Filius


Book Description

In a world where espionage knows no bounds, where secrets are currency, and betrayal is a way of life, one book dares to delve into the heart of the clandestine underworld. Welcome to a realm where the line between loyalty and deception is razor-thin, and where the stakes are higher than ever. Follow the riveting exploits of secret agents and double agents as they navigate a landscape fraught with danger, where alliances shift like sand and trust is a luxury few can afford. But let’s not forget the allure of the gorgeous lady spies, their serpentine bodies a sight to behold as they maneuver through a world of danger and desire. These agents are not just skilled in espionage; they’re masters of seduction, swapping sex partners to abstract strictly classified secrets, finding not only the thrill of the mission but also divine pleasure in their pursuits. From the deserts of the Sahara to the lush oases of distant lands, from the depths of betrayal to the heights of redemption, this is a tale of epic proportions that will grip you from the very first page. Prepare to be enthralled by a world where danger and desire collide, where nothing is as it seems, and where the fate of humanity rests in the hands of those who walk in the shadows. But amidst the treachery and intrigue, there’s another force at play: extraterrestrial beings who have witnessed humanity’s self-destructive nature and have a plan to save the Earth from its own demise.

Terrae-filius, Or, The Secret History of the University of Oxford, 1721-1726


Book Description

Although Amhurst was often dismissed by nineteenth-century historians of Oxford as a bitter "slanderer of his university," his work stands as the single most important and reliable contemporarily published account of life in early eighteenth-century Oxford. The Terrae-Filius essays, despite their satirical bent, also demonstrate that Amhurst had a deep respect for the institution and a clear vision of the intellectual ideas it should embody. This modern critical edition reprints all fifty-three Terrae-Filius essays (including the three omitted from the 1726 collected editions) and provides an introduction and extensive explanatory notes that set the essays in their historical and cultural context."--BOOK JACKET.
