Book excerpt: Who built the megaliths, those massive stone structures ranging from tombs to standing stones that date back to over 4000 BC? Why were they built? How were the enormous stones transported and erected? Were these strange, sacred stones used as temples or tombs, sculptures or houses? Covering the best-known sites - Avebury and Stonehenge in England, Carnac in France and Knowth in Ireland - and also less famous examples in Scandinavia, Malta, Egypt and Spain, this book considers the special significance - architectural, scientific, religious and cultural - of these enigmatic Neolithic stone structures.

Book excerpt: With a nod, Carnac put the statue on the table in front of the old man, and said: "It's all right, isn't it? I've lifted that out of the river- life. That's one of the best men you ever had, and he's only one of a thousand. He doesn't belong anywhere. He's a rover, an adventurer, a wanton of the waters. Look at him. He's all right, isn't he?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Excavations at Carnac (Brittany): A Record of Archæological Researches in the Bossenno and the Mont Saint Michel IN the summer of 1873 I went on a tour in Brittany for the purpose of seeing some of the antiquities for which it is so famous, my chief object being to visit the celebrated align ments of Carnac. Landing at St. Malo, I proceeded by the beautiful scenery of the Rance to Dinan, and thence on to Morlaix. There a few days were pleasantly passed in making excursions to visit the curious churches and calvaries of St. Thegonnec and St. Guimiliau, and in examining the houses of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, which are still to be seen in the Grande Rue, and in the Rue des Nobles at Morlaix. These picturesque specimens of Breton architecture usually present their gable ends to the street, each successive storey projecting over the one below it, and they are often adorned with quaint carving on the woodwork.

Download or read book Carnac written by Eugène Guillevic and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugene Guillevic, who died in 1997, was one of France's most important contemporary poets. Dating from 1961, Carnac marks the beginning of Guillevic's mature life as a poet. A single poem divided into several parts, it evokes the rocky, sea-bound, unfinished landscape of Brittany with its sacred objects and its great silent sense of waiting. The texts are brief but have a grave, meditative serenity, as the poet seeks to effect balance and help us to make friends with nature, as well as to live in a universe which is chaotic and often frightening. In this poetry of description -- where entire landscapes are built up from short, intense texts -- language is reduced to its essentials, as words are placed on the page like a dam against time, and aspire to what John Montague calls their mystic materialism.
