In this most entrancing tale of mystery and romance by the New York Times bestselling author AMANDA QUICK, lovers and partners-in-crime investigators Lavinia Lake and Tobias March continue their exciting newfound relationship, with its delicious mix of risky business, rising passion, and now--murder. As if a head for business and a nose for trouble arent enough to distinguish fiercely independent Lavinia Lake from the other women of Londons fashionable Claremont Lane, there is one more feature to set her apart. Lavinia is also well versed in the practice of mesmerism, an extraordinary gift that far surpasses mere charm and physical appeal. Nobody knows this better than the usually coolheaded Tobias March, who seems to have fallen hopelessly under her spell. Fortunately for all, however, Lavinia uses her powers for good. And ever since a tragedy involving one of her subjects, she has even retired them in favor of her work with Lake and March, a joint venture providing discreet private inquiries for individuals of quality. Celeste Hudson, the stunningly beautiful young wife of a family friend and fellow mesmerist, would surely count herself among such individuals--were she still alive, that is. While mythologys Medusa could turn men to stone, lovely Celeste was more accustomed to turning them to jelly. In fact, unbeknownst to her husband, Howard, the ambitious Celeste was planning to use her talents to forge a new future in Society--one that would not include him. Sadly, her plans were cut short when she was murdered. Only a gentlemans cravat wound around her lovely neck remained for evidence--small compensation for the strange and priceless bracelet that may have been snatched from her wrist as she drew her last breath. As a result, Lake and March are soon in Howard Hudsons employ on the trail of the killer. But Tobias is convinced the dashing widower is more interested in tracking down the missing relic. If so, Howard is not alone. Any number of ruthless types are after the very same antiquity, whose centerpiece is an unusual blue cameo of inestimable value and supposed legendary powers--powers of immeasurable worth to anyone in Howards line of work. Together, Lake and March undertake a tantalizing investigation that leads them from the glittering ballrooms of the ton to Londons seediest taverns to a mesmerist whose therapies include treating ladies suffering from hysteria is a a most unconventional method--and, not least of all, to the darkest reaches of mens psyches.

