The Trumpet Blast
Religious prophecies anticipate a world redeemer, and this book reexamines Ṭáhirih—the Bábí movement’s heroic martyr—as a central herald of that advent. Through analysis of her symbolism of the “veil,” newly uncovered unpublished poetry, and authoritative writings of the Faith she died for, the author argues Ṭáhirih was more than a feminist icon. She is presented as the Trumpeter of the Day of Resurrection, lifting apocalyptic veils and announcing an imminent transformation of human civilization and the coming of the Promised One.
beautifully highlights the life and station of Tahirih, a remarkable historical figure in religion and poetry

King’s Bishop
Once inseparable, Henry II of England and his chancellor Thomas Becket become bitter enemies after Henry forces his favorite to also serve as Archbishop of Canterbury—and Becket shifts allegiance from crown to church. Was their quarrel driven by politics, pride, position, or jealousy? In a fresh retelling of this famous 12th-century conflict, Judith Koll Healey reframes the legend as intimate historical fiction, exploring king and bishop as complicated humans rather than untouchable icons.

Mozart in Prague
Mozart in Prague explores the city that embraced Mozart as Vienna often did not. In musically literate Prague, he found true recognition—celebrated like a rock star at the 1787 premiere of the “Prague” Symphony. After his 1791 death, Prague honored him with a massive funeral that halted civic life, and its citizens helped support his penniless widow and children. Blending cultural history and vivid characters—including Marie Antoinette and Giacomo Casanova—the book reveals Mozart’s unique bond with this beautiful, cultured city.
a page-turning breakthrough in Mozart studies
