Showing results for "Arthur" in Metaphysical & Visionary

Lucian Taylor, the hero, is damned either through contact with an erotically pagan "other" world or through something degenerate in his own nature, which he thinks of as a "faun". He becomes a writer, and when he moves to London he becomes trapped by the increasing reality of the dark imaginings of this creature within him, which become increasingly real. One of the first explorations in fiction of the figure of the doomed artist, who is biographically so much a part of the decadent 1890s.

In una notte rubata a una vita senza scosse, Emma ricerca la poesia nella passione di un abbraccio con il suo amante, vivendo la sua avventura ignara delle conseguenze cui il destino la metterà di fronte. Con una prosa modulata alla perfezione sulle emozioni e i sentimenti dei protagonisti, Arthur Schnitzler, alter-ego letterario di Sigmund Freud e autore del racconto "Doppio Sogno" che ha ispirato "Eyes Wide Shut" di Stanley Kubrick, ci mette davanti a un dramma umano fatto di egoismi, frustrazioni e banalità di una vita senza direzione.

How much would you sacrifice for true love? The second novel in Paullina Simons' stunning End of Forever trilogy continues the heartbreaking story of Julian and Josephine and a love that spans lifetimes. Julian has travelled from the heights of joy to the depths of despair and back again. Having found his love - twice - and lost her - twice, he is resolved to continue his search and find her in the past again. Perhaps this time he can save her.

Julian has lost everything he ever loved and is almost out of time. His life and death struggle against fate offers him one last chance to do the impossible and save the woman to whom he is permanently bound. Together, Julian and Josephine must wage war against the relentless dark force that threatens to destroy them. This fight will take everything they have and everything they are as they try once more to give each other their unfinished lives back.
