He served the Church as a bishop in both his native Serbia and the United States, and survived a Nazi torture camp. He was a great scholar, storyteller, and poet, as well as a great preacher and pastor.These two volumes cover every day of the Orthodox Church ecclesiastical year with wonderful devotional and educational material for the edification of Christian individuals and families who wish to immerse themselves in the life of the Church. They may also be used as reference sources for the lives of the saints by using the alphabetical index of saints' names at the back of each volume. The title of these books was given as The Prologue from Ochrid in the earlier abridged 4-volume edition published in England. The author's name is often transliterated into English as "Nikolaj Velimirovich".This two-volume American edition published in 2002 is the only complete and unabridged edition in English, and includes the remarkable hymns written by St. Nikolai. It is a new translation from the original Serbian.The good translation, readable type, pleasing layouts, and quality binding make this the definitive English edition of the Prologue. --- Randall Mark Trainer

    Bliss Perry has performed his editorial task with great skill and discrimination, and it is now possible to read in a convenient form the intellectual log book of the Concord philosopher, to obtain an informal, but truer picture of Emersonian thought than in the ‘Essays.’”—Independent.From about 1820, when he was 17, Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82) kept a personal journal. Over the next 55 years, he continued to make entries, recording a wide range of thoughts and impressions about books and authors, religions, his contemporaries, the state of the nation and the world, and a host of other topics. The result was ten volumes of pure Emerson — open and informal, revealing the private man behind the formidable thinker, poet, and leader of the New England Transcendentalists.For this volume, Professor Bliss Perry selected, with admirable judgment and a remarkable eye for the telling passage, the best of the journals, offering not only a splendid, revealing record of Emerson’s personal beliefs but also a social and historical record of his age. He has “succeeded in retaining in a single volume both only the best separate passages which their crystalline completeness of construction makes a comparatively simple matter, but, what is more difficult, the unspoiled portrait of Emerson himself.” — Outlook.Any student, scholar, or admirer of Emerson will want to have this concise, well-chosen compilation of his intimate, innermost musings and meditations. It’s a rich opportunity to discover a fascinating, lesser-known dimension of the man known to the public as the Sage of Concord.

    Memoirs is the first book in her two volume English-language autobiography, published in 1926, whilst she and her second husband Dr. Adnan were in exile in London and Paris having fallen out of favor with Mustafa Kemal's one-party regime. �n it Edib describes her childhood, her confrontation with her first husband's polygyny, her divorce, and her entry into political and literary writing. Providing an account of the Young Turk Revolution of 1908, the Balkan and First World Wars, and ending with the demise of the Ottoman Empire in 1918, Edib explains her philosophy of pacifist nationalism, and her ideas on Islam and Islamic civilisation. Her retrospective account of Young Turk and nationalist politics, emphasizing the agency of Ottoman women in their fight for emancipation, aimed to redress the Kemalist account of Republican historiography, which undermined the activities of the Young Turks in order to praise the reforms of the Republican period. Edib's account of her private life provides a unique example of a woman's individual and personal struggle for emancipation and gender equality.
