  • Kaleidoscope One
    KALEIDOSCOPE ONE STEFAN ZWEIG Translated by Eden and Cedar Paul 1 CONTENTS AMOK - 3 THE BURNING SECRET - 36 MOONBEAM ALLEY - 74 TRANSFIGURATION - 84 FEAR - 112 THE FOWLER SNARED - 137 THE GOVERNESS - 143 2 AMOK IN March, 1912, when a big mail-boat was unloading at Naples, there was an accident about which extremely inaccurate reports appeared in the newspapers. I myself saw nothing of the affair, for (in common with many of the passengers), wishing to escape the noise and discomfort of coaling, I had gone to spend the evening ashore. As it happens, however, I am in a position to know what really occurred, and to explain the cause. So many years have now elapsed since the incidents about to be related, that there is no reason why I should not break the silence I have hitherto maintained. I had been traveling in the Federated Malay States. Recalled home by cable on urgent private affairs, I joined the Wotan at Singapore, and had to put up with very poor accommodation. My cabin was a hold of a place squeezed into a corner close to the engine-room, small, hot, and dark. The fusty, stagnant air reeked of oil. I had to keep the electric fan running, with the result that a fetid draught crawled over my face reminding me of the fluttering of a crazy bat. From beneath came the persistent rattle and groans of the engines, which sounded like a coal-porter tramping and wheezing as he climbed an unending flight of iron stairs; from above came the no less persistent tread of feet upon the promenade deck.

  • Ancient Narrative Volume 1
    Religious Narratives and Religious Themes in the Novels of Achilles Tatius and Heliodorus MARGARET EDSALL New York 1. Introduction The prominence of religious themes in the Greek novels has elicited a vari- ety of views about the relationship between the novel and religion:1 1) the novels are cult texts of mystery religions;2 2) particular cults indirectly influ- ence the novels;3 3) the novels are religious in a more general sense;4 4) reli- gious themes are a resource for narrative technique with no reference beyond the boundaries of fiction.5 Recently, Merkelbach and Bowersock have pro- posed that religious themes reflect the novel’s origin in religious narratives.6 Merkelbach concludes that religious themes reflect not only the novel’s symbolic meaning but also its origin in pagan aretalogies.7 Bowersock sug- gests that religious themes are inspired by Christian miracle narratives but the novel remains a “secular scripture.”8 Interestingly, each critic isolates a different type of religious narrative as the source of the novel’s origin but admits that other genres are at play. According to Fusillo, multiple hypothe- ses concerning literary influences may be plausibly advanced, since the novel seems to derive from the disintegration of previous literary forms.9 Thus, these conclusions raise a far different issue than they in fact address: ————— 1 Morgan 1996. 2 Kerenyi 1927; Merkelbach 1962. 3 Altheim 1948; Weinreich 1962; Griffiths 1978; Edwards 1985. 4 Beck 1996; Reardon 1969; Heiserman 1977; Hägg 1983. 5 Winkler 1980; 1982; Morgan 1978; 1996. 6 Merkelbach 1994; Bowersock 1994a. 7 Symbolic meaning: Merkelbach 1962; Origin in pagan aretalogy: Merkelbach 1994, 290.
