Excerpt from The Silences of the Master Earth, these solid stars, this weight of body and limb. Are they not sign and symbol of thy division from Him? Dark is the world to thee: thyself art the reason why; For is He not all but that which has power to feel, "I am I?" Glory about thee, without thee; and thou fulfillest thy doom, Making Him broken gleams, and a stifled splendor and gloom. Speak to Him thou, for He hears, and Spirit with Spirit can meet - Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet. - Tennyson, "The Higher Pantheism."

Excerpt from The Master of Silence: A Romance I had often heard my father speak of my uncle Revis, who went to America almost twenty years before I was born. N ow he was my nearest living relative. No news of him had reached us for many years before my father died. I was familiar with his handwrit ing and the specimen before me was either genuine, or remarkably like it. If genuine he had evidently not heard of my father's death. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

ISBN: 1619021420

A personal and cultural exploration of silence and its value in our lives—“[an] artful book, mixing autobiography, travel writing, meditation, and essay” (Independent, UK). In her late forties, after a noisy upbringing as one of six children and adulthood as a vocal feminist and mother, Sara Maitland found herself living alone in the country and, to her surprise, falling in love with silence. In this fascinating, intelligent, and beautifully written book, Maitland describes how she began to explore this new love, spending periods of silence in the Sinai desert, the Scottish hills, and a remote cottage on the Isle of Skye. Maitland also delves deep into the rich cultural history of silence, exploring its significance in fairy tale and myth, its importance to the Western and Eastern religious traditions, and its use in psychoanalysis and artistic expression. Her story culminates in her building a hermitage on an isolated moor in Galloway. “Her book is probably unique in its subject, and timely, because good, healing silence is becoming hard to find, and we may not know we need it” (Guardian, UK).

Excerpt from The Sacrifice of Silence Emerson somewhere, and truly, observes that there is a strange power in silence. But there are many kinds of silence. This has been tritely attested from time immemorial by axioms and epigrams laudatory of timely mutism as being at once one of the virtues of the wise, the ornament and safeguard of the ignorant, and an efficacious element of repute, whether deserved or not. Then there is that silence, the child of love, which expresses everything and proclaims more loudly than tongue is able to do; which is the ecstatic bliss of souls that by intelligence con verse.

In this new millennium, the promise of intrigue continues to captivate audiences. In THE MASTER COPY, that same hypnotic passion abounds. A fictional narrative, its plot radiates around an illegally cloned man on trial for the deaths of a wealthy East Coast couple and the son of a prominent state official. The clone's creator, a now aging scientist, unlocked the secret of recreating the total human genome years before its present day advent, and circumvented the laws of God and man to clone Jesus Christ from a dated DNA sample. In the ensuing conflict, the lead defense attorney encounters unrelenting obstacles, which involve ransom demand and murder, and remains stalemated until climactic revelations occur. The prosecutor, compelled to maintain a near-perfect legal record, disregards moral values until startling evidence is discovered and an emotional encounter forces him to relinquish the fight. THE MASTER COPY constructs a web of associations, utilizing contemporary dialogue to develop the plot and draw the reader into the cathartic ending. However, its premise remains the most intriguing aspect, as it renews an awareness of the prophesized perils facing mankind at the end of the world, and raises the disquieting notion that this controversial story is conceivable
