Download or read book Animal Encounters written by Susan Crane and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-11-29 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traces of the living animal run across the entire corpus of medieval writing and reveal how pervasively animals mattered in medieval thought and practice. In fascinating scenes of cross-species encounters, a raven offers St. Cuthbert a lump of lard that waterproofs his visitors' boots for a whole year, a scholar finds inspiration for his studies in his cat's perfect focus on killing mice, and a dispossessed knight wins back his heritage only to give it up again in order to save the life of his warhorse. Readers have often taken such encounters to be merely figurative or fanciful, but Susan Crane discovers that these scenes of interaction are firmly grounded in the intimate cohabitation with animals that characterized every medieval milieu from palace to village. The animal encounters of medieval literature reveal their full meaning only when we recover the living animal's place within the written animal. The grip of a certain humanism was strong in medieval Britain, as it is today: the humanism that conceives animals in diametrical opposition to humankind. Yet medieval writing was far from univocal in this regard. Latin and vernacular works abound in other ways of thinking about animals that invite the saint, the scholar, and the knight to explore how bodies and minds interpenetrate across species lines. Crane brings these other ways of thinking to light in her readings of the beast fable, the hunting treatise, the saint's life, the bestiary, and other genres. Her substantial contribution to the field of animal studies investigates how animals and people interact in culture making, how conceiving the animal is integral to conceiving the human, and how cross-species encounters transform both their animal and their human participants.

Book excerpt: Hinoch has always had a special connection to his native land of Labrador, so when the young Inuit artist is guided to the isolated site of a plane crash by a raven, he is relatively unfazed. It is there Hinoch finds a gold ring belonging to one of the former crew members, a ring containing the spirit of the lost owner. Hinoch knows he must reunite the ring with the owner’s family in order to save the man’s spirit. Hinoch’s efforts to find the lost man’s family finally pay off when a young woman named Joanna visits him in his isolated community. The two immediately hit it off, and Joanna is drawn to the simple Labrador lifestyle and the traditional and spiritual ways of the Inuit. Hinoch and Joanna begin to see themselves sharing their lives together, but then Hinoch drops a bombshell: he’s been having shamanic visions of the world being destroyed by overpopulation and climate change. Now he’s unsure if Joanna will be willing to join him in relocating his people to the safety of the wilderness.

Download or read book The Hill of the Ravens written by H. A. Covington and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2003-07-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is morning in America, many years in the future. As the 22nd century approaches, the United States and Canada have been shattered by war and upheaval and have broken up into separate ethnic, racial, and political enclaves. On the east coast a crumbling, bankrupt and tottering United States government still holds a weak and impotent sway over a ragged collection of tattered states and cities, but life is chaotic and plagued with poverty, violence, and desperation. The entire Southwest, beginning with Texas and extending westward to southern California and north as far as Utah, has become the Spanish-speaking Mexican state of Aztlan. And in the Pacific Northwest, from northern California on up to Alaska, a brutal fascist and white supremacist dictatorship rules the Northwest American Republic. Colonel Donald Redmond of the Bureau of State Security (BOSS) is one of the Northwest Republic’s most ruthless and skillful political policemen. Then on a bright October morning he is called into the office of the State President, where he is given a top-secret assignment. A skeleton from the bloody and treacherous days of the revolution against America is about to emerge from the closet, and one of the most carefully guarded and suppressed mysteries of that revolution may become public knowledge. That long hidden truth may undermine the very moral and political foundations of the white supremacist state. A woman’s life hangs in the balance, but possibly even the fate a of a continent as well, as Donald Redmond and his partner Sergeant Nel plunge into the past and seek for the answer: who betrayed the Olympic Flying Column, and why? In The Hill of the Ravens, underground cult novelist H. A. Covington offers us a grim and chilling view of a future that may yet come to be.

Book Synopsis To the Island of Tides by : Alistair Moffat
Download or read book To the Island of Tides written by Alistair Moffat and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In To the Island of Tides, Alistair Moffat travels to – and through the history of – the fated island of Lindisfarne. Known by the Romans as Insula Medicata and famous for its monastery, it even survived Viking raids. Today the isle maintains its position as a space for retreat and spiritual renewal. Walking from his home in the Borders, through the historical landscape of Scotland and northern England, Moffat takes us on a pilgrimage in the footsteps of saints and scholars, before arriving for a secular retreat on the Holy Isle. To the Island of Tides is a walk through history, a meditation on the power of place, but also a more personal journey; and a reflection on where life leads us.
