"The Mentalist's Handbook: An Explorer's Guide to Astral, Spirit, and Psychic Worlds" by Clint Marsh (high-quality reupload)

"There is a world that mirrors our own. Everything in this world is made of substance finer than air, finer than light, finer than thought itself - the aether. In the aether there are inner sensations such as ideas and feelings that are as tangible as anything in the material world. In The Mentalist's Handbook, Clint Marsh gives us a glimpse of the world. He offers step-by-step exercises, detailed and beautifully written explanations and definitions, and gorgeous black and white illustrations by award-winning artist Jeff Hoke. Inspired by esoteric, occult, and magic books published over the last 150 years, Marsh has aspired to create something of singular importance in the tradition of classic occult...>>

“Faust”, parts I and II by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (new translation by David Luke)

"Faust", parts I and II by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (new translation by David Luke)

"David Luke's recent translation, specially commissioned for The World's Classics series, has all the virtues of previous classic translations of Faust, and none of their shortcomings.

It is as near an `equivalent' rendering of the German as has been achieved."...>>

"Faust I & II - Updated Edition" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (translated by Stuart Atkins)

“Doctor Faustus – Second Edition” by Christopher Marlowe, ed. Michael Keefer

"Doctor Faustus – Second Edition" by Christopher Marlowe, ed. Michael Keefer

" Doctor Faustus is a classic; its imaginative boldness and vertiginous ironies have fascinated readers and playgoers alike. But the fact that this play exists in two early versions, printed in 1604 and 1616, has posed formidable problems for critics. How much of either version was written by Marlowe, and which is the more authentic? Is the play orthodox or radically interrogative? Michael Keefer’s early work helped to establish the current consensus that the 1604 text was censored and revised; the Keefer edition, praised for its lucid introduction and scholarship, was the first to restore two displaced scenes to their correct place. Most competing editions presume that the 1604 text was printed from authorial manuscript,...>>
