Their love was forbidden. But echoed in eternity. When Mia inherits her beloved grandmother's summer cottage, Birch Thorpe, in Sweden, she faces a dilemma. Her fiance Charles urges her to sell and buy a swanky London home, but Mia cannot let it go easily. The request to carry out an archaeological dig for more Viking artefacts like the gold ring Mia's grandmother also left her, offers her a reprieve from a decision - and from Charles. Whilst Mia becomes absorbed in the dig's discoveries, she finds herself drawn to archaeologist Haakon Berger. Like her, he can sense the past inhabitants whose lives are becoming more vivid every day. Trying to resist the growing attraction between them, Mia and Haakon begin to piece together the story of a Welsh noblewoman, Ceri, and the mysterious Viking, known as the 'White Hawk', who stole her away from her people in 869 AD. As the present begins to echo the past, and enemies threaten Birch Thorpe's inhabitants, they will all have to fight to protect what has become most precious to each of them...

Ivar Thoresson is desperate for adventure. As an archaeologist specialising in Viking times, he wants nothing more than to travel back to the ninth century as his loved ones have done, to learn everything he can about the era which fascinates him. And whilst his adopted family have always made him feel loved, the chance to meet a true ancestor, the warrior Thorald, is a temptation he cannot resist. But while Ivar is preparing to go, he uncovers an amulet which shows him a vision of an arresting woman with red-gold hair. Clearly in distress, she is pleading for help. Convinced of the power of the charm and its message, Ivar’s journey takes on a new purpose. He steps back in time determined to follow his destiny – and find the woman who has called to his heart.

Separated by time. Brought together by fate. Indulging her fascination for the Viking language and losing herself in an archaeological dig is just what Linnea Berger needs after her recent trauma. Uncovering an exquisite brooch, she blacks out reading the runic inscription, only to come to, surrounded by men in Viking costume, who seem to take re-enactment very seriously. Lost and confused, Linnea finds herself in the power of Hrafn, a Viking warrior who claims her as his thrall and takes her on a treacherous journey across the seas to sell her for profit. Setting sail, she confronts the unthinkable: she has travelled back to the ninth century. Linnea is determined to find a way back to her own time, but there's a connection forming with Hrafn. Can she resist the call of the runes and accept her destiny lies here...

Time is no barrier for a love that is destined to be. When jewellery designer Sara Mattsson is propelled back to the ninth century, after cutting herself on a Viking knife she uncovers at an archaeological dig, she is quick to accept what has happened to her. For this is not the first Sara has heard of time travel. Although acutely aware of the danger she faces when she loses the knife - and with it her way to return to her own time - this is also the opportunity of a lifetime. What better way to add authenticity to the Viking and Anglo-Saxon motifs used in her designs? As luck has it, the first person Sara encounters is Rurik Eskilsson, a fellow silversmith, who is also no stranger to the concept of time travel. Agreeing that Sara can accompany him to Jorvik, they embark on a journey even more perilous than one through time. But Fate has brought these two kindred spirits together across the ages for a reason...

Born centuries apart. Bound by a love that defied time. Madison Berger is visiting Dublin with her family for a Viking re-enactment festival, when she chances upon a small knife embedded in the banks of the Liffey. Maddie recognises what the runes on the knife's handle signify: the chance to have her own adventures in the past. Maddie only intends to travel back in time briefly, but a skirmish in 9th century Dublin results in her waking up on a ship bound for Iceland, with the man who saved her from attack. Geir Eskilsson has left his family in Sweden to boldly carve out a life of his own. He is immediately drawn to Maddie, but when he learns of her connection to his sisters-in-law, he begins to believe that Fate has played a part in bringing them together. Amidst the perils that await on their journey to a new land, the truest battle will be to win Maddie's heart and convince her that the runes never lie...

Skye Logan has been struggling to run her remote farm on Scotland’s west coast alone ever since her marriage fell apart. When a handsome stranger turns up looking for work, it seems that her wish for help has been granted. Rafe Carlisle is searching for peace and somewhere he can forget about the last few years. But echoes of the distant past won’t leave Skye and Rafe alone, and they begin to experience vivid dreams which appear to be linked to the Viking jewellery they each wear. It seems that the ghosts of the past have secrets . . . and they have something that they want Skye and Rafe to know.

