Until Robin sets his sights on Sir John Hartlebury's heiress niece. The notoriously graceless baronet isn't impressed by good looks, or fooled by false charm. He's sure Robin is a liar - a fortune hunter, a card sharp, and a heartless, greedy fraud - and he'll protect his niece, whatever it takes. 

Three days of plundering traditionally befell cities taken by storm, a fate usually avoided by those surrendering before the first attacking soldier penetrated beyond the outer walls. In Europe and areas influenced by Enlightenment thinkers, this practice faded rapidly after the Napoleonic Wars. In 1937, however, as the Imperial Army of Japan invaded China, this custom returned in a horrifying new form - the Rape of Nanking or the Nanking Massacre, a bloodbath lasting more than six weeks.

Joan of Arc is one of the most famous women in history: a French folk legend, a Catholic saint, and a military heroine. Yet almost nothing is truly known about the Maid of Orleans besides her ultimate fate - being burned at the stake when she was still a teenager. Claiming God instructed her to save France from England, she convinced the uncrowned Charles to send her to the siege of Orleans, and she subsequently led the French army to a string of important victories that made it possible for Charles VII to be coronated as the king of France.

From a young age Kerouac was a spiritual thinker and questioner, and he always considered himself a spiritual writer. Buddhism gave more meaning to Jack’s work as a writer: he was working not for personal accomplishment and glory but for human betterment. And Buddhism justified his lifestyle: with its vision of the material world as empty and illusory, he was free to do what he wanted.

Dank seines Klassikers »Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte« ist Charles Dickens wie kein anderer untrennbar mit dem Weihnachtsfest verbunden. Doch nicht nur der griesgrämige Scrooge bevölkert die Weihnachtswelt des Autors: In seinen festlichen Erzählungen nimmt er uns mit an reich gedeckte Tafeln, zu rauschenden Festen, winterlichen Kutschfahrten und gewieften Kobolden. Ungestüm und stimmungsvoll, melancholisch und gewitzt sind diese Geschichten, die immer wieder zeigen, dass das Wichtigste an Weihnachten die Menschen sind, mit denen wir es feiern.

The promise of a new heart lies at the center of Sermon No. 456, "The Stony Heart Removed." Charles Spurgeon describes the hardness of the human heart, cold and resistant to God, and then proclaims the miracle of divine grace that transforms it. He explains how the Spirit replaces stone with flesh, making the heart tender, responsive, and alive to Christ. This change is not achieved by human effort but is the gift of God, bringing assurance of salvation and lasting renewal. Read with reverence by Alexander Scourby, this sermon blends Spurgeon’s vivid imagery with pastoral compassion.

Among the figures of early Roman history, few stand out quite like Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, a man who to his contemporaries stood as the very image of the Roman Vir Bous (the Good Man). His life, whether viewed through the lens of ancient writers or treated as something of a foundational myth, has shaped Western thought surrounding civic duty and the restraint of power for more than 2,000 years.
