Soft cover. Condition: Fair to Good, Reading Copy. Second Edition By Publisher. 423 pages. ** Goodreads; One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. >>> This is a reading copy.

Frithjof Schuon is best known as the foremost spokesman of the religio perennis and as a philosopher in the metaphysical current of Shankara and Plato. Over the past 50 years, he has written more than 20 books on metaphysical, spiritual and ethnic themes as well as having been a regular contributor to journals on comparative religion in both Europe and America. Schuon's writings have been consistently featured and reviewed in a wide range of scholarly and philosophical publications around the world, respected by both scholars and spiritual authorities. Schuon was born in 1907 in Basle, Switzerland, of German parents. As a youth, he went to Paris, where he studied for a few years before undertaking a number of trips to North Africa, the Near East and India in order to contact spiritual authorities and witness traditional cultures. Following World War II, he accepted an invitation to travel to the American West, where he lived for several months among the Plains Indians, in whom he has always had a deep interest. Of his first book, The Transcendent Unity of Religions, T. S. Eliot wrote: "I have met with no more impressive work in the comparative study of Oriental and Occidental religion." Every religion has, in Schuon's view, besides its literal meaning, an esoteric dimension, which is essential, primordial and universal. This intellectual universality is one of the hallmarks of Schuon's works, and it gives rise to many fascinating insights into not only the various spiritual traditions, but also history, science and art. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 169 pages. pages.…

Dr. Lings is able to articulate in a handful of pages the root of the problems that have plagued the modern world. Also, he logically dismantles some of the hurdles, mostly intellectual, that prevent the modern man today from claiming his eternal link to the Divine and offers a prescription for the repair of a broken ligament that can connect us to our eternal heritage. At the same time he offers a clear insight into some of the ancient beliefs - often ignored if not ridiculed - in this modern age, which in a way tell more about the mockers that the subject of their mockery. This is a book than can be read time and again, offering new insights with each reading. Finally, Dr. Lings offers the rare pleasure of reading a master of English prose. ; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 84 pages.…
