Sinopse

In 'Hieroglyphics,' Arthur Machen delves into the intricate relationship between art and the supernatural, exploring the often-overlooked depths of human experience. With a unique blend of rich, evocative prose and philosophical musings, Machen constructs a narrative that oscillates between the mystical and the mundane. The book is a precursor to the modernist movement, revealing Machen's understanding of symbolism and the significance of the 'unseen' in art, effectively challenging the conventional perceptions of reality and expression at the turn of the 20th century. Arthur Machen, a Welsh author and mystic, is renowned for his influential works that blur the lines between horror, fantasy, and philosophical inquiry. His background is steeped in both the occult and a robust literary tradition that includes Gothic literature and symbolism. These influences, combined with his enchantment with the unknown, led him to explore the profound ways in which art engages with the metaphysical realm, culminating in this thought-provoking text. 'Hieroglyphics' is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the intersections of literature, philosophy, and spirituality. Machen's exploration of the hidden meanings within art invites readers to reflect on their own perceptions and encourages a deeper understanding of the complexities that lie beneath the surface.

    Each time the globe turns, murder strikes… 
    1597, London. When Beatrice’s husband returns from exploring the New World, he comes home with unexpected company: a mysterious woman, and an enormous painted globe. 
    As Hugh refuses to explain who their female guest is, Beatrice’s foreboding grows. The unwieldy globe now strikes her as sinister – a reminder of the world of secrets pervading her household. 
    Then one night, the great, hulking globe begins to turn of its own accord. Terrifying new illustrations appear on its face – and when untimely deaths ensue, Beatrice is convinced that the drawings are connected. 
    Desperate to prove that she is not paranoid, Beatrice risks everything to uncover the truth. What sinister force is behind these killings? What really happened on Hugh’s excursion to the Americas? Who is the strange woman who won’t leave her house? And on this otherworldly map of murders, who will be painted as the final victim?
