When soldiers ransack the nearby farms looking for Candidus, Tilla's tentative friendship with a local family turns to anger and disappointment.

Over seven decades, John McPhee has set a standard for literary nonfiction. Assaying mountain ranges, bark canoes, experimental aircraft, the Swiss Army, geophysical hot spots, ocean shipping, shad fishing, dissident art in the Soviet Union, and an even wider variety of other subjects, he has consistently written narrative pieces of immaculate design. In Tabula Rasa, Volume 1, McPhee looks back at his career from the vantage point of his desk drawer, reflecting wryly upon projects he once planned to do but never got around to—people to profile, regions he meant to portray.

An occult classic, this edition of The Kybalion is prefaced with an intriguing and thought-provoking foreword by Summum.

Set at a religious, liberal-arts university, Tabula Rasa tells a story of growing up, falling in and out of love, and forging bonds of friendship that have a lifelong effect. Told through the eyes of a young freshman named Troy Rollins, the novel is at once bitingly witty, frank, tragic, painful, but above all, hopeful. Troy begins his year at Ellis University as a blank slate: no ambition and no other desire than to finally be on his own and maybe be lucky enough to find a nice girlfriend. He is introduced to a wide variety of stimulating, albeit eccentric characters.

An understanding of the Bible involves an understanding of the components that have led to our free and prosperous nation and, more fundamentally, to who we are as individuals.

Ruso has (reluctantly, of course) pulled up stakes and brought Tilla to meet his family. But the reception there is not what Ruso has hoped for: no one will admit to sending for him, and his brother Lucius is hoping he'll leave.

Sami & Anil – Tabula Rasa – zwei dudes, zwei homies, zwei verschiedene Lebenswege, ein chilliger talk und der gemeinsame Drang, alles auf null zu setzen und neu zu denken. TABULA RASA. Tabula Rasa, das Konzept des unbeschriebenen Blatts, ist für uns die Einladung, ohne Vorurteile über Gott und die Welt zu reden: Fußball, Kultur, Geopolitik, Popkultur und die widersprüchlichen Zustände des modernen Zeitgeists. Ob zu zweit oder mit Gästen. Wir reden frei raus und versuchen, Themen nicht mit alten Denkmustern zu beladen – sondern sie frisch, kritisch und tiefgründig zu betrachten. ...
