Sinossi

Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit and Some Miscellaneous Pieces" stands as a poignant exploration of consciousness and the metaphysical inquiries that permeate human experience. Written in a reflective, introspective style characteristic of Romantic literature, this collection showcases Coleridge's thoughtful prose and poetic fragments as he grapples with profound philosophical dilemmas. The work, steeped in the context of early 19th-century England, offers insight into the inner workings of a mind that seeks not only artistic inspiration but also a deeper understanding of existence, spirituality, and the nature of belief. Coleridge, a seminal figure in the Romantic movement, was profoundly influenced by his struggles with personal demons and a search for empathetic truths within the fabric of life. His philosophical writings often merge with the contemplative nature of his poetry, reflecting his experiences with opium and bouts of melancholy. These hardships fostered a relentless pursuit of wisdom and identity, culminating in the creation of this introspective masterpiece. This book is highly recommended for readers who seek more than mere literary enjoyment; it is an invitation to engage with Coleridge's quest for meaning. Scholars, students, and lovers of poetry alike will find in these pages an intricate tapestry of thought that resonates with the timeless human endeavor for self-understanding.

The Letter in the Bible - What...

Tessa Marie Vaughn

When Hannah Briggs returns home for her father’s funeral, she isn’t prepared to unearth a secret that shatters everything she thought she knew about him—and herself. Hidden within the pages of his worn Bible is a letter addressed to a woman named Eleanor, a name she’s never heard but somehow feels strangely connected to.
 
As she digs deeper into her father’s past, Hannah turns to Joshua, her childhood friend and a quiet bookbinder with his own unspoken feelings. Together, they piece together a love story lost to silence, regret, and time—one that forces Hannah to confront the fragile lines between memory and truth, faith and forgiveness.
 
But as long-buried emotions begin to rise and the bond between her and Joshua deepens, Hannah must decide if she's ready to open her heart—not only to her family's complicated legacy, but to a second chance she never saw coming.
 
Can love bloom in the aftermath of grief and uncertainty? Or will the truth she uncovers leave her even more lost than before?
