Book Synopsis The Flying Mountain by : Christoph Ransmayr
Download or read book The Flying Mountain written by Christoph Ransmayr and published by German List. This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a publishing world that is all too full of realist novels written in undistinguished prose, discernible only by their covers, The Flying Mountain stands out--if for no other reason than that it consists entirely of blank verse. And that form is most suitable for the epic voyage Christoph Ransmayr relates: The Flying Mountain tells the story of two brothers who leave the southwest coast of Ireland on an expedition to Transhimalaya, the land of Kham, and the mountains of eastern Tibet--looking for an untamed, unnamed mountain that represents perhaps the last blank spot on the map. As they advance toward their goal, the brothers find their past, and their rivalry, inescapable, inflecting every encounter and decision as they are drawn farther and farther from the world they once knew. Only one of the brothers will return. Transformed by his loss, he starts life anew, attempting to understand the mystery of love, yet another quest that may prove impossible. The Flying Mountain is thrilling, surprising, and lyrical by turns; readers looking for something truly new will be rewarded for joining Ransmayr on this journey.
Book Synopsis Tales of the Flying Mountains by : Poul Anderson
Download or read book Tales of the Flying Mountains written by Poul Anderson and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a thrilling collection of hard science fiction stories, a master of speculative fiction envisions a volatile future when Earth’s colonies throughout the galaxy attempt to break free from home-world rule On a spaceship rocketing toward the stars, an official council meets to discuss how to censor history for the benefit of a new generation in space—which stories to preserve and which ones to discard forever . . . Golden-age hard science fiction luminary Poul Anderson approached the future with a mixture of excitement, hope, and skepticism. In Tales of the Flying Mountains, the multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner offers stories from a new war of independence and beyond—portending a time when a North American government on Earth will take up arms against its own rebellious children colonizing the cosmos, then exploring the shape of the universe in the war’s aftermath. Firmly based in hard science and human nature, here are seven excursions into a distant tomorrow, from the tense saber rattling preceding the hostilities to the establishment and growth of the independent Asteroid Republic. Whether he’s spinning an imaginative yarn about the courageous crew of an unarmed state-of-the-art commercial space station using every resources at hand to battle a military incursion from the home world or chronicling a space colony’s desperate gamble to thwart a government takeover by moving an entire asteroid, Anderson builds truly breathtaking worlds and imagines astonishing yet eminently credible future scenarios while infusing his unforgettable tales with intelligence, compassion, surprise, and humanism.

Book Synopsis Der fliegende Berg by : Christoph Ransmayr
Download or read book Der fliegende Berg written by Christoph Ransmayr and published by S. Fischer Verlag. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christoph Ransmayrs epischer Roman über die Suche nach dem vermeintlich letzten Weißen Fleck der Weltkarte. Den Geschichten dieses Erzählers zu folgen, bedeutet beispielsweise am Gipfel des Everest die atlantische Brandung zu hören. ›Der fliegende Berg‹ ist die Geschichte zweier Brüder, die von der Südwestküste Irlands in den Transhimalaya, nach dem Land Kham und in die Gebirge Osttibets aufbrechen, um dort, wider besseres (durch Satelliten und Computernavigation gestütztes) Wissen, einen noch unbestiegenen namenlosen Berg zu suchen, vielleicht den letzten Weißen Fleck der Weltkarte. Auf ihrer Suche begegnen die Brüder nicht nur der archaischen, mit chinesischen Besatzern und den Zwängen der Gegenwart im Krieg liegenden Welt der Nomaden, sondern auf sehr unterschiedliche Weise auch dem Tod. Nur einer der beiden kehrt aus den Bergen ans Meer und in ein Leben zurück, in dem er das Rätsel der Liebe als sein und seines verlorenen Bruders tatsächliches, lange verborgenes, niemals ganz zu vermessendes und niemals zu eroberndes Ziel zu begreifen beginnt. Verwandelt von der Erfahrung, ja der Entdeckung der Wirklichkeit, macht sich der Überlebende am Ende ein zweites Mal auf den Weg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mountain Mandalas Allan G. Grapard provides a thought-provoking history of one aspect of the Japanese Shugendo tradition in Kyushu, by focusing on three cultic systems: Mount Hiko, Usa-Hachiman, and the Kunisaki Peninsula. Grapard draws from a rich range of theorists from the disciplines of geography, history, anthropology, sociology, and humanistic geography and situates the historical terrain of his research within a much larger context. This book includes detailed analyses of the geography of sacred sites, translations from many original texts, and discussions on rituals and social practices. Grapard studies Mount Hiko and the Kunisaki Peninsula, which was very influential in Japanese cultural and religious history throughout the ages. We are introduced to important information on archaic social structures and their religious traditions; the development of the cult to the deity Hachiman; a history of the interactions between Buddhism and local cults in Japan; a history of the Shugendo tradition of mountain religious ascetics, and much more. Mountain Mandalas sheds light on important aspects of Japan's religion and culture, and will be of interest to all scholars of Shinto and Japanese religion. Extensive translations of source material can be found on the book's webpage.
