The Return of Tarzan is a novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the second in his series of books about the title character Tarzan.

The novel picks up where Tarzan of the Apes left off. The ape man, feeling rootless in the wake of his noble sacrifice of his prospects of wedding Jane Porter, leaves America for Europe to visit his friend Paul d'Arnot. On the ship he becomes embroiled in the affairs of Countess Olga de Coude, her husband, Count Raoul de Coude, and two shady characters attempting to prey on them, Nikolas Rokoff and his henchman Alexis Paulvitch. Rokoff, it turns out, is also the countess's brother. Tarzan thwarts the villains' scheme, making them his deadly enemies. Later, in France, Rockoff tries time and again to eliminate the ape man, finally engineering a duel between him and the count by making it appear that he is the countess's lover. Tarzan deliberately refuses to defend himself in the duel, even offering the count his own weapon after the latter fails to kill him with his own, a grand gesture that convinces his antagonist of his innocence. In return, Count Raoul finds him a job as a special agent in Algeria for the ministry of war. A sequence of adventures among the local Arabs ensues, including another brush with Rokoff. Afterwords, Tarzan sails for Cape Town and strikes up a shipboard acquaintance with Hazel Strong, a friend of Jane's. But Rokoff and Paulovitch are also aboard, and manage to ambush him and throw him overboard.

Miraculously, Tarzan manages to swim to shore, and finds himself in the coastal jungle where he was brought up by the apes. He soon rescues and befriends a native warrior, Busuli of the Waziri, and is adopted into the Waziri tribe. After defeating a raid on their village by ivory raiders he becomes their chief. The Waziri know of a lost city deep in the jungle, from which they have obtained their golden ornaments. Tarzan has them take him there, but is captured by its inhabitants, a race of beast-like men, and condemned to be sacrificed to their sun god. To his surprise, the priestess to perform the sacrifice is a beautiful woman, who speaks the ape language he learned as a child. She tells him she is La, high priestess of the lost city of Opar. When the ceremony is fortuitously interrupted, she hides him and promises to lead him to freedom. But the ape man escapes on his own, locates the treasure chamber, and manages to rejoin the Waziri.

Meanwhile, Hazel Strong has reached Cape Town, where she encounters Jane, and her father Professor Porter, together with Jane's fiancé, Tarzan's cousin William Cecil Clayton. They are all invited on a cruise up the west coast of Africa aboard the Lady Alice, the yacht of Lord Tennington, another friend. Rokoff, now using the alias of M. Thuran, ingratiates himself with the party and is also invited along. The Lady Alice breaks down and sinks, forcing the passengers and crew into the lifeboats. The one containing Jane, Clayton and "Thuran" is separated from the others and suffers terrible privations. Coincidentally, the boat finally makes shore in the same general area that Tarzan did. The three construct a rude shelter and eke out an existence of near starvation for some weeks until Jane and Clayton are surprised in the forest by a lion. Clayton loses Jane's respect by cowering in fear before the beast instead of defending her. But they are not attacked, and discover the lion dead, speared by an unknown hand. Their hidden savior is in fact Tarzan, who leaves without revealing himself.

전 세계 독자를 열광케 한 형사 매그레 반장이 온다!

대문호 헤밍웨이가 조르주 심농에게 보내는 찬사. "만약 아프리카 우림에서 비 때문에 꼼짝 못하게 되었다면, 심농을 읽는 것보다 더 좋은 대처법은 없다. 그와 함께라면 난 비가 얼마나 오래 오든 상관 안 할 것이다." 『이방인』의 알베르 카뮈는 심농의 『쿠데르크 씨의 미망인』이라는 작품에 많은 영향을 받았다고 밝혔다.

트렌치코트를 걸치고 파이프 담배를 문 채 쉼 없이 맥주를 마시는 거구의 사나이, 추리 소설 역사상 가장 사랑받는 주인공 중 하나인 매그레 반장. 매그레는 전 세계 50개 이상의 언어로 번역되어 5억 권 이상의 작품이 팔려 나갔으며 60편 이상의 극장 영화와 3백 편 이상의 텔레비전 영화가 만들어진 벨기에 작가 조르주 심농의 가장 유명한 주인공이다.

