Book excerpt: Aldous Huxley's acclaimed and gripping account of one of the strangest occurrences in history In 1643 an entire convent in the small French village of Loudun was apparently possessed by the devil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can religious belief survive in a scientific era? Aldous Huxley thought so. His early recognition of the profound significance of twentieth-century science and the need for moral and spiritual direction resulted in his espousal of mysticism. An examination of his fiction and nonfiction reveals Huxley's significance for cross-disciplinary debates between religion, science and literature and provides examples of the transmission or refraction of knowledge from one discourse to another.

Download or read book Narrative Being Vs Narrating Being written by Armela Panajoti and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume focuses on Anglo-American modernist fiction, offering challenging perspectives that consider modernism in the instances in which it transcends itself, moving, broadly speaking, towards postmodernist self-irony. As such, the contributions here discuss issues such as being in creation; narrativizing being and creation; the relation between being and narrative; the situation of being in narrative time and space; the relation between authority and narrative; possible authority over narrative and the authority of narrative; interaction between narrative and the other; the authority of the other over and within the narrative; and the inter-referentiality of text and author. Divided into two parts, “Towards High Modernism” and “After Modernism”, the book allows the reader to chronologically follow how authors’ relations to literature in general evolved with the changing world and new perspectives on the nature of reality. This book offers an insightful contribution to the on-going discussion on the ambiguities inherent in the concepts of author, narrative, and being, and will stimulate intellectual confrontation and circulation of ideas within the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unsealing the hatch of a rusty old WWII tank will unleash a demonic nightmare in this novel by “the master of modern horror” (Library Journal). Thirty-five years have passed since the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day turned the tide of World War II against Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Reich, and it’s been more than three decades since the residents of the tiny French village of Le Vey witnessed the horrific slaughter of hundreds of German soldiers by thirteen black tanks. One of the tanks remains on the outskirts of town—its hatch mysteriously sealed, trapping its controller inside—only to be discovered by American surveyor and cartographer Dan McCook. Driven by curiosity and an inexplicable compulsion, McCook is about to do the unthinkable and release what lives within the tank upon an unsuspecting world. And once the monstrous occupant reunites with others of its demonic kind, a new world war will begin, one that threatens to wash the earth in blood and drag every man, woman, and child through the fiery gates of hell. A chilling and ingeniously original tale of demonic possession and apocalyptic possibilities, The Devils of D-Day is classic horror at its best, from the award-winning author of The Manitou.

Download or read book The Devils written by John Whiting and published by New York : Hill and Wang. This book was released on 1961 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hit in London and New York, The Devils offers a provocative look at lust and religious hysteria in a small seventeenth provincial town. The amorous exploits of the handsome, libertine Priest -- Father Urbain Grandier -- whispers through the cloistered St. Ursula's Convent. The young but deformed Prioress, Sister Jeanne of the Angels, becomes obsessed by this man and his romantic adventures -- an obsession that causes her to offer the Priest the position of Spiritual Advisor to the order. When Grandier politely declines the situation, Sister Jeanne's initial disappointment dissolves into a possessive malice -- and she charges him with diabolism... filling the minds of her Nuns, through the powers of Satan, with obscenity and sensual desire! For the clerics who are jealous of the Priest, for the laity who disapprove his luxury and for Cardinal Reichelieu who resents his growing political influence, the hysterical passion of the writhing Nuns becomes the sword that destroys Grandier... as a man and a Priest. And the woman who began this series of bizzare events sees him for the first time as his battered, bruised body is carried to be burned at the stake... The Devils is a powerful, deeply moving drama -- and its timeless theme of one human-being's virtual destruction by another is brilliantly developd. It shocks and batters the conscience without once losing its hypnotic effect on the reader.
