Harold Morrow Sherman (1898-1987) was most famous as a psychic researcher and New Thought author. His book "Your Key to Happiness" (1935) has been reprinted numerous times. But Sherman also had a career as an author of children's books, so it should come as no surprise that in the Tahara series, he blended classic New Thought elements such as mentalism, spiritualism, and the supernatural with exciting adventure stories aimed at young boys. The mix works well for the globe-trotting young heroes, and their exciting adventures around the world hold up well today. Included in this volume are all 4 novels in the Tahara series: TAHARA AMONG AFRICAN TRIBES TAHARA: BOY KING OF THE DESERT TAHARA—BOY MYSTIC OF INDIA TAHARA IN THE LAND OF YUCATAN If you enjoy this book, search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see the 200+ other entries in the series, covering science fiction, modern authors, mysteries, westerns, classics, adventure stories, and much, much more!

A fast-paced narrative about the world-famous libertine Giacomo Casanova, from celebrated biographer Leo Damrosch “A nuanced, deftly contextualized biography of an adventurer, an opportunist, and a man of voracious appetites . . . another top-notch work from Damrosch.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “An eye-opening and well-informed study of an ‘extraordinary character’ in all his darkness and brilliance.”—Publishers Weekly The life of the iconic libertine Giacomo Casanova (1725–1798) has never been told in the depth it deserves. An alluring representative of the Enlightenment’s shadowy underside, Casanova was an aspiring priest, an army officer, a fortune teller, a con man, a magus, a violinist, a mathematician, a Masonic master, an entrepreneur, a diplomat, a gambler, a spy—and the first to tell his own story. In his vivid autobiography Histoire de Ma Vie, he recorded at least a hundred and twenty love affairs, as well as dramatic sagas of duels, swindles, arrests, and escapes. He knew kings and an empress, Catherine the Great, and most of the famous writers of the time, including Voltaire and Benjamin Franklin. Drawing on seldom used materials, including the original French and Italian primary sources, and probing deeply into the psychology, self-conceptions, and self-deceptions of one of the world’s most famous con men and seducers, Leo Damrosch offers a gripping, mature, and devastating account of an Enlightenment man, freed from the bounds of moral convictions.
