When Thomas Applegate is cheated out of his marble collection, he pops in to see Mr Armitage, the owner of an old junk shop, to buy some more. But he gets more than he bargains for when he finds and washes an old purple-and-ivory marble that was hidden in a broken Chinese vase. It is the start of a magical journey back to ancient China, and the rescue of a Chinese princess and his new-found magician friend, Wing Ling.

Readers will be introduced to great exemplars of faith, and our aim is to point our friends today to more enduring...

It's the anxious middle place, whose occupants include the multitudes who are still not sure what exactly to do with Jesus Christ. Polarized by life and the ways of the world, they stand here unconvinced, at the end of times, when wickedness is great and the harvest is ripe. Yet perhaps knowing more about what tomorrow br...

The book shows that failure to assess the significant cultural differences between China and the West has seriously affected our understanding of both classical and contemporary China, a...

David Lynn Hall is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas. He is the author of The Civilization of Experience, and The Uncertain Phoenix, as well as Eros and Irony (with Roger Ames), and Thinking Through Confucius, both published by SUNY Press. This is Hall's first fictional work.
