The Dhammapada (Pali; Prakrit: Dhamapada; Sanskrit Dharmapada) is a versified Buddhist scripture traditionally ascribed to the Buddha himself. It is one of the best-known texts from the Theravada canon. The title, Dhammapada, is a compound term composed of dhamma and pada, each word having a number of denotations and connotations. Generally, dhamma can refer to the Buddha's "doctrine" or an "eternal truth" or "righteousness" or all "phenomena"; and, at its root, pada means "foot" and thus by extension, especially in this context, means either "path" or "verse" (cf. "foot (prosody)") or both. English translations of this text's title have used various combinations of these and related words.

The world of Japanese geisha culture has long commanded worldwide interest and fascination. A document of this culture, as well as an exercise in erotic tradition, the "pillow book," was first used during Japan's Kamakura period (1192–1333). It then developed into a wider range of boudoir literature. Others became illustrated portfolios, or shunga, traditional Japanese erotic art that recalls great eighteenth-century masters such as Hokusai and Utamaro, as well as today's popular Manga comics. These pillow books were used by courtesans and geishas to aid sexual exploration, and throughout history also became a cultural guide to the world of the geisha, describing training, dress, makeup, and style, both public and private. This book brings the world of the geisha to us in glorious vibrancy through its topics of the history of the geisha tradition, the rigors of the geisha apprenticeship, the significance of the kimono, and the meticulous care of the daily routine and cosmetics; the perfection of skills of ceremony, dance, and music, and the significance of misuage—loss of virginity—and the role of the danna, or patron. Filled with the facts of formal tradition and ritual along with erotic symbolism makes Geisha Secrets a must for aficionados of classic erotica and for anyone else who wishes to preserve the rapidly vanishing world of the geisha.

The Gesar of Ling epic is the Tibetan equivalent of The Arabian Nights, known for centuries in oral and written forms across Tibet, China, Central Asia, and the eastern Silk Route. King Gesar, the ideal warrior, embodies loyalty and trust as he conquers enemies and protects peace. His miraculous life story serves as an inspiration and spiritual example for the people of Tibet and Central Asia today, with his warrior mask prominently displayed in towns and homes. As a Buddhist teaching story, Gesar's narrative symbolizes the struggle against emotional and psychological challenges like greed and aggression, representing the untamed mind. Genuine warriors, as portrayed in the epic, subjugate negative emotions to prioritize the well-being of others. This work encompasses volumes one through three, detailing Gesar's birth, mischievous childhood, youth in exile, and rivalry with his treacherous uncle. The epic narrates how the enlightened warrior defends Tibet and Buddhism against demon kings through a series of adventures, aided by heroes and magical characters from Tibetan Buddhism and native traditions. Gesar exemplifies the Silk Route ideal of a king, merging the roles of warrior and magician, and his story reflects an enlightened society where meditation, magic, and communal wisdom create a harmonious lifestyle. Filled with magic and adventure, these tales continue to captivate audiences of all ages, with the epic still sung by

And therefore take good heed unto time, how that thou dispendest it: for nothing is more precious than time. In one little time, as little as it is, may heaven be won and lost. A token it is that time is precious: for God, that is given of time, giveth never two times together, but each one after other. And this He doth, for He will not reverse the order or the ordinal course in the cause of His creation. For time is made for man, and not man for time.

The KJV Apocrypha in a single volume. The Apocrypha ('hidden things') are contemporaneous with the Old Testament, but were not officially accepted as part of the Bible when the Hebrew 'canon' was set. They did, however, form part of the Greek Scriptures and came into English Bibles by that route. The writings of the Apocrypha run the whole gamut of literary genres: histories, romances, devotional works, proverbs and sermons. Many complement parts of the Old Testament and readers will recognise some familiar Biblical characters in the narratives, such as Daniel and Esther.
When it comes to Bible translations, readability and reliability are what count; and on both counts, the original JERUSALEM BIBLE stands alone. One of the main contributors and lexicographers for this Bible was J. R. R. Tolkien, being consulted for the style, and also criticizing contributions of others. THE JERUSALEM BIBLE (published in 1966) was the first truly modern Bible for Catholics. Using definitive original language texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, biblical scholars of L'École Biblique in Jerusalem produced a meticulously accurate, wonderfully readable French translation of the complete canon of Scripture (La Bible de Jérusalem). From this French original came the English edition, edited by renowned Bible scholar Alexander Jones.For all the people around the world who are discovering or revisiting the mysteries contained in the Scriptures, only a clear, understandable Bible translation will do. With language as exquisite but more modern than the King James Version, THE JERUSALEM BIBLE is the one they can trust.
"In 1884 there appeared in Russia a slim volume containing four short tales. They told of a pilgrim, a lone wanderer, led by his quiet curiosity and a deep spiritual longing to undertake a lifelong journey across the land. A folk hero, a figure familiar from the works of Tolstoy and Leskov, this gentle pilgrim and his simple story would soon travel the world - and would even, much later, traverse the pages of JD Salinger's Franny and Zooey as the 'small pea-green cloth-bound book' that Franny keeps close in her handbag. The pilgrim's ancient journey takes him from a city monastery through forests, fields and the steppes of Siberia. He walks by day and by night, through rains and summer months, finding food and shelter where he can. Along the way, he encounters priests and professors, convicts, nuns and beggars, a tipsy old man in a soldier's greatcoat, from whom he slowly gathers great stores of wisdom and experience. But at the heart of his journey is his time spent praying as he journeys on alone, discovering the peace and consolation that come of constant prayer and silent contemplation. Simple and sincere, The Way of a Pilgrim paints an enduring picture of a life of detachment through wandering and prayer. And, as the pilgrim makes his way through the wilds, he invites us to travel with him, along an ancient path into an immense, mystical landscape."-- Amazon.com

Datant de la seconde moitié du 1er millénaire avant J.-C. et attribué au roi Salomon, le Cantique des Cantiques est l’une des œuvres majeures de la poésie hébraïque. Oscillant entre drame et ouvrage lyrique, ce texte a suscité de nombreuses interprétations. Pour les uns symbole de la symbiose entre Jésus et le genre humain, pour les autres chant d’amour d’un érotisme absolu, c’est avant tout un poème d’une fulgurance magnifique.
Djinns, ifrites et autres génies plus ou moins inquiétants hantent les lisières du monde des hommes, auxquels ils jouent des tours cruels... Superstitions d'une époque troublée où la magie reprend brutalement ses droits, où les diables sortent de leurs tanières sans crier gare... Encore que les cœurs diaboliques ne soient pas forcément les plus " inhumains " : tel honorable citoyen de Baghdad peut se montrer à l'occasion plus fourbe *encore que Satan lui-même... La présente édition des Nuits (4 vol.) est la seule, de par le monde, à avoir été, établie à partir des manuscrits originaux - et non d'après les éditions arabes imprimées (toutes scandaleusement arrangées et châtrées); la seule donc à être rigoureusement fidèle au texte arabe, fort libre, de l'original... et à en restituer les vertus natives : impertinence, âpreté visionnaire, voluptueuse crudité.
