ROGER LEWIS

El presente volumen nos ofrece dos obras que tienen un sólido nexo entre sí.La primera, AURAS, es la última obra que Edgar Cayce escribió de su puño y letra. Para Cayce, el aura es un efecto, no una causa, y por medio de sus vibraciones, cada atomo o molecula revelan su propia historia, su patron y su proposito. Pero, sobre todo, el aura refleja las vibraciones del alma.En esta obra, de modo claro y conciso, Cayce revela la sintesis de sus estudios acerca del aura y, particularmente, del significado de los colores que la componen, resumido todo ello en un sistema elaborado que pudo corroborar posteriormente.En EL COLOR Y LAS LECTURAS DE EDGAR CAYCE, Roger Lewis combina artisticamente los enfoques sobre el simbolismo que encierran los colores. Elaborado a partir del trabajo de Edgar Cayce en AURAS, y con las observaciones de Faber Birren (reputado especialista en el campo del color), propone un analisis cientifico del color y de la interpretacion del mismo. Esta la realizaba Cayce en estado consciente, considerando el color fisica, mental y espiritualmente en una armoniosa fusion.EDGAR CAYCE nacio en Hopkinsville (Kentucky, Estados Unidos), en el seno de una familia humilde. Hombre religioso, amable, servicial y de agradable sonrisa, fue uno de los mas espectaculares y mejor documentados psiquicos de todos los tiempos.Durante cuarenta y tres años, efectuo lecturas en un estado de trance autoinducido, entrando en contacto con su mente subconsciente, lo que le permitio ayudar a miles de seres que venian a visitarlo desde todos los confines.Su fama se extendio por todo Estados Unidos y Canada, y murio a los sesenta y ocho años de edad en un pueblecito de Virginia Beach.

This biography is the culmination and distillation of 20 years'' work on Anthony Burgess (1917-1993), the author who remains best known for "A Clockwork Orange", the source for Stanley Kubrick''s classic film. Yet Burgess was the author of over 60 books, ranging from airport blockbusters to a history of the stagecoach, from brilliant studies of Joyce, Shakespeare, Hemingway and D.H. Lawrence, to meditations on music and pot-boilers on beds and pornography. When he died, he left approximately three million dollars in the bank and ten or so houses or apartments scattered across Europe. Burgess, argues Roger Lewis, was the writer as faker and prankster who lived, like an actor, by deception and illusion. Tracking his quarry from Manchester to Malaya to Malta to Monte Carlo, Lewis assesses Burgess''s struggles and grudges and uncovers the webs of truth and lies.Thi s biography is populated with a cast of drunks, nymphomaniacs, egotists, famous 20th-century authors, and actors.

A fascinating tragic and instructive story vividly told Sunday Telegraph Roger Lewis in his no holds barred biography exposes a Peter Sellers the world little knows Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin Sellers was the grand master of fifty five films from Dr Strangelove to Being There and the Pink Panther hits But shadowing his phenomenal career was a history of increasingly bizarre behaviour involving psychotic violence compulsive promiscuity drug abuse and humiliating self destructive obsessions with people including Princess Margaret Sophia Loren Liza Minnelli and each of his four wives Ann Hayes Britt Ekland Miranda Quarry and Lynne Frederick He alternately showered his wives and children with gifts and then threatened to kill them Sellers fluidity as an actor made for a terrifying madness that grew like a slow metastasizing cancer throughout his adult life The Life and Death of Peter Sellers concludes with his premature death at the age of 54 sick at heart and alone in those sunless hotel rooms so recoiled from intimacy that no one really knew him anymore PRAISE FOR THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS It is a mad book but then the subject is a madman I love Lewis s passion I recommend it Sunday

ONE OF THE GREAT READING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE' MARINA HYDEA TOP 25 BEST BOOK OF 2023 (INDEPENDENT)Thirteen years in the writing, Erotic Vagrancy doesn't only surpass every other biography of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton yet to appear, this rich, vital and passionately articulated book, which is as extravagant and wayward as its two subjects, is also about celebrity, creativity, being flawed, being brilliant, sexuality, the intermingling of a low and a highbrow existence, pride, insecurity, attraction and repulsion, and devilry. We see Taylor the child actress exchanging dogs and horses for husbands. We see Burton emerging from the mists and brimstone of Wales to be the greatest theatrical animal of his generation.The pair come together in Rome during the making of Cleopatra, which gives Lewis the opportunity for a major farcical set-piece. We then enter a world of jewels and private jets, vodka, yachts and furs - the splendid vulgarity of the Sixties, where the narrative of Taylor and Burton becomes a Pop Art story. Then, inevitably, it all goes wrong, with alcoholism, violence, recrimination and divorce ( twice ) - with Burton, whom Lewis depicts as a Faustus figure, damned by fame, dead at fifty-eight.Stephen Fry has said, 'It is one of the very best biographies I have ever read. One of the best books about fame, desire, Hollywood and mid-to-late twentieth century culture ever written. Inside which, brilliant, hilarious and sensitive insights on all manner of subjects fizz and froth.Magnificent, terrible, tragic, triumphant.'
