Médico de cuerpos y almas narra el periplo del gran sanador Lucano, más conocido como san Lucas, el tercer evangelista. En su espíritu habitaba la profunda sabiduría médica alejandrina. En sus manos tenía el poder de preservar la vida y vencer la muerte. Lucano había adquirido sus conocimientos en el poderoso y espléndido Imperio babilónico, cuna de la ciencia, en la magnífica Biblioteca de Alejandría, donde miles de volúmenes atesoraban secretos arcanos que contenían el poder de sanar las enfermedades del cuerpo y el alma. Durante el largo viaje que lo llevaría desde Roma hasta Tierra Santa, Lucano se convirtió al cristianismo y utilizó su arte y su devoción para aliviar la desesperación de aquellos que encontró en su camino.

Her father led her to glittering success - but no-one taught her how to love. In A Prologue To Love, Taylor Caldwell has written the profoundly moving novel of Caroline Ames, a woman rich beyond imagining, whose inability to give or accept love, fear of poverty, and hostility brings in their wake tragedy and unhappiness for almost all the lives she touches. Caldwell writes of three generations of the Ames family in and around Boston during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with great insight and compassion. Perhaps Miss Caldwell's most impressive achievement is her ability to evoke the reader's sympathy and understanding for Caroline Ames. It is an inspiring story of the power of love and faith in overcoming evil.

New York Times Bestseller: A breathtaking saga of ancient Greece and one of history’s most influential political couples, Aspasia and Pericles. Born in the Greek city of Miletus, Aspasia was destined for a life of tragedy. Her wealthy father vowed to abandon any female child, so Aspasia was secreted away, educated independently of her family, and raised as a courtesan. She discovered at an early age how to use her powers of intellect as ingeniously as those of the flesh.   Ensconced in the Persian harems of Al Taliph, she meets the man who will change her fate: Pericles, the formidable political leader, statesman, ruler of Athens, and Aspasia’s most cherished lover. She becomes his trusted confidante, his equal through scandal, war, and revolt.   From the eruption of the Peloponnesian War to violent political and family rivalries to a devastating plague, author Taylor Caldwell plunges the reader into the heart of ancient Athens. In bringing to life the tumultuous love affairs and gripping power struggles of one of history’s most complicated and fascinating women, Glory and the Lightning is thrilling proof that “Caldwell never falters when it comes to storytelling” (Publishers Weekly).   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Taylor Caldwell including rare images from the author’s estate.
