Vril: The Power of the Coming Race

Autor: Edward Bulwer Lytton

Número de Páginas: 137

I have spoken so much of the Vril Staff that my reader may expect me to describe it. This I cannot do accurately, for I was never allowed to handle it for fear of some terrible accident occasioned by my ignorance of its use; and I have no doubt that it requires much skill and practice in the exercise of its various powers. It is hollow, and has in the handle several stops, keys, or springs by which its force can be altered, modified, or directed-so that by one process it destroys, by another it heals-by one it can rend the rock, by another disperse the vapour-by one it affects bodies, by another it can exercise a certain influence over minds. It is usually carried in the convenient size of a walking-staff, but it has slides by which it can be lengthened or shortened at will. When used for special purposes, the upper part rests in the hollow of the palm with the fore and middle fingers protruded.

This early science fiction novel offers a fascinating vision of a shadowy underworld populated by strange and beautiful creatures who closely resemble the angels described in Christian lore.

Vril, the Power of the Coming Race

Autor: Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton, Baron , Edward George Earle Bulwer-lytton

Número de Páginas: 204

Bulwer-Lytton is legend nowadays for the qualities of his prose: but we find his prose attractive, in its languid way; and certainly the man was a profound thinker. Vril is a mysterious energy used by Lytton's subterranean race -- refugees from the deluge that submerged Atlantis -- to power their advanced civilization. Generations of occultists have mistaken this bit of business for something other than fiction; and still more generations of science fiction writers have recycled the novel's plot. Vril is a book of strong interest to anyone doing a scholarly study of the evolution of SF; it's also a novel well worth reading in its own right. (Jacketless library hardcover.)

The Coming Race by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. The Coming Race is a novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, published anonymously in 1871. It has also been published as Vril, the Power of the Coming Race. Some readers have believed the account of a superior subterranean master race and the energy-form called "Vril", at least in part; some theosophists, notably Helena Blavatsky, William Scott-Elliot, and Rudolf Steiner, accepted the book as based on occult truth, in part. One 1960 book, The Morning of the Magicians, suggested that a secret Vril Society existed in Weimar Berlin. However, there is no evidence for the existence of such a society.

Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton's cautionary tale of occult super-powers and advanced subterranean cultures have fascinated readers since 1871. Part early science-fiction, part educational tract, part occult romance, Vril keeps spellbinding readers thanks to its wide range of themes and emotions, as well as its thrilling sense of adventure.A curious man descends into a mountain through a mine and experiences far more than he bargained for. Deep inside the mountain lies a completely different world. Its inhabitants, the Vril-ya, are human-like but physically superior and philosophically more advanced. They live in harmony made possible by their wisdom but also by the powerful and potentially destructive magical energy they call "Vril."The impressed yet terrified visitor is allowed to stay and learn more about their ancient and advanced culture, something very few visitors have - it seems that all the previous adventurers have been mercilessly disposed of by the Vril-ya...This edition includes an introductory essay by Swedish author Carl Abrahamsson.Trapart Books, 2020. 6x9" paperback, 122 pages.

The novel centres on a young, independent, unnamed, wealthy traveller (the narrator), who visits a friend, a mining engineer. They explore a natural chasm in a mine which has been exposed by an exploratory shaft. The narrator reaches the bottom of the chasm safely, but the rope breaks and his friend is killed. The narrator finds his way into a subterranean world occupied by beings who seem to resemble angels. He befriends the first being he meets, who guides him around a city that is reminiscent of ancient Egyptian architecture. The explorer meets his host's wife, two sons and daughter who learn to speak English by way of a makeshift dictionary during which the narrator unconsciously teaches them the language. His guide comes towards him, and he and his daughter, Zee, explain who they are and how they function. The hero discovers that these beings, who call themselves Vril-ya, have great telepathic and other parapsychological abilities, such as being able to transmit information, get rid of pain, and put others to sleep. The narrator is offended by the idea that the Vril-ya are better adapted to learn about him than he is to learn about them. Nevertheless, the guide (who turns out ...

Full text. The Coming Race (also known as Vril, the Power of the Coming Race)is a powerful novel that fired the imagination of readers starting in the 1870's. Among the earliest examples of what would become the genre of science fiction, among many authors it influenced H. G. Wells, Samuel Butler, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. The book tells the story of a young American adventurer who discovers a portal to an underground world at the bottom of a mine shaft. In this world lives a highly advanced race, with a dark secret. Quote: Our public libraries contain all the books of the past which time has preserved; those books, for the reasons above stated, are infinitely better than any can write nowadays, and they are open to all to read without cost. We are not such fools as to pay for reading inferior books, when we can read superior books for nothing.