Good. -. Outline:- Jodi Picoult, the New York Times bestselling author of Vanishing Acts, offers her most powerful chronicle yet of an American family with a story that probes the unbreakable bond between parent and child -- and the dangerous repercussions of trying to play the hero.Trixie Stone is fourteen years old and in love for the first time. She`s also the light of her father`s life -- a straight-A student; a freshman in high school who is pretty and popular; a girl who`s always looked up to Daniel Stone as a hero. Until, that is, her world is turned upside down with a single act of violence. . . and suddenly everything Trixie has believed about her family -- and herself -- seems to be a lie.For fifteen years, Daniel Stone has been an even-tempered, mild-mannered man: a stay-at-home dad to Trixie and a husband who has put his own career as a comic book artist behind that of his wife, Laura, who teaches Dante`s Inferno at a local college. But years ago, he was completely different: growing up as the only white boy in an Eskimo village, he was teased mercilessly for the color of his skin. He learned to fight back: stealing, drinking, robbing, and cheating his way out of the Alaskan bush. To become part of a family, he reinvented himself, channeling his rage onto the page and burying his past completely. . . until now. Could the young boy who once made Trixie`s face fill with light when he came to the door have been the one to end her childhood forever? She says that he is, and that is all it takes to make Daniel, a man with a history he has hidden even from his family, venture to hell and back in order to protect his daughter.The Tenth Circle looks at that delicate moment when a child learns that her parents don`t know all of the answers and when being a good parent means letting go of your child. It asks whether you can reinvent yourself in the course of a lifetime or if your mistakes are carried forever -- if life is, as in any good comic book, a struggle to control good and evil, or if good and evil control you.-> the publiser of this PAPERBACK book is Hodder & Stoughton in 2006 it has null pages booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse shipping is Free for UK buyers and at a reasonable charge for buyer outside the UK, Hodder & Stoughton, 2006, 2.5, Agam Kala Prakashan, 1982. Hardcover. New. Till a couple of decades back it was almost the concensus of Indian Prehistorians that there never was an Upper Palaeolithic phase in the Stone Age of India. This view held the ground in spite of the discoveries of bone and stone tools by foote in his excavations at Billasurgam caves, Kurnool District, Burkittâs classification of Cammiadeâs collections, Toddâs find at Khandivill near Bombay, as also at Dhok Pathan (Pakistan), Zeunerâs explorations and assessment, etc. all of them have compared their tool repertoire to some lithic industries of European or African Upper Palaeolithic. Since the sixties there has been a spurt in the prehistoric research of India and the intensive as well as extensive explorations and excavattions followed by careful analytical study of correlated stratigraphical and typological evidences as at Renigunta and Kurnool regions of the South, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan, Belan valley in U.P. (which incidentally provides a firm chronological background) compel us to revise the stand hither to taken by earlier savants, since Maharashtra has provided a complete picture in the evolution of this Upper Palaelithic wedged in between the Middle Palaeolithic the Microlithic phases. It is gratifying to note that this has been partially substantiated in the Belan, valley. The precent book by Sharma in five chapters introduction, Distribution of sites and industries, General observations and chronology Patterns of life, art and religion and conclusion in corporates all the evidences of the field work carried out in the entire country, in all its aspect fully and shifting of the date has led the author to eastablish in unequivocal terms the presence of the Upper Palaeolithic in India. Certainly the book, throwing an illuminating ray in the dark alley of Indian prehistory is a welcome addition. Printed Pages: 106., Agam Kala Prakashan, 1982, 6, Viva Books, 2011. First edition. Softcover. New. This book talks of the art of achieving peace and happiness. It is filled with the authorâs lifetime experience and observation of human psychology. For being happy and for having peace of mind one needs to explore the inner world in spite of the outer world. For attaining peace of mind one needs to have a simple lifestyle coupled with a benevolent nature. Happiness is a state of mind, by chasing it no one can have it. In life chasing money destroys the mental set-up and brings unhappiness. For attaining peace one needs to set his own limitations. A person with a well-defined goal generally attains happiness and peace. Clear vision is required for having a tranquil state of mind. For attaining peace in life one needs to send the message of love, peace and happiness to others. Many real-life experiences are portrayed in different chapters of this book. This book is the unfurling of the authorâs lifetime experience. This book has the potential to transform a human being and while reading the reader is expected to realize a gradual metamorphosis in his thought process. The author wants his readers to adopt the proper method of living and enjoy the true meaning of life. The mission of the author is to awaken the dormant unhappy persons within his readers who are in quest of peace and happiness.

