The boys began to dig, and what they uncovered started the world’s greatest and stangest treasure hunt. Two hundred years of courage, back-breaking effort, ingenuity, and engineering skills have so far failed to retrieve what is concealed there. The Oak Island curse prophesies that the treasure will not be found until seven men are dead and the last oak has fallen. That last oak has already gone - and over the years, six treasure hunters have been killed. What can the treasure be? Theories include Drake’s plate and jewels, Captain Kidd’s bloodstained pirate gold, an army payroll left… Read More

From the reference library of Hans Christian Andersen - Translator Erik Haugaard. Martin Luther was a German professor of theology, composer, priest, and monk, and a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation. Luther came to reject several teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. He strongly disputed the Catholic view on indulgences that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money. Luther proposed an academic discussion of the practice and efficacy of indulgences in his Ninety-five Theses of 1517. His refusal to renounce all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the Pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Emperor. Luther taught that salvation and, consequently,… Read More

Wrapper slightly detaching. Otherwise in very good condition with some signs of external wear to spine and edges. Some annotations by pre-owner. Borges [1899-1986] was an Argentine poet, essayist, and short-story writer whose tales of fantasy and dreamworlds are classics of the 20th-century world literature. He was profoundly influenced by European culture, English literature, and such thinkers as Berkeley, who argued that there is no material substance; the sensible world consists only of ideas, which exists for so long as they are perceived. Most of Borges's tales embrace universal themes - the often recurring circular labyrinth can be seen as a metaphor of life or a riddle which theme is time. This collection of Borges' poems was published to celebrate Emecé Editores 25th anniversary. It features attractive illustration… Read More

1985. Clamecy, Editions Hots, 1985. 8°. 90 pages. Broché / Softcover. Très bon état. Odoric of Pordenone, OFM (1286–1331), also known as Odorico Mattiussi or Mattiuzzi, was an Italian late-medieval Franciscan friar and missionary explorer. His account of his visit to China was an important source for the account of John Mandeville. Many of the incredible reports in Mandeville have proven to be garbled versions of Odoric's eyewitness descriptions. Odoric de Pordenone, né vers 1286 à Pordenone, mort le 14 janvier 1331 à Udine. Missionnaire franciscain, il a été un des rares voyageurs occidentaux à se rendre en Extrême-Orient pendant le Moyen Âge. Le récit de son voyage en Chine, dicté à Guillaume de Solagna, est authentique et fiable, au contraire de celui de Jean de Mandeville, qui le pille pour alimenter un récit de voyage imaginaire et fantaisiste.

Il engage ainsi le lecteur a s'emanciper d'un malentendu multiseculaire devenu un cliche de la rhetorique politique, mediatique, ou militaire. Il lui permet aussi pour la premier fois de suivre, en la commentant, une des pages les plus importantes du Talmud. Un moment decisif de la conscience humaine.
