The Best Supernatural Tales of Algernon Blackwood pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
There is an extraordinary unity in the work
of this great author. All his books deal with
the strange, supernatural, terror, macabre,
other-worldly. He is at his best in his shorter
tales and this selection of them was com-
piled by the author himself at his best.
Unlike other authors who seek to thrill us
with things uncanny but don t believe in
them, Algernon Blackwood s tales are im-
pregnated with a profound belief in the
supernatural which was their author s life-
long conviction.
The large public audience which now
exists for books on alternate states of con-
sciousness-yoga, meditation, cosmic con-
sciofJsness, hypnotism, magic, alchemy and
so on--that audience should be especially
interested in this author s imaginative works
about higher states of consciousness.
Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was
formed in his struggle to free himself from
the stiflingly narrow Evangelical household
of his father, a British civil servant. At age
twenty he migrated to Canada and for the
next decade lived a perilous existence in
Canada and the United States. Then he
returned to England and began to write. His
very-first stories expressed his profound
belief in the supernatural--a supernatural
altogether different from that which had
gripped his father.
Seeming chance led him as a boy to a
copy of the Yoga of Patanjali and thereafter
a deep sense of Karma sustained him amid
all difficulties. A Hindu fellow-student taught
him spiritual exercises. A physician, his
teacher at Edinburgh, taught him the thera-
peutic uses of hypnotism.
