Sinopsis

In "The Passing of the Great Queen: A Tribute to the Noble Life of Victoria Regina," Marie Corelli offers a poignant and heartfelt reflection on the life and reign of Queen Victoria, who was a symbol of an era marked by profound change. Written in Corelli's signature lyrical style, the text intertwines personal anecdotes, historical context, and spiritual insights, capturing the emotional landscape of a nation in mourning. As a contemporary of Victoria, Corelli's work reflects literary influences of the late Victorian age, blending sentimentalism with a deep reverence for the past, indicative of Corelli's own penchant for romanticizing her subjects. Marie Corelli, a prolific author and a notable figure in Victorian literature, was known for her unconventional views on society, spirituality, and the role of women. Her admiration for Queen Victoria is evident throughout the text, as Corelli saw the Queen as a paragon of virtue and resilience during a time of upheaval. Corelli's own life experiences, from her struggles with acceptance in literary circles to her passionate advocacy for social causes, infuse her tribute with a unique blend of personal sentiment and national pride. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in Victorian history, royal legacy, or Corelli'Äôs distinct literary voice. It serves as both a historical document and a moving homage, making it a vital addition to the library of those who appreciate the intricacies of human experience against the backdrop of societal evolution.

    A beautiful final note from the pioneering author of the classic Notes to Myself 
     
     
     
    Gently Down This Dream is a book for those who are tired of striving and suffering and want to awaken to the peace and love that are within us all. When bestselling author Hugh Prather completed this book in 2010, he gave it to his wife and writing partner, Gayle, to shape and edit. He died the next day. The book's essays, poems, and aphorisms—bravely self-revelatory, relentlessly compassionate, and born out of a lifetime of contemplative practice and counseling work—make for a lovely, and loving, PS to his millions of fans and a winning introduction to his beautiful mind for new fans to come. They present the self-improvement practices that Hugh and Gayle learned in their long life together and later taught. The Prathers' authentic humor, comfort, and spiritual insights are perfect for the divisive times we live in, offering a way through what can often seem the prison of the self, a reliable means for navigating a world that sometimes feels out of control, and a path to love.
