Herbie and Violet's fifth gripping adventure brings the
internationally bestselling Eerie-on-Sea series to a heart-stopping
climax. It is midwinter once again, and the hosts of a paranormal
podcast have descended on Eerie-on-Sea eager for a sighting of the
legendary malamander. Herbert Lemon, Lost-and-Founder at the Grand
Nautilus Hotel, is feeling uneasy – and not just because of the
visitors. He’s being plagued by unsettling dreams, and the
head-splitting “Eerie Hum” that is reverberating through the
town. Something is dreadfully wrong, and it seems to be coming from
Eerie's very core. Herbie and his friend Violet Parma will need all
their courage as they head deep below the town to seek answers.
Perhaps here, finally, they – and the malamander too – will
discover the Deepest Secret of Eerie-on-Sea.

The Syrian philosopher Iamblichus is famous for his accounts of
ancient religious traditions: this book contains Thomas Taylor's
translations of his commentaries regarding Egypt, Assyria and
Chaldea. Containing many references to the mystical philosophies of
the ancients, Iamblichus' writings are considered early accounts of
theurgic traditions for their description of magical rituals and
ceremonies. His descriptions hold clues to the origins and
development of religious thought - particularly pagan ideas
regarding burial, the afterlife, and the transition of the soul
from matter to spirit. Taylor is keen to replicate the veneration
and respect which Iamblichus had for earlier traditions: both
author and translator share a devotion to Neoplatonist thought, and
it is in the spirit of these philosophical ideas that these
insights upon antiquity are presented in English.
The idea of universalism inherited from the French Revolution has
been strongly discredited by its colonial history; today, it is
also the target of nationalist attacks. What remains of it? Now
available in English, Markus Messling's critically acclaimed study
shows how contemporary Francophone literatures seek, after European
universalism, approaches to a new universality, without which
knowledge and justice cannot be organised in world society. With a
foreword by Souleymane Bachir Diagne
