Sinopse

In "Demonology and Devil Lore," Moncure D. Conway embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the historical and cultural dimensions of beliefs surrounding demons and the devil. Utilizing a blend of literary analysis and ethnographic study, Conway interweaves various mythologies, religious texts, and folk traditions, creating a rich tapestry that contextualizes the evolution of these fearsome figures in human imagination. The book is marked by its erudite prose and a critical lens that interrogates the sociopolitical influences shaping demonologies through the ages, revealing how these narratives resonate with human psychology and societal fears. Conway, an esteemed American transcendentalist and abolitionist, draws upon his extensive academic background and experiences in various cultural settings to craft this work. His deep-seated interest in the interplay of morality, religion, and the supernatural likely stems from his upbringing in a theologically diverse environment. Through his philosophical inquiries, Conway seeks to bridge the gap between rational thought and spiritual phenomena, reflecting his enlightenment ideals and commitment to humanistic values. "Demonology and Devil Lore" is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of religion, folklore, and literature. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Conway's nuanced perspective enlightening and provocative, as he challenges conventional perceptions of evil and its manifestations in various cultures, inviting a deeper understanding of our collective fears and the narratives that shape them.

    Food critic Sarah Greenberg is a normal thirty-nine-year-old content with her ordinary life. In fact, the only real excitement she has is the occasional hand she lends at her family’s Chicago magic shop. 
    Until one day when the ordinary becomes extraordinary and a simple introduction to her boyfriend’s teenage daughter unearths a family trait long dormant in Sarah. 
    Without even trying, she can do magic. 
    Her newfound, though late-blooming abilities make her part of a world she never imagined, and her family’s long lineage of Magycians unravels Sarah’s world. 
    But when she discovers her family’s store is in danger of being taken away by an old acquaintance, Zondra Bex, Sarah is forced to face an enemy more skilled and decades older than her. 
    Sarah must learn to develop her skills to protect her family from a foe that wants to wield the power embedded in the store’s location and rule the Magyckal world. But will embracing her newly discovered abilities eradicate everything she believed herself to be? 
    Part rom-com, part The Dresden Files with a dash of Jewish mythology, ENCHANTING SARAH GREENBERG is a funny, fantastical look into a woman’s struggle to find herself, believe in herself, and prove to everyone that she is extraordinary in her own way. 
    “Inglis has a light, comedic touch with this fantasy romance, Enchanting Sarah Greenberg…slightly bonkers worldbuilding brings the fun without ever sacrificing genuine emotion; despite the magical backdrop, Sarah and Colin feel wonderfully grounded. Readers will be spellbound.” – Publisher’s Weekly
