James Hogg


Book Description

James Hogg, a Scottish writer, was the founder of the psychological novel. He perfectly understood the notions of dream and reality, the danger of the voyage in "Nancy Chilshom", the world of the illusions, the lure, madness and strangeness towards the reality of the tragedy, the kingdom of the fairies, death, the finality of art, the supernatural, the Devil and sorcery in Scotland, the Scotland-England couple: the female nation and the male devastator, the carnival of the masks and the reality of his Masonic initiation at the end of his life.




Introduction to Brownie (folklore)


Book Description

Brownie is a household spirit in English and Scottish folklore who is believed to help with household chores if satisfied with food or small gifts. Brownies were first mentioned in Scottish folk tales during the 16th century as small creatures with brown hair and clothing who inhabited houses and performed helpful tasks, such as mending clothes or preparing meals. They were said to be very shy and rarely seen by humans, but their presence could be felt through the completion of tasks left unfinished by household members. Over time, the depiction of brownies in folklore evolved to include magical abilities and a mischievous nature. It was believed they could cause harm to humans if displeased, but they could also use their powers to bring good fortune. The superstition surrounding brownies has become less prominent in modern times, but the concept of small household spirits who provide assistance still persists in various cultures around the world.
