In 1902, celebrated novelist and adventurer Jack London disguised himself and plunged into the dark heart of Londons East End to live among the citys poorest inhabitants. The People of the Abyss is his unflinching, first-hand account of the hunger, filth, and despair endured by thousands who were invisible to the glittering world of Edwardian society.With the vividness of a journalist and the passion of a social reformer, London exposes the brutal realities of overcrowded slums, exploitative labor, and the slow erosion of human dignity. More than a work of reportage, this book is a cry for justice, a portrait of resilience, and a stark reminder of the human cost of inequality.A landmark in social documentary literature, The People of the Abyss remains as relevant today as it was over a century ago, speaking directly to contemporary debates on poverty, class, and survival in modern cities.Jack London (18761916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. Rising from poverty, he became one of the most widely read authors of his time, celebrated for adventure classics like The Call of the Wild and White Fang. Beyond fiction, London wrote powerful works of social critique, including The People of the Abyss, blending vivid storytelling with a deep concern for justice and human struggle.

One Sunday in Yvetot, August 1950. Annie is playing outside in the sun. Her mother steps out of the grocery to chat with a customer, a few metres from her. The two womens conversation is perfectly audible; its scraps become etched forever in Annies memory. Before she was born, her parents had another daughter. She died at the age of six from diphtheria. Annie will never hear another word from her parents about this unknown sister, nor will she ask them a single question about her: their family unit has formed in the image of its vanished predecessor.

Strayer, Annie Ernaux explores the meaning of this family secret, and the insurmountable distance that separates the two sisters.

Possibly, this work is destinedsure as fateto become the least read of all Osteopathy books.We already know that the world has fewer and fewer readers (and, conversely, more and more consumers of 15-second videos, promptly forgotten within the next 2 minutes).Worse still, if we were to tell those few remaining readers that the book they hold in their hands is a resounding call into the desert of reflection, of thought, and of philosophy, their interest in reading it would surely diminish even further.BUTIf there is an Osteopath, Therapist, or Healer willing to plunge into the depths of these pages, we can promise that such an in-dividual will emerge from these turbulent waters utterly transformed, challenged, refined, and carrying a new revelation.It is time to recycle much of what we have believed about Osteopathy.This book is not for just any cheerful taxpayer; it is a summons that will only be answered by strong, perceptive minds seeking their highest expression as Osteopaths and Healers.Let the flame be lit once more

Robert Crosbie (1849-1919) was a Canadian theosophist, initiate and philosopher, founder of the United Lodge of Theosophists (ULT).Among his most important works, we remember The Friendly Philosopher. Letters and Talks on Theosophy and the Theosophical Life (The Theosophy Company, Los Angeles 1934); Answers to Questions on The Ocean of Theosophy (The Theosophy Company, Los Angeles 1933); Notes on The Bhagavad-Gita, with William Quan Judge (The Theosophy Company, Los Angeles 1955).The Crosbies article The Origin of Evil, which we propose to our readers today, was published posthumously in the Theosophy Magazine in June 1922.According to Crosbie, Christian theology holds that evil entered the world through the sin of the first man, who ate from the tree of forbidden fruit. All men sinned in Adam, and because of Adams sin, every other being is and has been a sinner. Oddly enough, this first man was created by a Higher Being in His image, or, in other words, perfect; yet, he was unable to refrain from doing what had been forbidden him. Thus, in the very first being created in the image of the "Supreme", there was a tendency to do evil!.
