Anthropologist Elizabeth A. Povinelli theorizes intimate relations as sites which bring into view the interplay between liberalism's contradictory ideals of freedom and constraint.
In a simple and compelling writing, the author recreates life in Ancient Egypt when the empire was at its peak. The plot interweaves the Temple´s way of life with betrayals, power struggles, true love, good humor and the wisdom of the Masters. Over the centuries humanity has missed the true spirit of the Egyptian auto-deism concepts, until the present time when our perception has grown to a new level of understanding. Now, in a fantastic journey, the author offers a view of Ancient Egypt, a melange of traditions overlaid with legend, folklore, religious ceremony and natural beauty, to meet the emerging need of the present Age of Aquarius. Through the pages of The Empire of Love the reader will be confronted with different levels of being and parallel realities, experiencing a new dimension foreign to time and space. The plot takes place during the social "revolution" of the 60´s, when Karl, (the main character) feels outcast among his own society and searching for an answer to his growing longing, he leaves New York City in search of that "truth" that he knew was out there. After long hours of a lonely driving through the inter-state highways, he reaches Arizona and overcome by exhaustion he decides to stop and rest for a while. Sitting on a high cliff close to the road, Karl falls asleep and, without any warning, he awakes on the high summit of the Amenti in ancient Egypt, 3,000 years back in time. Karl meets several characters that help to create a gradual awakening that adds more confusion to his perception of reality. A dual feeling of happiness and fear takes place with each incident that evokes subconscious memories that he could not identify. Everything becomes familiar and foreign at the same time The dialogues in the first part of the novel are filled with intense emotion and the teachings of the temple. Karl begins to forget the nostalgic feelings for his American way of life, his beloved XX century fades in his memory and he becomes immersed in the new experience imposed on him by destiny. With the help of the temple´s masters, Karl is induced into a deep hypnotic trance and he relives a previous incarnation in ancient Egypt, as Aum a young temple initiate. During this incarnation Aum (Karl) becomes a master at the temple of Heliopolis. The successive events will bring Karl to a full awakening when different aspects of the Egyptian philosophy are incorporated into the drama, to conclude with the self-awareness and realization of his mission among men.
In the history of the last two thousand years there is but one Person who has been, and is supremely loved. Many have been loved by individuals, by groups of persons, or by communities; some have received the pliant idolatries of nations, such as heroes and national deliverers; but in every instance the sense of love thus excited has been intimately associated with some triumph of intellect, or some resounding achievement in the world of action. In this there is nothing unusual, for man is a natural worshipper of heroes. But in Jesus Christ we discover something very different; He possessed the genius to be loved in so transcendent a degree that it appears His sole genius. Jesus is loved not for anything that He taught, nor yet wholly for anything that He did, although His actions culminate in the divine fascination of the Cross, but rather for what He was in Himself. His very name provokes in countless millions a reverent tenderness of emotion usually associated only with the most sacred and intimate of human relationships. He is loved with a certain purity and intensity of passion that transcends even the most intimate expressions of human emotion. The curious thing is that He Himself anticipated this kind of love as His eternal heritage with men. He expected that men would love Him more than father or mother, wife or child, and even made such a love a condition of what He called discipleship. The greatest marvel of all human history is that this prognostication has been strictly verified in the event. He is the Supreme Lover, for whose love, unrealizable as it is by touch, or glance, or spoken word, or momentary presence, men and women are still willing to sacrifice themselves, and surrender all things. The pregnant words of Napoleon, uttered in his last lonely reveries in St. Helena, still express the strangest thing in universal history: "Caesar, Charlemagne, I, have founded empires. They were founded on force, and have perished. Jesus Christ has founded an empire on love, and to this day there are millions ready to die for Him." Napoleon felt the wonder of it all, the baffling, inexplicable marvel. Were we able to detach ourselves enough from use and custom, to survey the movement of human thought from some lonely height above the floods of Time, as Napoleon in the high sea-silences of St. Helena, we also might feel the wonder of this most wonderful thing the world has ever known.
“Deftly written, gripping and informative. Empire of Wild is a rip-roaring read!”—Margaret Atwood, From Instagram “Empire of Wild is doing everything I love in a contemporary novel and more. It is tough, funny, beautiful, honest and propulsive—all the while telling a story that needs to be told by a person who needs to be telling it.”—Tommy Orange, author of There There A bold and brilliant new indigenous voice in contemporary literature makes her American debut with this kinetic, imaginative, and sensuous fable inspired by the traditional Canadian Métis legend of the Rogarou—a werewolf-like creature that haunts the roads and woods of native people’s communities. Joan has been searching for her missing husband, Victor, for nearly a year—ever since that terrible night they’d had their first serious argument hours before he mysteriously vanished. Her Métis family has lived in their tightly knit rural community for generations, but no one keeps the old ways . . . until they have to. That moment has arrived for Joan. One morning, grieving and severely hungover, Joan hears a shocking sound coming from inside a revival tent in a gritty Walmart parking lot. It is the unmistakable voice of Victor. Drawn inside, she sees him. He has the same face, the same eyes, the same hands, though his hair is much shorter and he's wearing a suit. But he doesn't seem to recognize Joan at all. He insists his name is Eugene Wolff, and that he is a reverend whose mission is to spread the word of Jesus and grow His flock. Yet Joan suspects there is something dark and terrifying within this charismatic preacher who professes to be a man of God . . . something old and very dangerous. Joan turns to Ajean, an elderly foul-mouthed card shark who is one of the few among her community steeped in the traditions of her people and knowledgeable about their ancient enemies. With the help of the old Métis and her peculiar Johnny-Cash-loving, twelve-year-old nephew Zeus, Joan must find a way to uncover the truth and remind Reverend Wolff who he really is . . . if he really is. Her life, and those of everyone she loves, depends upon it.
