Man Visible and Invisible
by Charles W LeadbeaterMany people have claimed to see colors surrounding others.In religious art, the nimbus of glory is very often depicted about the heads of saints or holy figures.—If there actually are such colored phenomena, what is their purpose?—How constant are the colors of your aura?—What happens to it when you have a sudden outburst of devotion? Of anger? Of fear?In Man Invisible and Visible, the clairvoyant, author, and renowned Theosophist, Charles W. Leadbeater, shares his vision of humankind as a spark of the Divine, not merely physical creatures, as shown by the auras we project at different stages of emotional and spiritual growth.This esoteric classic examines the invisible bodies of humans, showing how the colors of the aura change with different emotional states.Charles W. Leadbeater is recognised as one of the greatest clairvoyants of this century. He was the author of The Chakras, still one of the most “in-demand” books on an occult subject. With fellow clairvoyant Annie Besant, he co-authored the famous book Thought Forms (1901). Leadbeater was one of the most respected researchers on such subjects because he took extraordinary pains to authenticate the results of his investigations.

Spectres from the Past: Slavery and the Politics of "History" in West African and African-American Literature (Routledge Research in American Literature and Culture)
by Portia OwusuSpectres from the Past: The "History" of Slavery in West African and African-American Narratives examines the merit of the claim that West African writers, in comparison to African-Americans authors, deliberately expunge the history of slavery from literary narratives. The book explores slavery in contemporary West African and African-American literature by looking at the politics of history and memory. It interrogates notions of History and memory by considering the possibility that shared traumas, such as West African and African-American experiences of slavery, can be remembered and historicised differently, according to critical factors such as socio-economic realities, cultural beliefs and familial traditions. At the heart of the book are compelling and new readings of slavery in six literary narratives that draws on cultural philosophies, musicology and linguistics to demonstrate diverse and unusual ways that Black writers in West Africa and North America write about slavery in literature.

L'ultimo baluardo del grande accaparratore texano: Una storia di libri e ossessione
by Steve VernonL'ultimo baluardo del grande accaparratore texano - Una storia di libri e ossessione Steve Vernon rende omaggio agli scrittori e ai bibliofili horror nel suo racconto di Texas Jack Page, un collezionista di romanzi horror rari che incontra la propria fine in modo molto inquietante e sorprendente. Texas Jack Page, alla vigilia del suo 48esimo compleanno, svuotò gli ultimi cartoni di libri, posizionandoli volume dopo volume davanti alla porta di casa; un barile di Amontillado umano che si inumava dentro una tomba di tomi in una roulotte argentata di alluminio luccicante della Airstream. "La storia è un capolavoro. Un collezionista di libri in età avanzata di nome Texas Jack Page ripensa alla sua vita, ai suoi amori, speranze e rimpianti e si perde in riflessioni filosofiche ripensando ai libri che lo hanno aiutato ad andare avanti. Gli avidi lettori e i collezionisti si riconosceranno in Texas Jack Page; tutti gli altri saranno colpiti dal pathos di quel personaggio. Non dirò altro per non rovinare l'effetto, aggiungo solo che questa storia mi ha toccato il cuore e mi ha fatto sorridere. Onestamente non consiglierò mai abbastanza questo libro. Il racconto è appassionante e intrigante e il libro è qualcosa di meraviglioso, creato con sincero affetto." - Whispers of Wickedness "Steve Vernon rende omaggio agli scrittori e ai bibliofili horror nel suo racconto di Texas Jack Page, un collezionista di libri, fra i quali romanzi horror. L'ossessione di Texas Jack per i libri inizia in tenera età e prosegue fino a dominare tutta la sua vita, per condurre alla fine a degli sviluppi molto singolari." - Monster Librarian
