2020 Reprint of 1959 Edition. Profusely Illustrated with Photographs. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. "The lives of Thelma and Gloria Morgan, the twin daughters of Harry Hays Morgan, an American diplomat, and Chilean-born Louise Valdivieso, read like a curious synthesis of The Turn of The Screw and Confidential. Deeply attached to one another through their twinship, - the sisters, Thelma who later became Lady Furness and Gloria, who married Reggie Vanderbilt and mothered Gloria Vanderbilt II -- write of their lives simultaneously, switching the narrative from woman to woman with fascinating ease. There is much here which will attract the socially curious -- tales of the Prince of Wales, Aly Kahn, the titan playboys of the twentieth century as seen by these women who were more than formally involved with them. There are shades here, too, of Stella Dallas- the shocking trial for the custody of Gloria Vanderbilt II in which Louise Morgan, clutching a crucifix, testified to outrageous acts of licentiousness committed by her bewildered daughter. And there is much finally of epic stature-the Medea-like grandeur with which the ancient dowagers of New York society mediated upon the lives of their families. Written with good taste, but sparing no detail no matter how unorthodox, this autobiography of two women is a biography of an age, an age of fantastic extravagance and rigid form, an age in which the various episodes unfolded here seem probable for all their bizarre and melodramatic overtones. Superbly entertaining."--Kirkus.

Описание: The venerable Dr. Furness, obeying "at eve the voice obeyed at prime," tells again in this little volume the story, dear to his heart, of Christ's resurrection; adding in the latter half of the volume remarks on the character of Jesus and the claims of the Gospels to be considered veritable history. Over the whole book is shed the charm of a beautiful spirit, repeating in simplicity and affection its often-offered tribute to the greatest man of men. If tender and loving faith of the purest strain could alone convince one of the reality of the gospel narratives of Jesus' "actual reappearance alive in the flesh to Mary," Dr. Furness would win an easy triumph over our critical hesitations. But, when he says that " nothing in the Gospels is proved, nothing in all the world "; that " all is an illusion," if such a reappearance is not proved; and that, if Jesus had not awoke from the dead, " his memory would have faded away from the world into an unsubstantial dream of the past," he arouses reasonings that are not easily satisfied. If this last assertion is true, why does Dr. Furness say, concerning the Gospels as a whole, "Great things said and done strike all who hear and behold them; and hearers and beholders there always are who must publish what they have heard and seen, or die"? If this be so, and true it is, how could the memory of Jesus' life have perished, if he had not risen from the dead?Apart from this general inconsistency of view, however, Dr. Furness here emphasizes again his favorite idea " that it was not an angel, but Jesus himself whom the guard and the women saw" at the sepulchre. In this, he thinks "to have found the key which opened the whole story to the light, - the light of truth and nature illumining it to its minutest details." But Dr. Furness, we must think, has unconsciously judged his own theory, when he speaks of himself as "possessed with" this idea.Possession with a theory makes us apt to add what is lacking, and to overlook what is most damaging to our theory in the actual story. Our author does not hesitate to supplement, and even correct, the gospel narrative to make it fit his theory, as on page 42, where he makes out that what Jesus "said, and all that he meant to say," was not, " Touch me not," as in the Gospel, but "that she was not to stop to embrace him then, there would be other opportunities of seeing him." But if Dr. Furness, intent upon his "key," thus alters the lock itself, it is a slight matter compared to his omission of a most important feature of the resurrection narrative in the first three Gospels. The angel said to the women, in Mark's words, "He is risen; he is not here; behold the place where they laid him." To this declaration, repeated in substance by Matthew and Luke, this book makes no allusion. Dr. Furness says that the angel was Jesus himself. Did he then rise from the dead with an emphatic falsehood on his lips? The author has not seen what an immoral character the resurrection thus takes on. How these words of the angel are to be reconciled with Dr. Furness' theory altogether fails to appear.But, if the first portion of this volume is thus inconclusive, the second part is of a very different character. In "reading between the lines" of the narrative of Jesus' life, from the Baptism to the Last Supper, Dr. Furness is sometimes a little fanciful; but, most often, he lights up the story with beautiful insight, and reveals his own strength, which lies clearly in spiritual penetration, not in criticism. He carries us entirely with him, when "in the name of all that is just, generous, honorable," he asks, "for God's sake and for man's, let us not forget the sacred debt that we owe to Christ himself... known as he truly was in the beauty of his life, as human as it is Godlike."-"The Unitarian Review," Volume 23 1885

When Society throws you overboard - who can YOU turn to?
Try the trio from Firefly Electrics
A new breed of Public Protectors...
Meet the Aussie Avengers today in Kangaroo Court, the fast-paced, laugh-out-loud sequel to the #1 Best-Selling dark comedy crime thriller, Justice Machine*.
In Kangaroo Court: Lennie, Joe, and their cockatoo, Rawcus, are touring inside a mountain forest when they discover an abandoned campervan - and a pair of stringless tennis racquets. Who would own such objects, and why?
The deeper into the forest they venture, the more mysterious things they find. They're soon headlong on a mission to save strangers from a terrifying ordeal among the trees.
Meanwhile, their partner in a secret botanical business is abducted, forcing Lennie and Joe to confront demons from their past. Can they save the childlike young man they call The Chemist?
If that's not enough to juggle, their friend Pauline Gerrity rings an alarm from her refuge for abused women and children. Her call leads Lennie and Joe to create a sculpture they title Cocoon of Man and hang anonymously from an inner-city tree. A leading art critic likens their work to the British street artist, Banksy. But when the critic adds that the mysterious tree-hangers must be "borderline psychos", Lennie and Joe aren't sure whether to be flattered or insulted.
--- Artful avengers, dangerous subversives, lovely young men. Lennie, Joe, and Rawcus have heard it all. It's all true. ---
Suburban Sydney electricians by day, they fight crime in the shadows of the city; crime the establishment can't touch, won't touch, or gives a sly nod to.
Lennie calls it re-wiring society. Joe reckons they're simply fixing bad people. Rawcus, who grew up in a pub, just wants a cold beer after a hard day on the power grid.
Now they're wanted for Crimes against Crime.
More Pulp Fiction. Less Jack Reacher. All Sweet Aussie Justice.
"These eccentric inner-city crusaders are a whole new adventure in crime capers and my favourite series of the year so far...quirky and refreshingly wry." Tom Flood, Winner of the Miles Franklin Award, Australia's equivalent of the US Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the UK Booker Prize.
"Redolent of 'Lord Of The Flies' and 'Of Mice And Men'...A post-Zen Batman and Robin...Lennie and Joe, and their pet, Rawcus, configure a doctorate in elegant, fair-minded Gonzo retribution of the order of Pulp Fiction." Clare AK - Writers Vic.
