Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It happened at the time when Augustus was Emperor in Rome and Herod was King in Jerusalem. It was then that a very great and holy night sank down over the earth. It was the darkest night that any one had ever seen. One could have believed that the whole earth had fallen into a cellar-vault. It was impossible to distinguish water from land, and one could not find one’s way on the most familiar road. And it couldn’t be otherwise, for not a ray of light came from heaven. All the stars stayed at home in their own houses, and the fair moon held her face averted. The silence and the stillness were as profound as the darkness. The rivers stood still in their courses, the wind did not stir, and even the aspen leaves had ceased to quiver. Had any one walked along the seashore, he would have found that the waves no longer dashed upon the sands; and had one wandered in the desert, the sand would not have crunched under one’s feet. Everything was as motionless as if turned to stone, so as not to disturb the holy night. The grass was afraid to grow, the dew could not fall, and the flowers dared not exhale their perfume. On this night the wild beasts did not seek their prey, the serpents did not sting, and the dogs did not bark. And what was even more glorious, inanimate things would have been unwilling to disturb the night’s sanctity, by lending themselves to an evil deed. No false key could have picked a lock, and no knife could possibly have drawn a drop of blood. In Rome, during this very night, a small company of people came from the Emperor’s palace at the Palatine and took the path across the Forum which led to the Capitol. During the day just ended the Senators had asked the Emperor if he had any objections to their erecting a temple to him on Rome’s sacred hill. But Augustus had not immediately given his consent. He did not know if it would be agreeable to the gods that he should own a temple next to theirs, and he had replied that first he wished to ascertain their will in the matter by offering a nocturnal sacrifice to his genius. It was he who, accompanied by a few trusted friends, was on his way to perform this sacrifice. Augustus let them carry him in his litter, for he was old, and it was an effort for him to climb the long stairs leading to the Capitol. He himself held the cage with the doves for the sacrifice. No priests or soldiers or senators accompanied him, only his nearest friends. Torch-bearers walked in front of him in order to light the way in the night darkness and behind him followed the slaves, who carried the tripod, the knives, the charcoal, the sacred fire, and all the other things needed for the sacrifice. On the way the Emperor chatted gaily with his faithful followers, and therefore none of them noticed the infinite silence and stillness of the night. Only when they had reached the highest point of the Capitol Hill and the vacant spot upon which they contemplated erecting the temple, did it dawn upon them that something unusual was taking place.

Book excerpt: Selma Ottilia Lovisa Lagerlof (1858-1940) was a Swedish author. She was the first woman writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and most widely known for her children's book Nils Holgerssons Underbara Resa Genom Sverige (The Wonderful Adventures of Nils). Lagerlof worked as a country schoolteacher in Landskrona for nearly 10 years while honing her story-telling skills. She began her first novel, Gosta Berling's Saga, while working as a teacher in Landskrona. In 1894 she met Sophie Elkan, also a writer, who became her friend and companion. Over many years, Elkan and Lagerlof critiqued each others' work. Lagerlof wrote of Elkan's strong influence on her work, often disagreeing sharply with the direction Lagerlof wanted to take in her books. In 1914 she became a member of the Swedish Academy, the body that awards the Nobel Prize.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These thirty tales depict the young life of Jesus in legend. The author goes back to the beginning, before Jesus was born, through his life as a baby and a young boy, and on up to his appearance in the Temple. This progression tells the story in a new way, acting as a complement to the New Testament narrative where there is only sparse information about Jesus' childhood. This young Jesus is not the curly-headed child with a halo that we have come to expect: he is more like the boy next door. Even Mary is not quite the sort of lady who would expect our "Ave Marias", - although she is clearly deserving of them. The author's aim is to make the stories and the characters real and identifiable for young readers. "I think my Christchild," says Christina Sewell, "is all the better for being human." Ideal for prize-givings and gifts, this book brings the story of Christ to life. The stories are illustrated with high-quality line drawings, which, by their detached and decorative nature, make the book suitable for adult readers as well as children.