In the title of his now famous Confessions, published in the autumn of 1944, Reginald Hine first described himself as `An Uncommon Attorney.' To-day the thousands of readers who delighted in it would not deny him the designation unique. The present volume of his work, issued under the joint editorship of Mrs. Reginald Hine and Mildred Boznlan, is prefaced by a Memoir of the author by Dr. R ichenda Scott, the author's friend and colleague in historical research. The papers in it are a selection from those left finished, but unpublished, at his death in 1949. The contents cover a range in keeping with a lawyer who wore his deep learning with the adornments of a scintillating wit and warm humanity; with the historian whose passion for exact knowledge and detailed research went with the gift of the `common touch'; and with a man who rejoiced in the day's work and the day's play. The collection opens with a remarkable sketch of the daily life and work of an English country squire of the late seventeenth century, divined from an ancient account-book which came into the author's hands; it closes with a study of the life and art of F. L. Griggs. for many years the author's friend. Between these two pieces is to be found a medley of interests. These include various aspects of that local Hertfordshire history for which Hine is renowned-one being a serious, and at the same time often comic, account of the doings of those predecessors of the Home Guard-the Loyal Volunteers of 1803, who stood to arms when Napoleon threatened our shores. There is a vividly told story, based on fact though dressed as fiction, entitled `Killing No Murder.' There are short, pithy essays on such sidelines as the law relating to the use and abuse of footpaths, the law relating to swearing, or (to turn from the Law) Mine's own views on brevity in biography. There is a pen-portrait of a famous Hitchin hostelry which brings the good guidance of old innkeepers, the good company of old Inns, and the very savour of centuries of good food and drink to the reader's soul. There is an account of that only partially studied subject--the writings, secular and religious, sacred and (sometimes in each sense of the word) profane, to be found graved on the stones of ancient churches and known as `Graffiti.' There is the intriguing story of the discovery and identification of an iron fiddle, made and played by John Bunyan in his less regenerate days, and-to complete but a sample list-a deeply humane `meditation' amongst the papers of that Hitchin firm of several hundred years' standing of which we read in the Confessions. It is hoped that the index conforms to the standards of fullness and of accuracy that would be demanded by Reginald Hine himself. ., Dent, 1952, 3, Golgonooza Press. Very Good/Very Good. 2007.

ERIC GILL (1882-1940) is well known as a sculptor, wood and stone carver, letterer, engraver, typeface designer and graphic artist. But he was also a radical religious and social philosopher - a Christian revolutionary - for whom `life was more than art', because it was the highest art, the art of being human. Thus his interests were never theoretical and his view of life was holistic, involving the whole person in a unity of art, work and spiritual values. A convert to Catholicism in 1913, Gill brought to the movement of social and aesthetic renewal founded by Ruskin and William Morris a sensibility sharpened both by Non-conformism and by the enthusiastic acceptance of Thomism. After World War I, Gill helped create the Ditchling Guild, an independent society of Roman Catholics bound together by common faith and common ideas about work and human society. In 1924, Gill moved with his family and a few friends, now living under the rule of third-order Dominicans, to Capel-y-ffin, in South Wales. Here the task of integrating human work and religious life in a craft community continued, and here, too, Gill began to write, at first short pieces, then longer essays. In 1928, he moved back to Buckinghamshire, where he lived until his death. A HOLY TRADITION OF WORKING is an anthology drawn from the full prophetic range of Gill's concerns. The topics covered include: First Things; What is Man?; What is Art?; The Four Causes; Of Work and Responsibility; Of Beauty; Of Imagination; Property, Ownership and Holy Poverty; and A Vision of Normal Society. Brian Keeble writes `There can be no mistaking the directional impulse in Gill's thought; it is heavenward. Not so much a heaven "up there" as one with a more local habitation; the kingdom of heaven within which is the kingdom proper to man, that is, man the maker, one who is uniquely fitted, being created in His image, to "collaborate with God"...' ., Golgonooza Press, 2007, 3, Willard Neal, 1970-01-01.

[From Carving] Stone Mountain's Confederate Memorial is the world's larges piece of sculpture, cut into the side of the world's biggest exposed mass of granite. The carving is 90 feet tall and 190 feet wide, stands eleven and a half feet out from the side of the mountain, and towers 400 feet above the ground in a frame that is 360 feet square, or three acres. Fifty-five years elapsed from the time of the original concept in 1915 until completion of the three figures in 1970.

