Book excerpt: Mike Jeffers is a young cowboy trying to make a living off a tumbledown, rock-strewn piece of land he bought because he liked the views. An orphan, Mike grew up as a ward of the state. Living with different families he has learned what hard work is and isn't afraid of it. What does scare him is losing some of his steers or heifers to the cattle rustlers who are working the area. One evening on his way to visit another rancher who has lost some steers, his horse is spooked by stepping on a dead body lying in the path and Mike is caught up in a murder mystery he must solve before he loses some of his own cattle. But while Mike and the Sheriff team up to find the killer some complications arise involving a little boy lost in the wilderness across the road from Mike's ranch and an old abandoned mine there Meantime, Mike marries and settles down to a happy and prosperous life. He buys more land and hires cowboys, but despite how rosy the future looks, suspicion keeps on growing inside Mike that something weird is going on in the old mine. When he investigates, he learns that old ghosts cast long shadows, a lesson that nearly costs him his life.

Book excerpt: Alfred Edersheim's 'Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah' is a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the life of Jesus Christ, providing a detailed account of the historical context in which Jesus lived and the events that shaped his ministry. Edersheim's work is known for its meticulous research, engaging narrative style, and extensive use of ancient sources, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the historical Jesus. The book delves into the religious, political, and social landscape of first-century Palestine, shedding light on the cultural milieu in which Jesus carried out his teachings and miracles. Edersheim's thorough exploration of the life of Jesus is not only informative but also deeply insightful, offering readers a deeper understanding of the person of Jesus and the significance of his mission. Alfred Edersheim, a respected biblical scholar and minister, was well-versed in Jewish history and culture, which greatly informed his writing. His background in theology and biblical studies enabled him to provide a nuanced and compelling portrayal of Jesus' life and times. I highly recommend 'Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah' to readers seeking a thoughtful and in-depth study of the historical Jesus, as Edersheim's work remains a classic in the field of biblical scholarship.

Book Synopsis The Lost Generation by : Ernest Hemingway

Book excerpt: The Lost Generation: The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, The Great Gatsby by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Death of a Hero by Richard Aldington, Under Fire: The Story of a Squad by Henri Barbusse. After the First World War, special people returned to their home towns from the front. When the war began, they were still boys, but duty forced them to defend the homeland. "Lost Generation" - as they were called. This concept is used today when we talk about writers who worked during the breaks between the First and Second World Wars, which became a test for all of humanity and were almost all beaten out of their usual, peaceful rut. One of the themes that commonly appears in the authors' works is decadence and the frivolous lifestyle of the wealthy. Writers of the lost generation raise in their works the problem of young people who returned from the war and did not find their home, their relatives. Questions about how to live, how to remain human, how to learn to enjoy life again - this is what is paramount in this literary movement. Table of Contents: 1. Ernest Hemingway: A Farewell to Arms 2. Ernest Hemingway: The Sun Also Rises 3. Francis Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby 4. Richard Aldington: Death of a Hero 5. Henri Barbusse: Under Fire: The Story of a Squad
