As the well-educated and socially skilled wife of a prominent Confederate, Mary Boykin Miller Chesnut (1823-86) was ideally situated―and intellectually equipped―to record the narrative of daily life in the Confederacy during the Civil War. Yet while she is widely recognized for the significant contribution of her "diaries," Mary Chesnut's other works chronicling her experiences in the Civil War South have remained―until now―unpublished and virtually unknown. Intensely autobiographical novels, The Captain and the Colonel and Two Years―or The Way We Lived Then are Chesnut’s fictionalized accounts of the world as women experienced it in the mid-nineteenth-century South. These short, unfinished novels address a wide range of subjects related to women and serve as an extension of the valuable source material found in the diaries, revealing much about southern history and culture, gender roles, slave-mistress relations, childhood, education, the experiences of westward migration, and the impact of the Civil War on private lives and relationships. With an Introduction by Elizabeth Hanson that places Chesnut's novels in their social context, and thoughtfully edited by Elisabeth Muhlenfeld, Mary Chesnut's fiction is a fascinating and long overdue addition to the library of southern history.

The term spirituality is often used ambiguously. Bookstores have sections dedicated to "spiritual texts," which include everything from tips for improving one's business acumen and marital communication to translations of ancient tantric poetry and primers on the discernment of spirits. Given this diversity, what does spirituality actually mean--especially for the Christian tradition?In Christian Spirituality: Lived Expressions in the Life of the Church, Peter Feldmeier weaves together historical, theological, and experiential anecdotes and information to produce a portrait of the diverse spiritual traditions that have come to bear on Christianity through the lived witness of Christian believers. With instructive chapter introductions, review and discussion questions at the conclusion of each topic, a robust bibliography, and a straightforward chronological method, Christian Spirituality makes the diverse topic of spirituality at once comprehensive and accessible.

This book documents the physical aspects of the lives of Hungarian Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries: the way they looked, the kind of neighborhoods and apartments they lived in, and the places where they worked. The many historical photographs―there is at least one picture per page―and related text offers a virtual cross section of Hungarian society, a diverse group of the poor, the middle-class, and the wealthy. Regardless of whether they lived integrated within the majority society or in separate communities, whether they were assimilated Jews or Hasidim, they were an important and integral part of the nation. We have surprisingly few detailed accounts of their lifestyles―the world knows more about the circumstances of their deaths than about the way they lived. Much like piecing together an ancient sculpture from tiny shards found in an excavation, Koerner tries to reconstruct the many diverse lifestyles using fragmentary information and surviving photos.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
