Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Sceptre Edition. Paperback. Against All Reason. This book is a unique and illuminating account of the monastic life, which met with critical acclaim when first published in 1969. Today, more than fifteen years later, it is as perceptive and relevant as ever. This book is not about Christianity in general: it is about 'the religious life' in its technical sense. Much of it is about monks and nuns, but they form only part of the religious world, which is also inhabited by friars, 'sisters', brothers' and several other varieties of profession. In crude and worldly terms the book is about those Christian bachelors and spinsters who life together in monastries, convents or other communities, and who mostly wear medieval clothes. With very few exceptions, which I hope are clear from the context, the word 'religious' in this book applies to them and their life alone; in this technical sense 'a religious' is someone who is 'in religion' as a result of having taken vows or made promises to live in poverty, obedience and chastity with others of a like mind. This book isn't about al the Christian religious in the world. Except for passing references it excludes the religious of eastern Christianity, of whom the Greek Orthodox monks living on Mount Athos are the best known. It is an attempt to survey the religious life today of wester Christendom, of the world under the influence of Catholic and Protestant Christianity.It is an attempt to examine a way of life and a philosophy, the reasons why individuals have taken up that life and the effect it has on them.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Hodder & Stoughton Edition. Paperback. In 1322, Sir John Mandeville left England on a thirty-four year pilgrimage. He returned and wrote a book claiming it was possible to circumnavigate the globe. For centuries none doubted Sir John, many regarding him, not Chaucer, as the father of English literature. In the nineteenth century sceptics questioned his voyage, and suspected he never left England at all. This book investigates if Mandeville really made his voyage or whether his book The Travels was a work of imaginitive fiction. 291 pp.

To defeat Lenin's plan to destroy British India and bring down the democracies of the West. These extraordinary spies led by Mansfield Cumming, proved brilliantly successful. They found a wholly new way to deal with enemies, one that relied on espionage and dirty tricks rather than warfare. They were the unsung founders to dotay's modern, highly professional secret service. They were also the inspiration for fictional heroes to follow, from James Bond to Jason Bourne.378 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
