Download or read book The Hearing Trumpet written by Leonora Carrington and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An old woman enters into a fantastical world of dreams and nightmares in this surrealist classic admired by Björk and Luis Buñuel. Leonora Carrington, painter, playwright, and novelist, was a surrealist trickster par excellence, and The Hearing Trumpet is the witty, celebratory key to her anarchic and allusive body of work. The novel begins in the bourgeois comfort of a residential corner of a Mexican city and ends with a man-made apocalypse that promises to usher in the earth’s rebirth. In between we are swept off to a most curious old-age home run by a self-improvement cult and drawn several centuries back in time with a cross-dressing Abbess who is on a quest to restore the Holy Grail to its rightful owner, the Goddess Venus. Guiding us is one of the most unexpected heroines in twentieth-century literature, a nonagenarian vegetarian named Marian Leatherby, who, as Olga Tokarczuk writes in her afterword, is “hard of hearing” but “full of life.”

It is a novel that charms, entertains, and above all, profoundly resonates with its audience." - Jefferson Franklyn UK In the tradition of timeless Christmas books like Richard Paul Evans' The Christmas Box, and the moving, uplifting works of Donna VanLiere's The Christmas Shoes and The Christmas Hope, The Saint of Carrington will reach into the hearts of readers at any age and soon have all believing in the true magic of Christmas. The story of a man who has lost his way, a town that has lost its faith in Santa Claus, and the young boy who teaches them all to believe again. The Saint of Carrington is a warmhearted tale of love, loss, the power of family, and the magic of Christmas. "You are cordially invited to The Carrington Grand Hotel for an old-fashion 1890s Christmas. This holiday season, warm your heart and escape to the mountain town of Carrington for an uplifting tale of family and forgiveness, ancient secrets and new beginnings, and the enduring Christmas spirit." ON THE BACK OF THE BOOK It is December 1899, a time of great promise and industrial adventure, but ever since William Thomas lost his father last year at Christmastime, the festive season holds no enchantment and the turn of the century offers no excitement. When Will stumbles upon his father's secret treasure box hidden in the attic, and finds tickets for an ocean voyage to take him and his family across the Atlantic to an obscure little town in the Swiss Alps, it seems his father is reaching out to him from beyond the grave. The small note attached simply read, 'Save for Christmas.' But when William sees the time and date of purchase--mere hours before his father's death--he knows he, his sister and mother, must find the courage to take a leap of faith and journey to a secret place called Carrington. What he doesn't know, is who waits for him on the other side. What People Are Saying About The Saint of Carrington "This book is worthy of adding to the great tradition of Christmas novels. Enjoyable read " - Amazon Review ________________________ "The Saint of Carrington immediately draws the reader in with an evocative and foreboding opening reminiscent of great Victorian literature--from Dickens to Carol--that gently coaxes the reader into the story with dreamlike images and a promise of intrigue. A vivid, intoxicating setting is established, it's material details rendered through splendorous scents and textures. The narrative maintains a balance between prose and dialogue with skill, taking the time to render the contours of the Carrington Grand Hotel, a character in the novel in its own right, with luxury and grandiloquence. Carrington's themes of hope and healing infused with mystery and adventure will be immensely appealing to the mainstream readership who enjoy a great holiday read. The Saint of Carrington is a novel that charms, entertains, and above all, profoundly resonates with its audience." - Jefferson Franklyn UK __________________________

Download or read book Down Below written by Leonora Carrington and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning work of memoir and an unforgettable depiction of the brilliance and madness by one of Surrealism's most compelling figures In 1937 Leonora Carrington—later to become one of the twentieth century’s great painters of the weird, the alarming, and the wild—was a nineteen-year-old art student in London, beautiful and unapologetically rebellious. At a dinner party, she met the artist Max Ernst. The two fell in love and soon departed to live and paint together in a farmhouse in Provence. In 1940, the invading German army arrested Ernst and sent him to a concentration camp. Carrington suffered a psychotic break. She wept for hours. Her stomach became “the mirror of the earth”—of all worlds in a hostile universe—and she tried to purify the evil by compulsively vomiting. As the Germans neared the south of France, a friend persuaded Carrington to flee to Spain. Facing the approach “of robots, of thoughtless, fleshless beings,” she packed a suitcase that bore on a brass plate the word Revelation. This was only the beginning of a journey into madness that was to end with Carrington confined in a mental institution, overwhelmed not only by her own terrible imaginings but by her doctor’s sadistic course of treatment. In Down Below she describes her ordeal—in which the agonizing and the marvelous were equally combined—with a startling, almost impersonal precision and without a trace of self-pity. Like Daniel Paul Schreber’s Memoirs of My Nervous Illness, Down Below brings the hallucinatory logic of madness home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In English for the first time, a wild and darkly funny book that combines Surrealist painter Leonora Carringon's fantastical writing and illustrations for children The maverick surrealist Leonora Carrington was an extraordinary painter and storyteller who loved to make up stories and draw pictures for her children. She lived much of her life in Mexico, and her sons remember sitting in a big room whose walls were covered with images of wondrous creatures, towering mountains, and ferocious vegetation while she told fabulous and funny tales. That room was later whitewashed, but some of its wonders were preserved in the little notebook that Carrington called The Milk of Dreams. John, who has wings for ears, Humbert the Beautiful, an insufferable kid who befriends a crocodile and grows more insufferable yet, and the awesome Janzamajoria are all to be encountered in The Milk of Dreams, a book that is as unlikely, outrageous, and dreamy as dreams themselves.

Download or read book Carrington s Letters written by Dora Carrington and published by Random House. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carrington's beguiling letters take us beyond the Bloomsbury group to discuss sexual mores, how to be an artist, and what it is to be truly oneself. Known only by her surname, Dora Carrington was the star of her year at the Slade School of Fine Art, and was friends with some of the greatest minds of her day, including Virginia Woolf, Rosamund Lehmann and Maynard Keynes. For over a decade she was the companion of homosexual writer Lytton Strachey, and - stricken without him- killed herself when he died in 1932. Though she never achieved the fame her early career promised, in her determination to live life according to her own nature – especially in relation to her work and her fluid attitude to sex, gender and sexuality – she fought battles that remain familiar and urgent today. Now, through her passionate, playful and honest letters, we can encounter the maverick artist and compelling personality afresh and in her own words.
