(This book is known in the UK as Heritage of the Star) Noren can see that his world is not as it should be--it is wrong that only the Scholars, and their representatives the Technicians, can use metal tools and Machines. It's wrong that only those few have access to the impenetrable City, which he has always longed to enter. Above all, it is wrong for the Scholars to have sole power over the distribution of knowledge. Unable to believe in the Prophecy that promises these restrictions will someday end, he declares it to be a fraud and defies the High Lew under which they are enforced. His family and the girl to whom he is betrothed reject him. Yet he cannot turn back from the path that leads him to the mysterious fate awaiting heretics. This classic science fiction novel is enjoyed by readers age 12 and up as well as by teens and adults who go on to read the other two books in the Children of the Star trilogy. Originally published in hardcover by Atheneum in the US and by Gollancz in the UK under the title Heritage of the Star, it was the winner of a Christopher Award given for "affirmation of the highest values of the human spirit."

It was wrong that only they had access to the mysterious City, which he had always longed to enter. Above all, it was wrong for the Scholars to have sole power over the distribution of knowledge. The High Law imposed these restrictions and many others, though the Prophecy promised that someday knowledge and Machines would be available to everyone. Noren was a heretic. He defied the High Law, and had no faith in the Prophecy's fulfillment. But was defiance enough, or could some way be found to make it come true? This classic science fiction novel — Book One of the Children of the Star Trilogy — is enjoyed by readers age 12 and up, as well as by older teens and adults who go on to read the entire trilogy. Originally published in 1972 by Atheneum in the U.S. and by Gollancz in the U.K. under the title Heritage of the Star, it was the winner of a Christopher Award, given for "affirmation of the highest values of the human spirit."

Abide With Me:From thePulitzer Prize-winning authorof Olive Kitteridge From the bestselling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Olive Kitteridge,this is a startlingly beautiful novel about love and abandonment, faith and hypocrisy – and the peril of family secrets. ‘Deeply moving... In one beautiful page after another, Strout captures the mysterious combinations of hope and sorrow.’ The Washington Post Katherine is only five years old. Struck dumb with grief at her mother's death, it is down to her father, the heartbroken minister Tyler Caskey, to bring his daughter out of silence. But Tyler is barely surviving himself. Since Lauren's death he struggles to find the right words for his sermons – how can he be a leader to his congregation when he himself is lost? When Katherine's teacher calls to discuss his daughter's anti-social behaviour, it sparks a chain of events that begins to tear down Tyler's defences. The small-town rumour-mill has much to make of Katherine's odd behaviour, and even more to say about Tyler's relationship with his housekeeper. In Tyler's darkest hour, a startling discovery will test his congregation's humanity - and his own will to endure the kinds of trials that sooner or later test us all. Praise for Elizabeth Strout ‘Astonishingly good’ Evening Standard 'So good it gave me goosebumps.’Sunday Times ‘Strout animates the ordinary with astonishing force.’ The New Yorker 'A superbly gifted storyteller and a craftswoman in a league of her own.' Hilary Mantel ‘Graceful and moving.’ People

Download Reflections on Enchantress from the Stars and Other Essays Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Here are the author's collected essays about her Newbery Honor book Enchantress from the Stars and other Young Adult and adult science fiction novels, plus two autobiographical essays. Her comments on Enchantress deal with issues she would like all its readers to be aware of. This is one of three books of essays that replace Reflections on the Future: Collected Essays, which has grown too long and covers too many topics. Most of the essays included appeared there, so if you already have that book you don't need this one. The other two replacement books, including a number of new essays, are focused on space and on the human mind.

Download Selected Essays on Enchantress from the Stars and More Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The lead essay in this cellection by the author of Newbery honor book Enchantress from the Stars deals with issues that she wants readers of the novel to be aware of. Too often misinterpretations arise when the story is thought to be an allegory about relations between different cultures of our own world, when it is literally about possible relations between different "human" species of other worlds that have evolved for vastly different lengths of time. The two situations are not comparable, and assuming that they are leads some readers to think the book endorses a view of cultural relations that was rejected by anthropologists long ago. Though much in the story does apply to relationships between individual people of our world, as far as culture is concerned its aim is to counter the all-too-common science fiction view of extraterrestrial aliens either as hostile or as benevolent beings who will step in to solve Earth's problems. Whether or not there really are any aliens, how young people think of them affects how rhey feel about the future of humankind. The rest of the essays in this book are about the author's other Young Adult novels and about subjects relevant to them such as the importance of space exploration and the reality of psi powers. They have been selected from her collections Reflections on Enchantress from the Stars and Other Essays, the Future of Being Human and Other Essays, and From This Green Earth: Essays on Looking Outward, two of which are available only as ebooks. Because of their length these collections cannot be issued as paperbacks at reasonable prices, so this short sampler has been produced for the benefit of readers who have a strong preference for print books and/or audioboox. The following essays are included. Reflections on Enchantress from the Stars Perspective on the Future: The Quest of Space Age Young People Faith as the Focus of Children of the Star Update on the Critical Stage: The Far Side of Evil's Relevance Today A Response to Some Reactions to Journey Between Worlds Breaking Out from Earth's Shell The Role of Psi in Human Affairs The Roots of Disbelief in Human Mind Powers Transhumanism Is a Dead End The Worship of Medical Authority Why I Don‟t Read Much Science Fiction

An omnibus edition containing the complete trilogy This Star Shall Abide (aka Heritage of the Star), Beyond the Tomorrow Mountains, and The Doors of the Universe. Noren knew that his world was not as it should be--it was wrong that only the Scholars, and their representatives the Technicians, could use metal tools and Machines. It was wrong that only they had access to the mysterious City, which he had always longed to enter. Above all, it was wrong for the Scholars to have sole power over the distribution of knowledge. The High Law imposed these restrictions and many others, though the Prophecy promised that someday knowledge and Machines would be available to everyone. Noren was a heretic. He defied the High Law and had no faith in the Prophecy's fulfillment. But the more he learned of the grim truth about his people's deprivations, the less possible it seemed that their world could ever be changed. It would take more drastic steps than anyone imagined to restore their rightful heritage. Although these three novels were originally published in hardcover as Young Adult books, the second and third are primarily of interest to older teens and adults; the omnibus edition was therefore issued as adult science fiction. The first novel, This Star Shall Abide (known in the UK as Heritage of the Star) is also available separately and as an audiobook. Please note: The cover of this 2013 edition was changed in June 2015. It is not a new edition, as the book itself has not changed.