Tierra Hueca. Madre de todas las conspiraciones

Sucedió en 1823, cuando un tal James Cleves Symmes presentó una extraña propuesta al Congreso de los Estados Unidos con el fin de obtener fondos para financiar una expedición hacia el centro de la Tierra. Aquel deseo, que para muchos en su día fuera declarado de lo más descabellado, contagió luego su entusiasmo a una serie de estudiosos inconformistas, quienes, animados por esta osadía, decidieron dar a conocer sus hipótesis acerca de una Tierra hueca, realizando publicaciones sorprendentes en un claro desafío a la ciencia ortodoxa, observadora horrorizada ante estos arrebatos intelectuales. Transcurrido más de un siglo desde aquel anuncio esbozado por Symmes, la leyenda de un planeta hueco continuó fascinando a distintas generaciones, siendo en la actualidad internet su defensora más acérrima, con miles de páginas entregadas a esta visión. La intriga ante esta devoción rayana en el fanatismo más absurdo llevó a esta escritora a sumergirse en el mundo de las conspiraciones, para tratar de entender los motivos que alimentan el mito sobre la hipotética existencia de una Tierra interna oculta dentro del planeta ¿Existe una Tierra hueca negada por los gobiernos?...

The Coming Race is a science fiction novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. The novel centers on a young, independently wealthy traveler who accidentally finds his way into a subterranean world occupied by beings who seem to resemble angels and call themselves Vril-ya. The hero soon discovers that the Vril-ya are descendants of an antediluvian civilization who live in networks of subterranean caverns linked by tunnels. It is a technologically supported Utopia, chief among their tools being the "all-permeating fluid" called "Vril", a latent source of energy which his spiritually elevated hosts are able to master through training of their will, to a degree which depends upon their hereditary constitution, giving them access to an extraordinary force that can be controlled at will. The powers of the will include the ability to heal, change, and destroy beings and things. The Vril-ya will run out of habitable spaces underground and start claiming the surface of the Earth, destroying mankind in the process if necessary.

- A Victorian science fiction novel, in a utopian world hidden inside the earth. - It tells the story of a desultory wanderer who descends into a mine and finds himself in a cavernous world occupied by a graceful and advanced race who have achieved the mastery over the mysterious Vril. In order to control Vril, technology on itself is not enough, a human needs to develop a special nerve just to be able to operate the machines that command Vril, this unification of technology development with biological, mental and even spiritual advance has given Vril a special attention in esoteric circles, but if Bulwer Lytton came to this concept at his esoteric studies or just as a rather practical solution to the conflict of machines replacing men, (why not both?) is just speculations.-Truth is that "Vril, The Power of the Coming Race" a.k.a. "The Coming race" remains as a profound, and at the same time, entertaining adventure/romance story in a utopian world, often spiced with plain satire, I'm sure you will enjoy it as your ideals and passions are turned on, on time, by this fantastic narrative.-This edition includes a small 7 pages introduction and glossary to the Vril-ya language made...

Jack Kirby. El cuarto demiurgo

Autor: José Manuel Uría

Número de Páginas: 237

Jack Kirby creó, junto con Stan Lee, una de las más importantes mitologías populares del pasado siglo: el Universo Marvel. Fue responsable, no solo del aspecto visual de los personajes, sino a menudo de los argumentos y de buena parte de las ideas e innovaciones temácticas de esos primeros años de Marvel. Posteriormente, ya en solitario, se reinventaría como autor completo en sus creaciones del Cuarto Mundo para DC comics. Fue Stan Lee quien lo apodó «el Rey»; y no es exagerado. Su influencia en el medio del comic-book es inmensa y se percibe incluso en autores tan alejados de su estética y temática como puede ser el francés Moebius. * * * En este ensayo José Manuel Uría repasa la carrera del «Rey» Kirby centrándose en los aspectos quizá menos tratados de su obra: su labor como creador secundario, como demiurgo, no de uno sino de varios universos, y las lecturas metafísicas y mitológicas que se derivan de ello. Con rigor y de forma exhaustiva, se repasan los puntos principales de su carrera y se nos muestran algunas de sus facetas menos conocidas.

La Ciudad de la Llama Azul

Autor: Sebastiano De Filippi

Número de Páginas: 303

La Ciudad de la Llama Azul. Luces y sombras sobre el cerro Uritorco es el primer libro que narra la verdadera historia de Ángel Cristo Acoglanis ("Saruma"), un personaje esquivo que desde 1983 hasta su muerte contactó a centenares de personas para instruirlas en su particular doctrina esotérica. Sus discípulos eran posteriormente invitados a solitarias alturas montañosas, desde las cuales podían verse luces nocturnas que parecían responder a sus invocaciones. Nació así la historia de Erks, una especie de Shambhala argentina, ubicada en las cercanías del cerro Uritorco. En esta obra se revelan finalmente la verdadera naturaleza y la ubicación exacta de Erks, y por primera vez se publican los mantras secretos que Acoglanis utilizaba durante las ceremonias en las cuales –a decir de muchos– sucedía lo imposible y la Ciudad de la Llama Azul se manifestaba en todo su esplendor.
