Download or read book Fantastic Travelogue written by S. Dorman and published by . This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fantastic Travelogue is speculative fiction, a phantasmic conversation between two literary giants, Mark Twain and C.S. Lewis. The talk and action are set in the dreamscape of creation--from creation's photonics and micro biology to its most outer energetic and cosmic origins. Other participants in the conversation include the Renaissance humanist and astronomer Johannes Kepler and the 19th century Scots romanticist George MacDonald. Together, rarely dropping the thread of story-telling and argumentation, throughout time and creation they range, sometimes losing themselves in the mystery and splendors encountered. By the author of Five Points Akropolis and The God's Cycle. Now with an introduction.
Download or read book The Revolt from the Village 1915 1930 written by Anthony Channell Hilfer and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-08-25 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This incisive book traces the attack on American provincialism that ended the myth of the Happy Village. Replacing the idyllic life as a theme, American writers in revolt turned to a more realistic interpretation of the town, stressing its repressiveness, dullness, and conformity. This book analyzes the literary technique employed by these writers and explores their sensibilities to evaluate both their artistic accomplishments and their contributions to American thought and feeling.

Download or read book George MacDonald s Children s Fantasies and the Divine Imagination written by Colin Manlove and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great Victorian Christian author George MacDonald is the well-spring of the modern fantasy genre. In this book Colin Manlove offers explorations of MacDonald's eight shorter fairy tales and his longer stories At the Back of the North Wind, The Princess and the Goblin, The Wise Woman, and The Princess and Curdie. MacDonald saw the imagination as the source of fairy tales and of divine truth together. For he believed that God lives in the depths of the human mind and “sends up from thence wonderful gifts into the light of the understanding.” This makes MacDonald that very rare thing: a writer of mystical fiction whose work can give us experience of the divine. Throughout his children’s fantasy stories MacDonald is describing the human and divine imagination. In the shorter tales he shows how the imagination has different regions and depths, each able to shift into the other. With the longer stories we see the imagination in relation to other aspects of the self and to its position in the world. Here the imagination is portrayed as often embattled in relation to empiricism, egotism, and greed.

Download or read book Terry Pratchett s Ethical Worlds written by Kristin Noone and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terry Pratchett's writing celebrates the possibilities opened up by inventiveness and imagination. It constructs an ethical stance that values informed and self-aware choices, knowledge of the world in which one makes those choices, the importance of play and humor in crafting a compassionate worldview, and acts of continuous self-examination and creation. This collection of essays uses inventiveness and creation as a thematic core to combine normally disparate themes, such as science fiction studies, the effect of collaborative writing and shared authorship, steampunk aesthetics, productive modes of "ownership," intertextuality, neomedievalism and colonialism, adaptations into other media, linguistics and rhetorics, and coming of age as an act of free will.
