Pagans
A clear, concise and detailed historical analysis of the eclectic and beautiful visual and material culture of paganism.The book begins with an introduction that clarifies what we mean by 'pagan'. It traces the pre-Christian origins of paganism, the development of the different aspects of pagan belief over centuries and how materials from the pre-Christian religions of Europe, North Africa and West Asia are built into the practices of today's Pagans. The book is then organized into three broad sections - Ancient Ways, Ritual and Community - each containing three themed chapters. For each of the nine themed chapters, illustrated narrative text is interspersed with double-page presentations of the key figures, key stories and key iconography relevant to that theme. Paintings and artefacts are examined in detail, identifying and explaining the symbolism and the stories depicted in each. As the book progresses, readers will not only come to understand the many symbols that define pagan religions and practices, but will also discover the beliefs and philosophies of pagans from around the world, from polytheism to pantheism and from magic and ritual to ideas about the afterlife.

Paganism Persisting
Paganism in Europe was not defeated by Christianity: it never went away. From the fourth century to the twentieth, against the background of a largely Christian culture, people repeatedly attempted to revive various kinds of pre-Christian religion – beliefs and practices that we have come to label as ‘paganism’. Ancient paganism did not survive the Middle Ages in its original form; this book tells the story of the persistence of elements of paganism and the pagan idea through Europe’s pagan revivals, from Byzantine Greece to medieval Eastern Europe and Renaissance Florence, from eighteenth-century Norwich to revolutionary Paris and Edwardian England. While some of these revivals are well known and others are almost entirely forgotten, they reveal the rich diversity of interpretations of paganism – and how those interpretations have been conditioned by the surrounding culture. Revived paganisms ranged from the austerely rational to the earnestly romantic, from the mystical and occult

Gargantis , Ljudbok
Jokin salaperäinen ja mahtava on heräämäisillään Aaverannan vesissä. Gargantis vie lukijansa takaisin Aaverannan maailmaan ja tarjoaa poikkeuksellisen kutkuttavan lukukokemuksen Harry Potter -kirjojen hengessä. Herbie Sitrus ja Orvokki Parma jatkavat uhkarohkeita mutta tuloksekkaita tutkimuksiaan mystisessä merenrantakaupungissa. Aaverantaa riepottavat toinen toistaan hurjemmat talvimyrskyt ja on syytä epäillä, ettei niiden alkuperä ole tästä maailmasta. Onko legendaarinen Gargantis tulossa etsimään aarrettaan ja sitä raukkaa, joka sen alun perin vei? Sarjan ensimmäisestä osasta sanottua: ”Malamanteri ei jäljittele J. K. Rowlingia, vaikka Jenni Hanniverin kirja-apteekki ja sen mekaaninen merenapina, joka sylkee ulos kirjareseptejä, ansaitsisi kyllä myyntipaikan Viistokujalta. Mieluumminkin Taylorin mielikuvitus tuottaa samanlaisen poikkeuksellisen kutkuttavan lukukokemuksen.” – Alex O’Connell, THE TIMES Thomas Taylor on brittiläinen kirjailija ja taiteilija, joka muistetaan mm. ensimmäisen Harry Potter -kirjan kannen kuvittajana. Malamanteri aloitti Aaveranta-sarjan, tarina-aarrearkun, jossa salaisuudet ja legendat huuhtoutuvat unohtumattoman merenrantakylän rannoille.

Gatans Arv
Familjen Lackland är splittrad. Abel har blivit hård och vresig; han kommer inte överens med sönerna William och Rupert om hur sjukhuset ska skötas och har inte längre kontakt med sina äldsta barn Jonah och Abby. Och när en koleraepidemi drabbar London ökar pressen på både familjen och sjukhuset. Abby har blivit änka och lever nu ensam med sin son. När hon möter kärleken i Gideon som är av judisk härkomst, tvingas hon välja mellan att lyssna till sitt hjärtas begär och att följa samhällets konventioner. Samtidigt kämpar Jonah i sitt äktenskap med Celia som inte kan glömma Jonahs tidigare relation med Lilith. Celias oförmåga att släppa taget, och Liliths elaka lynne, kommer att få ödesdigra konsekvenser. Claire Rayners krönika över Lackland-släkten sträcker sig från början av 1800-talet till långt in på 1900-talet. Serien består av 12 delar som både kan läsas fristående och kronologiskt.
