At Last We, Too, Were Crossing The Atlantic. At Last The Dream Of Forty Years, Please God, Would Be Fulfilled, And I Should See (And Happily, Not Alone) The West Indies And The Spanish Main. From Childhood I Had Studied Their Natural History, Their Charts, Their Romances, And Alas! Their Tragedies; And Now, At Last, I Was About To Compare Books With Facts, And Judge For Myself Of The Reported Wonders Of The Earthly Paradise. We Could Scarce Believe The Evidence Of Our Own Senses When They Told Us That We Were Surely On Board A West Indian Steamer, And Could By No Possibility Get Off It Again, Save Into The Ocean, Or On The Farther Side Of The Ocean; And It Was Not Till The Morning Of The Second Day, The 3d Of December, That We Began To Be Thoroughly Aware That We Were On The Old Route Of Westward-Ho, And Far Out In The High Seas, While The Old World Lay Behind Us Like A Dream.

This is the book that started it all, written a century ago by a man as strange and dynamic as his story. Every fantastical image of a sunken paradise, or heated dispute about it's existence and location, all started with these pages. The origin of all Atlantis-hype, this book similarly starts with the origin of the concept itself. Donnely includes a translation of Plato's story that all Atlantean research goes back too. This was the most interesting part of the book, just hearing the first account all discussion and contemplation aside. It is also the most integral part of the book, since out of it comes all of Donnely's extrapolation. The basic point of the rest of the book is to try to show that 1) Atlantis could have existed and disappeared geologically ages ago, and then furthermore 2) to explain Atlantis's affect on the rest of human history. Here, his attempts are the most interesting, and, often, the most ridiculous. Generally speaking though, he does state his case scientifically, and in most cases, rather believably. The only glaring faults are his mistranslation of the original Plato, placing Atlantis most likely in the wrong area, and how sometimes he takes some rather huge leaps to justify his points. But hey, he wrote it 100 years ago and still manages to produce an intriguing study into the Atlantean question, without the aids of more advanced technologies. [mehr]

Baum was born in Chittenango, New York, in 1856, into a devout Methodist family. He had German, Scots-Irish, and English ancestry, and was the seventh of nine children of Cynthia Ann (née Stanton) and Benjamin Ward Baum, only five of whom survived into adulthood.[2][3] "Lyman" is the name of his father's brother but having always disliked it he preferred his middle name, "Frank".[4] Benjamin Baum was a wealthy businessman, ultimately for providing barrels during the Pennsylvania oil rush. Baum grew up on his parents' expansive estate, Rose Lawn, that he fondly recalled as a sort of paradise.[5] Rose Lawn was located in Mattydale, New York.[6] He was tutored at home, when a young, sickly and daydreaming child, with his siblings. At 12 years, he spent two miserable years at Peekskill Military Academy but after being severely disciplined for daydreaming he had a possible psychogenic heart attack and was allowed to return home.[7] Baum started writing early in life possibly prompted by his father buying him a cheap printing press. He had always been close to his younger brother Henry (Harry) Clay Baum who helped in the production of The Rose Lawn Home Journal. The brothers published several issues of the journal, which included advertisements; they may have sold issues. By 17 years, Baum established a second amateur journal, The Stamp Collector, printed an 11-page pamphlet called Baum's Complete Stamp Dealers' Directory, and started a stamp dealership with friends.[8] [mehr]

(September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigmatic writings of the Jazz Age. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.[1] Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby (his most famous), and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon, was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with age and despair. Fitzgerald's work has been adapted into films many times. His short story, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", was the basis for a 2008 film. Tender Is the Night was filmed in 1962, and made into a television miniseries in 1985. The Beautiful and Damned was filmed in 1922 and 2010. The Great Gatsby has been the basis for numerous films of the same name, spanning nearly 90 years; 1926, 1949, 1974, 2000, and 2013 adaptations. [mehr]

This book begins with a comprehensive and concise study of all that took place in the pre-material world of al-Azal and the beginning of creation of this earthly world; it then continues by guiding us towards the only way which can help us to ascertain the truth, and to attain heart vision of these facts of which most people are ignorant.This way is simply to look into the universe and study its miraculous signs, with the aim of searching for the Provider; for once a human recognizes their Provider they will have heart's eye (third eye) opened and will witness endless realities.God's Aim in bringing creatures into being is so that the people on this earth may become acquainted with their Maker, and accept to do good, charitable deeds once they believe in God and His Envoy (cpth) and obtain insight through their third eye (heart's eye).This insight will enable them to differentiate between goodness and evil, and thereby offer up their good deeds to the Almighty.By following this course, a person will live happily in this life, and after their death they will meet their Provider with a pure heart by virtue of the benevolent deeds they offered to His Creation during their lifetime.As a consequence, they will live in the eternal bliss in His Paradise.

“The auditorium was packed with hundreds of people young and old, mostly casually dressed and there was this huge shout of joy bubbling up from all the rows of people. Children running in the aisles and having a great time and the band was playing really loudly. Oh Man! It was so alive and free! It felt like I was coming home after a long journey through a dry and thirsty desert.” “Something inside me just cracked up after all those months of pain and suddenly I found myself weeping uncontrollably in the back row of this living church. This was a new revelation and it lived and breathed the joy of God’s Holy Presence.” “Over the last thirty years I have met many men and women who have had a wondrous and powerful experience in which they have personally been confronted by God in such amazing ways that their lives have changed forever.” This is a true story written as a novel and it began many years ago in the little seaside town of Jeffreys Bay, which became famous as a surfing paradise because of its powerful waves, a fisherman’s dream because of its fantastic fish and a village which has become a holiday destination for the rich and famous.
