关于此电子书
Andrew Lang's "The Book of Dreams and Ghosts" seamlessly intertwines folklore, psychology, and the supernatural, crafting a fascinating exploration of dream narratives and ghostly encounters. Lang employs an elegant narrative style that reflects his expertise in both anthropology and literary criticism, allowing readers to traverse the blurred lines between reality and the ethereal. The text is rich with cultural references and vivid anecdotes, inviting readers into a labyrinth of dreams that challenge perceptions of the waking world, while drawing extensively on the mythological and ghost stories prevalent during the late 19th century. Lang, a prominent Scottish poet, novelist, and anthropologist, was deeply entrenched in the study of folklore and myths, which greatly influenced his writing. His extensive research into various cultural traditions and his passion for storytelling provided the perfect foundation for this book. Lang's belief in the power of literature to convey deeper truths about human experience made him an ideal candidate to investigate the significance of dreams and the cultural implications of ghost stories. I highly recommend "The Book of Dreams and Ghosts" to readers who relish psychological inquiry intertwined with literary finesse. It not only serves as a compelling anthology of spectral accounts but also stimulates profound reflections on the nature of reality. This book will captivate those intrigued by the realm of the supernatural, as well as scholars interested in the crossover between folklore and literary traditions.
作者简介
Andrew Lang (1844–1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known for his work as a collector of folk and fairy tales. A prolific author, Lang produced a diverse array of writings, including the twelve-volume 'Fairy Books' series, which has ensured his lasting fame. These books compiled stories from various cultures and were notable for the way he preserved the original storytelling virtues. 'The Blue Fairy Book' (1889), the first in the series, is perhaps the most famous. An accomplished academic, Lang also explored historical topics, authoring works such as 'A Short History of Scotland' and dipped into classical scholarship with translations like 'The Odyssey'. His interest in the supernatural and the unexplained is exemplified in 'The Book of Dreams and Ghosts' (1897), a compilation of uncanny phenomena which reflects both his scientific interest in psychical research and a keen understanding of human fascination with the mysterious. Lang's approach to writing was often marked by a clear, narrative style, and an ability to relate complex ideas in an accessible manner. A polymath and a prominent figure at the crossroads of literature and anthropology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Lang's literary style combined the objectivity of a researcher with the creativity of a storyteller — a blend that continues to engage and enchant readers to this day.
