Synopsis

"Tagus River Saints" explores how the Tagus River profoundly shaped Iberia's religious history, from the Moorish era through the Christian Reconquista. It examines the river as a dynamic site of cultural exchange and the evolution of religious pilgrimages along its banks. The book highlights how the Tagus, acting as a natural border and transportation route, fostered both conflict and collaboration among diverse religious communities, impacting the region's religious identity. Intriguingly, the Moors adapted pre-existing religious sites, and the river became central to pilgrimage routes, showcasing the interplay between geography and faith.

 
The book begins by establishing the historical context of the Tagus River valley, including its pre-Islamic roots and Moorish transformations. It progresses to examine the rise of Christian pilgrimage routes, focusing on sites like Toledo and Santarém, before investigating the ongoing religious syncretism even after the Reconquista. By interweaving historical analysis with vivid descriptions, "Tagus River Saints" challenges traditional narratives, demonstrating that the Tagus River was a catalyst for religious innovation, adaptation, and conflict throughout Iberian history.

JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis: The...

Charles River Editors

For more than half a century, the name J.R.R. Tolkien has been synonymous with epic fantasy. Known across the world for his classic The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Tolkien both revived interest in fantasy literature and set the standard for the genre. Today he is widely acknowledged as the “Father” of modern fantasy and its most famous author. While Tolkien made Middle Earth famous and vice-versa, his works were influenced by a lifetime of his own personal experiences. His tales concern creatures of myth, yet the plot lines and characters are human at heart. Tolkien drew his inspiration from war, nature, history, love, and language, and through the lens of fantasy he examined bravery, loyalty and friendship. That essential “humanness” at the core of his writing, whether it was displayed by a man, hobbit, or even a tree, struck a chord with readers that continues to resonate today. The Hobbit has been released in more than 40 languages, and The Lord of the Rings has sold more than 150 million copies.
Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were good friends before the peaks of their careers, meeting together at Oxford’s University College to read and discuss the unfinished works of the members. Although they discussed readings, they were in essence literary enthusiasts who gathered to celebrate writing and literature, especially fantasy. The Inklings were both important and informal. “Properly speaking, the Inklings was neither a club nor a literary society, though it partook of the nature of both,” said Warren Lewis, a member of the group who also happened to be C.S. Lewis’ older brother. “There were no rules, officers, agendas, or formal elections.” It was a place to simply talk of new ideas and literature in an environment that embraced fantasy, and one of the new ideas was that of mythopoeia, or creating mythology to go along with fiction.

Red List - MI5 and British...

David Caute

A gripping history of the Security Service and its covert surveillance on British writers and intellectuals in the twentieth century 
In the popular imagination, MI5—or the Security Service—is know chiefly as the branch of the British state responsible for chasing down those who pose a threat to the country’s national security, from Nazi fifth columnists during the Second World War to Soviet spies during the Cold War and today’s domestic extremists. Yet, aided by the release of official documents to the National Archives, David Caute argues in this radical and revelatory history of the Security Service that suspicion often fell on those who posed no threat to national security. Instead, this “other history” of MI5, ignored in official accounts, was often fueled by the political prejudices of MI5’s personnel and involved a huge program of surveillance against anyone who dared question the status quo. 
Caute, a prominent historian and expert on the history of the Cold War, tells the story of the massive state operation to track the activities of a range of journalists, academics, scientists, filmmakers, writers, and others who, during the twentieth century, the Security Service perceived as a threat to the national interest. Those who were tracked include such prominent figures as Kingsley Amis, George Orwell, Doris Lessing, John Berger, Benjamin Britten, Eric Hobsbawm, Michael Foot, Harriet Harman, and others.
