A Voyage to Arcturus - Including "The Haunted Woman"

David Lindsay

Beschreibung

David Lindsay's "A Voyage to Arcturus" is a compelling exploration of metaphysical themes interwoven with a fantastical narrative. The book, first published in 1920, unfolds as an allegorical journey through the imaginary planet of Tormance, challenging the boundaries of reality and perception. Lindsay's prose is rich and lyrical, characterized by vivid imagery and intricate world-building that mirrors the early 20th-century literary context of modernism, where existential inquiries and spiritual quests began to dominate the narrative landscape. The protagonist, Maskull, embarks on a quest for enlightenment, encountering various beings that embody philosophical concepts, ultimately questioning the nature of existence itself. Lindsay, a Scottish author and philosopher, was profoundly influenced by his interest in metaphysics and mysticism, as well as his experiences in the Scottish Highlands. This background compelled him to explore the depth of human experience through allegory and symbolic representation. His blending of fantasy with philosophical inquiry reflects a broader intellectual movement of his time—a search for meaning in an increasingly complex world. Readers intrigued by philosophical speculation and rich allegorical narratives will find "A Voyage to Arcturus" exceptionally rewarding. It invites introspection and contemplation, making it a timeless exploration of the human condition, resonating with anyone seeking deeper truths beyond the physical realm.

Pigeons - The Fascinating Saga...

Andrew D. Blechman

A "quirky, endlessly entertaining" look at the surprising history of the pigeon (Simon Winchester). 
 
 
  
Domesticated since the dawn of man, pigeons have been used as crucial communicators in war by every major historical superpower from ancient Egypt to the United States and are credited with saving thousands of lives. They have been worshipped as fertility goddesses and revered as symbols of peace. Charles Darwin relied heavily on pigeons to help formulate and support his theory of evolution. Yet today they are reviled as "rats with wings." 
 
 
  
To research this lively history of the humble pigeon, the author traveled across the United States and Europe to meet with pigeon fanciers and pigeon haters in a quest to find out how we came to misunderstand one of mankind’s most helpful and steadfast companions. Pigeons captures a Brooklyn man's quest to win the Main Event (the pigeon world's equivalent of the Kentucky Derby), as well as a convention dedicated to breeding the perfect bird. The author participates in a live pigeon shoot where entrants pay $150; he tracks down Mike Tyson, the nation's most famous pigeon lover; he spends time with Queen Elizabeth's Royal Pigeon Handler; and he sheds light on a radical "pro-pigeon underground" in New York City. In Pigeons, Andrew D. Blechman reveals for the first time the remarkable story behind this seemingly unremarkable bird.

The Autumn Ghost - How the...

Hannah Wunsch

Americans knew polio as the "summer plague." In countries further North, however, the virus arrived later in the year. It was described by one writer as "the autumn ghost." 
 
 
 
Intensive care units and mechanical ventilation are the crucial foundation of modern medical care: without them, the appalling death toll of the COVID-19 pandemic would be even higher. In The Autumn Ghost, Dr. Hannah Wunsch traces the origins of these two innovations back to a polio epidemic in the autumn of 1952. Drawing together testimony from doctors, nurses, medical students, and patients, Wunsch relates a gripping tale of an epidemic that changed the world. 
 
 
 
Wunsch tells the true story of how insiders and iconoclasts came together in one overwhelmed hospital in Copenhagen to save the lives of many polio patients dying of respiratory failure. Their radical advances in care marked a turning point in the treatment of patients around the world—from the rise of life support and the creation of intensive care units to the evolution of rehabilitation medicine. 
 
 
 
The Autumn Ghost will leave listeners in awe of the courage of those who battled the polio epidemic, and grateful for the modern medical care they pioneered.
