tukykune Capital, John Lanchester , 2012, 057128048X, 9780571280483. From the bestselling author of Whoops! and The Debt to Pleasure comes a post-financial crisis, state-of-the-nation novel told with compassion, humour and unflinching truth. Featuring a contemporary cast of characters that crosses race, class and religion, Capital is the moving and hugely topical story of one street caught on the brink of the crash.Capital: the City of London. Capital: money, currency, finance. Both are central to the multicultural micro-society living and working on Pepys Road-an ordinary street in the Capital. Formerly working class, the simple houses have seen a wave of gentrification and expensive renovations that have rendered them highly desirable, valuable real estate. Here lives Roger Yount, powerful investment banker daily trading risk against profit on the Foreign Exchange. An annual bonus of a million might seem excessive, but with second homes and nannies to maintain, he's not sure he can get by without it. Elsewhere on Pepys Road is the Muslim Pakistani family living above their convenience store, and a senior widow who entertains visits from her graffiti artist grandson. Recently arrived is Freddy Kano, teenage football celebrity, recruited from Senegal to join the Premier League, who left a two-room shack to follow his dream. Their stories intertwine with the immigrant workers who service the wealthy residents of the City: Zbigniew, the builder from Warsaw, catering to the super-rich in their interior decoration whims; the nanny who looks after Roger's two small boys while his well-groomed wife indulges her shopaholic tendencies; and traffic warden Quentina, who has exchanged the violence of the police in Zimbabwe for the violence of the enraged upper middle classes. For them all, this city offers the chance of a different kind of life.Each house has its own story and its own secrets, having seen its fair share of first steps and last breaths, and plenty of laughter in between. Today, through each letterbox along this ordinary street drops a card with a simple message: We Want What You Have. Readers who enjoy Dickens and Trollope and such contemporary books as Sebastian Faulks' A Week in December, will not want to miss out on this fast-paced, cosmopolitan social saga that Booklist calls "remarkably vibrant and engrossing".

Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own 'will to power' upon the world.

Three Temporal Kings: Nostradamus Prophecies of the Divine Plan, Michal Deschausses , 2009, 0983516332, 9780983516330. Each quatrain of the Centuries of Nostradamus relates an event specific to one of three Antichrists, and startling details are reinforced by vast historical research. This grand light shed on messages through the divine prophet makes the entire context of the verses comprehensible with a consistent theme that relays an important message about the proven past, the active present, and the near future of the world. This clarification of the enigmatic verse of Nostradamus is the most comprehensive bringing the first true understanding that each surface verse discusses one of three temporal kings, commonly known as Antichrists.What if an understanding of the past, present, and future with all certainty halted na ve debate?In an age of uncertainty about the future many people look to the wisdom of the prophets. This monumental effort stimulates not only mental and emotional well being but also spiritual health. People want to know how truth impacts survival in an uncertain world nearing the vastly misunderstood, prophesied year of 2012. The highest difficulty remains in determining truth.The past helps develop understanding of what led to current conditions. Without emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual elements to fulfill the record of history the wealth of our past and the understanding of our future remains impotent.Nostradamus, a divine prophet, focused on revealing the spiritual and material destiny of the world in order to prepare humankind for the future and reconnection to the Divine. His prophecies have been in print for approximately 500 years -- which is longer than any book except the Holy Bible. The prophecies of Nostradamus are biblically sound coinciding directly with the honored messages of biblical prophets from Abraham through the Apostle John. Each new generation of people has continued to pour over the verses of Nostradamus seeking higher truth and understanding.A critical new understanding reveals that Nostradamus prophesied and wrote specifically about three Antichrists reigning from the year 1700 - 2000 A.D. and beyond. Two of these Antichrists dominated the human race culminating spiritual forces into the Third Antichrist - the One who will fully incarnate the supernatural forces of Satan ultimately torturing humanity in the final war against God bringing the End of Days.From the AuthorNewscasters know the importance of the emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental aspects of life as they combine all of these qualities to make the news appealing to the masses. The recording of history has none of the reality of these combined elements that help us understand the fullness of life. Likewise, the writings of Nostradamus have never been fully understood because interpreters have not been able to incorporate true wisdom which is the ability to bring forth the divine message in the fullest emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental realities.

The Castle of Berry Pomeroy: A Novel, Edward Montague , 2007, 0979233259, 9780979233258. The Castle of Berry Pomeroy, reduced to ruins in the early 1700s, has long been recognised as one of the most haunted places in Britain. It is said that the ghost of Margaret Pomeroy, starved to death in a dungeon by her sister Eleanor, still inhabits the castle today. In "The Castle of Berry Pomeroy" (1806), Edward Montague adapts the legends surrounding the castle into a Gothic tale of horror, jealousy, and revenge. The Lady Elinor de Pomeroy, envious that her sister Matilda has won possession of the castle and the love of the handsome De Clifford, decides to have her murdered. She enlists the aid of Father Bertrand, one of the blackest villains ever to appear in a Gothic novel. But Matilda's death is just the beginning. Her spectre appears, bringing terror to Elinor and Bertrand, whose ambition and fear of discovery lead them to commit more and more murders. The body count rises and the horror increases, but will Matilda's spectre lead to the discovery and punishment of the villains? A cleverly told story and one of the few Gothic novels to achieve an authentically medieval atmosphere, "The Castle of Berry Pomeroy" was the first novel by Edward Montague ("The Demon of Sicily," "Legends of a Nunnery"). This new edition is the first since 1892. About the author Nothing is known of Edward Montague, aside from the fact that he wrote five books between 1805 and 1808, including three Gothic novels, the most notable of which are "The Castle of Berry Pomeroy" and "The Demon of Sicily." He may also be the author of two other Gothic novels, published in 1807-08 under the name "Edward Mortimer." Both names may well be pseudonyms. About the novel "The Castle of Berry Pomeroy" was first published in 1806 by William Lane's famous Minerva Press. Only two copies of the first edition survive in world libraries, one in the British Library, and the other in the Corvey Collection in Germany. This edition is newly typeset from the Corvey copy, allowing modern readers and collectors the opportunity to own a copy of this rare Gothic classic. Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke, Peter Guralnick , 2006, 0349119481, 9780349119489. One of the most influential African American singers/songwriters in the late 1950s, Sam Cooke was among the first to blend gospel music and secular themes - the early foundation of soul music. He was the opposite of Elvis: a black performer who appealed to white audiences, who wrote his own songs, who controlled his own business destiny. In Dream Boogie, bestselling author Peter Guralnick captures Sam Cooke's remarkable accomplishment and chronicles his moving and important story, from Cooke's childhood as a choirboy to an adulthood when he was anything but that.
