  The Best, most complete version of this cult classic. 
  First published in 1895, this work has survived as a cult book. It starts with an occult student who is surprised by a ghostly, uninvited guest, who came to unveil his past as a member of a secret society which he betrayed; his punishment for this? A journey inside the hollow earth, to slowly abandon his humanity and to be a keeper of knowledge and something else... A journey to ETIDORHPA. 
  To say this is an early science fiction narrative wouldn't be enough, to add that this is a fantastic story about an initiate’s journey to the earth's interior, a compendium of scientific hypothesis that goes from geology to metaphysics, an illustration of the miseries and hopes of men; that would, at least, be a better example to describe this singular work, inasmuch as this great narration contains multiple layers of interpretation. 
  This Extended Edition includes:Three extra chapters from a 1901 edition (not found on other modern reprints!)Five pages of an incomplete Etidorhpa sequel by John Uri Lloyd.Fully illustrated. 65B&W illustrations. Including all illustrations from previous editions

  Pothivelu Pandaram is known as a successful and God-fearing man about town–he has a loyal wife, three daughters, and ample money to pay for their dowries. However, it is an open secret that his success is fueled by a tawdry yet deeply profitable trade–for he owns a group of physically deformed beggars and places them outside various temples to make money for him. The beggars are mere "items" to Pandaram, hardly human, to be bought and sold like cattle. But when the novel descends right into their world–the world of the "abyss"–and places the listener in their midst, it takes on a marvelous, unexpected turn.Bitter, black, raw, and yet laced with humor and tenderness, The Abyss (Ezhaam Ulagam) is one of the most acclaimed works of the great Tamil writer Jeyamohan. It was adapted into an acclaimed film in 2009 called Naan Kadavul (I am God) which won a National Film Award for its director. Written with an unflinching eye and suffused with a deep existential longing, it is an extraordinary novel–in its terrain, its fundamental questions about humanity and its depiction of human suffering and liberation.

  Understanding the Hillbilly...

  Flannery O’Connor is one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. Her novels and short stories—shockingly violent, absurdly comic, spiritually potent—continue to entertain, beguile, and transform readers of all backgrounds to this day.  For many encountering them for the first time, O’Connor’s stories of backwoods prophets and outcasts feel strangely nihilistic and dark. Others familiar with her letters and essays appreciate the deep Catholic understanding of sin and grace that animates them. In this new book, Fr. Damian Ference proposes a more precise lens for decoding Flannery O’Connor’s narrative art, one that originates in O’Connor’s own words about herself: Hillbilly Thomism. The author examines the various ways in which St. Thomas Aquinas and the philosophical tradition of Thomism shaped not only O’Connor’s view of reality but also the stories she told to help us see and know it.    Featuring an impressive array of biographical and literary evidence and extended analysis of her short stories “The River,” “Parker’s Back,” and “The Displaced Person,” Understanding the Hillbilly Thomist is an important look at the intersection of medieval philosophy and modern fiction in one of the most treasured artists of the American South.
