Podcasts about Melmoth

Episode 215 has a rather grandiose title but let us stop for a second and take stock. This southern land, swept by thunderstorms that appear as if by magic, and lash the landscape, rumble across the stubby veld, slinging lightning like a million volt silver sjambok, shaking rocks with their deep growls, bring everything back to life. The air before this denizens of the blue sky pass by is sullen, the horizon hazed over, after the rains everything is crisp, visibility can change in seconds from a few hundred metres to a few hundred kilometres. I was raised in Nkwalini valley in northern Zululand, where the mysterious Mhlathuze River flows powerfully after these storms, the valley is ringed by mountains that rise from 650 feet above sea level feet to over 3000 feet a few minutes drive up around Melmoth. And from these heights, you can see the Indian Ocean 40 kilometres away after one of these refreshing storms. Southern Africa had been drying out substantially throughout the first half of the 19th Century. Historian Charles Ballard notes that climatic research has pointed to opposite extremes of weather patterns in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The climatic regime in southern Africa of dry and warm conditionsin the early nineteenth century was the reverse of the Northern Hemisphere's colder and wetter weather at this time. Some animals, like humans, would not survive this —others like the ostrich were in their element. Turning to Natal, much of the interior was unstable, drought and famine led early white settlers to believe it had always been devoid of people whereas it had been abandoned. There is a difference between the two concepts — never settled or previously settled? Nguni speaking refugees, not always amaZulu, arrived back in their homes in Natal through this period only to find that the settler community considered them to be aliens and a race of "vagabonds." It became a conventional ideological tool for those who sought to justify the expropriation of land. The people were driven away by a long list of threats, military, environmental, meteorological. With that preamble, let's focus initially on the strange saga of John Dunn who has appeared in all his curious glory in prevous episodes. Cetshwayo gave John Dunn ten oxen and a tract of land. By July, the former border agent had resigned his job and moved into Zululand permanently. He'd had it with the British. The tract of land given to Dunn was extensive, in the immediate coastal region of southern Zululand known as Ungoye, which extended from Ngoye forest all the way down to the lower Thukela. Shortly after he moved in, Dunn took many wives. By1860 he was regarded as one of the most influential chiefs in the Zulu kingdom, ruling over more than 50 square kilometers of land and thousands of subjects. By 1860 Dunn was the main source of fireams entering Zululand, and these items rapidly replaced cattle as the main payment for lobola.

Melmoth The Wanderer by Charles Robert Maturin audiobook. One of the first horror novels, it tells the story of Melmoth, who sells his soul so he could have an extended life. Throughout the novel, he wanders around the world in search of someone who would replace him and lift his curse. It is known for its many sub-plots, the true horror it makes one feel, and its criticism of the Catholic church. This is certainly one of the most important books of all times, quoted in countless other works, and praised by authors and critics alike. Learn more about your ad choices.

Wenn das Schicksal uns verbindet … Der gefühlvolle Liebesroman vor gemütlicher Kleinstadt-Kulisse

El 3 de noviembre de 1927 el escritor norteamericano H.P. Lovecraft relataría por carta a su amigo y corresponsal literario Donald Wandrei,uno de sus más recientes y vívidos sueños, una travesía épica por el mundo onírico, cuyos parajes ignotos le habian sido negados cada vez con mayor frecuencia al alcanzar la madurez. A menudo Lovecraft se referiría a sus sueños como un universo paralelo, en el que las proezas de los onironautas eran solo equiparables a los heroes de antaño, capaces de construir aventuras y ciudades perladas de maravillas o de padecer los horrores innombrables de la ignota oscuridad, una vía de comunicación con extrañas entidades que habitaban rincones olvidados del cosmos más allá del tiempo y el espacio... Y en nuestro viaje por las tierras del sueño de esta noche, Pero incluso si se trataba de un sueño fragmentado,, el relato llegaría a publicarse en la revista Scienti-Snaps años después de la muerte de Lovecraft;,, en el verano de 1940. La misiva comienza con las palabras "Querido Melmoth", el apodo asignado a Wandrei dentro del círculo de Lovecraft, posiblemente en referencia al personaje central de la novela Melmoth el errabundo Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

This is episode 82 and we're picking up the story from where we left off last Episode the Ndwandwe were chasing the AmaZulu down the Mhlathuze Valley, just north of the modern town of Eshowe, just south of Melmoth. And for those geopolitical folks, that's just down the drag from Nkhandla. Most historians believe this battle took place in 1819, but some also think it may have been a year later. But the exact year is not as important than what this battle would herald. Zwide's Ndwandwe were on the rampage, he'd sent his warriors from his main umuzi Ndweneni and they'd overrun the Zulu Centres of Mbelebeleni and esiKlebheni, and then driven the Zulu before them. The established Ndwandwe leader was sick and tired of this young upstart called Shaka of the little clan called the Zulu and was trying to teach him a lesson. Shaka had ample warning about this attack and moved his people before the NDwandwe arrived, then led his enemy on a wild goose chase to the south. The storytellers say that he ordered his warriors to create the impression that his main force was where it wasn't – so to speak. There are stories that Shaka created the chest and horns attacking formation, but we know that Dingiswayo and even Senzangakhona used the direct attack followed by an outflanking technique. While much has been written and many many scribes have fallen over themselves talking about this chest and horns genius, Shaka only really used this horns and chest double flanking manoevre once in his entire history of battles and fights – and that was in 1826 in the Sikhunyane battle, which ended without a clear victor anyway. Once again, the real story is much more interesting and much more complex.

