Summary

The saga of a Gilded Age mogul’s rise and fall, inspired by a real historical figure, from the author of An American Tragedy.   Inspired by the life of railway tycoon Charles Tyson Yerkes, these three novels weave a tale of American capitalism in the late nineteenth century. Included in this volume are:  The Financier: Ruthlessly ambitious businessman Frank Cowperwood finds his life derailed by the financial panic of 1873.  The Titan: Cowperwood leaves prison and heads to Chicago to regain his fortune—but his past follows close behind him.  The Stoic: In London, Cowperwood pursues the opportunity to make a fortune from a new underground railway system, while facing hard truths about the life he has lived and the fate that lies ahead.  Praise for the Trilogy of Desire   “An amazingly intricate description of high-rolling 19th-century finance.”—The Wall Street Journal

    Stewart Edward White wrote fiction and non-fiction about adventure and travel, with an emphasis on natural history and outdoor living. White's books were popular at a time when America was losing its vanishing wilderness and many are based on his experiences in mining and lumber camps. The Blazed Trail is the story of early lumbermen in the northern woods of Michigan. The novel portrays the challenges faced by the workers focusing on one, Harry Thorpe, as he endeavors to be successful though completely unskilled when he enters the woods. The author mixes the splendor of nature with suspense, danger, and romance and provides glimpses into corrupt practices in the lumber industry at the time. (Summary by Tom Weiss)

    From the New York Times bestselling author of Sarah's Key and A Secret Kept comes an absorbing new novel about one woman's resistance during an époque that shook Paris to its very core. 
    Paris, France: 1860's. Hundreds of houses are being razed, whole neighborhoods reduced to ashes. By order of Emperor Napoleon III, Baron Haussman has set into motion a series of large-scale renovations that will permanently alter the face of old Paris, moulding it into a "modern city." The reforms will erase generations of history—but in the midst of the tumult, one woman will take a stand. 
     Rose Bazelet is determined to fight against the destruction of her family home until the very end; as others flee, she stakes her claim in the basement of the old house on rue Childebert, ignoring the sounds of change that come closer and closer each day. Attempting to overcome the loneliness of her daily life, she begins to write letters to Armand, her beloved late husband. And as she delves into the ritual of remembering, Rose is forced to come to terms with a secret that has been buried deep in her heart for thirty years. Tatiana de Rosnay's The House I Loved is both a poignant story of one woman's indelible strength, and an ode to Paris, where houses harbor the joys and sorrows of their inhabitants, and secrets endure in the very walls...A Macmillan Audio production.

    Some studies report that the average person experiences about 60,000 thoughts a day and eighty percent of them are negative in nature.  Journey’s fictional stories, embedded in Jewish and Roman history, are intended to help flip your script inside a new angle on an old story.   Listen with a fresh ear to Father’s voice through the Spirit’s power coming from Jesus’ mouth.    The classic hero’s journey is shaped like a checkmark—medium to low and high at the end.  Stories in this third volume of four in Jesus’ Silent Years are at the bottom of the checkmark.   These low points are the furnace that shaped his character more than any of the other books in this novel series.  Spoiler alert—Jesus is imprisoned, abused by willful excess and absence, and depressed.  This Son of Man is tempted and tried in all points as we are.  Embedded in these old stories is a training manual for how to live wisely in today’s world regardless of your faith, or lack of it.
