Jadi, untuk minggu ini, buku yang saya inginkan adalah:
Dictionary of Demonology (Dictionnaire Infernal)
by: Collin de Plancy
Sinopsis dari Goodreads:
Collin de Plancy's predilection for the irrational, the harrowing, and the pathetic gives him a singular place in the genesis of one element of Romanticism. Published in the 19th century, this dictionary became somewhat of a standard reference book for countless Romantic writers (notably, Victor Hugo) who dwelt in their work on the darker sides of human nature. It is a compendium of fact and fancy, with the emphasis on legend. Much of the material contained in the dictionary was the source of the peculiar literary genre known as "Gothic tale," a style of narrative that is by no means lacking in popularity today.
Iya, judulnya memang agak seram. Ini karya salah seorang penulis Perancis terkenal yang menulis kisah tentang berbagai iblis dan menyertakan gambar ilustrasinya. Saya kepengin baca setelah buku ini beberapa kali disebut-sebut di blog super keren Deities Daily.
Itu buku pilihan saya minggu ini. Apa pilihanmu?
