Romance, treachery, courage… The Three Musketeers has it all!

The D'Artagnan Romances

The Three Musketeers

The year is 1866; the American Civil War is at its height. Five prisoners of war hatch an audacious plan to escape their camp by balloon. After a perilous 6,000-mile journey in a fierce storm, they are ‘shipwrecked’ on an unknown Pacific island. What follows is a thrilling tale of resourcefulness, courage and suspense. Together with our heroes we learn to hunt, to make weapons and pottery, to calculate our position by the sun, to extract iron and even to make explosives from the island’s remarkable natural resources. As in all Verne’s novels, the plot is packed with unexpected and tantalising mysteries – above all, who is the invisible benefactor who repeatedly saves our heroes from certain death?

The Mysterious Island

"Les Misérables is set in Paris after the French Revolution. In the sewers and backstreets we encounter ‘the wolf-like tread of crime’, and assassination for a few sous is all in a day’s work. We weep with the unlucky and heartbroken Fantine, and we exult with the heroic revolutionaries of the barricades; but above all we thrill to the steadfast courage and nobility of the soul of ex-convict Jean Valjean, always in danger from the relentless pursuit of the diabolical Inspector Javert."

Les Misérables

Young Julien Sorel, the son of a country timber merchant, carries a portrait of his hero Napoleon Bonaparte and dreams of military glory. A brilliant career in the Church leads him into Parisian high society, where, ‘mounted upon the finest horse in Alsace’, he gains high military office and wins the heart of the aristocratic Mlle Mathilde de la Mole. Julien’s cunning and ambition lead him into all sorts of scrapes, but it is the struggle between his passion for two beautiful women – the quixotic Mathilde and the loyal Mme de Rênal – which ultimately decides his destiny.

The Red and the Black : Abridged

Impoverished young aristocrat Eugène de Rastignac is determined to climb the social ladder and impress himself on Parisian high society. While staying at the Maison Vauquer, a boarding house in Paris’s rue Neuve-Sainte-Geneviève, he encounters Jean-Joachim Goriot, a retired vermicelli maker who has spent his entire fortune supporting his two daughters. The boarders strike up a friendship and Goriot learns of Rastignac’s feelings for his daughter Delphine. He begins to see Rastignac as the ideal son-in-law, and the perfect substitute for Delphine’s domineering husband. But Rastignac has other opportunities too, as the notorious criminal Vautrin, ‘The Death Dodger’, offers to murder the brother of a wealthy woman, giving the ambitious young lawyer a clear path to her fortune... Profound and realistic, Father Goriot is a startling glimpse into the vanity and selfishness of 19th-century Paris. It is considered one of the finest works of Balzac’s La Comédie humaine.

We have met the intrepid hunter-tracker Allan Quatermain before, in Rider Haggard’s marvellous King Solomon’s Mines. This time, grieving from the tragic loss of his son, Quatermain longs to return to his beloved Africa. He sets out in search of a lost white tribe, the Zu-Vendis, ruled by two beautiful sister Queens. Once again, Quatermain’s companions are the indefatigable Sir Henry Curtis and Captain Good, and the magnificent Zulu warrior Umslopogaas. The journey is incredibly dangerous, and thrillingly told. After a fantastic underground journey by canoe, our heroes are embroiled in a bloody civil war when both queens fall in love with the irresistibly handsome Curtis.

Allan Quatermain

King Solomon’s Mines is set in nineteenth-century Africa. Allan Quartermain, hunter, is commissioned by the valiant Sir Henry Curtis and his jovial friend Captain Good to lead them to the fabled lost mines of King Solomon. In the company of these dauntless men we undertake the most exciting safari ever described. We hunt big game, we go to war with the terrifying King Twala of Kukuanaland and his diabolical henchwoman Gagaoola – and are amazed by the twist at the end.

King Solomon's Mines

When Lolita’s family faces ruin and accusations of treason, Zorro must step in to save her family and her honour. But who is this masked caballero? With action aplenty, The Mark of Zorro (also known as The Curse of Capistrano) is an exciting tale of adventure and romance that has charmed generations of readers and filmgoers alike.

The Count of Monte Cristo is a tale of revenge and retribution. Edmond Dantès, a young, energetic sailor, is falsely accused of treason on his wedding day and incarcerated in the forbidding Château d’If. His escape and ultimate revenge on those who wronged him makes this one of the most thrilling stories in French literature, as compelling now as when it was first published in 1846.

