The Little Pilgrim: Further Experiences - Stories of the Seen and the Unseen

Mrs. Oliphant

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "The Little Pilgrim: Further Experiences," Mrs. Oliphant continues her exploration of spiritual themes through the lens of allegory, focusing on the journey of a young protagonist as she navigates the challenges and trials of life. Written in a reflective prose that marries the simplicity of a fairy tale with the depth of philosophical inquiry, this work exemplifies the Victorian era's fascination with spirituality, offering readers rich allegorical content that critiques societal norms while delving into concepts of faith and personal growth. Mrs. Margaret Oliphant, a prominent Scottish author of the 19th century, drew on her own experiences with loss and resilience when crafting this narrative. Often reflecting on her struggles as a widow and her professional challenges in a predominantly male literary world, Oliphant's works frequently grapple with notions of morality, gender, and the spiritual dimensions of the human experience. Her extensive body of work, including novels, short stories, and critical essays, positions her as a significant voice in Victorian literature, one who combines personal insight with broader cultural commentary. "The Little Pilgrim: Further Experiences" is highly recommended for readers interested in Victorian literature, allegorical narratives, or spiritual journeys. Oliphant's nuanced approach encourages not only appreciation for the beauty of language and storytelling but also provokes introspection on the moral and spiritual choices we face in our own lives.

Antillus Stone

Eric Jones

Jake Stone was a recent college graduate who decided to move to New York City to pursue a career in Finance. Jake is man who is just one step away from being a regular guy, except for his uncanny knack for finding himself in the heart of trouble. When fate tosses him between the fierce agendas of the Mob and the FBI, Jake's life takes a turn that's anything but ordinary. 
The Mob and the FBI both have a genuine interest in having Jake as an ally. Their competing agendas are not exactly what Jake envision for his life. Their influence is so outside of ordinary, that the lines between hero and villain get distorted amid the bustling background of New York City. 
Antillus Stone is a story characterized with constant twists and a deep dive into the souls of its characters. Each page invites you to ponder the nature of right and wrong and what it means to be family. The author will plot an entertaining course that leads to an explosive conclusion where Jake must rise to save the day. I appreciate your time in exploring this journey with me and I hope that your time is well spent.
