In The Glance of the Medusa, Laszo F. Foeldenyi offers a
mesmerizing examination of the rich history of European culture
through the lens of mythology and philosophy. Embracing the best
traditions of essay writing, this volume invites readers on a
spiritual and intellectual adventure. The seven essays bear
testimony to Foeldenyi's encyclopedic knowledge and ask whether it
is possible to overcome our fear of passing away. In doing so, they
illuminate moments of mystical experience viewed in a historical
perspective while inviting readers to engage with such moments in
the present by immersing themselves into the process of reading and
thinking. Rather than providing firm answers to burning questions,
The Glance of the Medusa highlights the limits of definition,
conjuring up situations in which Man partakes of unutterable
experiences-such as passion, pleasure, fear, poetry, or
disgust-suggesting that moments of ecstasy cannot be pinned down or
captured, only drawn a little closer.
