Here and Hereafter

Barry Pain

Beschreibung

In 'Here and Hereafter', Barry Pain weaves a tapestry of speculative fiction steeped in existential queries and metaphysical contemplations. This classic work transcends mere storytelling, delving into the profound realm of what lies beyond the corporeal experience. With a deft literary style marked by eloquent prose and introspective dialogue, Pain explores the nuances of life, death, and the ambiguous territories between. Set within a diverse literary context that ranges from the supernatural to the mundanely human, the narrative showcases Pain's mastery in blending the fantastical with deeply philosophical musings, hallmarks of the late Victorian to Edwardian era fiction.
Barry Pain, an English journalist and writer renowned for his contributions to the world of literature at the turn of the 20th century, brings to 'Here and Hereafter' a culmination of his life's observations and intellectual curiosities. The lucidity with which he approaches the themes of existence and afterlife is undoubtedly informed by his own experiences and the zeitgeist of his age, a period rife with spiritualism and scientific discoveries that challenged traditional perspectives on life and its continuance.
By presenting 'Here and Hereafter', DigiCat Publishing invites the discerning reader to embark on a journey through Pain's eloquent examination of life's greatest enigma. This book is a seminal read for those entranced by the interplay of the mystical and the rational, and for anyone seeking a narrative that not only entertains but also provokes thought about the inevitable journey from 'Here' to 'Hereafter'. It is a work that deserves a place on the shelf of any literature aficionado who values the timelessness of existential exploration and the beauty of classical literary craftsmanship.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
