Beschreibung

R. D. Blackmore's "Erema; Or, My Father's Sin" is a compelling novel that intricately weaves themes of identity, morality, and the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of rural England. Written in a rich, descriptive prose typical of the Victorian era, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of a young woman grappling with the weight of her father's past sins. Blackmore's narrative style is notable for its picturesque detail and emotional depth, drawing readers into the intricate life of Erema and the societal constraints she faces. The book stands as a poignant exploration of redemption, as Erema seeks to reconcile her father's legacy with her own quest for autonomy and self-discovery. R. D. Blackmore, best known for his earlier work "Lorna Doone," infuses his storytelling with elements from his own life experiences, including his deep connection to the Devonshire landscape and keen insight into human nature. A master of character development, Blackmore channels the societal mores of his time, reflecting his critical viewpoint on family, duty, and the struggle against inherited sin. His engagement with these themes may well speak to his personal values and the societal dynamics of the 19th century. "Erema; Or, My Father's Sin" is not merely a novel but a profound examination of the human condition that resonates with contemporary readers. Its exploration of the interplay between past and present makes it an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the depths of moral conflict and the quest for individual identity. This novel is recommended for lovers of richly layered literature that probes the psychological depths of its characters.

    Described by the author, best known for his King Solomon's Mines, as "a tale of victorious faith," this story begins on a Sunday afternoon in an English church. Most of the book, though, is set in Africa, and the adventure story is as engaging as any of Haggard's African tales. What makes this one different is the religious question: What has happened to miracles in the church? Is there any power left in Jesus' promise, "Whoso that believeth in me, the works that I do he shall do also, and whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do"?

    There is something about the number 3.    
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
