FATHER TOM AND THE POPEby Sir Samuel Ferguson, keeper of the Irish Records. This charming little book is quite a literary gem, a burning satire, easily surpassing "Mr. Dooley." In fact it is almost Rabelaisean in its rollicking hilarious humor.Why is it, that Ireland produces few if any great writers? The islands positively swarms with screaming politicians, fanaticeditors, and sleek, oily, well trained priests, but of thinkers there are none. In the old days, when its people were Pagan, when their gods were ideals of heroism and battle, they were a venturous people, warlike, bold and free. Ireland then produced bards of power and men of renown who could not be mastered, intimidated or mentally subdued. But since the unfortunate people embraced and accepted as a true false Syrian superstition, they have lost all their former glory and grandeur. The downfall of Innisfail dates from the landing of St. Patrick, the preaching of that untruthful sermon on Tara Hill, and the inoculation of the native Celtic mind with the base, submissive and puerile philosophy of the "lowly" Nazarene. In the argument of the three leaved shamrock there is an illusion of the senses, a deliberate deception. It was a hollow oratorical sophistry, but had the effect probably intended. It weakened and disarmed the native mind. It prepared the way for other fallacies. It overthrew the morality of the heroes and led on to the military and economic subjection and exploitation of the island by successive swarms of foreign conquerors. Vikings, Danes, Saxons, Normans, Cromwellians and Hollanders all found it an easy prey. Personal freedom and independence utterly perished. Courage and manhood depreciated. Hopelessness and fear reigned. The intellect of the nation was poisoned. Is that notthe exact meaning of Tom Moore's celebrated lament: "So sleeps the pride of former days, So glory's thrill is o'er.And hearts that once beat high for praise, Now feel that pulse no more."No more kings and ladies bright, The Harp of Tara swells, The chords alone that break at nightThe tale of Ruin tells.""Father Tom and the pope" is not a great book, remember. We do not say it is; but it is a most delightful one. Some rays of the ancient genius of the people scintillate through it. The hero of the tale, Father Tom of Connemara, goes on a visit to the Vatican. He kisses the pope's housekeeper, raises the dander of His Holiness thereby and creates no end of marvellous complications. Illustrated.This edition includes Alphonse Daudet's "History of the Pope's Mule."

"Pandemia. Invito al confronto" contiene alcuni dei contributi medico scientifici (ma non solo) che furono presentati all¿omonimo Convegno che si tenne a Roma il 3 e 4 gennaio 2022. Quel Convegno era stato organizzato dall¿Associazione ContiamoCi! e dal Coordinamento 15 Ottobre come parte di un impegno civile magnanimo e propositivo per generare risposte alla pandemia migliori e più rispettose dei diritti, dei problemi e delle esigenze anche etiche delle persone. Al Convegno erano stati invitati anche i membri del Governo e del CTS per istaurare con loro un dialogo scientifico e costruttivo. L¿invito, però, cadde nel nulla. Al Convegno erano presenti alcuni dei migliori studiosi italiani che in questi ultimi due anni hanno cercato di studiare al meglio quel che stava accadendo e di trovare le strade migliori da percorrere insieme. Il libro si apre con due prefazioni, rispettivamente, di Dario Giacomini, Presidente dell¿Associazione ContiamoCi! e di Roberto Perga, Presidente del Coordinamento 15 Ottobre. Gli autori includono Paolo Bellavite, Marco Cosentino, Vincenzo Cuteri, Fulvio Di Blasi, Alberto Donzelli, Giovanni Frajese ed Eugenio Serravalle.

An Inconvenient Marriage.William of Anglesea is the free-spirited brother, the charmer, and the diplomat of Sir Arthur's brood. He has little doubt he can use his silver tongue and winsome smile to sweet-talk his way through his new marriage of convenience. But the alliance he's entered into quickly reveals itself to be a rather inconvenient arrangement. Tarnwych Castle is in shambles, its people near to starving, and not least of his challenges is Alice-his intriguing new bride. Raised in duty and service, Alice of Tarnwych hides her fire beneath a prim and rigid exterior. Thrice widowed and thoroughly disillusioned with men, her only wish is to have a child of her own to love. But the more time she spends with her captivating new husband, her heart-and body-begin to desire more. When Alice's behavior takes a dark, disturbing turn, and frequent accidents make it clear someone is intent on ending William's life, he vows to save Tarnwych and find the truth. He hopes to convince Alice to choose a tantalizing future with him over the rigid, long-held beliefs of her past. Together, they must navigate the chaos swirling around them, a danger that threatens their happiness. ***Books in the Sir Arthur's Legacy series include Sweet Bea and My Lady Faye, which come before Conquering William.
