Osiris: God Of Egypt

Marcelo Hipólito

Sinopse

Ra, the Sun God, had the Universe at his command. He inherited the extreme power of his father, Atum, the deity that created itself. From Ra's incandescent rays are born his brother-children, from whom he takes the most graceful of beauties to wife - Nut, Goddess of the Sky. Nut, however, would be the harbinger of doom. Dominated by an irrepressible passion, she surrenders to Geb, the God of the Earth, also the brother-son of Ra. Taken by fury, Ra condemns Geb to eternal darkness. With the seclusion of Geb, the great protector of the land, the world becomes dark, a place of barbarism and chaos. Osiris is one of the children of Geb and Nut, cast into the desolate land, cursed to suffer in frail human form and taste the evils and pains of the flesh. But the misfortune of the lovers Nut and Geb would propitiate the coming of the Messiah, the noble Osiris, king of Egypt. In this adventure about the history of the first kingdom on Earth, Marcelo Hipólito rescues the legends and traditions of Ancient Egypt.

The Last Word

Samantha Hastings

Set against the smoky, gaslit allure of Victorian London, this sweetly romantic historical debut is full of humor and stars a whip-smart female heroine ahead of her time. 
 
 
 
Where one story ends, another begins. 
 
 
 
1861. Miss Lucinda Leavitt is shocked when she learns the author of her favorite serialized novel has died before completing the story. Determined to learn how it ends, Lucinda reluctantly enlists the help of her father's young business partner, Mr. David Randall, to track down the reclusive author's former whereabouts. 
 
 
 
David is a successful young businessman, but is overwhelmed by his workload. He wants to prove himself to his late father, as well as to himself. He doesn't have the time, nor the interest, for this endeavor, but Lucinda is not the type to take no for an answer. 
 
 
 
Their search for the elusive Mrs. Smith and the rightful ending to her novel leads Lucinda and David around the country, but the truths they discover about themselves—and each other—are anything but fictional.
