‎Atlantide‎

‎brossura L'autore ci accompagna in un viaggio nel tempo alla ricerca di risposte su uno dei più grandi misteri del passato: Atlantide. Iniziando con le prime visioni originali del mito nei dialoghi di Platone, Greer segue l'evoluzione del mito attraverso le logge delle società segrete occulte e della storia alternativa e non ufficiale, fino alle ultime scoperte scientifiche sul passato preistorico. Alla luce di fondati allarmi ambientalistici sull'evolversi della società industriale, Greer si pone la domanda di base se la leggenda di Atlantide è solo una tradizione tramandata oppure se è una profezia del nostro futuro. Il libro si conclude con lezioni pratiche di visione remota (scrying) e meditazione per un viaggio nel tempo verso il Continente perduto e di chiamata alla coscienza di chi desidera preservare l'antico sapere attraverso i cambiamenti climatici e planetari.‎

‎Grieco Agnese‎

‎Atlante delle sirene. Viaggio sentimentale tra le creature che ci incantano da millenni‎

‎ill., br. «Atlante delle sirene» è un libro da sfogliare, da gustare attraverso tutti i sensi. Stampe, dipinti, antichi vasi e codici miniati, e ancora poemi, racconti fantastici, resoconti di viaggi agli estremi confini della Terra tessono l'arazzo che rappresenta il mondo delle sirene, da cui lasciarsi rapire e trasportare in epoche e mari remoti eppure vicinissimi. Le sirene sono un mito senza tempo. Le abbiamo avvistate nei versi di Omero e in quelli di Rilke, ne abbiamo ascoltato il canto nelle pagine di Joyce e nella musica di Wagner, le abbiamo ritrovate nei flutti del Mediterraneo e nelle acque perigliose di oceani lontani. Occorre una mappa per non smarrirsi in una simile geografia, che rassomiglia a volte a un labirinto, e in questo Atlante Agnese Grieco ci guida con mano esperta di nocchiere alla scoperta di queste creature leggendarie, delle loro origini, delle infinite metamorfosi del loro canto. Dalle sirene che tentarono Ulisse sulla via del ritorno a Itaca a quelle che ammaliarono Henry Hudson e la sua ciurma durante il viaggio nelle gelide acque del Mar Glaciale Artico, dalle sirene che danzano fra i pentagrammi di Debussy a quelle che compaiono nel bel mezzo di Manhattan nel film «Splash», non c'è fine alle cronache, alle opere d'arte, agli aneddoti che Agnese Grieco esplora in queste pagine, di ciascuno mostrando i lati più reconditi. Come nella biblioteca di Borges, ogni storia sembra rimandare a un'altra, e poi a un'altra, e a un'altra ancora: perché, più di tutto, le sirene sono il simbolo imperituro della nostra tensione, umana troppo umana, all'infinito.‎

‎Larousse World Mythology‎

‎Paul Hamlyn - The Hamlyn Publishing Group Limited 1972. BOOK: Boards Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards. DUST JACKET: Previous Owner Markings Price Clipped; Repaired; Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: All races without exception have possessed a mythology. To trace the outline of the world's mythology is to trace also the pattern of man's development. There has been no age no civilisation that has not probed the mysteries of life and sought to explain them by the graphic means of myth. The preoccupying questions have remained constant - how was the world created what forces govern man's life and how best can he make them favourable to him The answers have been as varied as the societies that have produced them ranging from the primitive to the near-sophisticated. In a book of generous proportions Pierre Grimal's twenty-three authors survey the myths of the world's principal societies with perception. They analyse the form with function of myth note its variations and evolution and examine recurrent themes. They range from the dark cave-bound rites of prehistoric man through the system of Egyptian gods the monotheistic patterns of the ancient near east the Indian pantheon and the gods and heroes of classical Greece and Rome. In less commonly charted areas they survey the polytheistic cults of northern Europe the nature spirits of the American Indians the sacrificial cults of Central America totemism in Africa and ancestor and fetish worship in Oceania. In a brilliant preface to this kaleidoscopic display of man's efforts to explain his world Pierre Grimal proposes that myths form a vital element of all thought even in an advanced society. Any attempt to know them better is to surrender to the very legitimate pleasure of reading and re-reading a collection of very fine stories and to probe deeper into human consciousness. The book is of unparalleled interest and unrivalled breadth sensitively written and imaginatively illustrated with more than 600 black-and-white and colour photographs. A delight for the browser a feast for the fact-finder. First Edition 3rd Impression. Hard Cover. Fine/Good. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. Paul Hamlyn - The Hamlyn Publishing Group Limited Hardcover‎
