| Abstract | "From one of the most-read religious and philosophical scholars in the United States comes a collection of creative, thought-provoking fables. In Prisims, Veils: A Book of Fables, David Bentley Hart explores the elusive nature of dreams and the enduring power of mythologies. Moving over themes ranging from the beauty of the natural world to the very nature of consciousness itself, each narrative is threaded through with Hart's deep religious, cultural, and historical knowledge, drawing readers into an expertly woven tapestry of diverse allusions and deep meaning. Prisms, Veils will appeal to fans of Hart's work, philosophers, theologians, and general readers of fiction. The collection affords a special opportunity to engage with the creative side of Hart, its pages sparkling with bright gems of short fiction that are enchanting, engrossing, and imbued with spiritual truth."--from publisher |
