Hero of the Empire
Author: Candice Millard
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307948781
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
From the bestselling author of Destiny of the Republic, this thrilling biographical account of the life and legacy of Wintson Churchill is a "nail-biter and top-notch character study rolled into one" (The New York Times). At the age of twenty-four, Winston Churchill was utterly convinced it was his destiny to become prime minister of England. He arrived in South Africa in 1899, valet and crates of vintage wine in tow, to cover the brutal colonial war the British were fighting with Boer rebels and jumpstart his political career. But just two weeks later, Churchill was taken prisoner. Remarkably, he pulled off a daring escape—traversing hundreds of miles of enemy territory, alone, with nothing but a crumpled wad of cash, four slabs of chocolate, and his wits to guide him. Bestselling author Candice Millard spins an epic story of bravery, savagery, and chance encounters with a cast of historical characters—including Rudyard Kipling, Lord Kitchener, and Mohandas Gandhi—with whom Churchill would later share the world stage. But Hero of the Empire is more than an extraordinary adventure story, for the lessons Churchill took from the Boer War would profoundly affect twentieth century history.

The Book of Job, and the Prophets
Delphi Collected Works of Saint Jerome (Illustrated)
Author: Saint Jerome
Publisher: Delphi Classics
ISBN: 1801700648
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 25000
Book Description
The most learned of the Latin Fathers, Saint Jerome had an eventful life, spending time as a hermit, becoming a priest, serving as secretary to Pope Damasus I and later establishing a monastery at Bethlehem. His most ambitious achievement was his Latin translation of the Bible, the Vulgate, based on a Hebrew version, rather than the Septuagint. He believed that mainstream Rabbinical Judaism had rejected the Septuagint as invalid scriptural texts, due to Hellenistic mistranslations. Jerome’s numerous biblical, ascetical, monastic and theological works went on to have a profound influence in the early Middle Ages. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the ancient world, with both English translations and the original Latin texts. This eBook presents Jerome’s collected works, with illustrations, introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Jerome's life and works * Features the collected works of Jerome, in both English translation and the original Latin * The complete Vulgate, in both English translation (Douay-Rheims), Latin and a separate Dual text * Excellent formatting of the texts * Easily locate the sections you want to read with individual contents tables * Includes Jerome's rare treatises * Provides a special dual English and Latin text, allowing readers to compare the sections and verses paragraph by paragraph — ideal for students * Features two bonus biographies * Ordering of texts into chronological order and literary genres Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to explore our range of Ancient Classics titles or buy the entire series as a Super Set CONTENTS: The Translations The Life of Paulus the First Hermit (c. 375) (Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers edition, 1893) The Dialogue against the Luciferians (379) The Perpetual Virginity of Blessed Mary (383) The Life of Saint Hilarion (390) The Life of Malchus, the Captive Monk (391) De Viris Illustribus (393) Against Jovinianus (393) To Pammachius against John of Jerusalem (c. 397) Apology for himself against the Books of Rufinus (402) Against Vigilantius (406) Against the Pelagians (417) Commentary on Daniel (c. 417) (Translated by Gleason L.
