The Secret Life: Being The Book Of A Heretic is a book written by Elizabeth Bisland. The book is a memoir and tells the story of the author's journey of self-discovery and her questioning of the religious beliefs that she was raised with. Bisland was born into a family of devout Catholics, but as she grew older, she began to question the teachings of the church and explore other spiritual beliefs.The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of Bisland's journey. The first part focuses on her childhood and upbringing, and the ways in which her religious beliefs were instilled in her from a young age. The second part details her spiritual awakening and her exploration of other faiths, including Buddhism and Hinduism. The final part of the book recounts Bisland's decision to leave the Catholic Church and the ways in which this decision impacted her life.Throughout the book, Bisland is open and honest about her struggles with faith and her journey towards finding her own truth. She explores themes of spirituality, religion, and identity, and offers insights into the ways in which our beliefs can shape our lives.

"The very Devil's in the moon for mischief: There's not a day, the longest, not the twenty-first of June, Sees half the mischief in a quiet way On which three single hours of moonlight smile." At my age, alas! one no longer gets into mischief, either by moonlight or at midsummer, and yet to-day all the tricksey spirits of the invisible world are supposed to be abroad--tangling the horses' manes, souring the milkmaid's cream, setting lovers by the ears. Some such frisky Puck stirs even peaceable middle-aged blood at this season to mild little secret sins, such as beginning a diary in which to set down one's private naughty views--the heresies one has grown too staid and cautious to give speech to any longer. -- From first chapter.

In the course of the preparation of these volumes there was gradually accumulated so great a number of the letters written by Lafcadio Hearn during twenty-five years of his life, and these letters proved of so interesting a nature, that eventually the plan of the whole work was altered. The original intention was that they should serve only to illuminate the general text of the biography, but as their number and value became more apparent it was evident that to reproduce them in full would make the book both more readable and more illustrative of the character of the man than anything that could possibly be related of him.

In Seven Stages: A Flying Trap Around the World (1891) is a travel narrative by American journalist Elizabeth Bisland. When Bly¿s journey¿inspired by the travels of Phileas Fogg in Jules Verne¿s Around the World in Eighty Days (1873)¿was announced in Joseph Pulitzer¿s popular newspaper the New York World, Cosmopolitan sent a young reporter of its own to race Bly across the globe. At the time, readers at home were encouraged to estimate the hour and day of Bisland¿s arrival, generating national interest and launching a series of copycat adventures by ambitious voyagers over the next few decades. ¿My appetite for mystery at that hour of the day is always lamentably feeble, and it was nearly eleven before I found time to go and investigate this one, although the office in question was only a few minutes' walk from my residence. On arriving, the editor and owner of the magazine asked if I would leave New York that evening for San Francisco and continue from there around the world, endeavoring to complete the journey in some absurdly inadequate space of time.¿ Summoned from her life of work and leisure to undertake a several month journey around the world, Elizabeth Bisland rose to the occasion with courage and wit. Although Nellie Bly made it home five days before her¿perhaps due to some subterfuge on the part of her publisher¿Bisland took defeat in stride, writing an account filled with wonderful descriptions of her voyage. Ironic and self-effacing, Bisland¿s account, although less popular than Bly¿s, remains an essential work from the early days of tabloid entertainment and investigative journalism, a time when publishers were willing enough¿or wild enough¿to send correspondents on a globetrotting voyage in search of fame. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Elizabeth Bisland¿s In Seven Stages: A Flying Trap Around the World is a classic work of American travel literature reimagined for modern readers.
