My New Year's Eve Among the Mummies
J. Arbuthnot Wilson (pseudonym of the real author, Grant Allen) tells this short story of his strange night spent inside "the great unopened Pyramid of Abu Yilla" in Egypt. On New Year's Eve, on the night before his group was to take a guided tour and climb the still sealed pyramid, he set out on his own to walk around the pyramid to relieve his boredom. He happened to find the secret entrance stone, which he pushed open. What he experienced deep inside the pyramid was a once-in-a-thousand-years event."Never as long as I live shall I forget the ecstasy of terror, astonishment, and blank dismay which seized upon me when I stepped into that seemingly enchanted chamber. ... I gazed fixedly at the strange picture before me, taking in all its details in a confused way, yet quite incapable of understanding or realizing any part of its true import."

The Lost Stradivarius
The Lost Stradivarius (1895), by J. Meade Falkner, is a short novel of ghosts and the evil that can be invested in an object, in this case an extremely fine Stradivarius violin. After finding the violin of the title in a hidden compartment in his college rooms, the protagonist, a wealthy young heir, becomes increasingly secretive as well as obsessed by a particular piece of music, which seems to have the power to call up the ghost of its previous owner. Roaming from England to Italy, the story involves family love, lordly depravity, and the tragedy of obsession, all conveyed in a "high" serious tone not uncommon in late Victorian literature. Preceding M.R. James's ghost stories by several years, it has been called the novel James might have written, had he written novels.

The Rise And Fall of Athens
Plutarch traces the fortunes of Athens through nine lives - from Theseus, its founder, to Lysander, its Spartan conqueror - in this seminal work
What makes a leader? For Plutarch the answer lay not in great victories, but in moral strengths. In these nine biographies, taken from his Parallel Lives, Plutarch illustrates the rise and fall of Athens through nine lives, from the legendary days of Theseus, the city's founder, through Solon, Themistocles, Aristides, Cimon, Pericles, Nicias and Alcibiades, to the razing of its walls by Lysander. Plutarch ultimately held the weaknesses of its leaders responsible for the city's fall.
His work is invaluable for its imaginative reconstruction of the past, and profound insights into human life and achievement. This edition of Ian Scott-Kilvert's seminal translation, fully revised with a new introduction and notes by John Marincola, now also contains Plutarch's attack on the first historian, 'On the Malice of Herodotus'.

The New Testament, King James Version
The Authorized King James Version is an English translation of the Christian Bible began in 1604 and completed in 1611 by the Church of England. A primary concern of the translators was to produce a Bible that would be appropriate, dignified and resonant in public reading. Hence, in a period of rapid linguistic change, they avoided contemporary idioms; tending instead towards forms that were already slightly archaic, like "verily" and "it came to pass". While the Authorized Version remains among the most widely sold, modern critical New Testament translations differ substantially from the Authorized Version in a number of passages, primarily because they rely on source manuscripts not then accessible to (or not then highly regarded by) early 17th Century Biblical Scholarship.In most of the world the Authorized Version has passed out of copyright and is freely reproduced. This is not the case in the United Kingdom where the rights to the Authorized Version are held by the British Crown under perpetual Crown copyright. [Source: Wikipedia]

A rémálmok múzsája - Muse of Nightmares
Itt a New York Times bestseller A különös álmodozó – Strange the Dreamer várva-várt folytatása a Nemzeti Könyvdíj-nyertes Laini Taylortól, a Füst és Csont leánya írónőjétől. Szárája hatéves kora óta uralta Könny lakosainak álmait a Rémálmok Múzsájaként. Eddig azt gondolta, hogy már ismer minden szörnyűséget, így többé semmi sem lepheti meg. Ám amikor lezuhant a citadellából, rájött, hogy tévedett. Sem ő, sem szerelme, a jóképű, álmodozó idegen, Lazlo sem lehetett már ugyanaz, mint előtte: egyikük istenné, másikuk szellemmé lett, és így kellett szembenézniük Minja fenyegetésével, aki véres bosszút tervez az alattuk elterülő város lakói ellen. Lazlo lehetetlen döntésre kényszerül – mentse meg a nőt, akit szeret, vagy mindenki mást? –, miközben Szárája reménytelenebbnek érzi magát, mint eddig valaha. És ez még nem minden, ugyanis hirtelen egy új ellenséggel is meg kell küzdeniük, valamint rá kell jönniük, honnan jöttek az istenek,és miért. Mindeközben, ahogy az elfeledett ajtókat kinyitják, új világok tárulnak fel.
