Bøger af May Sinclair

At that moment, in a flash that came like a shifting of her eyes, the world she looked at suffered a change... It was the same world, flat field for flat field and hill for hill; but radiant, vibrant, and, as it were, infinitely transparent. Tales of eternal damnation, love, sexuality, death and supernatural talents form the core of May Sinclair's essential and groundbreaking oeuvre. Literary and still thrilling today, her stories explore the strangeness at the heart of human experience and relationships, where the mundane and the everyday meets lurking, otherworldly weirdness. Including the contents of the classic collections Uncanny Stories (1923) and The Intercessor and Other Stories (1931), this new volume also features two rare strange tales from a third, lesser-known book which explore further facets of Sinclair's fascination with the uncanny.

The Tysons (Mr. and Mrs. Nevill Tyson), is a classical book and has been considered important throughout the human history.

Nakiketas and other poems, May Sinclair's first volume of poetry, which was her first published book, came out under a partial pseudonym, Julian Sinclair, in 1886. It contains three longer works and six shorter. Nakiketas is an emotionally searing adaptation of the Katha Upanishad, where a proud and limited father, unused to criticism, wrathfully answers his son's challenge, and condemns him to death. Nakiketas learns, ultimately with forgiveness and sadness, as he approaches his end, that the current gods will fade (implicitly, his father's world and beliefs) and a simple greater truth be revealed.Helen, the longest poem, details the life of a young woman and her friend Arthur from childhood. Helen's family, like Sinclair's own, is blighted by financial misfortune at the hands of a fraudster when she is a very young child. She and Arthur are parted. Arthur returns when they are grown to find her engaged to Emile, the very man who destroyed her family. They tussle over whether or not Emile has turned over a new leaf, and realise their love for one another, but too late.Apollodorus, the last long work, is a richly metaphoric treatment of the progress of a bard's journey of artistic discovery, symbolised in his stormy relationship with the poetic muse.George Eliot celebrates the great writer with love and admiration, seeing her as a visionary; A Fable comically covers bias-validation; The Singer addresses the fecundity of the positive-negative dualism for the artist; Immortelle hopefully covers the tiny survival of the positive in a sea of negativity; Euthanasia gives perspective to what is really important; and Christapollo celebrates the bright flame of Shelley's genius and his rare breadth of spirit.May Sinclair's importance in literary history has grown undeniable in recent times, but her superb poetry is still not sufficiently celebrated. Marrying the sensibility of a wordsmith with the intellect of a philosopher, she created a powerfully resonant, full-voiced style, already evident here at the very beginning of her career.

"There was her own genius, if it came to that. It had its rights. Six weeks ago she would not have had to apologize to herself for keeping him. "I didn't know you could change your mind so quickly," he said. "If you had my mind, George, you'd want to change it." "What's wrong with your mind, Jinny?" "It won't work." "Ah, it's come to that, has it? I knew it would." She led the way into another room, the room she wrote in. Jane lived alone. Sometimes he had wondered how she liked it. There was defiance in her choice of that top floor in the old house in Kensington Square. To make sure her splendid isolation, she had cut herself off by a boarded, a barricaded staircase, closed with a door at the foot. Tanqueray knew well that consecrated, book-lined room, and the place of everything it held. He had his own place there, the place of honour and affection. His portrait (a mere photograph) was on her writing-table. His "Works"-five novels-were on a shelf by themselves at the head of her chair, where she could lay her hands on them. For they had found each other before the world had found her. That was the charm which had drawn them together, which, more than any of her charms, had held him until now. She had preserved the incomparable [...]."

This is a companion book to My Soul Forgot and My Soul Remembered.Get ready to have your mind coil, bend, and spring up when reading some really, really short and some other much, much longer fantastical stories. Each lays bare human sentiments, passions, excitements, and sensations. The underlying theme of Sinclair's short stories is the evolution of human emotions. Some of the characters from her prior published works show up again to be viewed from a different perspective.Using the genres of literary, speculative, and fantasy fiction, often sprinkled with magical realism, the tales range from being about murder, pandemic, ghosts, witches, fairies and elves, despair, reincarnation, and a world where life is fair. She begins with the question of whether the threat of murder to extort from the filthy rich is ethical. Since politics is personal, in a few of the stories witches get involved in political campaigns, and elves and fairies reflect on a Union leader's motivations. None of the topics affected by emotions are ignored. Global pandemics, gun violence, family relationships, guardian angels along with other spiritual and ghostly beliefs, how DNA affects our decision making process, what happens after death, and trust in life, gets her full attention.
