Описание: Another brilliant collection of tales from beyond the veil

Tales of ghosts and horror can be found in every age, country and culture on earth; they have been passed down orally for millennia and in written form have existed for almost as long as literature itself. Although there have been notable novels of spine chilling hauntings there can be little doubt that the ghost story is a form ideally suited to short stories or novellas. The story that frightens can be explicitly so, with screaming phantoms, a morality tale or humorous, it can be subtly menacing with creeping horror, and can be set almost anywhere. Such stories have never waned in their popularity with the reading public and it is for this reason that so many authors have applied their talents to creating them. Essentially we love to be thrilled and chilled simultaneously. Some of the finest exponents of the ghost story have been specialists who became masters of the genre, while others wrote scary stories to the same high standard as all their work. In the middle of the 19th century the appetite for tales of terror burgeoned and a golden age was born that lasted until the outbreak of Great War. It is probably fair to say that the finest works of the genre were created during this period and it is principally from those that the twenty-nine stories in this substantial anthology have been drawn. This bumper collection of some of the best stories of the ghostly and horrific has been gathered together by Eunice Hetherington.
In The Second Leonaur Book of Great Ghost and Horror Stories are The Yellow Cat by Wilbur Steele, A Witches Den by Mme Helena Blavatsky, The Box With Iron Clamps by Florence Marryat, The Clavecin, Bruges by George Wharton Edwards, The Lost Room by Fitz-James OBrien, The Sin Eater by Fiona MacLeod and many more fine tales of the chilling and weird.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Описание: What have the great philosophers written about the nature of knowledge? Epistemology: The Key Thinkers tells the story of how our thinking about knowledge has developed, introducing you to some of the problems and forces that have dominated the history of philosophy.

Beginning with Plato, Aristotle, ancient sceptics, and the medievals, before moving to Descartes, the British empiricists, Kant, American pragmatism, and twentieth-century thinkers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, W. V. O. Quine, Alvin Goldman, and beyond, each chapter guides you through the ideas, contribution, and legacy of a leading philosopher or movement. This second edition includes:

- A new chapter covering medieval epistemology
- Extended guides to further reading and future directions for epistemology

The final chapter looks to the future, highlighting some of the very latest debates that energise philosophical writing today about knowledge and how we know what we know.

Описание:

Twenty-two chilling tales recommended by critics of supernatural fiction

Anthologies of ghost stories are perennially popular. Sometimes the raison d'etre for a collection might be that the stories embrace a particular theme or that the fame or authority of the compiler imbues a special appeal or credibility. However, it occurred to the Leonaur editors that the principal concern of anyone buying such an anthology must surely be that the stories included will be of the highest order as examples of originally plotted fine writing, guaranteed to deliver the required thrills and chills. In consideration of how that outcome might best be achieved and offered to readers we decided to research as many lists of 'the best ghost stories' as we could find, compiled by critics, informed journalists and authorities of supernatural fiction, to determine which stories those people--based on as much consensus as possible--believed were, indeed, the finest ghostly tales written during the 'golden age' of the genre. Sometimes their lists included well-known stories that would be familiar to most ghost story enthusiasts, so these were removed from consideration. What remained were 42 stories which had received deservedly high praise and these we have divided between two Leonaur volumes. These collections are also available as Leonaur 'Christmas Books' since they make ideal gifts, but are here offered in the familiar Leonaur 'Supernatural and Weird Fiction' cover for both a general readership and series collectors.

In volume two can be found the anonymous story 'Pichon & Sons of the Croix Rousse', 'The Story of Mary Ancel' by William Makepeace Thackeray, 'At Crighton Abbey' by Mary Braddon, 'The Miniature' by J. Y. Akerton, 'The Tapestried Chamber' by Sir Walter Scott and sixteen other creepy tales.

Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
