7457231The Magic Islandhttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-magic-island-9788028389222/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7056299/image.jpg?v=6388029084684000004343MXNSharp InkInStock/Ebooks/<p>In The Magic Island, William Seabrook embarks on an evocative exploration of the mystical and the macabre, chronicling his travels to Haiti in the 1920s. With a fervent narrative style that blends vivid descriptions with ethnographic detail, Seabrook delves into the practice of Vodou and the cultural tapestry of Haitian life, providing readers with an unsettling yet fascinating glimpse into a world steeped in both wonder and dread. His firsthand observations are intertwined with folkloric tales, creating a rich tapestry that captures the duality of life and death, belief and skepticism, all against the backdrop of a post-colonial Caribbean landscape. William Buehler Seabrook was an American travel writer and author renowned for his adventurous spirit and fascination with the occult. His exposure to various cultures and his own tumultuous experiences, including personal struggles with mental health, led him to seek refuge in the mysteries of Vodou. Seabrooks immersive approach to storytelling reflects his desire to understand the other and push the boundaries of conventional thought, establishing him as a pioneer of ethnographic literature in his time. The Magic Island is essential reading for those intrigued by the intersections of culture, spirituality, and the human psyche. Seabrooks candid narrative invites readers to question societal norms and confront their own preconceptions, while immersing them in the rich, enigmatic world of Haitian Vodou. This book offers not only a travelogue but also a profound meditation on belief and humanity, making it a compelling addition to both literary and anthropological studies.</p>...7083965The Magic Island4343https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-magic-island-9788028389222/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7056299/image.jpg?v=638802908468400000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259788028389222_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_<p>In The Magic Island, William Seabrook embarks on an evocative exploration of the mystical and the macabre, chronicling his travels to Haiti in the 1920s.
