Sinopsis

In "The Campaner Thal, and Other Writings," Jean Paul presents a collection of profound reflections and imaginative narratives that explore the intricacies of life, nature, and the human spirit. This work, characterized by an innovative blend of romanticism and whimsy, showcases Jean Paul's exceptional literary style, marked by elaborate metaphors and playful language. The titular piece, "The Campaner Thal," is an allegorical tale that delves into the themes of longing and transcendence, set against the backdrop of a mythical valley. It possesses a unique narrative structure that invites readers into a contemplative space, resonating with the literary movements of his time and challenging conventional storytelling forms. Jean Paul, born Johann Paul Friedrich Richter, was a German Romantic author known for his distinctive voice and visionary ideas. Influenced by his tumultuous upbringing and a firm belief in the power of imagination, he sought to capture the emotional depth of human experience through his writings. His complex relationship with nature, as evidenced in his philosophical musings, has enriched his narratives, making them both profound and relatable, thereby steering his craft towards exploring existential themes. This collection is highly recommended for readers who appreciate the interplay between philosophy and literature. It serves as an invitation to reflect deeply on one's own life and the world around us. Those who enjoy richly textured prose and the exploration of metaphysical questions will find "The Campaner Thal" to be an enlightening and transformative read.

    An original anthology celebrating Rod Serling's landmark television seriesWhen it first aired in 1959, The Twilight Zone was nothing less than groundbreaking television. Freed from much of the censors' strict oversight because of the show's classification as "science fiction," the 156 filmed episodes explored powerful and moving human themes—love, hate, pride, jealousy, terror—in their own unique style.The show has since inspired two revivals, as well as fiction, comic books, and magazines, and even a pinball game and theme park rides.  Just as important, it sparked the imaginations of countless writers, filmmakers, and fans around the world, and is considered a seminal show for broadening the horizons of television. This anthology will be an all-new collection of stories written in the vein of the original television show. Edited and featured and introduction by Carol Serling, the anthology will include brand new stories by science fiction and fantasy luminaries such as Whitley Strieber, Loren D. Estleman, Joe Lansdale, R. L. Stine, Timothy Zahn, and Peter S. Beagle, as well as writers from the original series, Earl Hammer and Harlan Ellison®, all in honor of Rod's incredible vision.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

    Our thoughts are shaped as much by what things make of us as by what we make of them. Lyric poetry is especially concerned with things and their relationship to thought, sense, and understanding. In Romantic Things, Mary Jacobus explores the world of objects and phenomena in nature as expressed in Romantic poetry alongside the theme of sentience and sensory deprivation in literature and art. Jacobus discusses objects and attributes that test our perceptions and preoccupy both Romantic poetry and modern philosophy. John Clare, John Constable, Rainer Maria Rilke, W. G. Sebald, and Gerhard Richter make appearances around the central figure of William Wordsworth as Jacobus explores trees, rocks, clouds, breath, sleep, deafness, and blindness in their work. While she thinks through these things, she is assisted by the writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Luc Nancy. Helping us think more deeply about things that are at once visible and invisible, seen and unseen, felt and unfeeling, Romantic Things opens our eyes to what has been previously overlooked in lyric and Romantic poetry.
