Sinossi
Nel XX secolo, il rituale di esorcismo cattolico romano, vecchio di secoli, per combattere la possessione demoniaca, era praticamente morto, sviscerato dall'ascesa della scienza moderna e del razionalismo. Ma il romanzo del 1962 di Ray Russell, The Case Against Satan, ha preparato il terreno per una proliferazione di esorcismi su carta, sullo schermo e persino, bizzarramente, nella vita reale. Solo poche settimane fa, Susan Garth era ''una bravissima ragazza, una ragazzina dolce e pulita'' in età da liceo. Ma questo è stato prima che iniziasse ad avere ''crisi'': un'improvvisa avversione per le chiese e una nuova passione per la volgarità. Se non follia, allora la risposta deve essere la possessione demoniaca, per la quale esiste una sola risposta: l'esorcismo.

Paperback. Condizione: New. By the 20th century, the centuries-old Roman Catholic exorcism ritual for combatting demonic possession was all but dead, eviscerated by the ascent of modern science and rationalism. But Ray Russell's 1962 novel, The Case Against Satan, set the stage for a proliferation of exorcisms on page, screen, and even bizarrely, in real life.Just a few weeks ago, Susan Garth was "a very good girl, a clean-talking sweet little girl" of high school age. But that was before she started having "fits"-a sudden aversion to churches and a newfound fondness for vulgarity. If not madness, then the answer must be demonic possession, for which there is only one response: exorcism. Codice articolo LU-9780143107279

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Before The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby, there was The Case Against SatanBefore The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby, there was The Case Against SatanBy the twentieth century, the exorcism had all but vanished, wiped out by modern science and psychology. But Ray Russell-praised by Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro as a sophisticated practitioner of Gothic fiction-resurrected the ritual with his classic 1962 horror novel, The Case AgainstSatan, giving new rise to the exorcism on page, screen, and even in real life.Teenager Susan Garth was "a clean-talking sweet little girl" of high school age before she started having "fits"-a sudden aversion to churches and a newfound fondness for vulgarity. Then one night, she strips in front of the parish priest and sinks her nails into his throat. If not madness, then the answer must be demonic possession. To vanquish the Devil, Bishop Crimmings recruits Father Gregory Sargent, a younger priest with a taste for modern ideas and brandy.As the two men fight not just the darkness tormenting Susan but also one another, a soul-chilling revelation lurks in the shadows-one that knows that the darkest evil goes by many names.For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