눈에 띄는 외양과 달리 그는 비범한 두뇌를 지니고 있지는 않다. 오히려 우리에게 친숙한 탐정들에 비하면 그의 수사는 평범하다고까지 할 수 있다. 그러나 여느 탐정들처럼 천재적 추리력으로 앉은 자리에서 사건을 해결하는 대신, 그는 범행의 현장 속으로, 인물의 심리 속으로 직접 뛰어든다. 서민 출신의 그는 그 누구보다 그들의 삶을 이해하며, 약자의 처지에서 생각하려 한다. 타인의 처지로 들어가 공감하는 특유의 능력이 바로 그가 남다르게 사건을 해결하게 해주는 비결이다.

No kidding.  If you aren't already using the Internet to promote your business you need to start NOW!  Why?  Because you can bet that your competitors are already there or pretty close!

2. It's easy for just about any small business to make a big impression in the local market by using the Internet, if you know how.

It doesn't matter whether you already have a website. Nor does it matter whether you are an accomplished marketer. Anyone with the desire to use the power of the Internet can become a savvy online marketer.

Promoting your small business online can be as simple or as difficult as you choose to make it.  None of this applies to you and your business, however.

Shri Brahma Samhita With Audio (v. 2.0)

VedanTech LLC опубликовал приложение 2012-11-04
(обновлено 2012-11-04)

Sing Along Brahma Samhita is an easy to use application that helps devotees learn chanting of Shri Brahma Samhita shloks perfectly. Even if we have the scriptural text, it becomes easier for us to chant prayers if we first hear it from a bona fide acharya. The audio track is sung by His Divine Grace B.S. Tirtha Maharaj, founder of Gaudiya Vaishnav Association (http://www.gva.in), and a bona fide acharya of Brahma Gaudiya Vaishnav Sampradaya.

For every set of verses in the screen, you have the option of pausing, restarting or resuming the audio. You can toggle between sanskrit and english transliteration for the verses. To start from beginning, The "First Shlok" button takes you to the beginning. This way, you can go at your own pace and learn to chant Shri Brahma Samhita easily.

It is advisable to chant this on every Ekadashi fasting day to please Lord Krishna or Shri Narayana or Shri Vishnu.

About Brahma Samhita:

According to Vedic tradition, these “Hymns of Brahma” were recited or sung countless millennia ago by the first created being in the universe, just prior to the act of creation. What we now have as Brahma-samhita is, according to tradition, only one of a hundred chapters composing an epic work lost to humanity. The text here surfaced and entered calculable history early in the sixteenth century when it was discovered by a pilgrim exploring the manuscript library of an ancient temple in what is now Kerala state in South India.

The pilgrim who rescued Brahma-samhita from obscurity was Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu—saint, mystic, religious reformer, and full incarnation of the Supreme Lord, Sri Krsna, descending into the present epoch for the salvation of all souls. After a southward journey from Puri (in Orissa State) that carried Him to holy places such as Sri Ranga-ksetra, Setubandha Ramesvara, and finally Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin), he turned northward and, traveling along the bank of the Payasvini River in Travancore state, reaches the temple of Adi-kesava, in Trivandrum district.

Upon beholding the holy image of Adi-kesava (Krsna) in the temple, Caitanya was overwhelmed with spiritual ecstasy, offered fervent prayers, and chanted and danced in rapture, a wondrous sight that was received with astonished appreciation by the devotees there. After discussing esoteric spiritual matters among some highly advanced devotees present, Sri Caitanya found “one chapter of the Brahma-samhita”.

