Download or read book Scarabs written by Isaac Myer and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scarabs is a historiography by Isaac Myer. It depicts the manufacture and symbolism of the Scarabaeus in Ancient Egypt, Phoenicia and Sardinia. This study has as its basis a more philosophical treatment of the meaning of the scarabæus as a symbol, in the religious metaphysic conception of it by the Ancient Egyptians. At the period when we first meet with the symbol of the scarabæus in Egypt, it was already the symbol and tangible expression of an elevated religious idea, embracing that of a future life of the human soul, a resurrection of it from the dead, and most likely, of a reward or punishment to it in the future life, based on its conduct when in the terrestrial life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by S. S. Van Dine was originally published in 1930 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introduction. 'The Scarab Murder Case' is one of Van Dine's novels of crime and mystery. S. S. Van Dine was born Willard Huntington Wright in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1888. He attended St. Vincent College, Pomona College and Harvard University, but failed to graduate, leaving to cultivate contacts he had made in the literary world. At the age of twenty-one, Wright began his professional writing career as literary editor of the Los Angeles Times. In 1926, Wright published his first S. S. Van Dine novel, The Benson Murder Case. Wright went on to write eleven more mysteries. The first few books about his upper-class amateur sleuth, Philo Vance, were so popular that Wright became wealthy for the first time in his life. His later books declined in popularity as the reading public's tastes in mystery fiction changed, but during the late twenties and early thirties his work was very successful.
