Sulla Cosmogonia Mosaica: Triplice Saggio Di Una Esegesi Della Storia Della Creazione Secondo la Ragione E La Fede by Antonio Stoppani, originally published in 1887, explores the Mosaic cosmogony through the lens of reason and faith. This work offers a detailed exegesis of the creation narrative, attempting to reconcile scientific understanding with religious belief. Stoppani's approach provides valuable insights into the intellectual and theological debates of the late 19th century regarding the relationship between science and religion. The book remains relevant for those interested in the historical interplay between scientific inquiry and religious interpretation, offering a nuanced perspective on the challenges and possibilities of harmonizing these two domains.

SYNOPSIS
He stopped, look back, and saw it the monstrous black thing staring at him from the tree . . .
This summer sees the long-anticipated re-issue of The Ceremonies, a celebrated masterpiece from a generation ago, now fully corrected by its author. Chalking up the British Fantasy Award for Best First Novel on its original publication back in 1984, The Ceremonies was hailed by Stephen King as the best horror novel since Peter Straub s Ghost Story. It is now included inHorror: 100 Best Books.
From the terrifying vision of its opening scene to the breathtaking horror of its climax, The Ceremonies turns our familiar world into a place of malevolent intrigue and ominous design. In the grip of an extraordinary writer, it plumbs the darkest underpinnings of ancient myth and folklore to reveal an undying evil.
For graduate student Jeremy Freirs, citified, cynical, yet prone to daydreams, summer is the time to shed a few pounds and finally get some reading done for a course on gothic literature. He's picked just the right place: the small, secluded village of Gilead, New Jersey, only ninety minutes from Manhattan but, with its antique customs and clannish traditions, seemingly centuries away. For farmers Sarr and Deborah Poroth, young members of Gilead's fundamentalist community, the summer threatens a conflict between their passionate natures and the stern dictates of their faith. For Sarr's widowed mother, gifted with second sight, it promises the frightful awakening she's dreaded all her life. And for aspiring dancer Carol Conklin, a naive country girl struggling to survive in the city, it brings not only the first blush of romance but a lucky job with a kindly-looking old man known as Mr. Rosebottom.
But Rosie, as he calls himself, bears a more sinister name the Old One and a far more terrifying secret. Though the signs are all about them, he alone knows the invisible design that rules these people's lives as they dance unwittingly toward doom: for in the heat of summer an ancient corruption is stirring, an evil rooted not far from the Poroth farm, yet reaching to the city and beyond. The time has come for the Ceremonies, the monstrous rites that will unleash on a despised creation an age-old promise of apocalypse. And to see the scheme unfold, like some deadly flower, is to watch a nightmare come to life.
