Pages : 584
Book Description
Along with A Glastonbury Romance, Wolf Solent, and Maiden Castle, this modern classic originally published in 1934 forms the quartet that "are just about the only novels produced by an English writer that can fairly be compared with the fictions of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky" (George Steiner, The New Yorker). Drawing on his vivid childhood memories of the seaside town of Weymouth, Powys creates a striking collection of human oddities -- a famous clown, his mad brother, a naive Latin teacher, a young philosopher, an abortionist, and a wealth of others -- through which he shows his deep sympathy for the variety, the eccentricity, and the essential loneliness of human beings. Against the mysterious and haunting background of the sea, the sands, and the stones of the Dorset coast, the secrets of life are revealed through the everfascinating patterns of human behavior.

Passions of the Earth in Human Existence, Creativity, and Literature
Author: Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401009309
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Literature reveals that the hidden strings of the human `passional soul' are the creative source of the specifically human existence. Continuing the inquiry into the `elemental passions of the soul' and the Human Creative Soul pursued in several previous volumes of this series, the present volume focuses on the `passions of the earth', bringing to light some of the primogenital existential threads of the innermost bonds of the Human Condition and mother earth. In Tymieniecka's words, the studies purpose to unravel the essential bond between the living human being and the earth - a bond that lies at the heart of our existence. A heightened awareness of this bond should enlighten our situation and help us find our existential bearings.
