Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These visions are personal mysteries, and as various in their manner of revelation as the modes of art or religion. We touch them here or there, according to our individual equipment. Anyone of the five senses may be the immediate means of communication, conveying the sudden stimulus by which the inner self finds its brief eternity of release. And there are some who cannot find their ecstasy in any book; there are others who find it in a few books, but will not find it here. To them I offer an apology, and ask in return that they shall not write and ask me what I mean. . . . -- J.D. Beresford

He has used his novelist's skill to convince the sensitive reader that the age of miracles is not over, and that, in certain circumstances, the spirit may exercise what seem to us miraculous powers over the substance of the body. This he did in 'The Camberwell Miracle' and 'Peckover'; and in this absorbing novel, he returns to the theme, with the study of a man fitting himself to become a great healer."

Download or read book Goslings written by J. D. Beresford and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Goslings' by J. D. Beresford, the reader is transported into a post-apocalyptic world where a small group of children, known as the 'goslings', are left to fend for themselves in a world turned upside down. This novel, written in a straightforward and realistic style, delves into the themes of survival, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit. Beresford's narrative is gripping and thought-provoking, presenting a stark and haunting depiction of a society on the brink of collapse. Set against the backdrop of a decaying civilization, 'Goslings' stands out as a seminal work of early 20th-century science fiction literature, offering a poignant exploration of the human condition amidst chaos and upheaval. J. D. Beresford, a British author and journalist, drew upon his experiences living through World War I to craft the dark and introspective narrative of 'Goslings'. His firsthand knowledge of the effects of war and societal disruption adds depth and authenticity to the story, making it a compelling and impactful read. Beresford's skillful blending of realism and speculative fiction sets him apart as a master of his craft, elevating 'Goslings' to a literary classic that continues to resonate with readers today. I highly recommend 'Goslings' to readers who enjoy dystopian fiction with a reflective and philosophical edge. Beresford's exploration of the human psyche in extreme circumstances offers a unique perspective on individual and collective resilience, making this novel a must-read for those seeking a profound and thought-provoking literary experience.
