Pittsburgh native Ed Simon is making a triumphant return to Riverstone Books, located at 5841 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15217, to mark the launch of his highly anticipated new book, Elysium: A Visual History of Angelology. Renowned for his previous work, The Alternative History of Pittsburgh, as well as his numerous contributions to the field of cultural criticism, Simon's latest offering delves into the enigmatic realm of angels. In Elysium, he explores the enduring presence of angels in the religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, shedding light on the profound and often awe-inspiring encounters between humans and these celestial beings. While popular culture often portrays angels in a simplistic and sentimental manner, Simon's book presents a more nuanced perspective, capturing the essence of their transcendent nature and the profound impact they have on our understanding of existence. Building on the success of his previous book, Pandemonium: A Visual History of Demonology, Elysium delves into the angelic hierarchies and individual archangels that have shaped Western mythology. As a respected writer for esteemed literary platforms such as The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The Washington Post, Simon's expertise in English literature and religious studies ensures that even complex subjects are presented in an accessible and engaging manner. Join us for this momentous event on October 17, 2023, at Riverstone Books, where Ed Simon will share insights into the captivating world of angels. This book launch is free to attend, offering an opportunity to immerse yourself in the fascinating realm of Elysium. Don't miss out on this remarkable occasion to discover a visual history that will forever change your perception of angelology. Order your copy of Elysium now and embark on a journey like no other.

A majestic tower in Pittsburgh that defines the city. It stands tall and magnificent in its glory.

Cathedral of Learning

In fact, this place has nothing to do with the church, or we can only say that its appearance is like an ancient European cathedral. This is a teaching building, but it is very magnificent and beautiful, and you can go in and take a look inside.

Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

Stunning grounds and an incredible selection to view. Easily one of my favourite places to visit in Pittsburgh. The gift shop offers a lot, and the food and drinks selection in the cafe were great, even with special dietary requirements.