Upon discovering the manuscript, Sri Caitanya felt great ecstasy and fell into an intense mystic rapture that overflowed onto the physical realm, producing a profusion of tears, trembling and perspiration. (We would search the literature of the world in vain to find a case in which the discovery of a lost book inspired such unearthly exhilaration!) Intuiting the Brahma-samhita to be a “most valuable jewel,” He employed a scribe in hand-copying the manuscript and departed with the copy for His return journey to the north.

“There is no scripture equal to the Brahma-samhita as far as the final spiritual conclusion is concerned,” exults Krsnadasa Kaviraja. “Indeed, that scripture is the supreme revelation of the glories of Lord Govinda, for it reveals the topmost knowledge about Him. Since all conclusions are briefly presented in Brahma-samhita, it is essential among all the Vaisnava literatures.”

A Princess of Mars (v. 1.0)

AppMK опубликовал приложение 2012-11-01
(обновлено 2012-11-01)

A Princess of Mars is a science fiction novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Barsoom series. It is also Burroughs' first novel, predating his famous Tarzan series. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the novel is considered a classic example of 20th century pulp fiction. It is also a seminal instance of the planetary romance, a genre that became highly popular in the decades following its publication. Its early chapters also contain elements of the Western. The story is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment. This vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell, whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Aladdin and the Magic Lamp (v. 1.0)

AppMK опубликовал приложение 2012-11-01
(обновлено 2012-11-01)

Aladdin is an impoverished young ne'er-do-well in a Chinese city, who is recruited by a sorcerer from the Maghreb, who passes himself off as the brother of Aladdin's late father, convincing Aladdin and his mother of his goodwill by apparently making arrangements to set up the lad as a wealthy merchant. The sorcerer's real motive is to persuade young Aladdin to retrieve a wonderful oil lamp from a booby-trapped magic cave. After the sorcerer attempts to double-cross him, Aladdin finds himself trapped in the cave. Fortunately, Aladdin retains a magic ring lent to him by the sorcerer. When he rubs his hands in despair, he inadvertently rubs the ring, and a jinni, or "genie", appears, who takes him home to his mother. Aladdin is still carrying the lamp, and when his mother tries to clean it, a second, far more powerful jinni appears, who is bound to do the bidding of the person holding the lamp. With the aid of the jinni of the lamp, Aladdin becomes rich and powerful and marries Princess Badroulbadour, the Emperor's daughter. The jinni builds Aladdin a wonderful palace – far more magnificent than that of the Emperor himself.

The sorcerer returns and is able to get his hands on the lamp by tricking Aladdin's wife, who is unaware of the lamp's importance, by offering to exchange "new lamps for old". He orders the jinni of the lamp to take the palace to his home in the Maghreb. Fortunately, Aladdin retains the magic ring and is able to summon the lesser jinni. Although the jinni of the ring cannot directly undo any of the magic of the jinni of the lamp, he is able to transport Aladdin to Maghreb, and help him recover his wife and the lamp and defeat the sorcerer.

The sorcerer's more powerful and evil brother tries to destroy Aladdin for killing his brother by disguising himself as an old woman known for her healing powers. Badroulbadour falls for his disguise, and commands the "woman" to stay in her palace in case of any illnesses. Aladdin is warned of his danger by the jinni of the lamp and slays the imposter. Everyone lives happily ever after, Aladdin eventually succeeding to his father-in-law's throne.

Anne of Green Gables (v. 1.0)

AppMK опубликовал приложение 2012-10-30
(обновлено 2012-10-30)

Anne of Green Gables is a bestselling novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery published in 1908. Set in 1878, it was written as fiction for readers of all ages, but in recent decades has been considered a children's book. Montgomery found her inspiration for the book on an old piece of paper that she had written at a young age, describing a couple that were mistakenly sent an orphan girl instead of a boy, yet decided to keep her. Montgomery also drew upon her own childhood experiences in rural Prince Edward Island. Montgomery used a photograph of Evelyn Nesbit, which she had clipped from New York’s Metropolitan Magazine, and pasted the framed clipping on the wall of her bedroom, as the model for the face of Anne Shirley, the book's main character.