With his adopted son, Leo, he sets out on a brave journey, following a trail of clues. Shipwrecked and captured by cannibals, their voyage soon turns into a nightmare. This masterpiece of suspense and adventure, by the author of King Solomon’s Mines, contains some of the most sensual, gently erotic passages in 19th-century literature.

GENESIS ANTARCTICA - The Complete Zandernatis Trinity Taking the visionary epic, forbidden history and conspiracy to new levels Genesis Antarctica is a multi-faceted work “based on ancient documents discovered under the Antarctic ice in 1962 by the Australian Vostok Traverse Expedition”. Known as the “Haakon Urn” texts, these unique writings pre-date all other early civilizations (including legendary Atlantis, Lemuria and Mu) by several tens of thousands of years. Its core heroic saga based on “The Song of Gorin”, one of the few literary documents among the texts, evokes the “Architects of Civilization”, the role they played in defining “Paradise” for their children and the pivotal challenge to its survival that led to an inevitable demise. This monumental narrative is presented as a gripping saga , in which a lone protagonist awakens in the “Paradise Garden” knowing nothing but his own name. After a series of adventures, he arrives in Zandernatis – the “Golden City” He discovers that while he knows nothing of his own origins, everyone in Zandernatis clearly remembers every detail of all their previous lives. Fulfilling ancient prophesies, the ageing King sends Gorin on a quest to find and recall the heir to the “Winged Throne” who was enticed from his ancestral, fortified home by compelling dreams that had plagued him for many months. Guided by a fabulous unihorn, Gorin ultimately meets the “Lords of Creation”, setting in motion events that culminate in an apocalyptic battle to save Zandernatis from being overrun by an indigenous army, spurred on by swarms of “evil allies”. The outcome of this conflict reveals the true nature of the “Fall from Grace” described in the Biblical Genesis written several millennia after the “Song of Gorin” and totally misinterpreted ever since. This ongoing storyline is interwoven with insights into the far-reaching repercussions the discovery in Antarctica and its implications are having on our own 21st century society. These include: •	Reports of the initial find in the international press. •	The unique characteristics of an ancient society that made religion redundant. •	Bitter rivalries within Editorial teams on making the texts’ sensational content public. •	Echoes of the pre-glacial civilization in Australian Aboriginal “Dreamtime” mythology. •	Reports from the Swiss PLMRI Research Institute on its hunt for subjects with past life memories set in temperate Antarctica. •	Martha Calbrow’s unique “Dreaming Diary” recording her initial Out of Body Experience and vision of time spinning backwards, together with corroborative descriptions of events described in the Haakon texts. •	The reincarnation debate in social media sparked by the Haakon revelations, plus examples of vehement repudiation from religious conservatives. •	The emergence of a "Neo-Zandernatist" movement designed to promote the principles behind the ancient writings. •	A sensational discovery in 2013, solving a 37 year old mystery and revealing a concerted conspiracy (with intimations of CIA involvement) to keep the Haakon findings out of the public arena. All of this material, with its broad scope, variety and contrasted approaches is only the beginning… of what every individual reader may make of it… For we should never forget that Genesis Antarctica is "as real as you need it to be".

Genesis Antarctica

It is the year 778. The mighty French army, led by Emperor Charlemagne, confronts Saracen forces in the bloody Battle of Roncevaux Pass. In the course of this thrilling epic poem we follow the emperor’s hot-headed nephew Roland into battle. We are privy to the deal struck between the Saracen king Marsilie and Roland’s conniving stepfather Guene. We see both armour and bodies split by the blows of lances and swords, horses fall, and the heroic brotherhood of soldiery tested to its limit. At Charlemagne’s command, even priests go to war. The story builds to a nail-biting climax – when a single trumpeting blast on an elephant’s horn changes the course of history. All this and more is to be found in this magnificent tale of faith, honour, courage – and treachery.

