Sinopse

- 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.

    Volume Nine of the True Crime Case Histories Series (2022) 
    Fans Love This Series—Over 7,000 Five-Star Ratings 
    If you’re a fan of true crime, you’re undoubtedly familiar with the big-name cases: Ted Bundy, BTK, David Berkowitz, Christopher Watts, Diane Downs, Casey Anthony, Jeffrey Dahmer, Jodi Arias, Ed Gein, etc. The list of well-known, notorious cases throughout history is seemingly endless. Books, websites, podcasts, streaming television series, and magazines are filled with their abhorrent tales of mayhem. They’re some of the most foul killers the world has ever known. 
    In my books, I do my best to find stories you may not have heard of. To do this, I count on my audience to send me stories that may have gone forgotten and aren't found all over the internet. 
    Several submitted stories found in this volume, including the story of five-year-old Stephanie Hebert, who walked only three houses down her quiet suburban sidewalk and disappeared forever. Her case went cold for 40 years before other children from her neighborhood came forward in their adulthood with information leading to the killer. 
    In this volume, you’ll find 12 assorted true crime stories ranging in date from the 1950s to 2020. 
    There’s the story of the sadistic mother who viewed her children only as the spawn of their demon father, torturing them for their entire short lives. 
    You’ll also hear of the deranged husband and wife team who started their own cult and made it their life’s mission to rid the world of witches. 
    Another story tells the disheartening tale of a toddler’s skeleton found in a suitcase on the side of the road. Motorcyclists discovered her mother’s skeleton more than 600 miles away. Five years had passed, with no one even realizing they were missing. 
    Plus many more disturbing stories.

    This is a concise summary and analysis of Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor E. Frankl. It is not the original book and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Viktor E. Frankl. Ideal for those seeking a quick and insightful overview.
     
    "Man's Search for Meaning" is a profound memoir, which details his experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. The book presents his theory of logotherapy, which is based on the idea that human primary drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what he calls "meaning." The author argues that even in the most inhumane and degrading circumstances, individuals can choose their response to any set of conditions, thus asserting a will to meaning. The narrative is not only a testament to the suffering of Holocaust survivors but also a guide to finding significance in all forms of existence, particularly in suffering and death.

    Barry Eric Odell Pain was born at 3 Sydney Street in Cambridge on 28th September 1864. He was one of 4 children. 
    He was educated at Sedbergh School and then Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. 
    In 1889, Cornhill Magazine published his short story ‘The Hundred Gates’.  This opened the way for Pain to advance his literary career on several fronts. He became a contributor to Punch and The Speaker, as well as joining the staff of both the Daily Chronicle and Black and White.  
    Pain was also a noted and prominent contributor to The Granta and from 1896 to 1928 a regular contributor to the Windsor Magazine. 
    It is often said that Pain was discovered by Robert Louis Stevenson, who compared his work to that of Guy de Maupassant.  It’s an apt comparison. Pain was a master of disturbing prose but was also able to inject parody and light comedy into many of his works.  A simple premise could in his hands suddenly expand into a world very real but somehow emotionally fraught and on the very edge of darkness. 
    Barry Pain died on 5th May 1928 in Bushey, Hertfordshire.

    Many of us are cautious around dogs.  However friendly they seem their energy and open panting jaws seem to summon some primitive instinct within us to be aware. 
     
    Once we advance to wolves those fears become rather more persuasive. Their wild and seemingly vicious, determined natures can induce panic in even the most foolhardy of us.  Nature admires winners. 
     
    From there it is but a short step to the supernatural evil of Werewolves.  Now fear is definitely the thing we feel pulsing through our veins summoning a flight response.  But no matter what our hopes are werewolves, whether real or in the imaginations of this cast of chilling unrepentant authors, stroke knowing chords of terror into every sentence, as the pages turn our uneasiness begins to escalate.  Terror begins to track our every step.   
     
    With such literary craftsmen as Saki, Hugh Walpole, Ambrose Bierce, Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle and others, that feeling happens time and time again.
