Forbidden by Time (The Forbidden Love Novels #3)
by Negeen PapehnThe author of Forbidden by Destiny &“gives readers good insight into the Iranian culture&” in this heartfelt May-December romance novel (InD&’tale Magazine). On the outside, Bita appears to have it all under control. She&’s a no-nonsense, strong-willed, force to be reckoned with. On the inside, though, she&’s spent most of her life dealing with her pushy Iranian mother, ever concerned father, and overbearing younger brother. But that&’s all about to change . . . Bita is determined to stand on her own two feet. She&’s purchasing her first home, and ultimately, her independence. When Bita meets Ramtin, the sexy, older real estate agent, she gets more than she ever imagined. What was meant to be a simple property transaction, blooms into a fierce desire that leaves her breathless. Now they must make their relationship work despite their fifteen-year age gap—and interference from their traditional families. Ramtin is everything Bita never knew she wanted, that is, until something unexpected becomes an all-or-nothing deal-breaker, and Ramtin may not be all in. Bita must decide what&’s worth fighting for and if Ramtin is worth the final risk—losing her heart. Praise for the Forbidden Love series &“Forbidden by Faith shows how family, love, and faith can collide, even in this modern age.&”—A. K. Leigh, author of See Her Run &“A heartfelt immigrant love story.&”—Publishers Weekly &“Ms. Papehn is a wonderful storyteller! I was immediately caught up in the lives of her characters. In Forbidden by Destiny, the heroine, Leyla, might be of Iranian descent but her story belongs to all women.&”—Carrie Nichols, author of the Small-town Sweethearts series

Apocalypse: And the Writings on Revelation (The Definitive Cambridge Editions of D.H. Lawrence)
by D. H. LawrenceThis collection of writings by the author of Sons and Lovers presents his thoughts on religion, art, psychology and politics in a newly restored text. Though D. H. Lawrence was one of the great writers of the twentieth century, his works were severely corrupted by the stringent house-styling of printers and the intrusive editing of timid publishers. A team of scholars at Cambridge University Press has worked for more than thirty years to restore the definitive texts of D. H. Lawrence in The Cambridge Editions. Written while he was dying, Apocalypse is Lawrence&’s final book. In it, he presents both a radical criticism of our civilization and a statement of unwavering belief in man&’s power to create &“a new heaven and a new earth.&” This volume also includes Lawrence&’s review of Book of Revelationby John Orman, and his Introduction to The Dragon of the Apocalypseby Frederick Carter. The Appendixes also present previously unpublished material on Revelation.

95 Theses: Sermon On Indulgences And Grace, 95 Theses (Treasures Of The Taylorian: Reformation Pamphlets Ser. #Vol. 2)
by Martin LutherThe sixteenth-century document that changed the course of Christianity. Monk and theology professor Martin Luther found himself in disagreement with the Roman Catholic Church on the subject of indulgences—certificates sold by the Church that promised to spare their owners from punishment for their sins. With his 95 Theses, Luther proposed a debate on the subject, but ultimately, he was excommunicated and the Protestant Reformation began. This is both a religious document and a historical one—a turning point that marked a challenge to papal authority, set off political conflicts and bloody war in Europe, and led to the remarkable variety of Christian denominations and sects that exist in the world today.
Lyre of Orpheus: What's Bred In The Bone, The Rebel Angels, The Lyre Of Orpheus (Cornish Trilogy #3)
by Robertson Davies&“The final Cornish Trilogy novel from an author who &“tells terrific stories that twist around and double back on themselves in surprising ways&” (The New York Times). There is an important decision to be made. The Cornish Foundation is thriving under the directorship of Arthur Cornish when Arthur and his beguiling wife, Maria Theotoky, decide to undertake a project worthy of Francis Cornish—connoisseur, collector, and notable eccentric—whose vast fortune endows the Foundation. The grumpy, grimy, extraordinarily talented music student Hulda Schnakenburg is commissioned to complete E.T.A. Hoffmann&’s unfinished opera Arthur of Britain, or The Magnanimous Cuckold; and the scholarly priest Simon Darcourt finds himself charged with writing the libretto. Complications both practical and emotional arise: the passion in Maria&’s blood rises with a vengeance; Darcourt stoops to petty crime; and various others indulge in perjury, blackmail, and other unsavory pursuits. Hoffmann&’s dictum, &“the lyre of Orpheus opens the door of the underworld,&” seems to be all too true—especially when the long-hidden secrets of Francis Cornish himself are finally revealed. &“Davies once again delivers the goods—with this solidly entertaining finale . . . Blending a characteristic knack for wit, esoterica, and snobbery, Davies charges ahead with a buoyant tale of upper-class grantsmanship and modern-day cuckoldry . . . A spry jaunt from an old master—once again in full command of the form.&”—Kirkus Reviews &“Packed with interesting details of opera history and production . . . intelligent observations and playful allusions.&”—Publishers Weekly &“With his wonderfully complex yet controlled plot, deft portrayal of eccentric characters, and great wit, Davies effectively satirizes the world of universities and foundations.&”—Library Journal
A Mixture of Frailties: Tempest-tost; Leaven Of Malice; A Mixture Of Frailties (Salterton Trilogy #3)
by Robertson DaviesThe &“first-rate . . . abundantly funny&” conclusion to the Salterton Trilogy, following Leaven of Malice and Tempest-Tost (The New York Times). Louisa Bridgetower, the imposing Salterton matron, has died. The substantial income from her estate is to be used to send an unmarried young woman to Europe to pursue an education in the arts. Mrs. Bridgetower&’s executors end up selecting Monica Gall, an almost entirely unschooled singer whose sole experience comes from performing with the Heart and Hope Gospel Quartet, a rough outfit sponsored by a small fundamentalist group. Monica soon finds herself in England, a pupil of some of Britain&’s most remarkable teachers and composers, and she gradually blossoms from a Canadian rube to a cosmopolitan soprano with a unique—and tragicomic—career. &“Davies is equally familiar with the world of the Canadian provinces and with that of musical London, and portrays both with rich humor and sympathetic understanding.&”—Chicago Tribune &“Something of a virtuoso performance, this relies more on its wit than its warmth, but the musicianship is very knowledgeable and the fingerwork light.&”—Kirkus Reviews

Peg Zeglin Brand and an international group of contributors interrogate the body and the meaning of physical beauty in this multidisciplinary volume.
