Book Description
A distant storm is approaching...the wind pulls loose Jacob's black hair from its leather binding, whips it wildly around his face as he kneels by his wife's grave... But in the blink of an eye, the cemetery vanishes, and his surroundings appear to look as they had hundreds of years ago... As in slow motion, he watches in terror as the flowers he placed on the cold wet earth of the grave, now rest on cold flesh! With trembling hands that no longer ache with age, he touches what cannot be reality--a naked, young woman tortured and staked to the ground. She moans... His life is about to begin...

Faculty of Murder
Author: June Wright
Publisher: Verse Chorus Press
ISBN: 1891241648
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Mother Paul, June Wright’s beloved nun-detective, returns to her sleuthing ways after she takes up a new position as warden of a student hall of residence at the University of Melbourne. No sooner has Judith Mornane arrived on campus than she startles her fellow residents by announcing her intention to discover the murderer of her sister, who disappeared from the same dorm a year earlier. The ever-curious Mother Paul is drawn to investigate what happened to Judith’s sister—did she simply run off for reasons best known to herself, as the police concluded, or could it be she really was murdered? Was her disappearance perhaps linked to a tragedy that happened at around the same time—the accidental drowning (in her bathtub) of the wife of one of the college’s professors? Was that drowning in fact as accidental as the official investigation suggested? Mother Paul believes the two events are connected somehow, and a further tragedy, the faked-suicide death of one of her student charges, convinces her that a particularly cruel and clever murderer is still at work within the college. She is not above a little subterfuge in the interest of discovering the truth and moves her colleagues, the students, and even the police around like so many figures on a chessboard until finally, amid high drama, the murderer is revealed.

Magical Criticism
Author: Christopher Bracken
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226069923
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
During the Enlightenment, Western scholars racialized ideas, deeming knowledge based on reality superior to that based on ideality. Scholars labeled inquiries into ideality, such as animism and soul-migration, “savage philosophy,” a clear indicator of the racism motivating the distinction between the real and the ideal. In their view, the savage philosopher mistakes connections between signs for connections between real objects and believes that discourse can have physical effects—in other words, they believe in magic. Christopher Bracken’s Magical Criticism brings the unacknowledged history of this racialization to light and shows how, even as we have rejected ethnocentric notions of “the savage,” they remain active today in everything from attacks on postmodernism to Native American land disputes. Here Bracken reveals that many of the most influential Western thinkers dabbled in savage philosophy, from Marx, Nietzsche, and Proust, to Freud, C. S. Peirce, and Walter Benjamin. For Bracken, this recourse to savage philosophy presents an opportunity to reclaim a magical criticism that can explain the very real effects created by the discourse of historians, anthropologists, philosophers, the media, and governments.
