Histoires Extraordinaires et Légendes Merveilleuses Volume 1
Dr. Dahesh
$49.00
This assortment of short stories confronts the reader with exciting plots, perplexing climaxes, and sudden unexpected denouements. The stories make the reader hold his breath at different junctures in the narrative and stirs in him feelings of wonder, surprise, and awe.
What is rather remarkable are the author’s views conveyed in these short stories: all creatures (human and nonhuman) are free and responsible, subject to the eternal laws of divine justice, man is not the only sentient being, for among animals and plants, there are some that enjoy a greater power of rational perception than man. Also the generic hierarchical stratification on Earth is not a proof of spiritual superiority and sublimity. Moreover, there are other inhabited planets whose civilizations exceed by far those of Earth.

A Wanderer in Life’s Wilderness V.4, of Gardens of the Gods Adorned with Roses of Paradise 10 Volumes

My Songs
Dr. Dahesh
$25.00
Most of Dr. Dahesh's books which may be classified as emotive literature carry pieces which have such dominant motifs as the insignificance of worldly life, the ephemeral nature of its hopes, the falsity of its glroies, the corruption of men and their consequent misery, praise and love of death and yearning to it, longing for the world of the Spirit and hope for deliverance from material bondage, and happiness in the eternal paradisical gardens. The author collected these pieces in this book which he entitled My Songs. The title signifies the heart-deep attachment of these pieces to his soul.
This book is different from other books in the same literary category, but so are the purposes of the author. It is the most keen expression of the author's spiritual alienation in this world.

The Hell of Memories
Dr. Dahesh
