This book explains the ancient art of numerology for the purpose of self awareness and understanding, and for prediction of and preparation for the future. The goal is the detection of certain cyclically recurring patterns in a person's life, the establishment of the pattern cycles, and the discovery of what sets them off. With this book in hand the reader will be able to "do" his or her own numbers and the numbers of others, to make compatibility charts, and to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of any relationship. In short, this book will teach you to become a numerologist yourself. An excellent reference and well written.

After twelve years a young woman returns home to settle accounts with her doformed twin sister Laura. But Laura is inexplicably absent, and the visiting daughter's parents are enmeshed in their own emotional warfare. With the deceptive simplicity that has become Molinaro's literary hallmark, the stage is set for an explosive confrontation as the parents and visiting daughter take their positions around the traditional family table, with its centerpiece, an elegant arrangement of white roses.

This novel tells the Homeric story of Troy from the perspective of the woman who was condemned not to be believed -- the perfect spokesperson for a contemporary feminist novel. Written with Molinaro's typical flair for concision, Cassandra is second only to the classic Positions with White Roses as Molinaro's best novel. And Molinaro has been sensitive to readers whose knowledge of Greek mythology is imperfect (meaning most of us) by providing a witty glossary of the mortals and gods who people this dramatic and subversive story of courage and sacrifice.

In a yearly ritual the citizens of ancient Athens chased a couple in wedding regalia through the streets under a hail of stones, to shouts of "Out with sickness and famine! In with health and wealth!" The broken bodies were left to decompose outside the city gates. Normally the victims would come from among society's downtrodden or outcasts, and exchange their lives for a year of luxury at the city's expense. But in defiance of tradition, and as an expression of protest, a poet from an aristocratic family volunteers her flawless 30-year-old body. This is her story.

The New Moon With the Old Moon in Her Arms: A True Story Assembled from Scholarly Hearsay

Everyone knows the tragedy of Oedipus, from his answer to the Sphinx to his pitiable blind exile, from his intended death as an infant to his terror of oracles. But who knows of Jocasta -- the mother from whom he was torn, the wife to whom he was joined -- as anything other than a plaything of kings and gods? In this richly imagined novel, Ursule Molinaro brings Jocasta to the fore, allowing her to reclaim rightful significance as matrilineal Queen of Thebes, a dreamer of shared power. Ruler, mother, lover -- defiant of gods' wrath -- Jocasta becomes an intelligent and compassionate actor, as well as a courageous person helplessly caught in a conflict of totem and taboo. The voices of Jocasta and the sex-changing palace seer Tiresias, along with the letters of Oedipus and Antigone, combine to tell of these thirty-seven years in the endless history of the seven-gated city: how, by marrying her son, Jocasta became the woman without whom Oedipus has no story.