For writers, painters, or performers in any field, new hope for overcoming creative blocks and finishing the art of their dreams. The blank page, empty canvas, or uncarved stone will often fill artists wit h dread. But so may the thought of finishing, showing, or even selling thei r work. It is in this "artistic anxiety" that creative blocks begin. With an understanding that could only be gained through years of experience in counseling artists, writers, and performers, Eric Maisel, Ph.D. discuss es each stage of creation-wishing, choosing, starting, working, completing, selling--and the anxieties particular to each. He then shows how these inh ibiting tensions can be turned to artistic advantages, how truth and beauty arrive in the work of art precisely because, and only when, anxiety has be en understood, embraced, and resolved. Fearless Creating guides the reader, whether an experienced artist or someo ne just starting out, past the pitfalls that appear in each stage of the pr ocess. By following Dr. Maisel's exercises related both to the world at han d and the ongoing struggles of artistic life, readers will emerge from this book with a completed work of art and a new perspective on their potential to be a fearless creator. Editorial Reviews Review Besides being a writer himself, Eric Maisel is a therapist with a practice centered around artists, writers and performers and has seen many of the demons that haunt the creative life firsthand.

Paperback. Excellent. -. Outline:- The narrator of THE GARGOYLE is a very contemporary cynic, physically beautiful and sexually adept, who dwells in the moral vacuum that is modern life. As the book opens, he is driving along a dark road when he is distracted by what seems to be a flight of arrows. He crashes into a ravine and suffers horrible burns over much of his body. As he recovers in a burn ward, undergoing the tortures of the damned, he awaits the day when he can leave the hospital and commit carefully planned suicide - for he is now a monster in appearance as well as in soul.A beautiful and compelling, but clearly unhinged, sculptress of gargoyles by the name of Marianne Engel appears at the foot of his bed and tells him that they were once lovers in medieval Germany. In her telling, he was a badly injured mercenary and she was a nun and scribe in the famed monastery of Engelthal who nursed him back to health. As she spins their tale in Scheherazade fashion and relates equally mesmerizing stories of deathless love in Japan, Iceland, Italy, and England, he finds himself drawn back to life - and finally in love. He is released into Marianne`s care and takes up residence in her huge stone house. But all is not well. For one thing, the pull of his past sins becomes ever more powerful as the morphine he is prescribed becomes ever more addictive. For another, Marianne receives word from God that she only has twenty-seven sculptures left to complete - and her time on earth will be finished.Already an international literary sensation, THE GARGOYLE is an Inferno for our time.

In this most entrancing tale of mystery and romance by the New York Times bestselling author AMANDA QUICK, lovers and partners-in-crime investigators Lavinia Lake and Tobias March continue their exciting newfound relationship, with its delicious mix of risky business, rising passion, and now--murder. As if a head for business and a nose for trouble arent enough to distinguish fiercely independent Lavinia Lake from the other women of Londons fashionable Claremont Lane, there is one more feature to set her apart. Lavinia is also well versed in the practice of mesmerism, an extraordinary gift that far surpasses mere charm and physical appeal. Nobody knows this better than the usually coolheaded Tobias March, who seems to have fallen hopelessly under her spell. Fortunately for all, however, Lavinia uses her powers for good. And ever since a tragedy involving one of her subjects, she has even retired them in favor of her work with Lake and March, a joint venture providing discreet private inquiries for individuals of quality. Celeste Hudson, the stunningly beautiful young wife of a family friend and fellow mesmerist, would surely count herself among such individuals--were she still alive, that is. While mythologys Medusa could turn men to stone, lovely Celeste was more accustomed to turning them to jelly. In fact, unbeknownst to her husband, Howard, the ambitious Celeste was planning to use her talents to forge a new future in Society--one that would not include him. Sadly, her plans were cut short when she was murdered. Only a gentlemans cravat wound around her lovely neck remained for evidence--small compensation for the strange and priceless bracelet that may have been snatched from her wrist as she drew her last breath. As a result, Lake and March are soon in Howard Hudsons employ on the trail of the killer. But Tobias is convinced the dashing widower is more interested in tracking down the missing relic. If so, Howard is not alone. Any number of ruthless types are after the very same antiquity, whose centerpiece is an unusual blue cameo of inestimable value and supposed legendary powers--powers of immeasurable worth to anyone in Howards line of work. Together, Lake and March undertake a tantalizing investigation that leads them from the glittering ballrooms of the ton to Londons seediest taverns to a mesmerist whose therapies include treating ladies suffering from hysteria is a a most unconventional method--and, not least of all, to the darkest reaches of mens psyches.

