Book excerpt: We live in a secular age, a world dominated by science and technology. Increasing numbers of us don't believe in God anymore. We don't expect miracles. We've grown up and left those fairy tales behind, culturally and personally. Yet five hundred years ago the world was very much enchanted. It was a world where God existed and the devil was real. It was a world full of angels and demons. It was a world of holy wells and magical eels. But since the Protestant Reformation and the beginning of the Enlightenment, the world--in the West, at least--has become increasingly disenchanted. While this might be taken as evidence of a crisis of belief, Richard Beck argues that it's actually a crisis of attention. God hasn't gone anywhere, but we've lost our capacity to see God. The rising tide of disenchantment has profoundly changed our religious imaginations and led to a loss of the holy expectation that we can be interrupted by the sacred and divine. But it doesn't have to be this way. Hunting Magic Eels shows us that with attention and an intentional, cultivated capacity to experience God as a living, vital presence in our lives, we can cultivate an enchanted faith in a skeptical age. This new paperback edition includes a foreword from Sean Palmer as well as four new, additional chapters, including "Why Good People Need God," "Live Your Beautiful Life," and "The Primacy of the Invisible."

Book excerpt: For hunters who love the north woods, the past glory of the wilderness is recorded here. Paulina Brandreth, who wrote under the pseudonym Paul Brandreth, was a woman who hunted and photographed deer in the Adirondacks with noted deer hunters Roy Chapman Andrews, General 'Black Jack' Pershing, and Reuben Cary. She began writing for the acclaimed sportsmen's journal Forest and Stream in 1894 at the age of nine. Her material in the magazine was credited to Camp Good Enough, Brandreth Lake, a major deer camp on land purchased by her grandfather specifically for hunting and fishing. One of only a few women writing about hunting at that time, Brandreth chose to continue to write under a pseudonym, publishing Trails of Enchantment in 1930. She was passionate about still-hunting whitetail bucks, evident in a hunt with her guide and friend Reuben Cary: Side by side, we knelt in the snow, waiting for the buck to appear from behind the intervening trunk of a big birch. The suspense was harrowing. And then at last he loomed suddenly before us....

