This is the story of Sam Small, a man from Yorkshire who wakes up one morning and decides that he can fly on his own two hands. So he does. This is for all those who know that dogs talk, Sundays can be repeated seven days in a row so that Monday never comes, and other dreamy escapism. You''ll have to read to believe how he learned to fly like a bird, by faith; how he changed a dog into a girl and back again; how he coped with the two selves of his split personality; and how he was called upon to explain the tricky foreign phrase, droit de seigneur, which said in effect that the duke of the neighboring parish was required by law to go to bed with Ian Cawper''s Mary Ann the night of their wedding. Here are fun humourous fantasies and shaggy dog stories by the author who would create "Lassie."

LASSIE, personajul principal din cartea lui Eric Knight- LASSIE SE-NTOARCE ACASĂ este un câine care s-a făcut iubit prin actele lui de curaj şi prin loialitatea de care a dat dovadă faţă de stăpânul lui de care fusese despărţit.

A forgotten prison. A powerful artifact. An epic tale begins. When Wulf Rome discovers a mysterious, ancient axe hidden in a deep cavern, the powerful artifact wins him a throne - and unlocks a prison. Melekath and his followers have languished beyond memory for eons, but now the feared Guardians again roam the land, sowing disease and destruction. The enigmatic stranger Lowellin claims to be immortal. He also claims to bear the world's only hope: sorely needed weapons to be employed in the war against Melekath. When those weapons prove to be dangerous and unpredictable, Rome soon begins to doubt his true motives. But with apocalypse looming, Melekath must be stopped, no matter the cost... for where immortality goes, chaos follows.

The fragments of the Key begin to surface... After saving the woman he loves from the dark sorcerers of Ankhara, Fen realizes for the first time that his power can be a force for good. But the power is wild and uncontrollable and he doesn't have long before it devours him as it did his father. His only hope is to summon one of the ancient Shapers and convince it to teach him what he needs to know. Aislin has kept the secret of the strange artifact she found in the alien underground vault. But her secret is not as safe as it seems. The agents of the Devourers know what she has found and they will threaten everyone she loves if she doesn't give it to them. The Guardian Kasai has created new, more powerful warriors to threaten Karliss and his clan. As powerful as Karliss is, he knows he will inevitably lose to Kasai. Seeing no other options, he conceives a desperate plan to retrieve the lost words of power, but their origins are shrouded in legend and to track them down he and his companions will have to complete a dangerous quest.

Three children with the powers of Stone, Sea and Sky... Are all that stands between the world and the chaotic power of the Abyss. Fen is only a boy when his city is sacked by enemy invaders. His mother is cut down before his eyes. Yet somehow when the blade is turned on him, he survives without a scratch. But the attack seems to have awakened something inside him, something that killed his father years ago. Aislin came from the sea, her origins a mystery. Within her is an innate power over water, as natural as breathing. But she lives in a world of her own, emotionally isolated from everyone else, including the woman who is raising her. Bullied by the other children, one day she turns her power on them. Karliss was touched by the wind at birth, destined to be the greatest wind shaman his people have ever seen. But he is careless with his power and he ignores the warnings about the madness that afflicts those who don't protect themselves against the spirits in the wind. When the powerful, inhuman denizens of the Abyss reach out to take the world, only these three have a chance of stopping them, but only if they can learn to master their powers in time...

Ace is about to get himself hanged for a murder he didn't commit when Victoria, a beautiful English noblewoman, and her hulking manservant Block break him out of jail. Victoria's father, a famed archaeologist from London, has disappeared while on his latest expedition. She needs Ace's help to find him. There's just one little problem. Victoria's father disappeared while searching for the lost temple of the bloodthirsty Aztec god Xipe Totec. Like everyone else, Ace knows about the lost temple of Totec. He also knows that everyone who goes searching for it ends up dead. Follow along as Ace and his new companions blaze a trail across the Old West. Along the way Ace tangles with everyone from Wyatt Earp to Geronimo and finally into the depths of the mighty Sierra Madre mountains to a temple wreathed in mystery. At once fast-paced, exciting and laugh-out-loud funny, The Lost Temple of Totec is an irreverent, darkly comic thrill ride. Think Raiders of the Lost Ark meets The Mummy.

The ideas I have written about here come mostly from a book called A Course in Miracles, published by the Foundation For Inner Peace, in 1976. It is a book I strongly recommend you read.However, it is my experience that A Course in Miracles is a fairly difficult book for most people to get through. It is vast and dense. Each paragraph is packed with enough information for hours of contemplation and meditation. It can be thought of as a graduate-level textbook and it takes some real work to make sense of it.A Few Simple Words is an introduction to some of the Course's basic tenets. It is my hope that you will be drawn to what I write of and then read A Course in Miracles yourself.

How to solve the world's trickiest problems? In Reframe, Eric Knight explains how a change of focus can reveal a solution that was lying just outside your frame of vision. From terrorism to global warming, from border security to high finance, he brings a new perspective that is both exhilarating and useful. Why can't we eliminate terrorism by killing terrorists? Why can't we learn anything about climate change by talking about the weather? Why can't we resolve immigration tensions by building higher fences? And what do fishermen in Turkey have to teach us about international relations? This is an optimistic, lucid and original book by a brilliant young thinker.
