Book Synopsis Celestina's Brood by : Roberto González Echevarría
Download or read book Celestina's Brood written by Roberto González Echevarría and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1499 and centered on the figure of a bawd and witch, Fernando de Rojas' dark and disturbing Celestina was destined to become the most suppressed classic in Spanish literary history. Routinely ignored in Spanish letters, the book nonetheless echoes through contemporary Spanish and Latin American literature. This is the phenomenon that Celestina's Brood explores. Roberto González Echevarría, one of the most eminent and influential critics of Hispanic literature writing today, uses Rojas' text as his starting point to offer an exploration of modernity in the Hispanic literary tradition, and of the Baroque as an expression of the modern. His analysis of Celestina reveals the relentless probing of the limits of language and morality that mark the work as the beginning of literary modernity in Spanish, and the start of a tradition distinguished by a penchant for the excesses of the Baroque. González Echevarría pursues this tradition and its meaning through the works of major figures such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, Alejo Carpentier, Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel García Márquez, Nicolás Guillén, and Severo Sarduy, as well as through the works of lesser-known authors. By revealing continuities of the Baroque, Celestina's Brood cuts across conventional distinctions between Spanish and Latin American literary traditions to show their profound and previously unimagined affinity.

The Penguin Book of Demons summons these supernatural creatures—and the humans who have hunted and been haunted by them—across cultures and continents: the daemons of ancient Greece and Rome; the giant, biblical half humans known as Nephilim who stalked the earth before the Great Flood; corrupted angels, condemned to eternity in Hell; the jinn of Islamic Arabia; the female, child-eating Gelloudes of Byzantium; the seductive incubi and succubi of northern Europe; the animal spirits of early modern China; and the cannibalistic Wendigo of Native American folklore. From demonic possession to black magic, these accounts give life to a spellbinding, skin-crawling history of the paranormal.

Book Synopsis 'Gold Tried in the Fire' by : Ariel Hessayon
Download or read book 'Gold Tried in the Fire' written by Ariel Hessayon and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of the most fascinating and idiosyncratic of all seventeenth-century figures: Thomas Totney (1608-1659), a London puritan, goldsmith and veteran of the Civil War. In November 1649, after fourteen weeks of self-abasement, fasting and prayer, Totney experienced a profound spiritual transformation and declared himself TheaurauJohn Tany, 'a Jew of the Tribe of Reuben' descended from Aaron the High Priest. During his prophetic phase Tany enacted a millenarian mission to restore the Jews to their own land and wrote a number of remarkable but elusive works. By contextualizing and then unraveling the mind of this exceptional person, this book provides a clearer view of what it was like living in the wake of the English Revolution, when freed men and women spoke their minds and challenged the times.
Book Synopsis The Last White Rose by : Desmond Seward
Download or read book The Last White Rose written by Desmond Seward and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most dramatic periods of British history, the Wars of the Roses didn't end at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. Despite the death of Richard III and Henry VII's victory, it continued underground into the following century with plots, pretenders and subterfuge by the ousted white rose faction. In a brand new interpretation of this turning point in history, well known historian Desmond Seward reviews the story of the Tudors' seizure of the throne and shows that for many years they were far from secure. He challenges the way we look at the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII, explaining why there were so many Yorkist pretenders and conspiracies, and why the new dynasty had such difficulty establishing itself. King Richard's nephews, the Earl of Warwick and the little known de la Pole brothers, all had support of enemies overseas, while England was split when the lowly Perkin Warbeck skilfully impersonated one of the princes in the tower in order to claim the right to the throne. Warwick's surviving sister Margaret also became the focus of hopes that the White Rose would be reborn. The book also offers a new perspective on why Henry VIII, constantly threatened by treachery, real or imagined, and desperate to secure his power with a male heir, became a tyrant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this series, there is no shortage of action, betrayal and bringing back the dead"--Paranormal Romance Guild on The Necromancer's Betrayal "If you enjoy an urban fantasy with a little romance and sex on the side, you'll probably enjoy The Necromancer's Seduction." --Bewitching Book Tours Magazine Between hell and a hard place . . . Before he died, necromancer Ruby Montagne's demon grandfather passed her his Death Essence--his power. And that would be good . . . if she had a clue how to use it. Unfortunately, the impending destruction of both of her worlds demands she figures it out--fast. She's got to stop an invasion of zombies from the bowels of hell. She has help from Xavier, the demon she's nicknamed the Big Bad. But while Xavier does teach her to control her new power, he's just setting her up for trouble. Bad trouble. Still, he's better than the demon High Inquisitor, who's obsessed with trying to kill her. Ruby's got even more trouble. She wants to regain the trust of her sometimes-lover, sometimes-adversary, Ewan--a demon warrior who's six-feet-plus of chiseled muscle and coiled sexuality. It'd be a lot easier if her beloved friend, Lysander, a powerful vampire, wouldn't keep trying to lure her into bed. In order to defeat the zombies she must find--and learn how to use--an ancient artifact that will keep the veil between the worlds from shattering. But there's a cost--the artifact feeds on souls. If she masters the artifact's power, she'll save both the human and demon worlds. But there's not much time . . . and the artifact is hungry. Will she forfeit her soul before she's able to fix the veil? Mimi Sebastian raised herself on books, an unhealthy dose of comics, and movies. When a career as a punk guitarist failed to materialize, she completed her degree in urban planning. By day, she debates the merits of transport oriented development. By night she writes about necromancers and pirates.

Download or read book Demons written by Michael S. Heiser and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The truth about demons is far stranger—and even more fascinating—than what's commonly believed. Are demons real? Are they red creatures with goatees holding pitchforks and sitting on people's shoulders while whispering bad things? Did a third of the angels really rebel with Satan? Are demons and "principalities and powers" just terms for the same entities, or are they different members of the kingdom of darkness? Is the world a chaotic mess because of what happened in Eden, or is there more to the story of evil? What people believed about evil spiritual forces in ancient biblical times is often very different than what people have been led to believe about them today. And this ancient worldview is missing from most attempts to treat the topic. In Demons, Michael Heiser debunks popular presuppositions about the very real powers of darkness. Rather than traditions, stories, speculations, or myths, Demons is grounded in what ancient people of both the Old and New Testament eras believed about evil spiritual forces and in what the Bible actually says. You'll come away with a sound, biblical understanding of demons, supernatural rebellion, evil spirits, and spiritual warfare.
