Joseph Pearce

Fiction

“This book walks into the night, stepping behind the silver screen to the delusional twilight zone between hell and Hollywood, where dreams become nightmares; yet it also walks into the light at the end of the tunnel, where the lie of the silver screen makes way for the truth of the silver lining.”

Tolkien’s Mythic Meaning

Arts & Literature

“Great works of literature are alive. This is why they speak to us in new ways when we return to them. Few great works of literature are more alive than The Lord of the Rings. Gervel’s book allows us to see and experience the life of Tolkien’s masterpiece in ways that will enrich our own lives and perhaps even transform us into the fully alive beings that we are called to be.”

Toward the Gleam

Fiction

“The works of Tolkien and Lewis continue to inspire new generations of writers, most of whom are not worthy to bask in the reflected glory of their mentors. T. M. Doran is a noble and notable exception. Towards the Gleam rises above the level of parody or pastiche to reach the heights that few writers have achieved. Although it basks in the reflected glory of The Lord of the Rings and conveys inklings of That Hideous Strength, it does not merely reflect the light that Tolkien and Lewis have shone; it refracts it in exciting new directions, toward the gleam of the glorious light that is the source of all great literature.”

Translations

Arts & Literature

“David Lyle Jeffrey has one of the most eloquent and penetrating voices in contemporary poetry. The erudition and wisdom of this singular voice permeate every line of the verse.”

Writing That Makes Sense, 2nd Edition

“Classical education begins with the teaching of grammar, logic, and rhetoric, the three disciplines known collectively as the trivium. Professor Hogsette employs his own command of these disciplines to help students understand what they read and to communicate that understanding effectively to others. There is a right way to write and Writing That Makes Sense gets it right.”
