Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fitz Hugh Ludlow burst on the literary scene in 1857 with the unlikely best seller The Hasheesh Eater. Written when he was just 20 years old, the book swept him into a career as a full-time New York City writer and Bohemian. He became a prolific novelist, short story author, arts critic, travel writer, journalist and editor. His friends and colleagues ranged from Walt Whitman to Brigham Young to Mark Twain. The material published in Ludlow's Collected Works displays a depth of observation, a breadth of erudition and an appetite for extreme experience applied to the emerging modern American nation. The Hasheesh Eater was the first discussion of drug effects to appear outside the context of addiction and moral failing. It contains eloquent meditations and insights yielded by the drug in fields ranging from music, religion and philosophy, fields where Ludlow was significantly well-read even at such a young age. The book's appeal is quite modern, and latter day personalities ranging from H.P. Lovecraft to Timothy Leary to Terrance McKenna have praised the book. This Logosophia edition is re-edited and reformatted from the original, with a new introduction by Donald P. Dulchinos, author of the highly-acclaimed biography of Ludlow, Pioneer of Inner Space.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Traditionally, the mountains are from whence wisdom is found and dispensed, the homes of the gods, places we look up to for aspiration and inspiration. Yet there is another source of insight, which involves a katabasis, from the Ancient Greek, meaning 'to go down', to travel from this world to the underworld. There, the chthonic gods and goddesses are just as real, and maybe just a little bit edgy from being neglected for so long. It is the journey of the initiate, to die before your die, thence to live twice-born: once of the flesh, and again of wisdom, Sophia. Katabatic Wind is an inspired collection of essays drawn from the lost unknown sacred tradition of the West. Using the lens of mythology, pre-Socratic Greek thought, and a long essay comparing the West with the Indian tradition through the characters of Hamlet and Arjuna of the Bhagavad Gita, this book illumines how these traditions shadow life lived today. The kernel of these essays is loss, longing for return, and the grief of living in a society without an inkling of its sacred origin story.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fitz Hugh Ludlow burst on the literary scene in 1857 with the unlikely best seller The Hasheesh Eater. Written when he was just 20 years old, the book swept him into a career as a prolific novelist, short story author, arts critic, travel writer, journalist and editor. His friends and colleagues ranged from Walt Whitman to Brigham Young to Mark Twain. The material published in Ludlow's Collected Works displays a depth of observation, a breadth of erudition and an appetite for extreme experience applied to the emerging modern American nation. The Heart of the Continent, published in 1870, bookended his brief but prolific 13-year career. It is a sweeping treatment of the American West on the cusp of its full settlement and exploitation. His view was up close, gritty and personal. He spent several weeks on The Overland Stagecoach, from Atchison in the Kansas territory to a San Francisco catching its breath just 15 years after Sutter's Mill. He brought back the first shocking tales of 'free love' in the new Mormon Zion of Utah, and equally shocking but more violent views of lynchings, Indian massacres and the Wild West. Ludlow's breadth of interests is in full flower here. He writes with equal sublimeness about nature--especially encountering the majestic Rocky Mountains; the harships and joys of travel; the characters he meets; hunting; food; and an astonishing array of sciences--geology, botany, chemistry, medicine and zoology. Ludlow's traveling companion for this journey is the great American painter Albert Bierstadt, whose sketches illustrate the book. This new edition has been lovingly re-edited and reformatted from the original. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fitz Hugh Ludlow burst on the literary scene in 1857 with the unlikely best seller The Hasheesh Eater. Written when he was just 20 years old, the book swept him into a career as a prolific novelist, short story author, arts critic, travel writer, journalist and editor. His friends and colleagues ranged from Walt Whitman to Brigham Young to Mark Twain. The material published in Ludlow's Collected Works displays a depth of observation, a breadth of erudition and an appetite for extreme experience applied to the emerging modern American nation. The first (and only) biography of Ludlow, Pioneer of Inner Space, was first published in 1998 by Autonomedia Press, as part of a series of critical reconsiderations of drug policy in America. It is no accident that this compilation of Ludlow's Collected Works coincides with yet another turn in social attitudes with legalization of marijuana in multiple states. Further, academic attitudes have changed, and Ludlow is the focus of many recent reviews of his drug writings, his Bohemian lifestyle and professional life in 19th century New York City. Publication of this new edition of Pioneer of Inner Space--which has been updated, re-illustrated and contains Ludlow's extant lettters and poetry--fittingly concludes his Collected Works, and provides valuable personal context and insight for Ludlow's varied writings, finally available in their entirety to the research community and the general public. