The Red Knight of Germany
Baron Manfred von Richthofen, Germany's renowned First World War flying ace, was known as 'The Red Knight' or more the war as 'The Red Baron' due to the colour of his Albatros aeroplane. He was attributed with eighty 'kills' before losing his life inaction in 1918.Written by a remarkable war correspondent, Floyd Gibbons, shortly after the cessation of hostilities, The Red Knight is a fascinating insight into the life of this most ruthless and talented war pilot. Gibbons had access to extensive first-hand sources including personal letters from von Richthofen to his mother. He also interviewed airmen who had survived aerial combat with the uncompromising von Richthofen, who wrote before his death, 'I have not found a happier hunting ground than the Battle of The Somme'.He is widely hailed as the 'greatest fighter pilot who has ever lived' - Lord Ashcroft KCMG PC

The Plague Ditties
Jim Nisbet was an internationally known novelist, essayist, and poet whose groundbreaking noir fiction has cult followings in the U.S. and abroad. The poems collected here were written and distributed to his email list during the Covid- 19 pandemic. Like much of Nisbet's work, these poems are written in diction both stark and elevated, alternately tender, fierce, sweet, frightening - and always keenly aware of human frailty in the face of the unknown. Informed both by classical tradition and the immediate circumstances of the pandemic, these poems deal in matters political, spiritual, and cultural - but ultimately take the shape of an increasingly personal encounter with the phantasms of the pandemic. Taken together, The Plague Ditties form a poetic diary of uncommon artistic, historic, and metaphysical resonance.
Love Gratitude
Love Gratitude (1952) is a collection of two essays by Joel S. Goldsmith, a mystical teacher, spiritual healer, and writer. Goldsmith was the creator of a set of principles called "The Infinite Way," which taught that man's nature was to be one with God and to express His infinite power and love.Joel S. Goldsmith (b. 1982, d. 1964) was born in New York City to non-practicing Jewish parents. He began his career as an apprentice in his father's import business, which gave him the opportunity to travel extensively. The great poverty and suffering that he encountered throughout the world, along with the horrors of war that he experienced as a Marine during World War I, set him on a search for universal truth. He began to study spiritual texts, including those of ancient Greece, Southeast Asia, and Aramaic-speaking cultures.While returning home from an international trip in the 1920s, Goldsmith contracted pneumonia on the ocean crossing. A Christian Science practitioner among the other passengers is said to have healed him. Soon after, Goldsmith found strangers approaching him on the street, asking for healing and prayer, which he was able to provide. Goldsmith turned to the Christian Science Church for explanations about this new healing ability. He remained with the church for 16 years but eventually grew disillusioned with organized religion. After leaving Christian Science, Goldsmith began writing his own thoughts and developing his spiritual philosophy. But even as his books grew in popularity, he resisted any attempts to organize his views into a formal religion, which he felt would obscure the original meaning of his spiritual message. This work is a compilation of two of Goldsmith's essays, titled Love and Gratitude. Through seven short sections, Love explores how love flows around us and through us. We can "Open the avenues of Love through each other by not looking to each other for it but by looking to God for it." When we expect something in return for an expression of love, we demonstrate only human love, a poor facsimile of the real thing. But when we expect no return for the outpouring of our love, when we accept that "whatever of Love you express is God expressing Itself and so you need not expect a return from it, from that time you enter an entirely new consciousness of life..."The second essay, Gratitude, teaches that gratitude, like love, is "God expressing Itself through man as man." Goldsmith argues that it is impossible to express gratitude "without expressing some degree of God while you are BEING grateful, for Gratitude is of God...not of man."We often think of gratitude as feeling appreciation for benefits or blessings. But as gratitude is not of man, "Gratitude is really a form of God activity or God expression. It is, therefore, true that ONLY God can express Love...ONLY God can express Gratitude. We can only be the vehicles through which God pours Itself as Love or as Gratitude." Gratitude is said to have been a divine message that was delivered directly to Goldsmith. The principles taught in Love, Gratitude are part of Goldsmith's "Infinite Way," his spiritual and religious philosophy. While he wrote several books on the subject, there is still no organization or formal structure surrounding his teachings, in keeping with his wishes.

Concerning Christian Liberty
Luther first focuses on the freedom of the inner man, "that we may see by what means a man becomes justified, free, and a true Christian; that is, a spiritual, new, and inward man." The soul's freedom is not tied to external factors that affect the body, for "what harm can ill health, bondage, hunger, thirst, or any other outward evil do to the soul?" Instead, "one thing, and one alone, is necessary for life, justification, and Christian liberty, and that is the most holy word of God, the gospel of Christ.

Mademoiselle Fifi and Other Stories
b'It was raining as it only rains in Normandy, as though great gouts of water were being sprayed by some angry, giant hand.'/b Maupassant believed that we delude ourselves into believing that we are not animals acting upon instinct but rational creatures capable of idealistic beliefs and actions and survive only on the drug of self-deception. Maupassant's disgust with creation was only equalled by his contempt for human hypocrisy, and in these tales he takes a scalpel to our illusions and cuts to the bone. But his clinical pessimism is redeemed by a sense of the absurd and a warmer compassion for 'humanity bleeding'. Unsentimental but always honest, he persuades us that life is an incomprehensible, cosmic farce. This translation of twenty tales shows Maupassant at his bitter, bawdy, chilling best. It features some of his grimmest and most famous stories such as A Vendetta and The Grove of Olives, and it also reflects both his moods and his mastery of the short story. The Little Keg is rich in comic invention, while the disturbing Who Can Tell? draws its power from the strange forces which drove its author into madness. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

But after sparring with her, Silas' father, Jake, realizes Noelle is just what he and his family need, and when she finds the perfect Christmas star for Silas, they both know he's right.

The power of love and the strength of women working together are proved once again.​​​​​​​When Lily Weaver is asked to help Alec Thurston, the one man she's ever truly loved, and to come to Palm Desert, California, she doesn't hesitate. He's dying of cancer and needs her help in overseeing the sale of his hotel, The Desert Sage Inn, to another hotel group. For five wonderful years, she was his assistant at the hotel until he kindly told her their relationship was getting too serious, and he helped her find other work. With her organizational skills and attention to detail, she's his perfect choice to oversee the details of the sale to help make a smooth transition while maintaining the reputation of the upscale property. Unappreciated in her job with a law firm in New York State, she's eager to leave it and the cold weather to head for the desert. Her only regret is leaving her sister and three-year-old niece behind. Lily arrives at Alec's house to find two other women summoned to help him. Rose Macklin was once the social director at Alec's hotel, and Willow Sanchez is like a daughter to him.

Disaster strikes them both as they're falling in love. Lily ends up having to raise her niece, and Brian is left with a son he never knew he had. It seems only natural that they turn to one another for help, and Lily wonders if this is as Alec might have planned all along.A series for those who love strong women coming together to help each other and someone they love.
