Every story begins with a quiet spark. Sometimes its a memory,sometimes a fear,sometimes a fleeting thought that refuses to fade. This one began with a simple question: What if the smallest among usheld the greatest courage? From that question grew a world where danger hides in ordinary places,where fear can slip through cracks in the night,and where a woman searching for safetyfinds an unexpected protector in a grey, silent catwho chooses her without hesitation. This is not a story about grand heroes or perfect bravery.It is a story about the kind of courage that lives in stillnessin the soft blink of a cats eyes,in the quiet steps of three unlikely guardians,and in the heart of a woman who learns that strength does not always roar. Sometimes it whispers.Sometimes it trembles.Sometimes it arrives on four pawsand stays when the world grows dark. As you turn these pages,I hope you feel the bond that forms between Bea and Leoa bond shaped not by words,but by trust, devotion, and the fierce instinct to protect what matters most. May their journey remind youthat no one is ever too small to be a hero,and no home is ever truly unprotectedwhen love stands watch at the door. Thank you for opening this book.Thank you for stepping into this story. I hope it stays with you long after the last page is turned.

Arabic erotic literature has a long and rich history, which goes back as far as the ninth century. Far from being the pursuit of prurient pornographers, eroticism and sexuality received considerable attention from scholars.Written by Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201 - 1274), one of the leading scientists of the age, The Sultans Sex Potions is part of a relatively small group of works devoted to aphrodisiacs, as well as sexual stimulants, sexual practices and positions. Sober and measured in tone, the work was intended to be a manual, which would allow the patient to dispense with the services of a physician. Written at the request of the ruler, its potions, electuaries, syrups and enemas enjoyed a royal warrant of appointment to arouse the lust for coitus and enhance sexual potency.This bilingual volume includes a critical edition of three manuscripts (Berlin, Cairo and Glasgow) and is accompanied by a translation, as well as an introduction to Arabic erotic literature, a biography of the author and extensive indexes.

Or were they only too human, struggling for freedom and survival?Society was in turmoil political instability and economic uncertainty divided loyalties in Europe.

The finale was uplifting a tale of human conflict painfully moulded into a brilliant new future as modern Europe and its component states. Through the writings of ancient commentators, glimpse the love, hate, treachery and, at times, humour as prevalent in the European Dark Ages as they are today.

Desde a sua época, as pessoas que viam Cagliostro agir, que o observavam e o interrogavam admitiam ser impossível julgá-lo. Uns o reverenciavam como um verdadeiro deus, outros o odiavam. Certamente, nenhuma personalidade permaneceu mais enigmatica ao longo da Historia do que este homem. Mas, afinal, quem foi Cagliostro? Acerca de sua vida, lendas e calunias se acumularam. Desde que estava vivo ate depois da sua morte, historias a seu respeito se espalharam e odios religiosos o perseguiram. Por no encontrarem nada que explicasse seus atos, os historiadores logo o deixaram de lado e a literatura tomou para si o papel de torna-lo um personagem classico. Das lendas, exageros e impericias de seus discipulos e admiradores construiu-se a imagem do mago Cagliostro: um homem rico, dono de uma fortuna que ninguem sabia de onde provinha, dotado de um poder especial para a cura e realizador de milagres que enciumavam os medicos e poderosos de sua epoca. Um homem que ajudava a todos, que inclusive dava abrigo e dinheiro aos pobres fieis que trilhavam longas viagens em busca de uma possivel cura. Uma personalidade que despertava odio e amor e da qual, no entanto, temos apenas uma ideia aproximada. Cagliostro O Grande Mestre do Oculto e uma obra biografica que, baseada em textos oficiais, referencias de contemporaneos imparciais e cartas e petiçes escritas pelo proprio Cagliostro, busca iluminar mais um pouco o carater de um homem to cercado de misterios e suas relaçes com o Hermetismo, a Alquimia e a Maçonaria.
