Book Description
Excerpt from The Shifting Spell James, the eldest brother, evaded any prolonged mortification of mind (and lightened the present nar rative) by dying within less than five months of Douglas' entry into Whitridge Grange. Although his death lightens the present narrative, the reader will be sorry to learn that James had contrived to complicate matters by leaving a very young step daughter - Janet Ranford (age, five years) - as sole heiress of his estate, which latter consisted of noth ing save some miserable house property, of less value than 50 a year. Fortunately, however, Douglas' eldest sister, Miss Augusta Stranghurst, had a mania for undertaking special duties; the good dame therefore at once took Charge of the helpless orphan child, and it is to be hoped that the reader will con done James' conduct in having brought this kind hearted lady into prominence because she is about to play a conspicuous part in the history of Whitridge Grange.

A Spell for Chameleon (The Parallel Edition... Simplified)
Author: Piers AnthonyPublisher: Del Rey
ISBN: 0345536444
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
Piers Anthony’s bestselling Xanth series is one of the cornerstones of fantasy, a lively and whimsical interpretation of a genre often criticized for taking itself too seriously. Anthony’s first Xanth novel, A Spell for Chameleon, was initially edited to target a more traditional audience. Now, in an eBook exclusive, A Spell for Chameleon has been reworked line by line—its language matching the simpler, playful way with words that made Piers Anthony an enduring fan favorite. Xanth is an enchanted land where magic rules, a land of centaurs and dragons and basilisks where every citizen has a unique spell to call their own. For Bink of North Village, however, Xanth is no fairy tale. He alone has no magic. And unless he gets some—and fast!—he will be exiled. Forever. But the Good Magician Humfrey is convinced that Bink does indeed have magic. In fact, both Beauregard the genie and the magic wall chart insist that Bink has magic as powerful as any possessed by the King, the Good Magician Humfrey, or even the Evil Magician Trent. Be that as it may, no one can fathom the nature of Bink’s very special magic. This is even worse than having no magic at all . . . and he still faces exile!

Book Description
Excerpt from The Spell "Now, Jack, here is a chance to put your knowledge of the classics to some practical use." Helen Armstrong paused for a moment before a Latin inscription cut in the upper stones of the boundary wall, and leaned gratefully upon her companion's arm after the steep ascent. "What does it mean?" Her husband smiled. "That is an easy test. The ancient legend conveys the cheering intelligence that 'from this spot Florence and Fiesole, mother and daughter, are equi-distant.'" The girl released her hold upon the man's arm and, pushing back a few stray locks which the wind had loosened, turned to regard the panorama behind her. It was a charmingly picturesque and characteristic Italian roadway which they had chosen for their day's excursion. On either side stood plastered stone walls, which bore curious marks and circles, made - who shall say when or by whom? - remaining there as an atavistic suggestion of Etruscan symbolism.

Book Description
Excerpt from Oberon Spell, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel To attempt this with any chance of success would, he knew, require no little skill and quiet perse verance. It was, he thought, peculiarly a feminine task and persuaded Of this, while he gave Ernestine to understand that he had not deserted her cause, he won over Lady Wheatley to his side, and to her transferred the conception and management Of some scheme which would carry out his intentions. It was with no little difficulty, 'tis true, he effected his wife's conversion to his own views 5 but when he put the case, as in fact it presented itself to his mind, in the light of any device which would not involve their daughter's marriage with Oberon Spell, the lady felt bound to submit, however strong the Opposition of a natural family pride to meddling in such an inferior business. A stratagem quickly suggested itself to her invention. It would be a mere attempt. It might fail, but when all had been done in earnestness and affection to gratify their child's wishes, she trusted a healthy change would take place in Ernestine's feelings, and. That She would bring her mind and heart to endure what seemed the inevitable decree of Providence. The baronet cordially joined in his wife's aspirations, and left the matter entirely to her management. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Spell of the Sensuous
Author: David AbramPublisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307830551
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Winner of the International Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction Animal tracks, word magic, the speech of stones, the power of letters, and the taste of the wind all figure prominently in this intellectual tour de force that returns us to our senses and to the sensuous terrain that sustains us. This major work of ecological philosophy startles the senses out of habitual ways of perception. For a thousand generations, human beings viewed themselves as part of the wider community of nature, and they carried on active relationships not only with other people with other animals, plants, and natural objects (including mountains, rivers, winds, and weather patters) that we have only lately come to think of as "inanimate." How, then, did humans come to sever their ancient reciprocity with the natural world? What will it take for us to recover a sustaining relation with the breathing earth? In The Spell of the Sensuous David Abram draws on sources as diverse as the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, Balinese shamanism, Apache storytelling, and his own experience as an accomplished sleight-of-hand of magician to reveal the subtle dependence of human cognition on the natural environment. He explores the character of perception and excavates the sensual foundations of language, which--even at its most abstract--echoes the calls and cries of the earth. On every page of this lyrical work, Abram weaves his arguments with a passion, a precision, and an intellectual daring that recall such writers as Loren Eisleley, Annie Dillard, and Barry Lopez.