Book excerpt: Summary of the story: In the middle of the magical forest, there was a Goblin’s named Grumble, Flutter, and Snicker went on an adventure called the Goblin's Treasure Hunt. Their trip took them through beautiful green areas, over bubbling brooks, and deep into interesting caves. Along the way, they met mythical animals, solved problems, and went through tests that put their courage and friendship to the test. As they followed an old, dirty map, what started out as a search for material wealth turned into a search for something much more important. They learned that the greatest treasures were not cash and jewelry, but the people they met, the lessons they learned, and the acts of kindness they did for other people. When the three friends found a magical genie lamp, they could make a wish, but they knew that the real value of their journey was in the memories they made and the bond they formed. They did not care about themselves when they worked to keep the beauty of the country they had grown to love. They did this so that the Enchanted Forest could continue to be a place of wonder and peace. Their hard work didn't go unnoticed by the Enchanted Forest, which grew even more magical and became a safe place for all living things, both human and magical. People in Fairytale Ville respected their heroes by sharing stories about their bravery and wisdom and passing down the story of the Goblin's Treasure Hunt from one generation to the next. Grumble, Flutter, and Snicker became sources of hope and motivation for others, showing them how important it is to be friends, work together, and try for the best. Their story moved both kids and adults, telling them that real treasures can be found in laughter shared with friends and in the wonders of the world around us. Grumble, Flutter, and Snicker's legacy lives on, reminding us to enjoy the beauty of daily life, value our relationships, and make wishes that bring happiness and peace to the world without thinking about ourselves. The Goblin's Treasure Hunt is a timeless reminder that the best treasures are not gold, but the love, kindness, and wonder we create on our own unique journeys. How the Story Starts Once upon a time, Grumble, a bad fairy, lived in the made-up town of Fairytale Ville. Grumble was known for how much he liked shiny things and how often he got into trouble. He lived deep in the magical forest, where old trees whispered secrets and strange animals roamed free. Grumble, the goblin who liked to cause trouble, made this strange area his home. As soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, he heard the beautiful songs of birds and the soft rustling of leaves. The air had a magical feel to it that made him feel like anything was possible. When Grumble was looking through his collection of odd things one sunny morning, his sharp eyes got a glimpse of something strange. A dusty, spider-web-covered old map was sitting in a forgotten nook. The edges of the paper were torn, and it had turned yellow with age. Grumble's heart skipped a beat when he realized he had found a secret treasure—an ancient relic full of excitement and a lot of money. Grumble slowly opened the map with shaky hands, revealing a confusing maze of lines and symbols. His eyes lit up with joy as he ran his finger along the old roads and sites, trying to figure out what the cryptic clues meant. On the map, there was a path to a secret place that was said to have the most valuable wealth in the whole enchanted forest. Grumble's cheeky smile grew as he thought about how exciting it would be to go on a treasure hunt. His quick fingers held on tight to the map, and his mind was full of thoughts. He knew he couldn't go on this trip by himself; he needed the help of his friends, each of whom had different skills that would help him complete his task. Grumble set out to find his best friend, the fairy Flutter, with excitement running through his blood. Flutter was known for her beautiful wings, which sparkled in all the colors of the rainbow. She was good at finding things that were hidden and had as much courage as the wildest adventures. Grumble found Flutter under a beautiful stream. Her beautiful body was floating over a delicate flower. On the mossy ground, he was almost silent as he walked toward her. He waved the map in front of Flutter with a mean look in his eyes and couldn't hide his excitement. He told Flutter, "Look what I found! It's a treasure map! Let's go on a treasure hunt!" Grumble opened the dirty map to show its beautiful details, and his eyes grew big with happiness. The paper showed a large part of the magical forest, with landmarks and strange symbols all over it. It was a treasure map that could lead to wealth and adventures you could never imagine. Grumble's heart was beating faster as he moved his finger along the lines, following the way to the prize. Legends said that it was so valuable that it was worth more than any other prize in Fairytale Ville. Grumble's bad heart was filled with joy at the thought of finding such a rare gem. As he enjoyed his new wealth, he could already see the envy and respect in the eyes of his fellow goblins. The map became his compass and gave him a sense of direction. Grumble's mind went crazy with each step as he thought about all the money and diamonds he would find at the end of the journey. He knew that the road ahead would be hard and full of obstacles, but he kept going because he wanted the prize. Grumble went deeper into the magical woods because he was excited by what he didn't know, the chance to find something new, and the promise of endless wealth. As he set out, his mind was full of questions. What might he find along the way? Would he have to deal with creatures that were out to get him? Or, to get to his prize, he might have to solve problems and avoid tricky traps. Grumble's heart raced with excitement, even though he was used to danger. He liked the thrill of outsmarting his opponents and getting past obstacles. The chance to find a big treasure got his goblin senses going, so he kept going with determination. Grumble figured out that he couldn't go on this trip by himself. He needed the help and skills of his teammates to deal with the problems that were coming. He walked through the magical forest with the map tightly in his hand, looking for his best friends to join him on this amazing journey. Grumble was excited to go on a journey with Flutter, who never got scared, and Snicker, who was smart and funny. They would get past any problem to get the treasures that were buried deep in the magical forest. As Grumble went deeper into the bush, he was getting more and more excited. He liked the unknown because it was mysterious and exciting, and he was looking forward to the journey that was waiting for him. In his hands, the map was more than just an old piece of paper. It became a sign of possibilities and dreams about to come true. Grumble's eyes shone with purpose because he knew the prize, he was working for was more than just money. It was a test of courage, persistence, and the strength of friendships. With the help of his loyal friends and the treasure map, Grumble went on a journey in Fairytale Ville that would change the course of his life for good. Grumble's heart leapt with joy as he thought about all the fun things they were going to do. If Flutter was with them, they couldn't lose. They would find out the secrets of the enchanted forest and work through problems and wins together. Grumble saw that Flutter's bravery and amazing ability to find things that are hidden gave them a good chance of solving the puzzles that lay ahead. Grumble and Flutter went to the warm den of Snicker the squirrel together. Snicker was known for being smart and funny, so he was the perfect person to help them find the prize. As they got closer to Snicker's house, Grumble's steps got lighter because he was getting more and more excited about their next adventure. When they came, Snicker was busy getting acorns and putting them in neat piles. His bushy tail moved back and forth as he carefully put his wealth in order. Grumble and Flutter gave each other a knowing look, eager to tell their clever friend about what they had found. Grumble walked up to Snicker with a mean grin and waved the map in his face. "Snicker, we need your help! Look, we found a treasure map! We're going on a treasure hunt!" Snicker looked at the old piece of paper with wide eyes. His fast paws stopped sorting the acorns, and a mean look flashed in his eyes. He asked, "A treasure hunt, you say?" "Count me in, my friends! Let's find this hidden treasure and make our own legends!" Grumble, Flutter, and Snicker huddled together and talked excitedly about their plans. They looked at the map, tried to figure out what the strange marks meant, and planned how to get through the magical forest.

