Exploring occultist, magician, poet, painter, and writer Aleister Crowley’s longstanding and intimate association with Paris, Tobias Churton provides the first detailed account of Crowley’s activities in the City of Light. Using previously unpublished letters and diaries, Churton explores how Crowley was initiated into the Golden Dawn’s Inner Order in Paris in 1900 and how, in 1902, he relocated to Montparnasse. Soon engaged to Anglo-Irish artist Eileen Gray, Crowley pontificates and parties with English, American, and French artists gathered around sculptor Auguste Rodin: all keen to exhibit at Paris’s famed Salon d’Automne. In 1904--still dressed as “Prince Chioa Khan” and recently returned from his Book of the Law experience in Cairo--Crowley dines with novelist Arnold Bennett at Paillard’s. In 1908 Crowley is back in Paris to prove it’s possible to attain Samadhi (or “knowledge and conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel”) while living a modern life in a busy metropolis. In 1913 he organizes a demonstration for artistic and sexual freedom at Oscar Wilde’s tomb. Until war spoils all in 1914, Paris is Crowley’s playground. The author details how, after returning from America in 1920, and though based at his “Abbey of Thelema” in Sicily, Crowley can’t leave Paris alone. When ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Aleister Crowley (1875 – 1947) – britský okultista, spisovateľ, horolezec, šachista, maliar, astrológ, básnik, prozaik, jogín a kritik spoločnosti. Vplyvný člen niekoľkých okultných organizácií býval označovaný za „najskazenejšieho muža sveta". Dnes je považovaný za jednu z najvplyvnejších osobností britskej histórie. Svojím životom a dielom inšpiroval mnoho významných umelcov. Hlásili sa k nemu členovia The Beatles, Ozzy Osbourne, Jimmy Page, David Bowie a svojím odkazom výrazne ovplyvnil tvorbu britských heavymetalových kapiel.Novela Testament Magdalen Blairovej (1913) je denníkom mladej ženy schopnej čítať myšlienky. Počas univerzitného štúdia si jej nezvyčajné schopnosti všimne profesor Blair a čoskoro ju požiada o ruku. Krátko po svadbe však profesor vážne ochorie a Magdalen tak musí byť nielen svedkom pomalého a nevýslovne bolestivého utrpenia milovaného životného partnera, ale zároveň je nútená počuť a cítiť trýznivé myšlienky umierajúceho manžela. Po profesorovom skone však Magdalen aj naďalej vníma jeho myseľ, akoby ani smrť nepripravila nebohého o vedomie. Zbierka pôvodne časopisecky vydaných poviedok Zlaté vetvičky (1918) je výrazne inšpirovaná monumentálnou štúdiou o magickom a mystickom myslení od anglického etnografa a kultúrneho antropológa J. G. Frazera Zlatá ratolesť. Osem pútavých a hrôzostrašných rozprávok intenzívne dramatizuje témy z Frazerovho diela – od starovekej legendy o posvätnom dube, až po satanizmus v modernom Francúzsku. ...

Liber Aleph, Kniha moudrosti a bláznovství, je jedním z vrcholných děl Aleistera Crowleyho, napsaným počátkem roku 1918 v New Yorku, v době, kdy hledal nové směřování pro svět zdecimovaný hrůzami první světové války. Crowley napsal tuto knihu formou dlouhého dopisu adresovaného svému „magickému synovi“, v němž mu předává duchovní poznání a léty nashromážděnou zasvěceneckou moudrost. Jde tedy o soubor poučení, v němž podle vlastních slov vyjádřil „srdce své nauky v jejích nejhlubších a nejjemnějších dimenzích“.Kniha se skládá z více než dvou set krátkých kapitol, které pokrývají široké spektrum témat včetně kabalistické moudrosti, výkladu snů, vztahu mistra a žáka, povahy lásky a sexuality, smrti a zásvětí, zkoumání procesu duchovní transformace a mnoha dalších. Crowley zde nejen symbolickým jazykem zprostředkovává mystická tajemství, ale také vyzývá čtenáře, aby překonali své limity, zpochybnili zavedené názory a našli vlastní, autentickou cestu k osvícení. Jeho text je plný provokativních myšlenek, které vedou čtenáře k osobnímu růstu a pochopení síly své pravé vůle, svých rozhodnutí a tužeb. To všechno navíc předává krásným archaickým a epistolárním stylem, jenž odpovídá silně osobnímu a duchovně závažnému tématu knihy.Liber Aleph je zřejmě obsahově nejhutnější a nejvšestrannější expozice Crowleyho esoterní filosofie.

