While young Tom Swift is in a jewelry store shopping for a ring for Mary, he meets a man who claims to be willing to teach Tom how to make diamonds. Later, the man (who happens to be one of the party that Tom rescued in the book Tom Swift and his Wireless Message) tells Tom his story -- how he was approached by a group of men who knew how to make diamonds, how he actually watched them make diamonds, and how he gave them some money, and how they dumped him (but not before giving him a fortune in diamonds). The man urges Tom to go with him on a hunt for these diamond makers.After some thought on the matter, Tom agrees to go after the diamond makers, taking with him Ned, Mr. Damon, and Mr. Parker (the doomsday-predicting scientist in Tom Swift and his Wireless Message who predicted the destruction of the island). After a long search and plenty of adventures along the way, the small band locates the diamond makers -- but is then captured.Can they escape from Phantom Mountain? Can they learn the secret of the diamond makers? Will the mountain really be destroyed, as Mr. Parker predicted? It's all there, in Tom Swift Among the Diamond Makers.

The Death of Olivier Becaille
It was on a Saturday, at six in the morning, that I died after a three days' illness. My wife was searching a trunk for some linen, and when she rose and turned she saw me rigid, with open eyes and silent pulses. She ran to me, fancying that I had fainted, touched my hands and bent over me. Then she suddenly grew alarmed, burst into tears and stammered:"My God, my God! He is dead!"

All the Crooked Saints - Tökéletlen szentek
Lebilincselő történet sötétségről, csodákról és a családról.
Mindannyiunk leghőbb vágya ez: egy csoda.
De rettegünk attól, mit kell feláldoznunk ahhoz, hogy megkapjuk.
Aki a coloradói Bicho Raróba látogat, nagy eséllyel találkozik
néhány komor szenttel, titokzatoskodó szerelmessel, álmodozó
tudóssal, csodamániás bagollyal, elhidegült szerelmespárral,
egy-két árva gyerekkel meg egy végtelen sivatagi égbolttal,
aminek a csillagai éberen figyelnek.
Ennek a helynek a főszereplői a Soria család tagjai, akik szokatlan csodákra képesek. A család főszereplői pedig három tizenéves unokatestvér, akik arra készülnek, hogy megváltoztassák a jövőt:
Beatriz, az érzelmek nélküli lány, aki csak arra vágyik, hogy
szabadon vizsgálhassa a gondolatait; Daniel, Bicho Raro Szentje, aki mindenkin készséggel segít, épp csak magán nem; és Joaquin, aki éjszakánként egy kalóz-rádióállomást vezet Diablo Diablo néven.
Mindannyian csodát keresnek. De Bicho Raro csodái csalókák: sosem olyanok, mint amilyennek tűnnek.
Szentek. Csodák. Család. Romantika. Halál. Megváltás
Mélyedj el a rejtelmeiben!

'My commitment with this book is to wake up as many people as possible to their connection to faith and joy. In that connection, we can be guided to our true purpose: to be love and spread love.

The Country House Revisited
Monografie se věnuje literatuře spojené s anglickým venkovským sídlem, a to zejména dílům autorů 20. a 21. století, jako jsou E. M. Forster, Evelyn Waugh, Iris Murdoch, Alan Hollinghurst a Sarah Waters. Venkovské sídlo je nahlíženo v širším společenském a kulturním kontextu, včetně soudobého vývoje architektury. Šíře a rozmanitost literárních obrazů odráží rozrůznění fyzické podoby venkovského sídla a dovoluje zahrnout jak jeho menší varianty, tak i pozůstatky vznosných paláců na pokraji zničení. Interpretace v rámci soudobé prózy, architektury a poetiky prostoru umožňuje venkovskému sídlu, vzhledem k jeho výjimečným evokačním a soustředivým vlastnostem, akcentovat různé podoby bydlení. Následkem toho mohou být literární ztvárnění současně chápána jako předobrazy i odrazy soudobého žití.

The Great Stone of Sardis
A double adventure written at the end of the 19th century, somewhat in the theme of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Center of the Earth, telling of a submarine trip in the year 1947 to reach the North Pole and a project to examine the center of the Earth by boring a deep shaft. What they find at the core of the planet surprises the enterprising explorers.Since the book was set about 50 years into the future from when it was written, it includes some speculations on the advancement of science and technology, as the author explains in his introduction. A literary reviewer has said about this novel: "The conception was bizarre and grotesque enough, but the author developed it into a fascinating tale, incidentally injecting into it a good deal of drollery and fun. The tale shows that aspect of Stockton's genius that is inclined to the whimsical and chimerical, as well as the mechanical turn of his invention."("The Fiction of Frank R. Stockton" by Edwin W. Bowen in The Sewanee Review, Vol. 28, No. 3, July 1920, pp. 452-462)