Good. -. Outline:- Jodi Picoult, the New York Times bestselling author of Vanishing Acts, offers her most powerful chronicle yet of an American family with a story that probes the unbreakable bond between parent and child -- and the dangerous repercussions of trying to play the hero.Trixie Stone is fourteen years old and in love for the first time. She`s also the light of her father`s life -- a straight-A student; a freshman in high school who is pretty and popular; a girl who`s always looked up to Daniel Stone as a hero. Until, that is, her world is turned upside down with a single act of violence. . . and suddenly everything Trixie has believed about her family -- and herself -- seems to be a lie.For fifteen years, Daniel Stone has been an even-tempered, mild-mannered man: a stay-at-home dad to Trixie and a husband who has put his own career as a comic book artist behind that of his wife, Laura, who teaches Dante`s Inferno at a local college. But years ago, he was completely different: growing up as the only white boy in an Eskimo village, he was teased mercilessly for the color of his skin. He learned to fight back: stealing, drinking, robbing, and cheating his way out of the Alaskan bush. To become part of a family, he reinvented himself, channeling his rage onto the page and burying his past completely. . . until now. Could the young boy who once made Trixie`s face fill with light when he came to the door have been the one to end her childhood forever? She says that he is, and that is all it takes to make Daniel, a man with a history he has hidden even from his family, venture to hell and back in order to protect his daughter.The Tenth Circle looks at that delicate moment when a child learns that her parents don`t know all of the answers and when being a good parent means letting go of your child. It asks whether you can reinvent yourself in the course of a lifetime or if your mistakes are carried forever -- if life is, as in any good comic book, a struggle to control good and evil, or if good and evil control you.-> the publiser of this PAPERBACK book is Hodder & Stoughton in 2006 it has null pages booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse shipping is Free for UK buyers and at a reasonable charge for buyer outside the UK, Hodder & Stoughton, 2006, 2.5, Agam Kala Prakashan, 1982. Hardcover. New. Till a couple of decades back it was almost the concensus of Indian Prehistorians that there never was an Upper Palaeolithic phase in the Stone Age of India. This view held the ground in spite of the discoveries of bone and stone tools by foote in his excavations at Billasurgam caves, Kurnool District, Burkittâs classification of Cammiadeâs collections, Toddâs find at Khandivill near Bombay, as also at Dhok Pathan (Pakistan), Zeunerâs explorations and assessment, etc. all of them have compared their tool repertoire to some lithic industries of European or African Upper Palaeolithic. Since the sixties there has been a spurt in the prehistoric research of India and the intensive as well as extensive explorations and excavattions followed by careful analytical study of correlated stratigraphical and typological evidences as at Renigunta and Kurnool regions of the South, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan, Belan valley in U.P. (which incidentally provides a firm chronological background) compel us to revise the stand hither to taken by earlier savants, since Maharashtra has provided a complete picture in the evolution of this Upper Palaelithic wedged in between the Middle Palaeolithic the Microlithic phases. It is gratifying to note that this has been partially substantiated in the Belan, valley. The precent book by Sharma in five chapters introduction, Distribution of sites and industries, General observations and chronology Patterns of life, art and religion and conclusion in corporates all the evidences of the field work carried out in the entire country, in all its aspect fully and shifting of the date has led the author to eastablish in unequivocal terms the presence of the Upper Palaeolithic in India. Certainly the book, throwing an illuminating ray in the dark alley of Indian prehistory is a welcome addition. Printed Pages: 106., Agam Kala Prakashan, 1982, 6, Viva Books, 2011. First edition. Softcover. New. This book talks of the art of achieving peace and happiness. It is filled with the authorâs lifetime experience and observation of human psychology. For being happy and for having peace of mind one needs to explore the inner world in spite of the outer world. For attaining peace of mind one needs to have a simple lifestyle coupled with a benevolent nature. Happiness is a state of mind, by chasing it no one can have it. In life chasing money destroys the mental set-up and brings unhappiness. For attaining peace one needs to set his own limitations. A person with a well-defined goal generally attains happiness and peace. Clear vision is required for having a tranquil state of mind. For attaining peace in life one needs to send the message of love, peace and happiness to others. Many real-life experiences are portrayed in different chapters of this book. This book is the unfurling of the authorâs lifetime experience. This book has the potential to transform a human being and while reading the reader is expected to realize a gradual metamorphosis in his thought process. The author wants his readers to adopt the proper method of living and enjoy the true meaning of life. The mission of the author is to awaken the dormant unhappy persons within his readers who are in quest of peace and happiness.

