A Little Book of the Green Man

Book Description
Who is the green man who stares down enigmatically for the corbels and capitals of churches across Europe? He has been linked to Robin Hood, Pan, the Oak King and the Holly King. For such a blatantly Pagan image to have persisted in Christian churches all over Europe surely implies a tremendous power and significance.

The Green Man
Author: Kingsley Amis
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1590176162
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
The owner of a haunted country inn contends with death, fatherhood, romantic woes, and alcoholism in this humorous and “rattling good ghost story” from a Booker Prize–winning author (The New York Times) Maurice Allington has reached middle age and is haunted by death. As he says, “I honestly can’t see why everybody who isn’t a child, everybody who’s theoretically old enough to have understood what death means, doesn’t spend all his time thinking about it. It’s a pretty arresting thought.” He also happens to own and run a country inn that is haunted. The Green Man opens as Maurice’s father drops dead (had he seen something in the room?) and continues as friends and family convene for the funeral. Maurice’s problems are many and increasing: How to deal with his own declining health? How to reach out to a teenage daughter who watches TV all the time? How to get his best friend’s wife in the sack? How to find another drink? (And another.) And then there is always death. The Green Man is a ghost story that hits a live nerve, a very black comedy with an uncannily happy ending: in other words, Kingsley Amis at his best.

Book Description
How would you greet a man from another planet? With scientists declaring that manned rockets may, perhaps in the next ten years, be shot to the moon, isn't it just as possible that some being from a far-off planet might pay us earth creatures a visit-tomorrow, next week-at any time? In Harold M. Sherman's exciting story, THE GREEN MAN, you get an advance idea of how the great men and women of this earth-how you, yourself, would react, when a CREATURE from ANOTHER WORLD arrives. Numar, THE GREEN MAN pays us a visit, traveling over a trillion miles from his planet, Talamaya, via space ship, to land on our world. This is quite possible the most amazing story you have ever read-more amazing still when you consider that it COULD happen!

Pages : 192
Book Description
The Green movement and the women's movement have picked up on the scientific Gaia hypothesis, which suggests that the planet Earth is a single living organism. The next stage of the ecological revolution begins with the reawakening of the male counterpart of the Goddess, the Green Man, and archetype found in folklore and religious art from the earliest times, and especially linked with Christian origins of modern science. Long suppressed, the archetype emerges now to challenge us to heal our relationship with nature.

The Mythic Forest, the Green Man and the Spirit of Nature
Author: Gary R. Varner
Publisher: Algora Publishing
ISBN: 087586435X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Mankind has given a recognizable face to the awesome and impalpable forces of nature in the image of the Green Man and the nature spirits that this book explores. The ways in which different societies and different craftsmen have depicted these spirits display the wide creative range of the human imagination, but the persistence of the theme suggests that in all their many facets these spirits represent a deep, primordial sense that humans have shared since civilization began. For the very origin and message of these images have remained the same, even if somewhat altered over time. Traditional customs from around the world, from the rites that celebrate spring and egg on the forces of fertility to folk health remedies and the use of talismans to ward off illness and other evils, show some surprising similarities and hint at the shared origins of human culture. Even though the original significance of many customs has been lost or diluted, they still hold an appeal and many towns even today are re-introducing seasonal fairs to recreate the link between man and nature. Varner presents examples, ancient and new, from Europe and Asia, East Coast and West, and identifies in particular the different guises of the Green Man who has figured in architecture since before the advent of Christianity and still makes his appearance today, peering out from behind his leaves on California banks and New York brownstone houses.

Green Man, Earth Angel
Author: Tom Cheetham
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791484157
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Green Man, Earth Angel explores the central role of imagination for understanding the place of humans in the cosmos. Tom Cheetham suggests that lives can only be completely whole if human beings come to recognize that the human and natural worlds are part of a vast living network and that the material and spiritual worlds are deeply interconnected. Central to this reimagining is an examination of the place of language in human life and art and in the worldview that the prophetic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—presuppose. If human language is experienced only as a subset of a vastly more-than-human whole, then it is not only humans who speak, but also God and the world with all its creatures. If humans' internal poetry and creative imaginations are part of a greater conversation, then language can have the vital power to transform the human soul, and the soul of the world itself.
