Download or read book A Beam of Sunlight in the Deep Forest written by Édouard Schuré and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Édouard Schuré was a 19th century French author and occultist who spent his life attempting to translate the ineffable realm of spiritual knowledge into literature. Prolific and enigmatic, Schuré navigated many of the seminal movements of his time, developing friendships with prominent figures such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Stéphane Mallarmé, and Richard Wagner. Yet, despite these affinities, Schuré refused to adhere to any one group or dogma. Perhaps due to his singular persona, Schuré has since lived in a netherworld of historical neglect.A Beam of Sunlight in the Deep Forest is a landmark collection of Schuré's prose works, offering a robust introduction to the forgotten figure. Among the texts included are Proses mystiques, short pieces invoking disembodied voices, philosophical anguish, and dark woods haunted by a virgin cloaked in a panther pelt. Central to the collection is The Angel and the Sphinx, Schuré's hallucinatory novel of sexual possession and spiritual longing set against a Medieval Germany of fog?enshrouded mountaintops infused with black magic. Also included is a reminiscence of a boyhood mystical experience at the Baden spa, as well as an examination of notable correspondence. Taken together, these texts offer truths about the artistic process and the spiritual development of humanity in the face of an ever more industrialized, and secularized, world.All texts in A Beam of Sunlight in the Deep Forest are newly translated and presented with an introduction by Sam Kunkel, a scholar of 19th century religious literature.

Download or read book The Artist and the Assassin written by Mark Frutkin and published by The Porcupine's Quill. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rome, 1600. In the shadowed cellars of Cardinal Del Monte’s palazzo, a shaft of light illuminates the face of Luca Passarelli. Across the room, behind an enormous canvas, the brilliant, mercurial artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio paints with sure brushstrokes Luca’s likeness into a new masterpiece. Caravaggio is both revered and reviled by his patrons as well as his fellow artists. His innovative paintings and his blazing temper have made him powerful friends, but also powerful enemies—enemies who are determined to quench the flame of his talent. What Caravaggio does not know is that Luca is a professional assassin, a bitter and spiteful man who, in his dark past, has ‘breathed in death’ and has committed murder on multiple occasions. What the artist does not know is that when next they meet it will not be a canvas that brings them together, but rather revenge ... and death.
