3 Stories - Success at What Cost Audiobook

There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes.Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.From their pens to your your ears. 01 - 3 Stories - Success At What Cost02 - How Much Land Does A Man Need by Leo Tolstoy03 - Cohen of Trinity by Amy Levy04 - A Sucessful Rehearsal by Anthony Hope

Stories of Dark Powers

Some very few amongst are a little different. They look the same, possibly act the same but, somehow, we might suspect that they are a little out of tune, a little off. Their difference is that they have dark powers. Powers for the greedy benefit of themselves and not you or I. In these stories our authors have them doing some quite unconscionable actions that disturb and menace those around them and of course you and I. 1 - Stories of Dark Powers - An Introduction2 - The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Part 1 by Aleister Crowley3 - The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Part 2 by Aleister Crowley4 - Lost Hearts by M R James5 - When I Was a Witch by Charlotte Perkins Gilman6 - Young Magic by Helen Simpson7 - Clairvoyance by D K Broster8 - The Operation by Violet Hunt9 - Foreordained by Anthony Hope10 - The Death Hound by Violet Mary Firth writng as Dion Fortune

Essence of Evil – Tales of Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic & More

Pure Evil is one of our greatest fears. No appeals to reason, no pleas of mercy or forgiveness will have the slightest impact on the mind of the oppressor. But in this volume our authors are rather more spiteful that we could at first imagine. Here they blight the lives of characters with Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic and other assorted ghouls that care little about the fate of you or I.1 - Essence of Evil - Tales of Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic & More - An Introduction2 - The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling3 - The Brute by Joseph Conrad4 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft5 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft6 - The Mass of Shadows by Anatole France7 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman8 - Casting the Runes by M R James9 - Clairvoyance by D K Broster10 - Warning Whispers by A M Burrage11 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 1 by Ernst Raupach12 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 2 by Ernst Raupach13 - The Dead Hand by Wilkie Collins14 - The Beast With Five Fingers by W F Harvey15 - The Withered Arm by Thomas Hardy16 - The Arm of Mrs Egan by W F Harvey17 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs18 - The Hair by A J Alan19 - The Ash Tree by M R James.wav20 - Blood - Part 1 by Hanns Heinz Ewers21 - Blood - Part 2 by Hanns Heinz Ewers22 - Beyond the Pale by H D Everett23 - The Operation by Violet Hunt24 - Foreordained by Anthony Hope25 - The Miracle by John Davys Beresford26 - Lost Hearts by M R James27 - Lost in a Pyramid (or the Mummy's Curse) by Louisa May Alcott writing as A M Bernard28 - The Screaming Skull by F Marion Crawford29 - Young Magic by Helen Simpson30 - Witchcraft by Arthur Machen31 - A Witches Den by Helena Blavatsky32 - When I Was a Witch by Charlotte Perkins Gilman33 - The Spectre Bridegroom by William Hunt34 - The Waxworks by A M Burrage35 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 1 by Edward Bulwer Lytton36 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 2 by Edward Bulwer Lytton37 - The Ebony Frame by Edith Nesbit38 - St Johns Eve by Nikolai Gogol39 - A Fight with a Cannon by Victor Hugo40 - Carnacki, The Ghost Finder - No 1 - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson41 - Couching at the Door by D K Broster42 - The Death Hound by Violet Mary Firth writng as Dion Fortune43 - Marsyas In Flanders by Vernon Lee44 - The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Part 1 by Aleister Crowley45 - The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Part 2 by Aleister Crowley

The Chronicles of Count Antonio

How it fell out that Count Antonio, a man of high lineage, forsook the service of his Prince, disdained the obligation of his rank, set law at naught, and did what seemed indeed in his own eyes to be good but was held by many to be nothing other than the work of a rebel and a brigand. Yet, although it is by these names that men often speak of him, they love his memory; and I also, Ambrose the Franciscan, having gathered diligently all that I could come by in the archives of the city or from the lips of aged folk, have learned to love it in some sort. A tale that lovers must read in pride and sorrow, and, if this be not too high a hope, that princes may study for profit and for warning. Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, better known as Anthony Hope, was an English novelist and playwright. Although he was a prolific writer, especially of adventure novels, he is remembered best for only two books: The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) and its sequel Rupert of Hentzau (1898).

The Prisoner of Zenda

Anthony Hope's swashbuckling classic tale of adventure and romance: Ruritania, a beautiful kingdom in the mountains between Germany and Austria, is in the midst of a power struggle. On one side is the alcoholic lay-about crown prince, Rudolf-popular with the upper class and army-and on the other is his half-brother, Michael, who has the love of the common people. The struggle reaches a new fervor at Rudolf's coronation, when Michael kidnaps his brother and takes him to the Castle of Zenda. Now the only thing in the way of Black Michael's plan is a confused distant cousin in England. But a man named Rudolf Rassendyll could ruin Michael's plan. Rassendyll bears a striking resemblance to the kidnapped king Rudolf. After the king's disappearance, Rassendyll poses as the sovereign in order to maintain order-and finds that it is up to him to find the rightful ruler.

Short Stories of the Great War - Volume III

The short stories written during and about World War I are often over shadowed by the excellent verse of the War Poets.Yet the short story is perhaps their equal in other ways. Within these succinct little time capsules of words are captured ideas, attitudes, feelings and life that are expressed in a few pages just as movingly, imaginatively and tellingly as in any other form.Some of these stories will be familiar but some may not. From Virginia Woolf to Katharine Mansfield and John Buchan to C. E. Montague various writing styles try to make sense of this world at war.Some may do so directly and some obliquely. Some speak of class others of the masses but all reveal their author's intent and their mastery of war and its effects and consequences upon the human condition as told through their words.

London - A City in Stories

London. A candidate for global capital. Centre of an Empire. The swift-beating heart of culture. A sprawling metropolis of life's rich tapestry. And a bewildering Escher cityscape of overlapping and colliding forces. People, streets, buildings interweaving and interchanging. And our eminent writers have the talent and focus to reveal the story that lies beneath the words.
