Walden and On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience By Henry David Thoreau Walden (first published as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) is an American book written by noted transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and manual for self-reliance. First published in 1854, it details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. The book compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development. [mehr]

This Book Does Not Demand Continuous Reading; But At Whatever Place One Opens It, One Will Find Matter For Reflection. The Most Useful Books Are Those Of Which Readers Themselves Compose Half; They Extend The Thoughts Of Which The Germ Is Presented To Them; They Correct What Seems Defective To Them, And They Fortify By Their Reflections What Seems To Them Weak. It Is Only Really By Enlightened People That This Book Can Be Read; The Ordinary Man Is Not Made For Such Knowledge; Philosophy Will Never Be His Lot. Those Who Say That There Are Truths Which Must Be Hidden From The People, Need Not Be Alarmed; The People Do Not Read; They Work Six Days Of The Week, And On The Seventh Go To The Inn. In A Word, Philosophical Works Are Made Only For Philosophers, And Every Honest Man Must Try To Be A Philosopher, Without Pluming Himself On Being One. [mehr]

I sit down to give you an undeniable proof of my considering your desires as indispensable orders. Ungracious then as the task may be, I shall recall to view those scandalous stages of my life, out of which I emerged, at length, to the enjoyment of every blessing in the power of love, health and fortune to bestow; whilst yet in the flower of youth, and not too late to employ the leisure afforded me by great ease and affluence, to cultivate an understanding, naturally not a despicable one, and which had, even amidst the whirl of loose pleasures I had been tossed in, exerted more observation on the characters and manners of the world than what is common to those of my unhappy profession, who, looking on all though or reflection as their capital enemy, keep it at as great a distance as they can, or destroy it without mercy.

There Were Omissions Of Importance In the Former Narration Of My Life. I Willingly Comply With Your Desire, In giving you A More Circumstantial Relation; Though The Labor Seems Rather Painful, As I Cannot Use Much Study Or Reflection. My Earnest Wish Is To Paint In True Colors The Goodness Of God To Me, And The Depth Of My Own Ingratitude--But It Is Impossible, As Numberless Little Circumstances Have Escaped my Memory. You Are Also Unwilling i Should Give You A Minute Account Of My Sins. I Shall, However, Try To Leave Out As Few Faults As Possible. I Depend On You To Destroy It, When Your Soul Hath Drawn Those Spiritual Advantages Which God Intended, And For Which Purpose I Am Willing to Sacrifice All Things. I Am Fully Persuaded of His Designs Toward You, As Well For The Sanctification Of Others, As For Your Own Sanctification. [mehr]

In The Afternoon A Day Later, Leila, Making Her Escape From Her Aunt's Busy Collections, Slipped Away Into The Woods Alone. The Solitude Of The Early Woodland Days Of Summer Were What She Needed, And The Chance They Gave For Such Tranquil Reflection As The Disturbance And Restless State Of Her Home Just Now Made It Rarely Possible To Secure. She Tried To Put Aside Her Increasing Anxiety About Her Uncle And Had More Difficulty In Dealing With John Penhallow And His Over-Quiet Friendliness. She Thought Too Of Her Own Coldly-Worded Letters And Of The Suffering Of Which She Had Been Kept So Long Ignorant. He Had Loved Her Once; Did He Now? She Was Annoyed To Hear The Voice Of Mark Rivers.

Those Who Have But An Indifferent Banquet To Offer, Are Not Usually Inclined to Discourage Their Guests, By A Repulsive Bill Of Fare; Yet Surely, When A Public Invitation Is Given, There Is Honesty, And Prudence Too, In simply Stating the Kind Of Regale We Are Going to Spread, Lest A Palled and Sickly Appetite Should Expect Stimulants, Or A Perverted taste Should Pine For Foreign Luxuries And Modern Cookery, When We Have Nothing to Set Before Them But Plain Old English Food. Church And King now Look As Obsolete In a Publication, As Beef And Pudding would At A Gala Dinner; Yet Let Us Remember, That As The Latter Have Fed our Heroes From The Days Of Cressy And Agincourt To The Present Times, So The Former Have Fashioned minds Fit To Animate These Mighty Bodies. It Is Only To Those Who Have A Relish For Stern Virtue And Grave Reflection, That I Would Recommend The Following pages. [mehr]

In The Post-Maimonidean Age All Philosophical Thinking Is In The Nature Of A Commentary On Maimonides Whether Avowedly Or Not. The Circle Of Speculation And Reflection Is Complete. It Is Fixed By The "Guide Of The Perplexed," And The Efforts Of Those Who Followed Maimonides Are To Elaborate In His Spirit Certain Special Topics Which Are Treated In His Masterpiece In A Summary Way. In The Case Of The More Independent Thinkers Like Levi Ben Gerson We Find The Further Attempt To Carry Out More Boldly The Implications Of The Philosophical Point Of View, Which, As The Latter Thought, Maimonides Left Implicit By Reason Of His Predisposition In Favor Of Tradition. Hasdai Crescas Went Still Farther And Entirely Repudiated The Authority Of Aristotle, Substituting Will And Emotion For Rationalism And Logical Inference. Not Knowledge Of God As Logically Demonstrated Is The Highest Aim Of Man, But Love Of God. [mehr]

“H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.” –Stephen King “Lovecraft’s fiction is one of the cornerstones of modern horror.” –Clive Barker Some tales in this collection were inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, others he revised, two he co-authored–but all bear the mark of the master of primordial terror. The Horror in the Museum–Locked up for the night, a man will discover the difference between waxen grotesqueries and the real thing. The Electric Executioner–Aboard a train, a traveler must match wits with a murderous madman. The Trap–This mirror wants a great deal more than your reflection. The Ghost-Eater–In an ancient woodland, the past comes to life with a bone-crunching vengeance. [mehr]

Daddy's Little Girl is a reflection on how much of an impact our actions or lack of actions can affect others lives. It takes the reader on a journey of twin sisters named Nadia and DeNali, and their friend Moet. Much of who they are becoming stems from their childhoods. Innocence is lost in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, replaced with sex, money, and drugs. Perhaps getting to the root of the matter will turn their lives back around. Nadia decides to reconnect with their father, Anthony, who abandoned them as kids, but he isn't as excited about it. Sometimes we have to go through the pain to reach the euphoria on the other side. That is, if we don't wait until it's too late. Join Nadia, DeNali, and Moet as they search for who they are and who they want to become, all while struggling with the undeniable desire to be Daddy's Little Girl. [mehr]