Book excerpt: From Timothy Zahn, Hugo Award winner and New York Times bestselling author of two landmark Star Wars® series, comes an original new tale featuring a renegade space pilot, his unusual alien partner, and an unknown cargo that can change the course of galactic history. Jordan McKell has a problem with authority. Unfortunately for him, the iron-fisted authority of the powerful Patthaaunutth controls virtually every aspect of galactic shipping. In order to survive, Jordan ekes out a living dabbling in interstellar smuggling for outlaw concerns that represent the last vestiges of free trade in the galaxy. So when Jordan and his partner, Ixil--an alien with two ferret-like "outhunters" linked to his neural system--are hired by a mysterious gentleman to fly a ship and its special cargo to Earth, they jump at the job. Caution has never been one of Jordan's strong suits. But this time he may have taken on more than even he can handle. The ship, Icarus, turns out to be a ramshackle hulk, the ragtag crew literally picked up off the street, and the cargo so secret, it's sealed in a special container that takes up most of the cramped and ill-designed ship. As if that weren't bad enough, it looks like the authorities already suspect something is afoot, there's a saboteur aboard, and the Icarus appears to be shaking apart at the seams. It doesn't seem as if things could get any worse. That is, until a beautiful crew member helps McKell uncover the true nature of the cargo he's carrying. With his enemies closing in on the lumbering Icarus, the unknown saboteur still aboard, and authorities on Earth pressured to turn them in, McKell and Ixil become fugitives. Their only chance is to stay one step ahead of their pursuers as they try to make it home. A bold and epic novel filled with unrelenting action and a good dose of humor, The Icarus Hunt is a wild hyperspace romp through the galaxy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once the enfant terrible of New York's art world, Hunt Slonem (b. 1951) depicts both natural subjects (birds and butterflies) and portraits (voodoo saints and Abraham Lincoln).

The author delves deep beneath the decorative surface of Slonem's work to reveal what informs and influences this original and enigmatic artist.

Download or read book Dramatizing Time in Twentieth Century Fiction written by William Vesterman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have twentieth-century writers used techniques in fiction to communicate the human experience of time? Dramatizing Time in Twentieth-Century Fiction explores this question by analyzing major narratives of the last century that demonstrate how time becomes variously manifested to reflect and illuminate its operation in our lives. Offering close readings of both modernist and non-modernist writers such as Wodehouse, Stein, Lewis, Joyce, Hemingway, Faulkner, Borges, and Nabokov, the author shares and unifies the belief, as set forth by the distinguished philosopher Paul Ricoeur, that narratives rather than philosophy best help us understand time. They create and communicate its meanings through dramatizations in language and the reconfiguration of temporal experience. This book explores the various responses of artistic imaginations to the mysteries of time and the needs of temporal organization in modern fiction. It is therefore an important reference for anyone with an interest in twentieth-century literature and the philosophy of time.

Download or read book John Keats written by Nicholas Roe and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark biography of celebrated Romantic poet John Keats explodes entrenched conceptions of him as a delicate, overly sensitive, tragic figure. Instead, Nicholas Roe reveals the real flesh-and-blood poet: a passionate man driven by ambition but prey to doubt, suspicion, and jealousy; sure of his vocation while bitterly resentful of the obstacles that blighted his career; devoured by sexual desire and frustration; and in thrall to alcohol and opium. Through unparalleled original research, Roe arrives at a fascinating reassessment of Keats's entire life, from his early years at Keats's Livery Stables through his harrowing battle with tuberculosis and death at age 25. Zeroing in on crucial turning points, Roe finds in the locations of Keats's poems new keys to the nature of his imaginative quest. Roe is the first biographer to provide a full and fresh account of Keats's childhood in the City of London and how it shaped the would-be poet. The mysterious early death of Keats's father, his mother's too-swift remarriage, living in the shadow of the notorious madhouse Bedlam—all these affected Keats far more than has been previously understood. The author also sheds light on Keats's doomed passion for Fanny Brawne, his circle of brilliant friends, hitherto unknown City relatives, and much more. Filled with revelations and daring to ask new questions, this book now stands as the definitive volume on one of the most beloved poets of the English language.