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hermes Runs the Games shows how the arc of the covid years is a perfect fit to an inversion of every element of the archaic Greek animal sacrifice, invented by Hermes. Hermes, as presiding deity over commerce, travel, borders, initiation and thievery, is woven into every aspect of the covid op. He was busy in his aspect of psychopomp, guide of souls, to their afterlife destination. This inversion reaches its nadir in the depraved abuse and sacrifice of our children. The last third of the book turns to the light of the Greek mystery tradition, how it was transformed into rationalism, and the possibility of now reconnecting with the nearly-occluded vision of the divine illuminating the sacred origins of the western tradition. This is a book looking deeply at the spiritual underpinnings of the age we are living through.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fitz Hugh Ludlow (1836-1870) burst on the literary scene in 1857 with the unlikely best seller The Hasheesh Eater. Written when he was just 20 years old, the book swept him into a career as a prolific novelist, short story author, arts critic, travel writer, journalist and editor. The material published in Ludlow's Collected Works displays a depth of observation, a breadth of erudition and an appetite for extreme experience applied to the emerging modern American nation. Volume 3, Genre-Tales and the Alcohol Novels, contains four examples of the lighter fiction he wrote to pay his bills in the Feminine Fifties, all lit up by humor and close observations of the genteel life of 1850's New York. But two of the three serial novels presented here, unusual for their time, treat alcohol as a festive source of humor and interesting states of consciousness. The third novel, The Household Angel, was his masterpiece, a portrayal of alcoholism and its effects on family and society. It signaled the arrival of a major talent, who unfortunately died at age 34 before his full promise as a novelist could be fulfilled.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fitz Hugh Ludlow's non-fction essays, travelogues and criticism ranged as widely in subject matter as he did in his geographic travels to the southern and the western edges of the United States. His sketches of Florida provide a view of pre-Civil War slaves and slave-owners, as well as an early view of Florida as a haven for invalids and the elderly. His theatre and musical criticism highlight early stars of the New York stage, including Edwin Booth (brother of John Wilkes Booth), and of New York concert performances including Creole pianist and composer Louis Gottschalk. At the end of his career, he returned to the subject of drugs in a very different vein, as both a student and a sufferer of the opium habit. Ludlow burst on the literary scene in 1857 with the unlikely best seller The Hasheesh Eater. Written when he was just 20 years old, the book swept him into a career as a prolifc novelist, short story author, arts critic, travel writer, journalist and editor. His friends and colleagues ranged from Walt Whitman to Brigham Young to Mark Twain. The material published in Ludlow's Collected Works displays a depth of observation, a breadth of erudition and an appetite for extreme experience applied to the emerging modern American nation.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fitz Hugh Ludlow's short stories are collected here for the first time. He burst on the literary scene in 1857 with the unlikely best seller The Hasheesh Eater. Written when he was just 20 years old, the book swept him into a career as a prolific novelist, short story author, arts critic, travel writer, journalist and editor. His friends and colleagues ranged from Walt Whitman to Brigham Young to Mark Twain. The material published in Ludlow's Collected Works displays a depth of observation, a breadth of erudition and an appetite for extreme experience applied to the emerging modern American nation. The Heart of the Continent, published in 1870, bookended his brief but prolific 13-year career. Though famous for his non-fiction explorations, Ludlow's bread and butter as a full-time professional writer was the short story. As this volume testifies, he was prolific in his short, fourteen-year career and covered a wide range. His humorous light fiction was set in the daily life of New York City's upper middle class. He produced several Poe-influenced tales of the weird. And he was most successful when basing stories on emotional incidents from his own life, including tales satirizing religious squabbles (informed by his upbringing by a born-again, Abolitionist preacher), tales of love lost from among his own family's disappointments, and stories turning on his experiences on the Overland Stage to California in 1863.…
