33 Keys to Unlocking The Lost Symbol
Ever since Professor Beyer read The Da Vinci Code, he became intrigued by Dan Brown's use of facts in fiction. He realized that an examination of the novel could be a tantalizing and entertaining entry into the world of research and evaluating information, and decided to make it the subject of his freshman seminar class at Middlebury College. Beyer and many of his students have followed Dan Brown's work ever since, and four years ago, Beyer began to anticipate and delve into the facts that would be the core of The Lost Symbol. Like millions of other expectant readers, he purchased a copy of the novel on its publication date, September 15, 2009. He read and analyzed it several times, and, at the urging of his publisher, focused on writing this handy, reader-friendly companion guide to The Lost Symbol, in which he elaborates on 33 key topics and identifies 133 Internet links for even further exploration. The topics, organized by theme in seven sections, follow the plot of the story and cover the setting in Washington, D.C., art and architecture, cryptology, Freemasonry, secret teachings, science, and people and places in the novel, highlighted with 33 helpful illustrations.
Glossolalia
Andrei Bely was one of the most prolific poets, novelists, and theoreticians among the Russian Symbolists. Engaged throughout his life with the essence of language, his thoughts and findings emerge repeatedly in his essays and novels. None of his writings on the subject, however, are as remarkable and multi-faceted as this Poem about Sound. Glossolalia is a complex examination of philology, philosophy, esoterica, and poetry, all in search of the relationship between sound and sense. It reverberates with sound associations and transcends all boundaries of language, discipline, and tradition. It is simultaneously a treatise on the origins of language and the world's creation through the movements of sounds. Bely reenacts, through the mouth, the cosmology of Rudolf Steiner. Bely's work, in its bold attempt to invoke the "living word," remains one of the most far-reaching poetic experiments of the twentieth Century, and this edition offers his fascinating text for the first time in both an English and a German translation, along with the original Russian version and an in-depth commentary by Thomas R. Beyer. Illustrated.
Yearning for Paradise
This book is for all who have experienced love and yearning in their lives, who are able to smile through tears and conceal the sufferings of their souls behind that laughter. Yearning for Paradise follows the hero who finds his lost love and together they begin the path of return to the Garden of Paradise and at-one-ment with the once forsaken Lord. From medieval to modern times, from Mexico and Moscow to Mississippi, this magical mystery tour defies the boundaries of time and space. Mikhail Morgulis shows us how in our search to be reunited with the Father that love can conquer all. Yet it is we who must make that effort to do good and battle evil in this life. For the novel reminds us of the words of John F. Kennedy: "asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth, God's work must truly be our own."
The Christened Chinaman
Bely's autobiographical novel describes family life and the academic circles of Moscow at the end of the nineteenth century. It captures the memory and imagination of a child in the sustained rhythmic prose of an adult Symbolist poet and theoretician. This translation seeks to convey accurately the complexity and special magic of Bely's ornamental prose.

Cheerful illustrations, grammar and vocabulary flash cards, learning exercises in the form of games and puzzles, and a special pull-out bilingual dictionary with a food and drink guide are just a sampling of the attractive features that help make learning Russian an adventure.
Reminiscences of Rudolf Steiner
Both because it is the gift of the Russian people to be able to describe another's soul-configuration in a particularly pictorial and concrete way, and because each of these writers knew Rudolf Steiner and saw him frequently, their impressions are especially living and vivid. In these eminently readable reminiscences, Andrei Belyi, the foremost symbolist poet of Russia in the twentieth century, Assya Turgenieff, a niece of novelist Ivan Turgenieff, and Margarita Voloschin, wife of a Russian poet and a well-known painter in her own right, recount their personal observations and experiences with Rudolf Steiner. Beautifully illustrated by photographs as well as drawings and paintings by Turgenieff and Voloschin, this collection offers striking and surprising impressions of Rudolf Steiner.
