It is a world of secrets, jealousies and lies, ruled by the Historian but smoothed over by the Magician, whose kindnesses and wisdom bring homely comfort and all-enveloping love to a ramshackle building that seems destined for chaos. And then one day the Magician is gone, Gloria is gone, and the Historian has spirited Hannah and her brothers away to a new and at first bewildering life in Perth. As Hannah grows and makes her own way through Australian life, an education and friendships, she begins to penetrate to the heart of one of the old house's greatest secrets - and to the meaning of her own existence.

In his earlier life he had been a Catholic priest, fluent in several languages, who taught philosophy and history in ecclesiatical colleges. He wrote over two hundred books and pamphlets and also translated a number of significant texts. McCabe was not just a non-believer - he was also an active campaigner against all forms of religious belief. In the opening chapter he writes: "I say the religion is in all forms useless, in most forms mischievious, in its Roman form one of the worst forces in the profound reaction which at present menaces civilization; and that materialistic Atheism is the best basis for a reconstruction of life."

The Quatrains of Omar Kheyyam of Nishapour The title of this collection reads "The quatrains of Omar Kheyyam of Nishapour. Now first completely done into English verse from the Persian, in accordance with the original forms, with a biographical and critical introduction by John Payne. London, "Printed for the Villon Society by private subscription and for private circulation only, 1898." Poet and translator, John Payne is known today for his translations of Persian classics like The Thousand and One Nights and the poetry of Hafiz. He also published a complete translation of the Decameron. In the introduction to this collection, which is probably the most extensive English translation of Khayyam's poetry, Payne takes issue with several previous translations. In particular he cites Whinfield's for its lack of poetic merit and Fitzgerald's for the extravagant liberties it takes with the original text. In its search for accuracy, Payne's own translation often features strained verbiage and use of archaic and unfamiliar English vocabulary.