The Song of Roland

Brothers Philippe and Joseph Bridau are completely unalike: Philippe, braggart and soldier, formerly aide-de-camp to Napoleon, is their mother Agathe’s favourite; Joseph, a poor and aspiring artist, is raised in his brother’s shadow. When Agathe is reduced to poverty and Philippe accrues gambling debts, the family join forces to focus their attentions on Agathe’s brother, Jean-Jacques Rouget, heir to the family fortune. The struggle for his inheritance pits the family against Rouget’s beautiful maid Flore (‘La Rabouilleuse’), the apple of her master’s eye, and her lover, the crafty and manipulative Maxence. Will the greedy Philippe’s efforts save the family, or prove to be their undoing? Will the talented Joseph achieve the acclaim he deserves in the salons of Paris? All is revealed in the thrilling and compassionate denouement of this wonderful book. Also known as The Black Sheep and The Two Brothers, La Rabouilleuse is one of the Scènes de la vie de province in Balzac’s La Comédie humaine.

La Rabouilleuse [The Black Sheep; The Two Brothers]

Assisted by a coterie of allies and the native Cocopah tribe, Don Diego seeks to establish his innocence and unmask the evil imposter.

He leaves a trail of broken hearts behind him, only to discover… but that would spoil the story ? you must listen and see! This great English classic is brought to life by Bill Homewood’s lively reading.

Tom Jones

The Further Adventures of Zorro

In the brutal Prussian winter of 1807, Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte’s Grande Armée suffered massive losses to the Russians in the Battle of Eylau. Many thousands died.

Chabert’s relentless, passionate pursuit of justice, supported by the determined young lawyer Derville, is gripping to the last page. This exquisitely written story has it all: love, hatred, treachery, hope and courage.

The Red and the Black

The Man in the Iron Mask continues the adventures of the dauntless heroes of The Three Musketeers – Aramis, Athos, Porthos and d’Artagnan. In old age their swashbuckling ought to have been replaced by a more gentle way of life, but the veteran warriors find themselves at the centre of a plot in which both hearts and heads are broken, and the very throne of France is at stake.

The Man in the Iron Mask

The Four Just Men, in this second of Wallace’s ingenious series of thrillers, pit themselves against The Red Hundred, an organisation dedicated to international anarchy, led by the charismatic, mysterious and beautiful assassin, the Woman of Gratz. As always, the avengers’ methods are meticulously planned and ruthlessly executed.

The Council of Justice

In the grotesque bell-ringer Quasimodo, Victor Hugo created one of the most vivid characters in classic fiction. Quasimodo’s doomed love for the beautiful gypsy girl Esmeralda is an example of the traditional love theme of beauty and the beast. Yet, set against the massive background of Notre Dame de Paris and interwoven with the sacred and secular life of medieval France, it takes on a larger perspective. The characters come to life: the poet Gringoire, the tormented priest Claude Frollo, the fun-loving captain Phoebus and above all Quasimodo and Esmeralda themselves. It is a tale peppered with humour but fuelled by the anguish which unfolds beneath the bells of the great cathedral of Paris.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Step aboard for perhaps the nearest thing to a ride on a ghost train: a thrilling trip into the murky world that lies deep beneath the vast opera house in Paris, famously haunted by a mysterious phantom. Despite a series of terrifying and deadly accidents backstage, the gorgeous voice of divine young diva Christine Daaé is soaring with each performance to ever greater heights of beauty – but why? Who is teaching her? Her adoring lover Raoul fears he is losing her to a force he cannot comprehend. A tale of shadows, fear, horror – and tenderness.

The Phantom of the Opera

The four dauntless comrades in arms from The Three Musketeers and The Man in the Iron Mask are reunited in this extraordinary tale. Dumas brilliantly weaves the story into the tapestry of both French and English history. In Paris the four protect Queen Anne and the young Louis XIV from swelling revolution. In England they take on the ambitious Oliver Cromwell. Once again we are treated to the ring of swords, hearts are won or lost, and revenge is sweet. In one of the most satisfying finishes in literature the four heroes fulfil their dreams, Athos, Porthos and Aramis retreating to a graceful retirement and D’Artagnan, rewarded with the promotion he has dreamt of for two decades, ready for new adventures.

Twenty Years After

Undoubtedly one of the most celebrated tales of all time, this is both high-octane thriller and fascinating travelogue. Phileas Fogg, intrepid Victorian gentleman-about-town, accepts a wager that he cannot travel around the world in 80 days. Naturally, he immediately sets off, accompanied by his French manservant Passepartout. They are pursued by a police officer, Detective Fix, who is foolishly convinced that Fogg is a bank robber. Much hilarity ensues. On the way, Fogg bravely rescues Aouda, a beautiful Indian princess, from a ceremony of ritual sacrifice. Unexpectedly, our thriller becomes a love story.

