Лучшие книги Эрика Рюкера Эддисона

Когда впервые вышел "Властелин Колец" Дж. Р. Р. Толкина, обозреватели поняли, что его можно по праву сравнить только с одной книгой, великим фантастическим романом Э. Р. Эддисона "Змей Уроборос". Действие этого потрясающего романа о необыкновенных приключениях разворачивается на далекой, захватывающе красивой планете, населенной лордами и королями, могучими воинами и красавицами с волосами, как вороново крыло. Это рассказ о великой войне за власть, героических деяних и изощренном коварстве. Впервые на русском языке — в переводе легендарной Валерии Маториной!

"Моя книга это не имитация и не «улучшенное и дополненное» издание саги. Надеюсь, что дыхание саг все же присутствует в ней, ибо это живое дыхание и одно из величайших в человеческой истории. И все же я не собираюсь обезьянничать и копировать построение саг, а хочу рассказать историю по своему и сделать это как можно лучше.
Имя Стирбьерна барабаном отдавалось в моей памяти с тех пор как двадцать лет тому назад я прочел беглое упоминание о нем" (Э.Р. Эддисон)

«Контекстуализированная концепция психоида Юнга» изучает вопрос связи тела и разума с точки зрения юнгианского клинического подхода. Загадочный, не до конца понятный элемент работы Юнга, этот концепт все же занимает фундаментальное место в его общем понимании психики, поскольку с точки зрения Юнга психоидное бессознательное является основой архетипического опыта.
Эта книга в новом ключе исследует концепцию психоида, опираясь как на труды Юнга, так и на беседы с терапевтами об их клинической практике. Данная книга является важным дополнением к юнгианской теории, демонстрируя пользу его концепции психоида в наши дни и предлагая широкий спектр взглядов на ее применение в клинической и культурной практике.

The third volume in the classic epic trilogy of parallel worlds, admired by Tolkien and the great prototype for The Lord of the Rings and modern fantasy fiction.E. R. Eddison was the author of three of the most remarkable fantasies in the English language: The Worm Ouroboros, Mistress of Mistresses and A Fish Dinner in Memison. Linked together as separate parts of one vast romantic epic, fans who clamoured for more were finally rewarded 13 years after Eddison’s death with the publication of the uncompleted fourth novel, written during the dark years of the Second World War.This new edition of The Mezentian Gate includes additional narrative fragments of the story missing from the original 1958 edition. Together with an illuminating introduction by Eddison scholar Paul Edmund Thomas, this volume returns Edward Lessingham to the extravagant realm of Zimiamvia and concludes one of the most extraordinary and influential fantasy series ever written.

Egil’s Saga is the 10th-century Nordic equivalent of The Iliad and The Odyssey. Translated from the Icelandic withan introduction, notes and an essay, this is the first time Eddison’s version of this epic heroic saga has been made available as a digital book.The saga of Egil, son of Grim the Bald, tells the exciting tale of a medieval warrior-poet and his many Viking adventures. Challenged by his ugly appearance and haunted by rumours that his grandfather was a werewolf, Egil devotes himself to Odin, god of kings, warriors and poets, and determines to avenge his father’s exile from Norway. With action ranging across Iceland and Scandinavia down to Scotland and England, Egil’s thrilling encounters include kings, sorcerers, berserkers and outlaws, as the story follows his transformation from youthful savagery to mature wisdom.Sometimes considered the greatest of the Icelandic sagas, Egil’s Saga is the 10th-century Nordic equivalent of The Iliad and The Odyssey. Eddison’s acclaimed translation, published in 1930, has been long unavailable, and demonstrates the author’s amazing capacity for evocative and erudite language. It reflects the swift dramatic terseness and vivid character-drawing which made the saga style in prose narrative such an enduring model for modern historical and fantasy literature, and his meticulous translation includes elaborate notes and annotations.

The first volume in the classic epic trilogy of parallel worlds, admired by Tolkien and the great prototype for The Lord of the Rings and modern fantasy fiction.According to legend, the Gates of Zimiamvia lead to a land ‘that no mortal foot may tread, but that souls of the dead that were great upon earth do inhabit.’ Here they forever live, love, do battle, and even die again.Edward Lessingham – artist, poet, king of men and lover of women – is dead. But from Aphrodite herself, the Mistress of Mistresses, he has earned the promise to live again with the gods in Zimiamvia in return for her own perilous future favours.This sequel to The Worm Ouroboros recounts the story of Lessingham’s first day in this strange Valhalla, where a lifetime is a day and where – among enemies, enchantments, guile and triumph – his destiny can be rewritten.
