This book was released on 2011-08-08 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early modern Europe, ideas about nature, God, demons and occult forces were inextricably connected and much ink and blood was spilled in arguments over the characteristics and boundaries of nature and the supernatural. Seitz uses records of Inquisition witchcraft trials in Venice to uncover how individuals across society, from servants to aristocrats, understood these two fundamental categories. Others have examined this issue from the points of view of religious history, the history of science and medicine, or the history of witchcraft alone, but this work brings these sub-fields together to illuminate comprehensively the complex forces shaping early modern beliefs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venice, Anna Castelli receives a small package of letters consumed from the hands of two mysterious characters who entrust her story .. After a long working day, Jérôme de Seingalt smokes his last cigarette on his "altana" (Venetian terrace), enjoying the moonlight and the silence of the Lagoon Suddenly inside the mirror of his room, a funny woman appears, Lavinia de Merteuil. After fighting extremely hard to get her out of there, Jérôme listens in surprise to her story: Lavinia tells her that they already knew each other and that they loved each other three hundred years ago and asks for her help to break the enchantment that took her away from him, forcing her to travel as a mirror in mirror for centuries until the curse is broken. The only way to achieve this is to tell fables. Thus begins an exchange of letters with which the two will discover again in our days their former passion, between walks and appointments in the most beautiful places of Venice, which the reader can admire with them. Between one letter and the other they contrast the curse with their fables; love stories set around the world and in every age, that pursue with their walk the passion that Lavinia and Jérôme possess, until the incredible epilogue with which the reader will discover if the power of love is stronger than the witchcraft that falls upon they.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if we truly belong to each other? What if we are all walking around shining like the sun? Mystic, monk, and activist Thomas Merton asked those questions in the twentieth century. Writer Sophfronia Scott is asking them today. In The Seeker and the Monk, Scott mines the extensive private journals of one of the most influential contemplative thinkers of the past for guidance on how to live in these fraught times. As a Black woman who is not Catholic, Scott both learns from and pushes back against Merton, holding spirited, and intimate conversations on race, ambition, faith, activism, nature, prayer, friendship, and love. She asks: What is the connection between contemplation and action? Is there ever such a thing as a wrong answer to a spiritual question? How do we care about the brutality in the world while not becoming overwhelmed by it? By engaging in this lively discourse, readers will gain a steady sense of how to dwell more deeply within--and even to love--this despairing and radiant world.