The Four Just Men

Lovers of legends know that this is the finest retelling of the story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table; lovers of literature know that this is the greatest of all 19th- century narrative poems. In Tennyson’s gloriously written tale of swashbuckling feats on and off the jousting field, the honour of maidens, knights, queens and kings is won or lost. Above all, the Quest for the Holy Grail spurs the bravest of knights on to deeds of terrifying foolhardiness and courage. Lovers of epic poems will also enjoy Bill Homewood’s recordings of Le Morte d’Arthur and The Song of Roland.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame : Abridged

ZANDERNATIS - PRE-DESTINATION INTRODUCING A NEW LITERARY GENRE - THE META-REALIST ALLEGORY Facts stifled for 50 years revealed at last! In 1962 a cache of ancient urns was discovered in Antarctica dating back tens of thousands of years. They contained writings proving our ancestral myths and lore are actually rooted in the history and culture of a pre-glacial utopian civilization... “Zandernatis - Predestination” sets the scene and describes the opening of the most fascinating story contained in these texts: “The Song of Gorin”, an epic poem describing what really led up to the “Fall of Man” in “Paradise”. Initially, it reads like a fable – except that here it is backed by robust corroborative evidence and endorsements from researchers, the media and eminent experts, despite establishment efforts to block publication. “Legends” suddenly become plausible! Volume One of the Trinity breaks the silence, laying the foundations of this multi-faceted revelation, combining •	alternative history •	conspiracy theory •	allegorical fantasy •	suppressed archaeology •	past life memory research Via a wealth of material: •	Substantial "retold" extracts from the epic "Song of Gorin" - the most revealing narrative discovered among the Haakon Urn writings. •	Transcription of a BBC Radio 4 interview with Gordon Keirle-Smith discussing his role in the project. •	Press cuttings from the international press announcing the discovery of the urns •	An article revealing the influence of pre-glacial civilization in Australian aboriginal culture •	A chronology of the Zandernation kings covering 3,000 years •	An article on Areligionism in Zandernation society •	The hunt for subjects with past life memories of Zandernatis, carried out by the PLMRI (Past Life Research Memory Institute) based in Lucerne, Switzerland •	A comprehensive bibliography of all the documents discovered in the Haakon Urns. And all of this in a single work – defining the format of this new genre: the meta-realist allegory. This work puts forward a viable alternative to the Genesis, Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve, Fall of Man myth. Viability backed by hieroglyphic and archaeological research, the deciphering of ancient manuscripts and controversial revelations. The links with aboriginal legends also reveal evidence of migration from Antarctica to Australia and Patagonia as the "great white continent" cooled. Past Life Regression is evoked in connection with this civilization in a search to find subjects with memories of living in an advanced pre-glacial civilization. We discover that reincarnation and recollection of previous lives played an important role in Zandernation society. As a result this was the only civilization in the history of the world that did not need religions, Gods, priests, temples or any other places of worship. Zandernatis is a redefinition of "utopia" that can also set us on a path of self-discovery, opening our potential to see beyond the "here and now", discover the "there and then" and ultimately catch a glimpse of the eternal NOW.

