Ancient egyptian legends. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Margaret Alice Murray   -  Edizioni Aurora Boreale, 2018  - 

Ancient Egiptian Legends is not a simple essay on the Egyptian mythology and religion, or on the mysteries and the secrets of a great ancient civilization, like many today can be found in bookstores. It's a real journey of initiation, supported by historical rigor and competence of its author, a historian and archaeologist who devoted all her life in search of the most authentic roots of human civilization on Earth and to the discovery of the most genuine Western Tradition and spirituality.Margaret Alice Murray was a famous and unforgotten Anglo-Indian egyptologist, archaeologist, anthropologist, historian, and folklorist. The first woman to be appointed as a lecturer in Archaeology in the United Kingdom, she worked at University College London (UCL) from 1898 to 1935, served as President of the Folklore Society from 1953 to 1955, and published widely over the course of her extraordinary career.Murray's work in Egyptology and Archaeology was widely acclaimed and earned her the moniker of “The Grand Old Woman of Egyptology”, although after her death many of her contributions to the field were overshadowed by those of Petrie.

The merry order of St. Bridget. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Margaret Anson   -  Erotic Ebooks, 2012  - 

"The Merry Order of St. Bridget" or "Personal Recollections of the Use of the Rod" by Margaret Anson is a classic Victorian erotic novel, published in 1869. It contains graphic sexual descriptions and themes. “Good,” said Lady C-; “prepare her.” It was very little trouble to do that-only to fasten up the short tunic to her shoulders, and her beautiful figure was fully revealed. “Have you ever, except on the night you speak of, witnessed the discipline of the rod being administered?” “I have.” “And you like it?” “I do, and wish to see more of the practice, under the auspices of the Merry Order of St. Bridget.” “Then you confess to a passion for the rod, Mademoiselle?” “I do.” “And will submit to whatever punishment the sisters choose to inflict for the crime of secretly watching their proceedings?” “I will!” Madlle. St. Kitts bowed, and Lady C-beckoned me, and bade me prepare her once more for the rod. “What, more whipping!” she muttered in a low tone; but she made no remonstrance nor attempt to resist.
