Since
the
days
of
antiquity
people
have
been
fascinated
with
angels,
those
ethereal
beings
who
are
said
to
hover
between
heaven
and
earth
watching
over
us
to
intercede
in
the
age-old
struggle
of
good
versus
evil
An
Anthology
of
Angels
is
a
collection
of
seventeen
stories
by
well-known
writers
who
tell
of
winged
messengers
and
their
mysterious,
magical,
and
sometimes
startling
encounters
on
earth.
Several
of
the
stories
take
place
in
contemporary
settings,
where
the
gritty
realities
of
life
would
seem
to
negate
the
very
existence
of
these
heavenly
creatures.
Included
here
are
many
traditional
angels,
guardian
angels,
fallen
angels,
as
well
as
angels
who
seem
the
most
unlikely
messengers
of
God
There
are
many
touching
stories
by
such
great
writers
as
Bernard
Malamud,
who
in
"Angel
Levine"
tells
how
a
man's
faith
is
tested
when
he
is
confronted
by
an
unusual
angeI.
In
Jane
Yolen's
startling
tale
"Angelica,"
a
small
boy's
encounter
with
an
angel,
forever
alters
the
course
of
history.
Included,
too,
is
Robert
Silverberg's
"Basileus,"
in
which
fallen
angels
and
computer
technology
are
unwittingly
brought
together
with
chilling
results.
There
are
also
angelic
selections
by
Mark
Twain,
Stephen
Vincent
Benet,
Howard
Fast,
Robert
Sampson,
Kate
Wilhelm,
Isaac
Asimov,
and
Leo
Tolstoy
An
Anthology
of
Angels
will
surely
inspire
readers
with
its
thoughtful,
poignant,
and
at
times
bittersweet
stories
of
those
heavenly
spirits
sent
to
guide
and
comfort
us
on
our
journey
through
life