In the title of his now famous Confessions, published in the autumn of 1944, Reginald Hine first described himself as `An Uncommon Attorney.' To-day the thousands of readers who delighted in it would not deny him the designation unique. The present volume of his work, issued under the joint editorship of Mrs. Reginald Hine and Mildred Boznlan, is prefaced by a Memoir of the author by Dr. R ichenda Scott, the author's friend and colleague in historical research. The papers in it are a selection from those left finished, but unpublished, at his death in 1949. The contents cover a range in keeping with a lawyer who wore his deep learning with the adornments of a scintillating wit and warm humanity; with the historian whose passion for exact knowledge and detailed research went with the gift of the `common touch'; and with a man who rejoiced in the day's work and the day's play. The collection opens with a remarkable sketch of the daily life and work of an English country squire of the late seventeenth century, divined from an ancient account-book which came into the author's hands; it closes with a study of the life and art of F. L. Griggs. for many years the author's friend. Between these two pieces is to be found a medley of interests. These include various aspects of that local Hertfordshire history for which Hine is renowned-one being a serious, and at the same time often comic, account of the doings of those predecessors of the Home Guard-the Loyal Volunteers of 1803, who stood to arms when Napoleon threatened our shores. There is a vividly told story, based on fact though dressed as fiction, entitled `Killing No Murder.' There are short, pithy essays on such sidelines as the law relating to the use and abuse of footpaths, the law relating to swearing, or (to turn from the Law) Mine's own views on brevity in biography. There is a pen-portrait of a famous Hitchin hostelry which brings the good guidance of old innkeepers, the good company of old Inns, and the very savour of centuries of good food and drink to the reader's soul. There is an account of that only partially studied subject--the writings, secular and religious, sacred and (sometimes in each sense of the word) profane, to be found graved on the stones of ancient churches and known as `Graffiti.' There is the intriguing story of the discovery and identification of an iron fiddle, made and played by John Bunyan in his less regenerate days, and-to complete but a sample list-a deeply humane `meditation' amongst the papers of that Hitchin firm of several hundred years' standing of which we read in the Confessions. It is hoped that the index conforms to the standards of fullness and of accuracy that would be demanded by Reginald Hine himself. ., Dent, 1952, 3, Golgonooza Press. Very Good/Very Good. 2007.

