Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man-Stories of a Black Snake The class of men is growing larger day by day which craves for the knowledge of that which 'eye hath not seen'; these are the persons whom this critic believed would chiefly take an interest in the following pages, and to whom I am now addressing these words. The Snake Stories first took shape in the author's mind as long ago as 1893, but they only assumed concrete form in the winter of I 89 5 - 96. They were written while the influence of the Bush still powerfully moved him, partly, indeed, with a view to describing that wonderful Wild West of Tasmania so little known even to the in habitants of Tasmania itself. I suppose all who have travelled away from civilisation, be it for ever so short a distance, have felt the strange weight of solitude which presses upon their minds, and know how that feeling gradually gives place to a sensation of deepest content, as a thousand companions are disclosed to them in bird and beast and tree. These men will appreciate the fact that the author has dwelt for long in the closest com munion with Nature, and has written these stories while still imbued with her mystic teachings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man, the Tiger, and the Snake There is an old Laos folktale of a hunter who rescued from death a man, a tiger, and a snake, each in turn naturally professing gratitude and in turn pledging aid should the hunter ever need it. Now, it so happened, that need befell the hunter, and not being Anglo-Saxon, and consequently not convulsed with squeamishness at the idea of cashing in on favors previously rendered, he went forth without hesitation and quoted to those whom he had befriended - provided, of course, that he understood classical Sanskrit, which he probably didn't - the following verse from the Hitopudesa: "That friend only is the true one who is by when trouble comes; Words are air; a deed talks louder than a solo played on drums." Interesting, the working out of that legend, inscribed in ancient temple books and told from immemorial times about the camp fires of obscure tribes in the neglected hinterland bordering India, Cochin-China, and Siam.

Book excerpt: Orpheus played his lyre so beautifully that even the rivers and rocks were moved to do his bidding. In Mojo Hand, it is the blues singer Blacksnake Brown who casts a spell over Eunice Prideaux, a light-skinned black woman from San Francisco. Eunice?s fascination with the blues doesn?t always mean being the helpless victim of whatever created them. The life she has to lead is her own and no one else?s. The haunting language of Mojo Hand has no equivalent in twentieth-century fiction - it is matched only by the music that is its subject.

Download or read book 50 Anthology of Christmas Stories and Poems Classic Collection Illustrated written by Charles Dickens and published by Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 863 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enchanting, tragic, and hilarious fairy tales for adults and children grace these pages. An initial glance might lead you to assume that these are satirical versions of classic Christmas ghost stories. However, beneath the humorous stories involving ghosts, repentant sinners, miracles, and good peasants who find well-deserved happiness, lies a psychological undercurrent that sharpens the sense of intrigue and plot movement. Often this is aided by the unrelenting social exposure of the authors who always understood how intangible the “bourgeois paradise” truly was. Even today, idyllic dreams of tolerance, equality, and the triumph of justice have failed to materialize. Perhaps that is why people continue to read these classic stories while the snow falls outside and the lights glow on the Christmas tree. Contents: Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol The Chimes G.K.

Download or read book The Horror Comics written by William Schoell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Golden Age of the 1940s, through the Silver Age of the '60s, up until the early '80s--the end of the Bronze Age. Included are the earliest series, like American Comics Group's Adventures into the Unknown and Prize Comics' Frankenstein, and the controversial and gory comics of the '40s, such as EC's infamous and influential Tales from the Crypt. The resurgence of monster-horror titles during the '60s is explored, along with the return of horror anthologies like Dell Comics' Ghost Stories and Charlton's Ghostly Tales from the Haunted House. The explosion of horror titles following the relaxation of the comics code in the '70s is fully documented with chapters on Marvel's prodigious output--The Tomb of Dracula, Werewolf by Night and others--DC's anthologies--Witching Hour and Ghosts--and titles such as Swamp Thing, as well as the notable contributions of firms like Gold Key and Atlas. This book examines how horror comics exploited everyday terrors, and often reflected societal attitudes toward women and people who were different.
