This unobservable phenomenon is what saves and regenerates the physical world around us, according to his theory. According to James, religion was generally a feeling that the world around us, the one observable to our senses, is related to one that is not observable by our senses. James made a point to examine individual experiences of religious people, rather than the general creeds and theologies of various religions when studying this topic. These lectures initiated the psychological analysis of religion, and would go on to become his most popular publication. This work is the culmination of James' interest in abnormal psychology.

The location described often seems caught between timelines, with a cast of characters that would probably look the same were the story told in a past era. It’s little details like this that made Highfire such a captivating read. Hilariously his presence has managed to create rumours of a swamp monster, but on the wrong island. As the potential last-of-his-kind, he’s become self-exiled to an island in the Louisiana swamps where he spends his days watching cable TV, keeping the alligators in line, and avoiding anyone human. But these days, Vern is usually full of vodka rather than fire. Vern was once Lord Highfire, master of the skies and fire-breathing doom to many a village. But there’s always room for another one.Īccording to Eoin Colfer, dragons used to rule over us. With the amount of world mythologies that contain dragon-like creatures, there has to be some basis for their existence at some point in history, right? And yes, there are so many variations of said reptile throughout pop culture and folk tradition alike. The main reason I picked this book? It had dragons in it. The words on the cover are glorious praise, but buried deep in the second page, I found an unsettling critique: Ozick was perturbed that Julie’s fictional Varian Fry is portrayed as gay. Then I saw The Flight Portfolio featured on the cover of the New York Times Book Review, reviewed by fiction writer and critic Cynthia Ozick, who is now ninety-one. In her case: a breathtaking work of wonder, set in occupied France. It is an honor to watch a writer in the beginning stages of work, fiddling with their magician’s equipment, and an astonishment to see what flies, at last, out of their sleeve. Ten years have passed, and now we know: I wrote a novel called The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells, and Julie has just published her novel The Flight Portfolio. Neither of us knew what we were about to make, nor could we make any sense of the pile of books the other had stashed in their office. Julie was researching the historical figure Varian Fry. I was researching New York City at various moments in the twentieth century, along with the history of AIDS in the city. We both had the extraordinary fortune to receive fellowships to do research for our novels. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library. Right, Julie Orringer įrom the fall of 2008 until the spring of 2009, I was colleagues with Julie Orringer at the Dorothy and Lewis B. When George Sand (1804-1876), a nineteenth century French author famous for both her novels and her penchant for wearing men’s clothes, arrives at the monastery with her two children and her lover, composer Frédéric Chopin, for an extended stay in Mallorca, Blanca falls instantly in love with George, although George has no idea Blanca exists. After dying in childbirth in a hilltop monastery in Mallorca in 1473, Blanca spends her (after)life watching over the monastery and haunting those who harm others. The novel is told from the perspective of Blanca, a ghost who has been fourteen for hundreds of years by the time the novel begins in the 1830s. Nell Stevens’s debut novel, Briefly, A Delicious Life (2022), is a stunning historical novel about a centuries-old ghost who falls in love with one of history’s most infamous writers. There is some over-description at times, but at other times, when dealing with abstract concepts, the author really shows her writing skills. The pacing is consistent, and the story moves along. Some great sex and fight scenes top the list. The light dudes and dudettes siphon life from the demons (almost like a mental link). Only the Nocte (Harley's group) drink blood. Both these factions fight evil humans who have bonded with demons. Their counterparts are creatures of the day, humans that have bonded with beings of light. Harley and her kind are creatures of the night, infused with beings of darkness. But remember, these are the good guys - the blood they feed on comes from humans possessed by demons. This creature is symbiotic - it grants Harley great physical strength and agility, but also plagues her with a hunger for blood. The main character, Harley, is a human girl who undergoes a dramatic transformation: she allows herself to die only to be revived with a dark creature infused within the fabric of her being. It works on literal and metaphorical levels. Yes, these non-vampires are the good guys. The Devil Inside is a part paranormal romance and part kick-ass anime-type tale about vampire-like creatures who battle the forces of evil.

The word "seared" is normally used when something burns onto something else so when used in this context it adds a feeling of anger to Dr Roylotts character. " Seared with a thousand wrinkles" can show a serious and aggressive man and if we were to go deeper on this point, it could therefore show that he may be a man who is impatient and has a short temper. " a large face" simply can give the image of quite a large or strong person, this can give the idea that Roylott is towering over everyone else and not someone who loses in physical or vocal arguments due to his threatening and fearsome build. Phrases such as "a large face, seared with a thousand wrinkles, burned yellow with the sun, and marked with every evil passion" can suggest a lot of things. When describing Dr Roylott ,Conan Doyle uses strong words to mould an image of him in the readers mind to be a horrible person. Also, Conan Doyle uses various phrases and words to describe him which suggests the man to be dangerous. This can be identified through his appearance, behaviour and motives, there is also evidence of this personality in the story. How is Dr Roylott presented to the reader in "The Speckled Band"? Through out the story, Roylott is overall presented as threatening, dangerous and a intelligent man. People with money have nothing to fear and can potentially live forever.
