Download or read book The Book of Dark Academia written by D K S Dhara and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-08-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dark academia anthology of poetry, art, quotes, musings, fashion, and more... Embark into a world of midnight shadows and secrets, of books and learning, of mystery and intrigue. A place where the quest for knowledge is a never-ending journey. This book is written for the dark academic: the student, the scholar, a seeker of truth, a lover of lost art and dusty tomes. For keepers of the perpetually burning flame. So take my hand, dear reader, turn the page, and let yourself fall into the world of dark academia Within the walls of this labyrinth, your mind will be enticed by titillating quotes, original dark academia poetry, paintings of women reading books and partaking in sword-fights, lush gothic architecture, eastern and western mythology, DA inspired music (from Vivaldi's darkly passionate Winter to instrumentals like Enemies to Lovers, anyone?). You'll also discover the history of dark academia and its various subcultures, i.e. light academia, witchy academia, classic academia, etc, and dark academia fashion from around the world (there is a whole other world beyond the tweed and blazers that will leave your aesthetic palate delighted). Since dark academia and books go hand in hand, it would be egregious to write The Book of Dark Academia without mentioning DA book recommendations (yes, cult classics like The Secret History and Babel but also some hidden treasures, including dark academia books by POC authors). This coffee table art book is also rich with darkly beautiful excerpts from authors, poets, and philosophers who have inspired generations of dark academics (Rumi, Friedrich Nietzsche, Rabindranath Tagore, Virginia Woolf, Emily Dickinson, Sappho, Oscar Wilde, Carl Jung, Lao Tzu, Muhammad Iqbal, Sigmund Freud, Ovid, Jane Austen, and many more). While this dark academia anthology has that signature aesthetically moody, dreamy flavor, it also offers practical guidance, like where to meet fellow dark academics, how to connect with yourself deeper through shadow work, a list of dark academic activities you may not have thought of to indulge yourself in yet, and quotes that make for thought-provoking journaling prompts. Of course, we cannot let only your mind be satiated. Your eyes will also have a visual feast of their own. Every page is filled with gorgeous photography art that captures the allure of dark academia and will transport to a world of shadowy libraries, secret societies, and midnight gardens. Whether you're an dark academic yourself, simply intrigued about this fascinating subculture, or gifting this book to that friend, The Book of Dark Academia makes a deliciously aesthetic coffee table book or read for any bookshelf.

Book excerpt: The debut novel from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Interestings and The Female Persuasion, a story of three college students’ shared fascination with poetry and death, and how one of them must face difficult truths in order to leave her obsession behind. Published when she was only twenty-three and written while she was a student at Brown, Sleepwalking marks the beginning of Meg Wolitzer’s acclaimed career. Filled with her usual wisdom, compassion and insight, Sleepwalking tells the story of the three notorious “death girls,” so called on the Swarthmore campus because they dress in black and are each absorbed in the work and suicide of a different poet: Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, and Wolitzer’s creation Lucy Asher, a gifted writer who drowned herself at twenty-four. At night the death girls gather in a candlelit room to read their heroines’ work aloud. But an affair with Julian, an upperclassman, pushes sensitive , struggling Claire Danziger—she of the Lucy Asher obsession-–to consider to what degree her “death girl” identity is really who she is. As she grapples with her feelings for Julian, her own understanding of herself and her past begins to shift uncomfortably and even disturbingly. Finally, Claire takes drastic measures to confront the facts about herself that she has been avoiding for years.
