Free Download James Gregory, "The Royal Throne of Mercy and British Culture in the Victorian Age"
English | ISBN: 1350142433 | 2020 | 288 pages | PDF | 12 MB
In the first detailed study of its kind, James Gregory’s book takes a historical approach to mercy by focusing on widespread and varied discussions about the quality, virtue or feeling of mercy in the British world during Victoria’s reign. Gregory covers an impressive range of themes from the gendered discourses of ’emotional’ appeal surrounding Queen Victoria to the exercise and withholding of royal mercy in the wake of colonial rebellion throughout the British empire. Against the backdrop of major events and their historical significance, a masterful synthesis of rich source material is analysed, including visual depictions (paintings and cartoons in periodicals and popular literature) and literary ones (in sermons, novels, plays and poetry).

English | 2007 | ISBN: 0071498877, 0071475079 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 2.3 mb
"The tale of Carl Wake and the hurricane that was waiting for him goes straight to the heart of the greatest sea stories: they are not about man against the sea, but man against himself. John Kretschmer’s book is as perfectly shaped and flawlessly written as such a story can be. In addition to being the best depiction I have ever read of what it is like to be inside a hurricane at sea, At the Mercy of the Sea is as moving a story of a man’s failure and redemption as can be found anywhere in the literature of the sea. This book is surely destined to become a classic."―Peter Nichols, author of Sea Change and A Voyage for Madmen

Free Download Ayatollah Sayed Muhammad al-Shirazi, "The Prophet Muhammad: A Mercy to the World"
English | 2005 | pages: 223 | ISBN: 1506188575, 1903323177 | PDF | 1,0 mb
The significance of this book lies in the fact it presents the role model to humanity in the person of the Prophet Muhammad who gave the best possible that can be given and sacrificed with all he had in order to guide humanity to the path that guarantees prosperity for it in this world and in the hereafter, and indeed he succeeded in doing so in the best possible manner. It is therefore not unexpected when non- Muslim intellectuals consider him to be the most influential person in the history of mankind, as the American scholar Michael H. Hart states in his work "The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History": "[Muhammad] was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels." The writer George Bernard-Shaw says: "I hold the religion of Muhammad in the highest esteem for its astounding vitality. It seems to me to be the only religion which is equipped to suit the changing faces of life and which is appropriate for all ages. I have studied the life of this amazing man and I believe that he deserves to be called the savior of the human race." And thus the prophet not only deserves to be a role model for humanity, but in fact he is the best role model mankind can ever find.

Free Download Philippa Byrne, "Justice and mercy: Moral theology and the exercise of law in twelfth-century England "
English | ISBN: 152612534X | 2018 | 304 pages | EPUB | 957 KB
This book examines one of the most fundamental issues in twelfth-century English politics: justice. It demonstrates that during the foundational period for the common law, the question of judgement and judicial ethics was a topic of heated debate – a common problem with multiple different answers. How to be a judge, and how to judge well, was a concern shared by humble and high, keeping both kings and parish priests awake at night. Using theological texts, sermons, legal treatises and letter collections, the book explores how moralists attempted to provide guidance for uncertain judges. It argues that mercy was always the most difficult challenge for a judge, fitting uncomfortably within the law and of disputed value. Shining a new light on English legal history, Justice and mercy reveals the moral dilemmas created by the establishment of the common law.
