The King and the Corpse


A classic work of comparative mythology by acclaimed scholar Heinrich ZimmerDrawing from Eastern and Western literatures, Heinrich Zimmer presents a selection of stories linked together by their common concern for the problem of our eternal conflict with the forces of evil. Beginning with a tale from the Arabian Nights, this theme unfolds in legends from Irish paganism, medieval Christianity, the Arthurian cycle, and early Hinduism. In retelling these tales, Zimmer discloses the meanings of their seemingly unrelated symbols and suggests the philosophical wholeness of their myths.

I, in the Shadows


There’s a ghost haunting Drew Tarpin’s new room. Liam Orville has been dead for ten months and has no idea how to move on. But the longer he stays, the more likely it is he’ll degrade into an energy consuming husk—which Drew is more concerned about than her grades or her inability to make meaningful connections with other students. Drew is everything Liam never was when he was alive, but they do share some common ground: Drew finds herself hopelessly attracted to—and completely tongue-tied around—Hannah Sullivan, who happens to be Liam’s former best friend. After a run-in with a ghost-eating monster leaves Drew and Liam desperate for answers, they strike up a deal: In return for Drew investigating why Liam is still around, he’ll help her talk to Hannah. But Liam’s time is running out, and if Drew doesn’t help him move on, he risks becoming a monster himself.

Diletantismus a další eseje


Rudolf Kassner (1873 – 1959) byl jednou z nejzajímavějších a zároveň nejméně známých osobností evropského kulturního myšlení první poloviny 20. století. Narodil se ve Velkých Pavlovicích v rakousko?uherské monarchii a navzdory dětské obrně, která ho pro zbytek života odkázala na berle, se stal vášnivým cestovatelem, poutavým esejistou, překladatelem a kulturním filozofem. Kassner studoval filologii, latinu a filozofii ve Vídni a Berlíně a celý život usiloval o to, aby porozuměl lidské představivosti, kritizoval modernitu a zkoumal mystiku, hermetismus i filozofické myšlenky dalekých kultur. Jeho dílo, které zahrnuje originální eseje, aforismy a filozofické studie, ovlivnilo řadu jeho významných současníků, například Rainera Maria Rilkeho. Kassner byl třináctkrát nominován na Nobelovu cenu za literaturu, a to od uznávaných profesorů a kulturních osobností z Rakouska, Německa a Švýcarska. I když cenu nakonec nezískal, jeho myšlenky zůstávají trvalým odkazem evropské filozofie a literatury. Tato kniha o diletantismu napravuje jistý dluh vůči tomuto v mnohém podnětnému mysliteli.

Apparitions


Two nuns, and one obsessed mother, doing everything in their power to achieve communion with the one they love. Sister Lugarda de la Encarnación takes the lash, and an unnamed mother gets down on her hands and knees – sacramental postures demanded by inscrutable men. Apparitions is a novel of ecstasy pursued, desire transmogrified into devotion, and obedience as a passionately pursued, not entirely free choice. Erotic, and suffused with painting, music, art, it’s an incantatory exploration of what it means to abandon the world, and to use your body – in pain, and in pleasure – as a way of finally coming to know the divine.
