Splendor of Malta SpendorMalta
by Shirley Johnston (Author),
Marquess Anthony Cassar de Sain (Photographer)
Hardcover - 2001
This sumptuous book takes us into this extraordinary architecture and into the equally extraordinary lives of those who brought it into being-- the Knights of the Order of St. John. Here we are given an intimate glimpse of the Grandmaster's Palace-- a sumptuous residence by any standard, housing one of the world's greatest armories and a collection of priceless works of art; we are taken through Fort St. Angelo, once a critical bastion against the Ottoman onslaught; into the Bishop's Palace, with its lush orange groves, planted, by Bishop Cagliares himself, back in 1622; and we are shown grandeur and beauty, in St. John's Church-- designed by Gerolamo Cassar.

LITERATURE & FICTION

Death in Malta.-coverDeath in Malta ~ Usually ships in 4-6 weeks
Rosanne Dingli / Hardcover / published September 2000
An Australian novelist visits Malta, where he stumbles on a mystery. A missing child becomes the subject of his writing, but his investigations are fraught with difficulty. What is he to do with the sealed jars in his cellar? Does one contain a little corpse? His romance with a Maltese woman can either restore or ruin his career, but who is the unexpected female visitor who comes to his rented house outside a dusty remote village? The village parish priest shows veiled antagonism, countered by real friendship struck with an alcoholic doctor. When opening the jars leads to a dramatic climax, the writer is dealt another blow, and the village is once more hit by a mysterious death. Life is not a novel, Mr Worthington, in which everything is resolved by the last twenty pages. There are some things we were never meant to know and never will know,’ says the parish priest. But there are questions that must be answered, and Worthington determines to find solutions before he leaves Malta.


Poignant and moving, punctuated by comical scenes and passionate interludes, Death in Malta is a powerful novel of love and loss, disappointment and dislocation curiosity and consequences

People of the Temples - Menaidra
Linda C. Eneix / Paperback / Published 1997
People of the TemplesOur Price: $7.99 (Special Order, but often 2-3 days)
Book Description
A novel of an ancient time (ca.2500 BCE) when the age of megalithic temple-builders was coming to close. Based on actual archaeological evidence on the Mediterranean island of Malta, the story chronicles a shift in the course of civilization: the peaceful world of neolithic goddess cultures and fertility cults would give way to coming patriarchal dominion. The Great Mother is still supreme at the sacred temples of the high priests and priestesses of the island as her people are faced with painful decisions for the future. Suggesting dim origins of popular myth and fable, this expertly narrated story touches on the superstitions, fears, aspirations, ambitions of its main characters -- strangely similar to those we experience today.