But her evidence may be vital in assisting Iris to track down suspected collaborators in the upper echelons of French society. Then Clara - or the girl who is claiming to be her - is found dead, in circumstances that point to murder. Thrown into the unfamiliar world of Parisian high society, Rowlands must track down the killer, and prevent further deaths - including his own. Allison & Busby are proud to publish a brand new instalment in the Blind Detective series, Murder in Paris. Koning''s books have won awards and attracted great critical and commercial success.

"Poverty is what I am writing about".In the late 1920s, Eric Blair resigned his post as a colonial policeman in Burma, immersed himself in the slums of Paris and London, and reinvented himself as George Orwell, one of the most revered prose stylists in the English language. Orwell decided to write about the lives of the poor - the dishwashers of Paris, the tramps of London - not by imagining poverty, but by experiencing poverty. The result is a book which is as provocative and incisive about class inequalities, homelessness, and social prejudices today as it was when it was first published in 1933.Down and Out in Paris and London was George Orwell''s first book, and it remains a masterpiece of prose writing. This edition is accompanied by an introduction which examines Orwell''s book for its literary, social, and political significance.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Rainer Maria Rilke offers a compelling portrait of Parisian life, art, and culture at the beginning of the 20th century.In 1902, the young German writer Rainer Maria Rilke traveled to Paris to write a monograph on the sculptor Auguste Rodin. He returned many times over the course of his life, by turns inspired and appalled by the city''s high culture and low society, and his writings give a fascinating insight into Parisian art and culture in the last century. Paris was a lifelong source of inspiration for Rilke. Perhaps most significantly, the letters he wrote about it formed the basis of his prose masterpiece, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. Much of this work, despite its perennial popularity in French, German, and Italian, has never before been translated into English. This volume brings together a translation of Rilke''s essay on poetry, ''Notes on the Melody of Things'' and the first English translation of Rilke''s experiences in Paris as observed by his French translator.

George Orwell is a difficult author to summarize. He was a would-be revolutionary who went to Eton, a political writer who abhorred dogma, a socialist who thrived on his image as a loner, and a member of the Imperial Indian Police who chronicled the iniquities of imperialism. Both the books in this volume were published in the 1930s, a \"a low, dishonest decade,\" as his coeval W.H. Auden described it. Orwell's subjects in Down and Out in Paris and London and The Road to Wigan Pier are the political and social upheavals of his time. He focusses on the sense of profound injustice, incipient violence, and malign betrayal that were ubiquitous in Europe in the 1930s. Orwell's honesty, courage, and sense of decency are inextricably bound up with the quasi-colloquial style that imbues his work with its extraordinary power. His descriptions of working in the slums of Paris, living the life of a tramp in England, and digging for coal with miners in the North make for a thoughtful, riveting account of the lives of the working poor and of one man's search for the truth.Our edition includes the following essays: Marrakech; How the Poor Die; Antisemitism in Britain; Notes ...

In late 1927, at the age of twenty-four, George Orwell relocated to a tiny flat on London’s Portobello Road, and from there embarked on a series of exploratory “tramping” expeditions to the city’s East End, then a place of great squalor and deprivation. Later he moved to Paris’s bohemian Latin Quarter, where, in early 1929, during a bout of serious illness, he was the victim of a robbery that left him in a state of near destitution, forcing him to work punishing hours in a series of menial jobs, including as a restaurant dishwasher. These real-life experiences laid the foundations for what would be the young writer’s first full-length work.Populated by a troupe of colourful characters, replete with penetrating observations and cast in the limpid prose that would become Orwell’s hallmark, Down and Out in Paris and London – published by Victor Gollancz in 1933 – provides both an invaluable historical snapshot and an insight into the perennial social evils of inequality, poverty and alienation.