ERIC GILL (1882-1940) is well known as a sculptor, wood and stone carver, letterer, engraver, typeface designer and graphic artist. But he was also a radical religious and social philosopher - a Christian revolutionary - for whom `life was more than art', because it was the highest art, the art of being human. Thus his interests were never theoretical and his view of life was holistic, involving the whole person in a unity of art, work and spiritual values. A convert to Catholicism in 1913, Gill brought to the movement of social and aesthetic renewal founded by Ruskin and William Morris a sensibility sharpened both by Non-conformism and by the enthusiastic acceptance of Thomism. After World War I, Gill helped create the Ditchling Guild, an independent society of Roman Catholics bound together by common faith and common ideas about work and human society. In 1924, Gill moved with his family and a few friends, now living under the rule of third-order Dominicans, to Capel-y-ffin, in South Wales. Here the task of integrating human work and religious life in a craft community continued, and here, too, Gill began to write, at first short pieces, then longer essays. In 1928, he moved back to Buckinghamshire, where he lived until his death. A HOLY TRADITION OF WORKING is an anthology drawn from the full prophetic range of Gill's concerns. The topics covered include: First Things; What is Man?; What is Art?; The Four Causes; Of Work and Responsibility; Of Beauty; Of Imagination; Property, Ownership and Holy Poverty; and A Vision of Normal Society. Brian Keeble writes `There can be no mistaking the directional impulse in Gill's thought; it is heavenward. Not so much a heaven "up there" as one with a more local habitation; the kingdom of heaven within which is the kingdom proper to man, that is, man the maker, one who is uniquely fitted, being created in His image, to "collaborate with God"...' ., Golgonooza Press, 2007, 3, Willard Neal, 1970-01-01.

[From Carving] Stone Mountain's Confederate Memorial is the world's larges piece of sculpture, cut into the side of the world's biggest exposed mass of granite. The carving is 90 feet tall and 190 feet wide, stands eleven and a half feet out from the side of the mountain, and towers 400 feet above the ground in a frame that is 360 feet square, or three acres. Fifty-five years elapsed from the time of the original concept in 1915 until completion of the three figures in 1970.

For writers, painters, or performers in any field, new hope for overcoming creative blocks and finishing the art of their dreams. The blank page, empty canvas, or uncarved stone will often fill artists wit h dread. But so may the thought of finishing, showing, or even selling thei r work. It is in this "artistic anxiety" that creative blocks begin. With an understanding that could only be gained through years of experience in counseling artists, writers, and performers, Eric Maisel, Ph.D. discuss es each stage of creation-wishing, choosing, starting, working, completing, selling--and the anxieties particular to each. He then shows how these inh ibiting tensions can be turned to artistic advantages, how truth and beauty arrive in the work of art precisely because, and only when, anxiety has be en understood, embraced, and resolved. Fearless Creating guides the reader, whether an experienced artist or someo ne just starting out, past the pitfalls that appear in each stage of the pr ocess. By following Dr. Maisel's exercises related both to the world at han d and the ongoing struggles of artistic life, readers will emerge from this book with a completed work of art and a new perspective on their potential to be a fearless creator. Editorial Reviews Review Besides being a writer himself, Eric Maisel is a therapist with a practice centered around artists, writers and performers and has seen many of the demons that haunt the creative life firsthand.

Paperback. Excellent. -. Outline:- The narrator of THE GARGOYLE is a very contemporary cynic, physically beautiful and sexually adept, who dwells in the moral vacuum that is modern life. As the book opens, he is driving along a dark road when he is distracted by what seems to be a flight of arrows. He crashes into a ravine and suffers horrible burns over much of his body. As he recovers in a burn ward, undergoing the tortures of the damned, he awaits the day when he can leave the hospital and commit carefully planned suicide - for he is now a monster in appearance as well as in soul.A beautiful and compelling, but clearly unhinged, sculptress of gargoyles by the name of Marianne Engel appears at the foot of his bed and tells him that they were once lovers in medieval Germany. In her telling, he was a badly injured mercenary and she was a nun and scribe in the famed monastery of Engelthal who nursed him back to health. As she spins their tale in Scheherazade fashion and relates equally mesmerizing stories of deathless love in Japan, Iceland, Italy, and England, he finds himself drawn back to life - and finally in love. He is released into Marianne`s care and takes up residence in her huge stone house. But all is not well. For one thing, the pull of his past sins becomes ever more powerful as the morphine he is prescribed becomes ever more addictive. For another, Marianne receives word from God that she only has twenty-seven sculptures left to complete - and her time on earth will be finished.Already an international literary sensation, THE GARGOYLE is an Inferno for our time.
