Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Weird Orient: Nine Mystic Tales The mystery of the great desolate desert stretches, with their overpowering solemnity of deadly silence, has from time immemorial exercised a most powerful influence upon the imagination of those who frequent them and their optical illusions are often so curious and so startling as to afford easy explanation of the legends of hidden and phantom cities, such as are told here and elsewhere, and indeed of much else beside. Stories similar to Shed dad's Palace of Irem, and that of the vanish ing city of the Peri in The Croesus of Yemen, are frequently met with.

Download or read book Mysteries of the Orient Jadoo written by John Keel and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-30 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Someone, we know not who, once called "Jadoo" the "greatest book ever written on the black magic of the Orient." But we do know that there will never again be another book like it. "Jadoo," a Hindi word meaning "Black Magic," captures a world that is now lost to us - the strange, dark, mysterious world that was once called the "Orient." This story of a real-life Indiana Jones of the 1950s (named John Keel) contains everything but a trip to Venus in a flying saucer - a subject our newsman/explorer would become famous for a decade later. In Egypt, the fearless Keel was cursed by a mummy and befriended members of a strange snake-charming cult. In Iraq, he played Russian roulette with a notorious desert bandit and lived among the Yezidi devil-worshippers. Later, in India, he was buried alive and discovered the secret of the Indian rope trick, which he then performed for incredulous reporters in New Delhi. And in a riveting finale, he chased the Abominable Snowman through the little-known Himalayan kingdom of Sikkim before being unceremoniously booted out of Singapore for being "an undesirable alien.""One of the most traveled and imaginative raconteurs since Baron Munchausen..." -The San Francisco Examiner"Here is a fireside adventure with a chill in it..." -The Buffalo Evening News"A fabulous tour of Egypt, the Middle East, India, and Tibet..." -The Hartford Times"A combination of cliff-hanging experiences with serious probing for the bizarre, the secretive, and the enigmatic..." -Kirkus

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Movements of Interweaving is a rich collection of essays exploring the concept of interweaving performance cultures in the realms of movement, dance, and corporeality. Focusing on dance performances as well as on scenarios of cultural movements on a global scale, it not only challenges the concept of intercultural dance performances, but through its innovative approach also calls attention to the specific qualities of "interweaving" as a form of movement itself. Divided into four sections, this volume features an international team of scholars together developing a new critical perspective on the cultural practices of movement, travel and migration in and beyond dance.

Download or read book Weird Fiction in Britain 1880 1939 written by James Machin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first study of how ‘weird fiction’ emerged from Victorian supernatural literature, abandoning the more conventional Gothic horrors of the past for the contemporary weird tale. It investigates the careers and fiction of a range of the British writers who inspired H. P. Lovecraft, such as Arthur Machen, M. P. Shiel, and John Buchan, to shed light on the tensions between ‘literary’ and ‘genre’ fiction that continue to this day. Weird Fiction in Britain 1880–1939 focuses on the key literary and cultural contexts of weird fiction of the period, including Decadence, paganism, and the occult, and discusses how these later impacted on the seminal American pulp magazine Weird Tales. This ground-breaking book will appeal to scholars of weird, horror and Gothic fiction, genre studies, Decadence, popular fiction, the occult, and Fin-de-Siècle cultural history.
