Download or read book The Night Battles written by Carlo Ginzburg and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable tale of witchcraft, folk culture, and persuasion in early modern Europe. Based on research in the Inquisitorial archives of Northern Italy, The Night Battles recounts the story of a peasant fertility cult centered on the benandanti, literally, "good walkers." These men and women described fighting extraordinary ritual battles against witches and wizards in order to protect their harvests. While their bodies slept, the souls of the benandanti were able to fly into the night sky to engage in epic spiritual combat for the good of the village. Carlo Ginzburg looks at how the Inquisition's officers interpreted these tales to support their world view that the peasants were in fact practicing sorcery. The result of this cultural clash, which lasted for more than a century, was the slow metamorphosis of the benandanti into the Inquisition's mortal enemies—witches. Relying upon this exceptionally well-documented case study, Ginzburg argues that a similar transformation of attitudes—perceiving folk beliefs as diabolical witchcraft—took place all over Europe and spread to the New World. In his new preface, Ginzburg reflects on the interplay of chance and discovery, as well as on the relationship between anomalous cases and historical generalizations.

Book excerpt: No te fíes de su tamaño; esta es una historia muy grande. El mundo está lleno de luces y sombras, pero muy pocos pueden ver que hay tras ellas. Las fuerzas de la luz y la oscuridad luchan desde el albor de los tiempos por las almas de los hombres. Demonios, brujas, zombis, hadas, espectros y muchas otras criaturas se ocultan entre nosotros. A lo mejor, tras la sonrisa de ese camarero que te sirve el café por las mañanas o la de esa peluquera que te corta el pelo, o quizás también tras el político que con una amable sonrisa demanda tu voto... Aunque probablemente esto último no le extrañe a nadie. Conoceremos a la Sociedad de Conservación Histórica -una organización con más de mil años de antigüedad que lucha contra las fuerzas del mal, convencidos de que la mayor arma contra el mal es la educación- y a uno de sus miembros más controvertidos, Artai, un personaje políticamente incorrecto y con poderes sobrenaturales que se ve inmerso en una aventura más grande de lo que pensaba, mientras busca a su mentor desaparecido. Un poderoso aquelarre se ha reunido con la intención de cubrir el mundo de tinieblas. En su camino, Artai se encontrará con todo tipo de peligros y algunos nuevos amigos que lo ayudarán en su búsqueda, como Iria, la reina de las mouras y primera meiga. Situada en tierras gallegas, La luna de sangre es una trepidante aventura llena de magia y seres sobrenaturales que intercala momentos de acción y de comedia.
