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.

When Herbie and Violet's arch-enemy Sebastian Eels turns up in
Eerie-on-Sea, seemingly back from the dead, it can only spell bad
news. The town may welcome his entrepreneurial scheme to resurrect
Festergrimm's Waxworks, a dusty and defunct old gallery of spooky
characters from Eerie legend, but Herbie and Violet are suspicious
of his motives. And when they learn the legend of Ludo Festergrimm
the clockmaker, creator of a vast mechanical robot that wrought
havoc in the wrong hands, they KNOW they're on the right track. But
how can they get the residents of Eerie-on-Sea to believe them?

Nobody visits Eerie-on-Sea in the winter. Especially not when darkness falls and the wind howls around Maw Rocks and the wreck of the battleship Leviathan, where even now some swear they have seen the unctuous Malamander creep...
Herbert Lemon, Lost-and-Founder at the Grand Nautilus Hotel, knows that returning lost things to their rightful owners is not easy – especially when the lost thing is not a thing at all, but a girl. No one knows what happened to Violet Parma’s parents twelve years ago, and when she engages Herbie to help her find them, the pair discover that their disappearance might have something to do with the legendary sea-monster, the Malamander. Eerie-on-Sea has always been a mysteriously chilling place, where strange stories seem to wash up. And it just got stranger...

There's a storm raging in Eerie-on-Sea. Has the mighty Gargantis come back from the deep...?
When an ancient bottle is found washed up on the beach after a ferocious electrical storm, all the residents of Eerie-on-Sea seem to want it ... but should they in fact fear it? Legend has it that the bottle contains an extraordinary secret that spells doom for the whole of Eerie-on-Sea. Could it be true that the vast sea creature Gargantis has awoken from her slumbers, and is causing the large cracks that are appearing all across the town? Finding themselves entrusted with the bottle, Herbie and Violet discover they will need to ride the terrible storm and pacify the creature if they want to save Eerie-on-Sea from sliding into the ocean and being lost for ever.
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

How does the entrance of a character on the tragic stage affect
their visibility and presence? Beginning with the court culture of
the seventeenth century and ending with Nietzsche's Dionysian
theater, this monograph explores specific modes of entering the
stage and the conditions that make them successful-or cause them to
fail. The study argues that tragic entrances ultimately always
remain incomplete; that the step figures take into visibility
invariably remains precarious. Through close readings of texts by
Racine, Goethe, and Kleist, among others, it shows that entrances
promise both triumph and tragic exposure; though they appear to be
expressions of sovereignty, they are always simultaneously
threatened by failure or annihilation. With this analysis, the book
thus opens up possibilities for a new theory of dramatic form, one
that begins not with the plot itself but with the stage entrance
that structures how characters appear and thus determines how the
plot advances. By reflecting on acts of entering, this book
addresses not only scholars of literature, theater, media, and art
but anyone concerned with what it means to appear and be present.

From the turn of the twentieth century to the 1950s, a group of
transgender people on both sides of the Atlantic created
communities that profoundly shaped the history and study of
sexuality. By exchanging letters and pictures among themselves they
established private networks of affirmation and trust, and by
submitting their stories and photographs to medical journals and
popular magazines they sought to educate both doctors and the
public. Others of My Kind draws on archives in Europe and North
America to tell the story of this remarkable transatlantic
transgender community. This book uncovers threads of connection
between Germany, the United States, and the Netherlands to discover
the people who influenced the work of authorities like Magnus
Hirschfeld, Harry Benjamin, and Alfred Kinsey not only with their
clinical presentations, but also with their personal relationships.
It explores the ethical and analytical challenges that come with
the study of what was once private, secret, or unacceptable to say.
With more than 170 colour and black and white illustrations,
including many stunning, previously unpublished photographs, Others
of My Kind celebrates the faces, lives, and personal networks of
those who drove twentieth-century transgender history.
Dan can see ghosts. See then, speak to them, and sometimes help
them...for a price. In his second adventure, Dan is on a school
trip to France when he gets mixed up in skulduggery down in the
Paris catacombs. Can Dan save the living, help the unquiet dead,
avoid getting himself killed - and do it all under the eye of an
enraged French teacher? Brilliantly dark humour.

This volume makes available to the modern reader selected writings
of Thomas Taylor, the eighteenth-century English Platonist. TO
Taylor we are indebted for the first full translation into English
of Plato and Aristotle. Platonism, as Taylor saw it, was an
informing principle, transmitted through a "golden chain of
philosophers," a doctrine received by Socrates and Plato from the
Orphic and Pythagorean past and transmitted to the future. It
emerged again and again, enriched in the School of Alexandria, in
Renaissance art, in the works of Spenser, Shelley, Yeats. Kathleen
Raine is well known as a poet. GEorge Mills Harper is Professor of
English, University of Florida. Bollingen Series LXXXVIII.
Originally published in 1969. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the
latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.

This is Thomas Taylor's brilliant inquiry into the mysteries that
were central to religious life and society of ancient Greece and
even Rome. The inner teachings of these Mediterranean mystery
religions were lost with the ascent of Christianity, but Taylor
found the skeleton key to unlock their secrets and give us insight
into what people believed and what moved their lives. The
Eleusinian Mysteries were the ones of greatest importance. They go
back to an old agrarian cult and were possibly influenced by
Egyptian and even Indian religion. These observances once
represented the spiritual life of Greece, and were considered for
two thousand years and more the appointed means for regeneration
through an interior union with the Divine Essence. However absurd,
or even offensive they may seem to us, we should therefore hesitate
long before we venture to lay desecrating hands on what others have
esteemed holy. We can learn a valuable lesson in this regard from
the Grecian and Roman writers, who had learned to treat the popular
religious rites with mirth, but always considered the Eleusinian
Mysteries with the deepest reverence. A pukka classic from
