‎Castaneda Carlos‎

‎The Art of Dreaming‎

‎Norwalk CT: Easton Press 1993. Book. Fine. Hardcover. Signed by Authors. 1st Edition. The eighth book about Castaneda's apprenticeship with the Yaqui Indian sorcerer Don Juan Matus. Castaneda maintains his vivid sense of wonder as Don Juan escorts him into a new world of mystery and magic; he offers a crisp presentation of esoteric ideas. Taking control of one's dreams says Don Juan is the key to a sorcerer's power. But what kind of sorcerer Don Juan makes a distinction between the ancients who manipulated the world for personal power and moderns-- such as himself-- who search for freedom. Castaneda must thread his way between these two opposing camps balancing his thirst for truth and his personal ambition. In so doing he passes through three gates of dreaming: becoming aware of falling asleep; waking from one dream into another; seeing yourself asleep. Castaneda passes through these portals all the while communicating with-- and being used by ' inorganic beings' that look like thin tree trunks and give the sorcerers their secret knowledge. His journey ends with a perilous confrontation with a 'death defier' a Methuselah-like male sorcerer in the guise of a woman. Castaneda is rescued from this and other dangerous encounters by his fellow apprentice the beautiful Carol Tiggs who at book's close herself vanishes into the world of dreaming.

‎Chaudhuri Pramit‎

‎THE WAR WITH GOD Theomachy in Roman Imperial Poetry‎

‎Oxford University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2014. Hardcover. 0199993386 . Epic and tragedy from Homer's Achilles and Euripides' Pentheus to Marlowe's Tamburlaine and Milton's Satan are filled with characters challenging and warring against the gods. Nowhere is the theme of theomachy more frequently and powerfully represented however than in the poetry of early imperial Rome from Ovid's Metamorphoses at the beginning of the first century AD to Statius' Thebaid near its end. This book -- the first full-length study of human-divine conflict in Roman literature -- asks why the war against god was so important to the poets of the time and how this understudied period of literary history influenced a larger tradition in Western literature. Drawing on a variety of contexts -- politics religion philosophy and aesthetics -- Pramit Chaudhuri argues for the fundamental importance of battles between humans and gods in representing the Roman world. A cast of tyrants emperors rebels iconoclasts philosophers and ambitious poets brings to life some of the most extraordinary artistic products of classical antiquity. Based on close readings of the major extant epics and selected tragedies the book replaces a traditionally Aeneid-centric view of imperial epic with a richer dialogue between Greek and Roman texts contemporary authors and diverse genres. The renewed sense of a tradition reveals how the conflicts these works represent constitute a distinctive theology informed by other discourses yet peculiar to epic and tragedy. Beginning with the Greek background and ending with a look ahead to developments in the Renaissance this book charts the history of a theme that would find its richest expression in a time when men became gods and impiety threatened the very order of the world. ; 416 pages .

‎Chippindale Christopher‎

‎Stonehenge Complete‎

‎Thames And Hudson 1987. Book. Fine. Trade Paperback. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. Near-new copy. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine bright clippings. Very-nicely illustrated throughout. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 296 pages. Over-sized book. This is a terrific book about Stonehenge! Mr. Chippindale has created a wonderfully informative and readable book about one of the most famous archaeological monuments in the world. This book takes the famous quote from Jacquetta Hawkes "Every age has the Stonehenge it deserves and - desires" and illustrates it by giving an overview of all the various paradigms that have been used to explain Stonehenge. Instead of giving the reader dreadfully boring and mind-numbing details about Stonehenge and the research into it he gives us a brief description of what is physically there at Stonehenge then he outlines what each succesive era has thought of Stonehenge since its "re-descovery" in the 12th century A.D. All the theories from Geoffrey of Monmouth and Merlin to the current fad of UFOs and extraterrestrials are explored. Mr. Chippindale lists sources so that if you are interested in any particular theoretical perspective you are welcome to explore further. Mr. Chippindale is a well-respected archaeologist and the editor of one of the pre-eminent archaeological journals "Antiquity". He does state that he firmly is in the camp of the archaeologist as far as explaining the origin and history of Stonehenge. However that does not prevent him from presenting many of the other competing paradigms of Stonehenge's origin. The book is richly illustrated throughout with photographs going back over 100 years plus drawings and paintings that date back at least to the 16th century. The paintings of Stonehenge also help illustrate what the artist thought of this monument. It was also quite fascinating to read about the various ideas for "preserving Stonehenge" over the last 150 years. There have been many different ideas about how this monument should be presented and even now there is controversy about the way Stonehenge is presented to the public. In this book you get to meet many interesting characters who left their mark on Stonehenge and its interpretation from John Aubrey William Cunnington Inigo Jones Colin Renfrew to modern new age researchers. They and their concepts are all presented here. I strongly recommend this book as a start for anyone interested in learning more about Stonehenge. It is written with a sense of humor and in a very readable style. You can then branch out to read more in-depth studies of the various theories and paradigms that you are interested in.
