Sacred Wisdom to Enrich Your Life. This oracle is based on the ancient Kabbalistic map of creation that dates back at least a thousand years in the Jewish mystery tradition. The Tree of Life is a sacred symbol in many cultures of the world, but here it is used as a path to knowledge linking the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet with the twenty-two paths of the Tree of Life and the astrological houses. Each resulting word forms a rich and powerful wheel symbol that reflects a segment of the tree, depicted on a card in the oracle deck. Follow the reading sheet to lay the cards in the zigzag line of creation, and ... |

Знаменитото произведение на Кнут Хамсун Мистерии (1892), считано от критиката не само в скандинавските страни за първия модерен роман в европейската литература. Основания за подобно определение дават свободната структура на творбата, пространните вътрешни монолози на нейния главен герой, глъбинният психологизъм при обрисуване на персонажите, богатите асоциации и внушения, преплетени майсторски от Хамсун в сложната му тъкан. Въздействието си романът дължи и на северната екзотика, която нюансира и допълва сюжета: белите нощи, мистичната роля на природата и особено на гората и морето, краткотрайното лято, отлитащо като ... |

This collection of Poe's work contains some of the most exciting and haunting stories ever written. They range from the poetic to the mysterious to the darkly comic, yet all possess the genius for the grotesque that defines Poe's writing. They are peopled with neurotics and social outcasts, obsessed with nameless terrors or preoccupied with seemingly unsolvable mysteries. "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" are key works in the horror canon, while in the "The Murders ... |

There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117, Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Everyday in the summer of 1974 twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson takes the stairs, which are held by strong (if time-rusted) iron bolts and zig-zag up the cliff side. One day, while Gwendy catches her breath and listens to the shouts of the kids on the playground and the chink of an aluminium bat hitting a baseball, a stranger calls out to her. On a bench in ... |
