This combination of two key works by the Italian avant-garde writer Giorgio Manganelli (1922-90) is a major addition to the small number of his works available in English. In the 1960s Manganelli was a member, along with Umberto Eco and Eduardo Sanguinetti, of the Gruppo 63 movement, and a close friend of Italo Calvino, who provides an enthusiastic foreword that describes "To Those Gods Beyond" (1972) as a "heraldic bestiary" that "launches into a crescendo of variations on its main theme, the self-aggrandisement of a lucid megalomaniac." Perhaps the best known of his works included here, "An Impossible Love," comprises an epistolary exchange between Hamlet and the Princess of Cleves conducted with a "verbal catapult" as the universes about them descend into oblivion. All is overseen by gods beyond whom an endless array of other gods lie in wait, intent on torment. Everything seemingly finite or known in our world becomes infinite and unknown. The book is prefaced by Manganelli's notorious manifesto "Literature as Deception" (1967), in which he describes the "literary object" as something cynical, corrupt and devoted only to turning human suffering into exquisite figures of speech. This is a major new offering of work by this important writer, heralded by Calvino as an "erudite acrobat who twirls around the trapeze of rhetoric above the timeless void of meaning."

Beyond The Gods written by John Blofeld and has been published by Taylor & Francis this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2023-10-27 with Religion categories.
First published in 1974 Beyond the Gods argues that true mystics transcend religious boundaries, and that Eastern mysticism has increasing relevance for the troubled minds and spirits of the West. Blofeld’s approach is a highly personal one based on encounters with monks, lamas, and recluses in their mountain retreats. He also includes a vivid description of the Chinese religious scene and chapters on the mystical practices of Taoism, Ch’an (Zen) and the Tantric Buddhism of Tibet. The book seeks to answer broader questions like – what has Eastern mysticism to offer the West, how can we free ourselves from the pressures of modern life or benefit from eastern methods of cultivating the sublime mystical experience? This is an interesting read for scholars and researchers of Buddhism, Taoism, and religion in general.

'Stella,' that young lady explained with sweet but jaded patience, 'one doesn't do things about explosions. Explosions are quite competent to do things for themselves. All sorts of things. The most one can do for an explosion is to leave it entirely alone until it has decided to become a ruin. Also, you can blink at an explosion respectfully in the news reels and feel good about its ghastly results. You'll probably gasp at this one on your night off next Thursday.' She paused, then added, 'With that stout fellow Tim breathing heavily in your ear.'

A white missionary, Father Jones, in his priestly journey from the neighbouring Ụkwa village, advances his cause further, into Amaokwe, a land comfortable in the traditional ways of worship. Jones and one of his earliest converts, Brother Peter, take their audacious Christian teachings to the unbelieving villagers, declaring that only those who embrace the new faith and renounce the old ways would be saved. Their evangelistic efforts meet stiff opposition from staunch adherents of the traditional religion. The ensuing religio-cultural impasse throws the people of Amaokwe into a dilemma: to continue with the worship of their ancestors and the gods or to serve the Christian god? Ụwakwe, like a few others in Amaokwe, becomes a nominal Christian. He suddenly grows circumspect of the new faith and lives, afterwards, in godlessness to the strong disapproval of his unbelieving friend, Ibeku, and to the disgust of his Christian wife, Ugomma. Undeterred by the hate for him and the bickering between his converts and the rest of the villagers, Jones plants a new mission in Amaokwe and his activities gather momentum to the chagrin of the unbelieving townsfolk. As the conundrum persists, a plague befalls Amaokwe. The powers of the gods are impatiently tested as the roles and influence of divinity in the affairs of the village are impetuously questioned. During the plague, the land of Amaokwe witnesses a time when pagans and Christians speak with one voice and look up to one of their own as their saviour.
