VALIS

Deze serie duikt diep in diepgaande metafysische vragen over de aard van de werkelijkheid, het bestaan en spiritueel inzicht. De verhalen verkennen ervaringen die grenzen aan religieuze openbaringen, en onderzoeken wat zich achter de sluier van onze waargenomen wereld bevindt. Lezers zullen gefascineerd raken door de ingewikkelde mix van theologische mysteries, filosofische naspeuringen en onvergetelijke, vaak humoristische portretten van het leven. Het is een literaire reis die de perceptie van het transcendente in ons dagelijks bestaan uitdaagt.

  1. 1

    Disorienting and bleakly funny work about the hidden mysteries of Gnostic Christianity. In VALIS (an acronym for the Vast Active Living Intelligence System), a schizophrenic hero named Horselover Fat is suddenly given a wildly different view of reality through the beam of a pink laser.

    What if God--or a being called Yah--were alive and in exile on a distant planet? How could a second coming succeed against the high technology and finely tuned rationalized evil of the modern police state? --P. [4] of cover

    The Divine Invasion
  3. 3

    The Transmigration of Timothy Archer, the final novel in the trilogy that also includes Valis and The Divine Invasion, is an anguished, learned, and very moving investigation of the paradoxes of belief. It is the story of Timothy Archer, an urbane Episcopal bishop haunted by the suicides of his son and mistress--and driven by them into a bizarre quest for the identity of Christ.
