  Originally published in 1647, Christian Astrology is a guide to horary astrology, in which astrological charts are created to answer specific questions based on place and exact time. Written by the foremost astrologer in the 1600s, it is still considered an authority on the subject today. This version is a complete combined edition; it was originally published by Cosimo in three separate volumes. Topics include: - the characteristics and motions of the "seven" planets - how to cast a horary horoscopes - how to know whether events predicted will come to pass - how to interpret questions on specific subjects, such as longevity, wealth, and marriage - what is signified by such aspects as the querent's face and hair color - how to interpret infirmities of the body - the importance of the questioner's religion - and much more! Readers interested in the history of the paranormal, as well as contemporary fans of astrology, will find this a fascinating book. WILLIAM LILLY (1602-1681) was the most prominent English astrologer of the 17th century-he supposedly predicted the Great Fire of London of 1666 fourteen years before the event. He was a trusted advisor of numerous politicians and soldiers and an influential player in the English Civil War on the anti-royal Roundhead factions.

The sovereign is dead, his supporters beaten, humiliated, and scattered.  But it is not just former Cavaliers who find themselves hounded by the new regime. Many of those who fought for Parliament have fallen foul of the oppressive rule of the Major-Generals.  One such man is Major Samson Lyle: Roundhead, outlaw, fugitive. Forced into exile after a dispute with the ruling elite, he has returned, intent on waging war against those now in command. Skilled with pistol and blade, Lyle takes the fight onto the busy roads south of the capital, forging a formidable reputation as a notorious highwayman.  Along with his trusted young ward Bella, and Eustace Grumm, an irascible former smuggler, Lyle dodges the ever-present threat of capture to menace those against whom he has sworn revenge. But when the robbery of a powerful lawyer alerts Lyle to the imprisonment of a former comrade, the Major is plunged into a dangerous game of intrigue and deceit that may finally prove his undoing.

  The Children Of The New Forest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 763min

  Captain Marryat's The Children of the New Forest is a wonderful tale in narrative, historically rich and quite fascinating. This story of adventure, treachery, and love takes place during the English Civil War, when fellow countrymen are found enemies and are set against each other, Roundhead and Cavalier, Parliament and the King. Many hoped for the same thing: justice. But, for a long time, neither could find it. In the midst of all were the Beverlies, the family of a faithful Cavalier, who died in service of the king. His four children were left orphaned when their mother died of grief. Then, word came to them that the Roundheads were going to burn down their estate, Arnwood. Fate sent them into the hands of an old forester, Jacob Armitage, and they escaped to his cottage. From there, the story unfolds. Captain Frederick Marryat (July 10, 1792 – August 9, 1848) was an English Royal Navy officer, novelist, and a contemporary and acquaintance of Charles Dickens, noted today as an early pioneer of the sea story. He is now known particularly for the semi-autobiographical novel Mr Midshipman Easy and his children's novel The Children of the New Forest, and for a widely used system of maritime flag signalling. From 1832 to 1835 Marryat edited The Metropolitan Magazine. He kept producing novels, with his biggest success, Mr Midshipman Easy, coming in 1836. He lived in Brussels for a year, travelled in Canada and the United States, then moved to London in 1839, where he was in the literary circle of Charles Dickens and others. He was in North America in 1837 when the Rebellion of that year in Lower Canada broke out, and served with the British forces in suppressing it. He was named a Fellow of the Royal Society in recognition of his invention and other achievements. In 1843 he moved to a small farm at Manor Cottage in Norfolk, where he died in 1848. His daughter Florence Marryat later became well-known as a writer and actress. His son Franci ungekürzt.

  Beyond All Price , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 843min

  Beyond All Priceis a historical novel, based on the real life story of Nellie M. Chase, a Union nurse during America's Civil War. History books have recorded only a few lines about her experiences as a Civil War nurse. She left no personal letters and no formal records, but those whose lives she touched remembered her as an angel of mercy. Her story, told here by a trained historian, is factual whenever events can be documented. Fictional descriptions, conversations, and transitions strive to reflect the true nature of the time in which she lived and struggled. She had eloped at the age of 19 with a man she later discovered was a "drunk, a gambler, a liar, a forger, and a thief". She was strong enough to escape from that potentially abusive relationship and resourceful enough to find a job as wardrobe mistress for a theater. The woman with whom she shared a single room in a squalid tenement took an overdose of opium in an effort to escape a life of prostitution. Nellie joined the Union Army, because life in the midst of a war seemed safer than the one she had been living. She found a home with the 100th Pennsylvania Regiment, a band of volunteers whose nickname was The Roundhead Regiment because of their strong religious beliefs. She believed so passionately in her country's cause that she displayed a soldier's bravery. Her skill and compassion led one of her patients to write, "Even here, amid the roar and carnage, was found a woman with the soul to dare danger; the heart to sympathize with the battle-stricken; sense, skill, and experience to make her a treasure beyond all price." She was equally at home managing a southern plantation full of abandoned slaves, a battlefield operating station, or a 600-bed military hospital. But after the war, her deep-seated need to dedicate her life to a worthy cause continued to drive her efforts until she faced an enemy more lethal than war. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Dizzy Heights, 1 Audio-CD

  Neuseelands Pop-Meister und Crowded House-Sänger Neil Finn mit seinem dritten Solo-Album! Produktinfo: Auckland die Veröffentlichung seines neuen Albums "Dizzy Heights" angekündigt, das auf Lester Records via Kobalt Label Services (KLS) erscheinen wird. Das Album ist Finns drittes Solo-Album nach "Try Whistling This" (1998) und "One Nil (2001)", aufgenommen hat er es unter der Ägide von Produzent Dave Fridmann (Mercury Rev, The Flaming Lips, Tame Impala) im Tarbox Road Studio in New York sowie in seinem eigenen Roundhead-Studio in Auckland in der Zusammenarbeit mit den neuseeländischen Musikern Connan Mockasin und SJD. "I didn't want to make it a solo record in a stripped back singer-songwriter sort of way", so Finn über sein neues Album. "I had a feeling Dave would be good at adding some odd shapes to the music. Which I always welcome - making things a little more expansive. He is good at subverting things, and making things sound a bit messed up and not as obvious, rather than being too tasteful, which is always a temptation."
