Book Description
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
In the novels of R. K. Narayan (1906-2001), the forefather of modern Indian fiction, human-scale hopes and epiphanies express the promise of a nation as it awakens to its place in the world. The three novels brought together in this volume, all written after India’s independence, are masterpieces of social comedy, rich in local color and abounding in affectionate humor and generosity of spirit.
Mr. Sampath–The Printer of Malgudi is the story of a businessman who adapts to the collapse of his weekly newspaper by shifting to screenplays, only to have the glamour of it all go to his head. In The Financial Expert, a man of many hopes but few resources spends his time under a banyan tree dispensing financial advice to those willing to pay for his knowledge. In Waiting for the Mahatma, a young drifter meets the most beautiful girl he has ever seen–an adherent of Mahatma Gandhi–and commits himself to Gandhi’s Quit India campaign, a decision that will test the integrity of his ideals against the strength of his passions.
As charming as they are compassionate, these novels provide an indelible portrait of India in the twentieth century.

The Healing touch of Jesus.......2001-01-13
This is a powerful book. Dr. Lee has managed to give the reader the opportunity to truly experience the "healing touch of Jesus". Because of the interactive format, it invites one to look at his own illness with the hope that only faith can provide. I highly recommend this book because it empowers one to find a path to healing through the power of Christ.
EXCELLENT.......2000-08-03
I throughly enjoyed reading this book. Jesus heals and with the guidance of Dr. Lee, I once again feel whole. Anxious to read more that Dr. Lee has written. Money well spent!

Book Description
My Dearest Reader,When you hear my story, perhaps you will think me a man unable to control his own hungers...his own temptations. But I warn you that I am no such thing. I am simply a man who knows what he wants, and what he can't live without.It is only fair to tell you that my clan is one descended from magic. I have learned these powers are both a blessing and a curse-for the magic that flows through my blood controls my fate utterly and completely.When I first saw the beautiful Loris, I knew she was my unoliaeth, my oneness, the woman I am destined to unite with for all eternity. At that moment, I allowed my passion to lead me to do the unthinkable: I employed a forbidden magic to win Loris's heart. How did I know that my error would lead to a black curse that still haunts me today? How could I have known that the curse would irrevocably cast Loris' affection for me to another man?Now I am left to ponder how I might win Loris back-black curse be damned. I believe there must be a way. For while it is the darkest realms of magic that keeps Loris from becoming mine, there is another power at play: the undying, unending love of one man for one woman. And I pray that in the end, that will be enough...Your obedient servant,Kian Seymour, Castle Tylluan, London

Wonderful Star-Crossed Lovers Fantasy .......2007-01-19
Twins Kian and Dyfed Seymour at seventeen are wildly sowing their oats on one of their trips to London when Kian is struck with the knowledge that a thirteen year old serving girl, Loris, is his unoliaeth, his oneness, his destiny. At the same time he discovers that Loris has been sold to an owner of a brothel and he engages said owner in a card game in order to win Loris. Infuriated at losing, the brothel owner attempts to kill Kian and in defending himself Kian uses magic to throw the man across the room accidentally killing him. Because Kian used `magic' in the spilling of blood, the Guardians placed a `Blood curse' on Kian. In essence, Kian would suffer-- always aware and in love with Loris, but she would abhor Kian and experience intense pain at his touch.
Ten years have passed and in that time, Kian uses an enchantment to disguise himself in an effort to reach out and become a friend and confidante to Loris without her experiencing any pain. Loris eventually discovers the truth at about the same time she is found to be the long lost granddaughter to a powerful earl and the Seymour's enemy unleashes a great evil upon the villages of Castle Tylluan. Loris is sent to London with a reluctant Dyfed who has fallen in love with a `dark sorceress' and Kian is left to deal with the evil monster. Dangerous sacrifices will need to be made to save Tylluan and all the star crossed lovers in order to survive the evil and find happiness.
TOUCH OF PASSION was a terrific fantasy romance with the lead protagonists being tortured with the `blood curse' that defined their relationship. With this particular curse there wasn't much Kian could do to satisfy the Guardians to have it lifted, so he devised the only plan he could think of in an effort to overcome the limitations that were placed on him. Loris as a mortal wasn't even aware of the connection and even though told she was Kians'unoliaeth, refused to believe in such a thing as unoliaeth. The angst that existed for Loris whenever Kian was near, even though she could not understand why she yearned for him was a trial but in spite of all their bickering she remained drawn to him. Kian and Loris' story was powerfully told in both heartbreaking and sensual intensity as the two star-crossed lovers managed to exist together while under the curse. Kian was developed beautifully as a tender and gentle friend as well as the strong and determined heir to the Dewin Mawr in wanting to solve his own problems regarding the evil unleashed upon his lands.
In the secondary love story between the dark sorceress Desdemona and his brother Dyfedd, Spencer Paul proves how `opposites do attract' in a most delightful way! In spite of her dark ways, Desdemona proves to be one of the more interesting characters she creates. For those who read this series in the order of publication will find out just how amusing her dark ways will be in TOUCH OF DESIRE. I read this series out of order but can honestly say each book stands on it's own and offers a wealth of entertainment that fans of Spencer Paul and the fantasy genre are sure to enjoy!