The humour of the shop and the pilgrimage counterbalance the tragic and sentimental story of Little Nell. The story is rich in Dickensian characters, including Mrs Jarley, Quilp, Dick Swiveller, and the Marchioness. A Disney production of The Old Curiosity Shop has recently finished shotting in Ireland, starring James Fox, Peter Ustinov, and Tom Courtenay.

Reader Of The Runes - Rapture

To Christina Olson, the entire world is her family’s remote farm in the small coastal town of Cushing, Maine. Born in the home her family has lived in for generations, and tied to the farm by health and circumstance, Christina seems destined for a small life. Instead, by chance she becomes the inspiration for the artist Andrew Wyeth, and eventually the subject of one of the best-known paintings of the twentieth century, Christina’s World.

Основанный в 1951 году владельцем магазина грампластинок и радиодиджеем Эрни Янгом, лейбл Нэшборо Рекордс (Nashboro Records, Нэшвиль, штат Теннеси) записал несколько наиболее мощных для того периода релизов в жанре госпел. Лейбл, изначально созданный для удовлетворения местного ошеломляющего спроса на госпел-музыку, быстро приобрёл национальную славу за своё кураторское искусство под предводительством преподобного доктора Моргана Бабба из госпел-группы The Radio Four и за свой уникальный стиль продакшена. Лёгкая реверберация и чистый звук релизов Нэшборо Рекордс определяется безошибочно. The Morning Echoes под руководством Вилли "Слим" Эйерса (Willie "Slim" Ayers), образованная в конце сороковых, выпустили свою первую запись в 1951 году и переехали в Детройт в 1952. Они начали регулярно выступать на радиостанции WJLB и присоединились к семье Нэшборо Рекордс несколькими годами позднее. Echoes of the Gospel были выпущены впервые в 1967 году и стали первым лонгплеем этих фаворитов Города Моторов. The Morning Echoes продолжали выступать все шестидесятые, семидесятые и даже восьмидесятые годы. Официально группа разошлась лишь 17 сентября 2013 года, со смертью её основателя Вилли "Слима" Айерса. Это переиздание появилось благодаря артисту и другу лейбла Third Man Records Келли Штольцу, который прислал с любовью сохранённую копию Echoes of the Gospel в благодарность за выступление на открытии виниловой фабрики Third Man Records. В сопроводительном письме было следующее: "Благодарю за фантастический опыт! Эта запись - духоподъёмная, мне помогла In The Garden Of Eden. Обнимаю, Келли" Third Man с гордостью проливает свет на прекрасный альбом Echoes of the Gospel и ещё раз обращает внимание на связку Детройт-Нэшвиль, которую этот альбом воплощает. Альбом издан с оригинальных миксов 1967 года, ремастированных Уорреном Дефевром (Warre Defever).Tреклист:A1 Jesus Showed Us The WayA2 The Lord Will Make A WayA3 In The Garden Of EdenA4 Spare Me Over Another YearA5 Fire One DayA6 The Lord Will ProvideB1 I'll See You Home AgainB2 Misunderstanding Of A FriendB3 Servants PrayerB4 People Turning Away From GodB5 I've Got JesusB6 God's A Wonderful Lawyer

J.R.R. Tolkien's complete artwork for his magisterial novel, published on the sixtieth anniversary of The Lord of the Rings As he wrote The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien’s mental pictures often found expression in drawing, from rough sketches made within the manuscript to more finished illustrations. Only a few of these were meant for publication; most were aids to help Tolkien conceive his complex story and keep it consistent. Many do not illustrate the final text, but represent moments of creation, illuminating Tolkien’s process of writing and design. In addition to pictorial sketches, numerous maps follow the development of the Shire and the larger landscape of Middle-earth, while inscriptions in runes and Elvish script, and "facsimile" leaves from the burned and blood-stained Book of Mazarbul, support Tolkien’s pose as an "editor" or "translator" of ancient records. The Art of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien collects these drawings, inscriptions, maps, and plans in one deluxe volume. More than 180 images are included, all of them printed in color from high-quality scans and photographs, more than half not previously published. Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull, two of the world’s leading Tolkien scholars, have edited the book and provide an expert introduction and comments.
