Faith of Tarot (Tarot, #3)

By Piers Anthony

Book Overview

Thomas Carlyle (17951881) was one of the most influential authors of the nineteenth century. Eagerly studied at the highest level of intellectual society, his satirical essays and perceptive historical biographies caused him to be regarded for much of the Victorian period as a literary genius and eminent social philosopher. After graduating from Edinburgh University in 1814, he published his first scholarly work on German literature in 1824, before finding literary success with his ground-breaking history of the French Revolution in 1837. After falling from favour during the first part of the twentieth century, his work has more recently become the subject of scholarly re-examination. His introduction of German literature and philosophy into the British intellectual milieu profoundly influenced later philosophical ideas and literary studies. These volumes are reproduced from the 1896 Centenary Edition of his collected works. Volume 5 contains his historical study on heroes and hero-worship.

Customer Reviews

This book is awesome!

I'm half way threw the second one. This is a good series for learning about religions. It really gets down to the point of meaning. Why we're here without any religious garbage.

Another grouping of Anthony's best

I read the Tarot series only knowing it was by my favorite author. Piers Anthony has a way of making the reader think....especially concerning long taught ways in our social upbringing. He has made me ponder the meanings of religion (formed and free spirited) on more than one occasion. His hero, Brother Paul, is the epitome of man. Bravo, Anthony!!! You should add more to this series on the world of Tarot.
