is a book by Kersey Graves, first published in 1879. In this provocative work, Graves explores the historical, mythological, and theological origins of the figure known as Satan, arguing that the concept evolved through the interplay of ancient mythologies, cultural superstition, and ecclesiastical authority. Drawing on comparative religion and early history, he presents Satan not as an independent supernatural being, but as a construct shaped by religious power and fear. Graves places the blame for the persistence of the Devil myth squarely on the institutions that benefited from maintaining belief in eternal punishment and moral dualism. This work reflects the 19th-century freethought movement's skepticism toward orthodox Christianity, particularly its more fear-based doctrines. As with his better-known book The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors, Graves challenges traditional dogma and urges readers to question inherited beliefs. The book remains a bold and controversial critique of religious literalism, appealing to readers interested in the intersection of mythology, philosophy, and historical inquiry.

    Everything in author David Winkler’s life reads like a “Once Upon a Time in Beverly Hills” fairytale. A film producer of titles such as the Creed franchise, the fifty-three-year-old sits on the top tier of his profession, enjoys a wonderful relationship with his two children, and even gets along famously with his ex-wife. But seeking to avoid the drama and disappointment of dating and with his belief in “radical honesty” and ethical non-monogamy, David reasons a shortcut through modern courtship: he becomes a sugar daddy. Using a website that connects successful older men with younger women for romantic/financial relationships, David meets Jordan, a beautiful Instagram model and influencer who harbors dreams of launching her acting career in Los Angeles. After the relationship begins magically, shadows begin to form and dark secrets take their toll. In the jaw-dropping tradition of Californication and Valley of the Dolls, The Arrangement takes us down the Hollywood rabbit hole of sex, power, and money, leaving readers in delightful disbelief…because it’s all true.

    The Top Ten -  Saki - An Introduction 
     
    The name H H Munro is obscured beneath the literary mantle of his nom de plume; Saki.  A writer of his times, the stories perfectly portray society’s whims and tastes in a delicate yet at times, barbed humour.  A divine wit who conjured words into quite extraordinary works. 
     
    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

    Cocaine Cowboys tells the story of Ireland's love affair with cocaine since it first washed ashore on Cork's rugged coast to the billion-euro trade it has become. From Ireland's first cocaine lord and his attempts to establish a direct route from Miami to Dublin, to the modern-day violence that led to the brutal dismemberment of teenager Keane Mulready Woods, the book will follow the stories and the increasing chaos that has engulfed those desperate for a slice of this modern day gold rush. Along the way it details how cocaine has woven bonds between high society and the underworld, tracing the deal that killed the model Katy French and detailing how the Kinahan Cartel and Ireland's one time richest and most influential family joined forces to wash dirty money. Cocaine Cowboys is the definitive tale of the rise of Colombia's most famous export to become the drug of a nation. 
     
    Contains mature themes.