Rewarding story of magic and romance!.......2006-01-17
I think this story was better than its predecessor, Touch of Night, where we first learned of Loris caring for Wales' Tylluan Manor, its baron Ffinian Seymour and his twins, Kian and Dyfed, with Loris and Kian always bickering with one another. This sequal provides a most satisfying reason as to why that is, and the story almost broke my heart in the telling! Kian is a powerful wizard and fated to be the next Dewin Mawr, head of the mystical families. Now that "dad" is married and out of the house, Kian is lord of Tylluan Manor and facing a baffling mystery as to who or what is killing the animals on his property without leaving a trace. He highly suspects the Seymours' long-time nemesis, Lord Llew, who lives next door. He also has the heartache of a blood curse placed on his relationship with Loris, because when he was trying to save her he killed a man in the process. He has found a way to be near her without hurting her; however, they cannot be truly united and this torments them both. In the meantime, twin bro Dyfed meets and tames a powerful sorceress from America, and she is the key to what is wreaking havoc on Tylluan's lands. EXCELLENT STORY from the first word to the end! I couldn't put it down! I anxiously await the next story of Malachi!
Tough of Passion.......2005-12-26
It only takes a moment for Kian Seymour to realise that Loris, the humble serving girl at a London inn, is his soul mate. Yes, she's too young, but if he takes her home to Wales, she will soon be of age and he can marry her then. Unfortunately, she has just been sold to a cruel man who refuses to release her, forcing Kian to first use trickery, then to actually have to kill with magic to save her. Because of this, he is cursed. Until he can break the curse, he will be unable to touch Loris without pain to the girl. Yet, he finds an enchantment that cloaks his true identity, allowing him to get to know his other half secretly and without pain over the years. Loris never guesses that her friend is none other than the man who she can barely stand to be around. Then, her past catches up with Loris, and she learns she has a grandfather who wants to know her. This happens just as clan wars threaten to destroy her adoptive family and magical beings terrorize the countryside. Kian and his brother must save their family from an evil alchemist with an old grudge. Moreover, Kian's need to break his curse has reached a critical stage. Somehow, the answer to both problems must be found, now.
This is a fairy tale for grown ups. Loris and Kian's story is somewhat reminescent of Psyche and Cupid's, but not quite. Like the Harry Potter books, here a magical world exists alongside the real one, with the ordinary people never knowing the truth. This is a delightful read, one to treasure. Though it is a second book in a series, there is no need to have read the first to enjoy this one.

fantastic fantasy romance .......2005-11-30
In 1811 London twins Kian and Dyfed Seymour keep visiting the Red Fox Inn owned by the Goodbodys. Kian realizes that the thirteen years old tavern wench Loris is his unolineth, his soulmate that will provide his oneness. However, he is stunned when the Goodbodys plan to sell Loris to Gregor Foss, owner of a brothel. Kian wins Loris in a card game, but when he goes to leave with her Gregor pulls out a gun and shoots him. Kian uses his magic skills to throw Gregor across the room. Gregor dies so the Guardians punish Kian for using "blood" magic by insuring Loris will detest his advances.
Three years later, Kian remains frustrated while he expects his sibling to end up with his beloved although Dyfed insists he has found his oneness in someone else. Kian needs a miracle to overcome his nightmare, but does not see any forthcoming. He expects to sacrifice his need for his beloved to find happiness with another.
TOUCH OF PASSION is a fantastic fantasy romance starring star-crossed lovers as Kian suffers for the tragedy that he inadvertently caused though he had solid reasoning, but the rules are strictly enforced and he knows it. His dilemma as his beloved soulmate becomes a woman just like he expected makes for an angst-laden deep tale. This is a powerful sequel stronger than the delightful TOUCH OF NIGHT. Now if Susan Spencer Paul provides us with the unolineth of the Great sorcerer Malachi.

very disapointed. .......2006-08-06
i didn't like this book. i'm normally a person that can't stop reading a book till i've reached the end, but all three stories in this book were not interesting. there was way to much background info and not enough focus on the characters. the first two stories were so boring that i didn't really read the last story in detail. it was just bad. please take my advice and don't waste your money on this one like i did. i don't even remember what the stories were about cause they were so awful.

great art, great story, great comic........2000-06-09
I bought all 3 of Frezzato's "Les Gardiens du Maser" (in french, but i read one of them in english, in Heavy Metal mag). I loved them all very much, Frezzato's art is stunning, such attention to details impress me very much. The characters are very enjoyable and have personas that compels you to have more and more to read about them. The fictional world they live in is very realistic technology-wise. The gizmos they carry, the vehicules, the robots, the evil dwarves are all so interesting... i can't wait for the rest of the books to come out.
Book Description
Traditional folklore has spoken of guardian angels who guide and protect us. However, although there are numerous stories of the miraculous intervention of these beings, some people still write them off as myth and superstition. Based on his own personal experience and cognition, Rudolf Steiner spoke of guardian angels and other spiritual beings as a reality. Their existence, he said, is a spiritual and scientific fact that can be researched and studied by clairvoyance. One of his aims was to enable people to connect again with these spiritual beings not only for their own benefit, but also for the benefit of the other kingdom of nature and the whole destiny of the earth's evolution. In his writings and lectures Steiner intended to lead people from belief to recognition, knowledge, and understanding of spiritual beings. In these six specially selected lectures, which until now have lain hidden away in very early publications or journals, he describes the role of the guardian angel and discusses our relationship to the heavenly hierarchies of spiritual beings as a whole and how they shape our human form as a result of their cosmic activity.
As many people today are awakening to angelic guidance in their daily lives and are seeking it consciously, these lectures will help them to understand their experiences and to make their communication more conscious.

Rudolf Steiner's Guardian Angels lectures.......2006-02-26
This is an excellent book, I would recommend it highly. It is not about the angel fad of today but translated from 1920's lectures and remains relevant. Steiner is an amazing philosopher who reaches in multiple directions, spiritual is one of many. In this book you will think about certain passages over and over again, just like most of Steiner's work. I like this book especially because it is Steiner directly translated compared to many books about Steiner's work.
