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.

Memoirs of a Dinar
Dr. Dahesh
$60.00
An unusual novel which Dr. Dahesh had composed in less than 24 hours spread over 12 days (from the third to the fourteenth of January 1946).
The hero, a Dinar(a golden coin), by virtue of its transference from one hand to another roams several countries for almost a century. It wanders into cities, villages, palaces, cottages, monasteries, nighclubs; it travels in the air and dives to the bottom of the seas; it accompanies good and bad people, kings and commons; it listens to animals and witnesses two national liberation movements in India and England as well as two World Wars and later a third World War! Above all, it records its observations with the genius of a spellbinding storyteller and renders its judgments with the wisdom of a philosopher.
The book is a summary statement of the views of the author regarding society and its corruption, clergymen, politics, human rights, courts of justice, money, love, psychology of wars, art and literature. Underlying his harsh critical attitude is the author’s deep desire for reform.

Dr. Dahesh's Journeys Around the World Vol. 2
Dr. Dahesh
$26.00
Travel is not accidental in the life of Dr. Dahesh. He traveled wide and far—to the Middle and Far East, Russia, North America, and almost all of the African and European countries. He recorded, in this series, facts of his travels, his observations, and his wide-ranged commentaries.
Dr. Dahesh’s travel literature stands out for its fidelity to facts in narration and description, its accuracy in recording the exact time and numbers, its exploration of the natural, cultural, social, and economic aspects of each country he visited, the similarities and differences among nations.
Dr. Dahesh’s Journeys come close to being an autobiography, acquainting the reader with the personality of the author, his attitudes, taste, spiritual philosophy, and the manner of his life.
