The first reading and writing book

Margaret Hooton

The Highlands of Scotland are rich in folk-tales and Gerald Warner has collected and re-told over 60 of these stories, many of them never previously printed. This is history as it has been preserved in the memories of ordinary people - great events that have fundamentally changed the life of the Scottish nation, local catastrophes, clan feuds, ghostly visitations - all told and re-told around the peat fires in lonely crofts. Now the tradition is almost of the past, and in collecting and editing an important part of the remaining stories Gerald Warner has helped to preserve a rich oral inheritance. School-children of the Highlands have contributed line drawings.

A biography of Ramakrishna, who spent most of his adult life meditating and teaching in a temple on the banks of the Ganges near Calcutta. During his lifetime he was known to relatively few people but his disciples carried his message to the United States and Europe at the turn of the century.

Ramakrishna and His Disciples

ISHERWOOD, Christopher

This is part of an eight-volume series providing short biographies of men and women from Roman to Victorian times. Each entry places the subject in the context of their age and evokes what was distinctive and interesting about their personality and achievement. The biographies are arranged in a broadly chronological rather than alphabetical sequence so that the reader may easily browse from one contemporary to the next. The index, with its many cross-references, reveals further linkages between contemporaries. Each volume is a portrait of an age, presenting history in a biographical form which complements the conventional approach.

Reference

Sri Ramakrishna (1836-86) is regarded by his followers as an incarnation of God and he attracted a number of disciples, the best known in the West being Swami Vivekananda. Information about Ramakrishna's close disciples, who formed a monastic order after his death, has been available for some time, but little has been known about his close "householder" disciples, who continued to live as members of society performing their normal worldly duties while committing themselves to a deeply spiritual life. In 28 short biographies the author looks at Ramakrishna's principal lay disciples and shows how they exemplified various facets of their master's teaching. Moreover, this book presents a more complete picture of Ramakrishna himself, including many new stories about his life.
