By the time Lucien Carr stabbed David Kammerer to death on the banks of the Hudson River in August 1944, it was clear that the hard-partying teenage companion to Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, and William S. Burroughs might need to reevaluate his life. A two-year stint in a reformatory straightened out the wayward youth but did little to curb the wild ways of his friends. MANIA tells the story of this remarkable group—who strained against the conformity of postwar America, who experimented with drink, drugs, sex, jazz, and literature, and who yearned to be heard, to remake art and society in their own libertine image. What is more remarkable than the manic lives they led is th...
The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists (1914) is a semi-autobiographical novel by Irish house painter and sign writer Robert Noonan, who wrote the book in his spare time under the pen name Robert Tressell. Published after Tressell's death from tuberculosis in the Liverpool Royal Infirmary in 1911, the novel follows a house painter's efforts to find work in the fictional English town of Mugsborough (based on the coastal town of Hastings) to stave off the workhouse for himself, his wife and his son.
The purpose of this book is to explain both the causes for the social and cultural breakdown(s) in todays world, as well as the solutions to our societal regression. The causes come from multiple fronts and did not develop in a matter of days, weeks, months, years, decades, or even generations. The degenerative process that has led humanity to the suicidal path it is currently embarked upon has taken several centuries of progressive corruption to reach this point. However, there is a way to reverse course and heal our society again; returning it to its former strength and health. The way in which a true peace can be realized in this world will be explained. It must be admitted that what it takes to achieve a more universal peace is difficult and burdensome on people for many and various reasons. However, when the reader looks at the state of the world today, it is hopeful that they will choose the difficult and burdensome road required in order to maintain a peaceful civilization rather than the bloody chaos and anarchy transpiring in todays world.

Many scholars believe that Mount Tabor is the place depicted in the Bible as the meeting place for the transfiguration of Jesus. Appearing there stood Moses and Elijah. Did God have a specific purpose for two men who had died in early biblical history to be present when Jesus brought Simon Peter, James, and John to the apex of the mountain? After God confirms Jesus as his Son and commands his followers to listen to him, they go back down the mountain. This is when Elijah relates to Moses the raising of dead people back to life by certain saints. Then they begin a time travel to observe the history of war through the ages and the explosion of the H-bomb as well. The impact of war and peace weighs heavily on their minds, and they debate the reason for their assignment of traveling through history. The stories of the saints are true and verified through Catholic on Line and other writings.
