I Saw the World End


Book Description

Wagner's Ring has baffled and confused critics because of the highly complex meaning of its text and music. The diverse range of commentaries written on the subject since the first performance over one hundred years ago reveals just how little critics have understood The Ring. Deryck Cooke displays his masterly common sense in this study of how and why The Ring took the shape it did. This volume represents only a portion of the enormous book he had planned--his untimely death prevented him from writing a full analysis of the music. Even as it stands, I Saw The World End will give fresh understanding and appreciation to every lover of Wagner's music. -- PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION.




I Saw the World End


Book Description

"The turn of the millennium aroused widespread curiosity among churchgoers about the meaning of the Book of Revelation and its importance to their faith. I Saw the World End arises from a parish course developed by the author in response to this need. It contains all you need to know about these key points: the historical era from which apocalyptic literature emerged; the mythologies of the local cultures of the time; and extra-biblical apocalyptic writings, including the important Book of Enoch." "The author follows his review of the apocalyptic elements in the prophetic writings of scripture with a detailed discussion of the Book of Daniel. After explaining the apocalyptic images and discourses found in the Gospels and Epistles, he concludes with a detailed presentation of the Book of Revelation. Study questions at the end of each chapter make the book particularly suited to use as a text in parish, college, or seminary courses."--BOOK JACKET.

City at World's End


Book Description

"One moment Kensington was strolling down the quiet street, lost in pleasant reverie. The next moment the sky split open! It split wide open, and above them was a burn and a blaze of light--so swift, so violent, that the air itself seemed to have burst into flame. Then there was silence--awful, suffocating silence. Kensington felt the chill of premonition--a shapeless terror that grew into a thing too evil to be borne alone. This novel describes the shocking experience of a group of ordinary people, catapulted by a mysterious explosion into the terrifyingly strange world of a million years hence. It is not a prophecy--but a warning!"--Pg. [4] of cover.