Bio: Carrie Melmoth is based in Southampton (UK). She generally tries to elude definition, but the following statement are nevertheless true. She sometimes writes about Philip K. Dick (with particular empahsis on him as a neoplatonist). She spends much of her time reading and walking parks and meadows and by the sea (sometimes at the same time because audiobooks exist). She is fascinated by tarot, and by signs and symbols in general - metaphors are moreish! She is in a (very protozoan) band called Venn. Websites are a faff but she has a tumblr that performs the same function: https://carrie-the-scrivener.tumblr.com/ The daily practice I find most nourishing is nidra yoga. I have struggled with anxiety since I was little, and a couple years ago at a writing retreat I discovered nidra yoga and it's been really transformative. While knowing that there is a way to soothe my mind and sink into a perfectly peaceful featherbed of calm is a relief, it's also increasingly deepening the sense of peace there is in other sources (sitting in the garden meditating listening to classical music, for instance), and in ... tuning into to Source (is the best way I can think of putting it). So that's an unexpected bonus! There are lots of nidra yoga videos online, and I'd recommend Tanis Fishman's videos. I'm *always* reading 'The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick' (the 2011 edition predominantly). It's tantamount to being my bible. It got me much more deeply into philosophical questions than any book ever had before, and continues to be a book I have an ongoing dialogue with. Do I agree with everything Dick writes in there? No, and neither does he. But the core concepts are sound. This is basically neoplatonism in the 1970s, a (hefty) footnote to Plato, and as good a lamp as any to lead the way out of the cave. 'Cromwell and Communism: Socialism and Democracy in the Great English Revolution' by Eduard Bernsein (1930) is both really interesting in terms of how Britain could theoretically have become a very early uptaker of (neo)communism à la Gerrard Winstanley, and just historically fascinating because it includes sizeable quotes from the seventeenth century from people who were considering (when it come down to it) the same political questions that we're considering today. It's all surprisingly relatebale. 'The PDA Paradox: The Highs and Lows of My Life on a Little-Known Part of the Autism Spectrum' by Harry Thompson (2019) is about something that I ... I wouldn't say have so much as am. The whole autism discourse, however well-intentioned (and it isn't always), usually annoys the life out of me. It's a very important subject, particularly at a time when there is a lot of debate, even within "the autistic community", around whether autism is a disability/pathology, or whether pathologisation can itself be a form of disablement/discrimination. For one thing, the statistics are that in the UK 22% of ("diagnosed") autistic adults are employed. The vast majority of the rest have to subsist on a benefits (welfare) system that the UN has said violates human rights obligations. So clearly there's a lot to be addressed and written about in terms of autistic rights (and maybe I should write something). But this is just a memoir by someone who is quite a lot like me, talking about a way of being that is very like my own, and that's really refreshing. There are lots of books about autism, but not very many specifically about PDA. And last but by no means least The Red Boo

Literary monsters with gothic writer Sarah Perry, an over-the-top monster in Thomas Harris' new novel Cari Mora, and a monstrous system in Philip Kerr's Metropolis

This week on The Pleasure Podcast, our guest is the brilliantly bright, best-selling author Sarah Perry.Sarah's novels After Me Comes The Flood, The Essex Serpent, and Melmoth have made her into a house-hold name. The Essex Serpent was a number one bestseller in hardback, was shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award and was named Waterstones Book of the Year. It is currently being adapted for screen. Melmoth, a Gothic masterpiece of moral complexity, asking us profound questions about mercy, redemption, and how to make the best of our conflicted world, was a Sunday Times Bestseller and was shortlisted for The International Dylan Thomas Prize. She's been compared to Dickens, Bram Stoker and Kafka. But her writing refuses to follow conventions and genre and her Gothic spirit is always accompanied by sharp originality.She also happens to be one of the most interesting, worldly women I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Sarah's puritanical upbringing led her to find a secret world of pleasure and erotic imagination in literature, whether in Tess of the D'Urbervilles or her sisters' Jilly Cooper books stashed under the bed. Her tastes are wide and her conversation deep. We talk about what makes the great erotic moments in literature, what we're programmed to find erotic, the ethics of writing, the inadequacy of filthy language... and if there there really should be a Bad Sex Awards at all.She also reads out some delicious poetry by Hannah Sullivan and sexy James Joyce letters. Best to listen on your earphones for this one.The Pleasure Podcast is hosted by Naomi Sheldon and Anand Patel, edited by Matt Peover and hosted by Acast.After Me Comes The Flood, The Essex Serpent, and Melmoth are published by Serpent's TailThe Hannah Sullivan poem we discuss is You, Very Young in New York from Three PoemsElizabeth Smart's By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept is available hereYou can read some of James Jocye's letters to Nora hereAnd here's quotes from the full shortlist of the 2018 Bad Sex AwardsSocial Media:Naomi Sheldon @NaomiSheldon1Anand Patel @therealdranandSarah Perry www.sarahperry.net See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