Zandernatis - Volume One - Pre-Destination

ZANDERNATIS - DESTINATION EXPLORE THE NEW LITERARY GENRE - META-REALIST ALLEGORY Facts stifled for 50 years revealed at last! This second (standalone) book in the Zandernatis Trinity is an excellent place to start discovering the world of "Zandernatis" - Where Legends Were Born. These books "retell" the epic "Song of Gorin", one of the many texts contained in the mysterious "Haakon Urns" discovered under the Antarctic ice in 1962 and kept under wraps until now. The documents, dating back to a pre-glacial era when Antarctica was in more temperate latitudes, reveal the existence of a world whose peoples laid the foundations of all the myths and legends that have persisted in our collective consciousness ever since. These include legends of the Fall and tales of an enigmatic angel civilization. In a heroic quest to find the heir to the winged throne of Zandernatis, Gorin sets out to cross the terrifying Forest of Dissemblance and Deserts of Jerah in the company of an archetypal guide upon which all of our Unicorn lore is based. As in the previous volume, the ancient narrative is accompanied by robust corroborative evidence and compelling endorsements from researchers, the media and eminent experts, despite unrelenting efforts from the establishment to block publication. “Legends” can finally be seen in their true perspective! This re-telling of the “Song of Gorin” forms the foundation of this multi-faceted revelation, combining; •	alternative history •	allegorical fantasy •	past life memory testimonials •	fundamentalist condemnation •	an “academic conspiracy” Via a wealth of material: •	Substantial "retold" extracts from the epic "Song of Gorin" saga– one of the few narrative documents contained in the Haakon Urn writings. In “Destination” Gorin braves the dangers beyond the Paradise Garden in his quest for the heir to the winged throne of Zandernatis – and meets the legendary “Architects of Civilization”. •	Based on the British Antarctic Survey, researchers identify the probable location of all the places and landmarks described in “Zandernatis”. •	Transcription of a BBC 2 television interview with Professor J. Harkwood in which he explains why he is so adamantly opposed to the Haakon Urn texts being published as “cheap sensationalism for the masses”. •	The reincarnation debate on the web: Extracts from a Chat Forum and a Catholic Fundamental website •	A fascinating insight into “Zandernatis and the origins of archetypes”. All of this is contained in a single work – defining the format of this new genre: the meta-realist allegory. This work puts forward a viable alternative to the Genesis, Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve, Fall of Man myth. In particular, we discover that reincarnation and recollection of previous lives played an important role in Zandernation society. As a result this was the only civilization in the history of the world that did not need religions, Gods, priests, temples or any other places of worship. Zandernatis is a redefinition of "utopia" that can also set us on a path of self-discovery, opening our potential to see beyond the "here and now", discover the "there and then" and ultimately catch a glimpse of the eternal NOW.

Zandernatis - Volume Two - Destination

ZANDERNATIS - APOTHEOSIS TAKING META-REALIST ALLEGORY TO NEW HEIGHTS! Stifled for 50 years - the facts behind the "Fall of Man" The Zandernatis Trinity, based on the ancient Haakon Urn texts discovered under the Antarctic ice in 1962, culminates with the events described in the epic "Song of Gorin" saga that shaped the future of a whole civilization - and ultimately our own. For they laid the foundations of the myths and legends from which most of the world's folklore, beliefs and religions subsequently evolved. Furthermore, the unique characteristics of this new literary genre also enable us to keep pace with the fast moving events following the disclosures that burst upon the world with the publication of the first Zandernatis book, "Pre-Destination", in April 2014. By embracing the vision, we contribute to its manifestation. In this volume, the ancient narrative relates the "Great Battle" as the Golden City is attacked by indigenes from beyond the frontiers of "Paradise" backed by their "evil allies" and Gorin's role in challenging them. While in parallel, we learn how Professor Gregson and Gordon Keirle-Smith were finally able to publish their work and allow a secretive "Order" that had been waiting for these events to announce its presence to a needful world. The Apotheosis featured in the "Song of Gorin" and its multi-faceted ancillary material combine; •	alternative history •	allegorical fantasy •	manifestations of the Zandernatis ethos •	initiatives to expand its influence •	visions of a new world Order Via a wealth of material: •	Substantial "retold" extracts from the epic "Song of Gorin" saga - in which Gorin returns to the Golden City, the "Lord Protectors" are summoned to repel the forces of evil and he finally rediscovers his true identity. •	Sensational disclosures concerning the "stolen" Haakon Urn texts •	The origins of the NZO and its emergence into light with the publication of its "Manifesto" •	A contentious legal struggle over the copyright to the Haakon Urn texts •	Initiatives to integrate the Zandernatis ethos into "popular" culture "Apotheosis" completes this three part viable alternative to the Genesis, Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve, Fall of Man myth. Everything falls into place with an inevitability totally in line with both this ancient civilization's characteristic areligionism and our present need to define our own individual belief systems. It reflects and further endorses previous statements that Zandernatis is a redefinition of "utopia" that can also set us on a path of self-discovery, opening our potential to see beyond the "here and now", discover the "there and then" and ultimately catch a glimpse of the eternal NOW.
