Welcome to the Morgana Press website, an award-winning Louisiana-based book publisher located in the heart of the historic French Quarter. Morgana Press supports the sustained renaissance, rebuilding and preservation of the Great American City of New Orleans. The company thanks the nation and others for the unbroken outreach of support in helping New Orleans toward recovery during this epic time in U.S. history. New Orleans IS America's most interesting and eccentric city. There has never been a place quite like it, and there never will be again. We look forward to preserving and sharing with the world the inimitable voices, visions, passions, imagery and stories of the people and places of New Orleans.
THE VIEUX CARRÉ
The historic French Quarter of New Orleans is a storied, weathered, melancholy place that inspires the mind, touches the heart and strengthens the spirit. Mysterious and vivid, it is a city that seduces all with a strange sense of downtrodden beauty, embellished and decayed, igniting deep feelings within and a strong connection to the past.
All those who love and treasure New Orleans already know, feel and understand the mysterious lush words, visions, images and feelings that Lafcadio Hearn captured and put to paper in 1878 and 1879 — in his eloquent works The Creole Sketches: The Glamour of New Orleans and A Creole Courtyard — as Hearn describes the ancient siren call of an intoxicating old city located at the bend in the Mississippi River.
Read Hearn’s timeless words from the nineteenth century that foretell of the powerful enchantment you, too, will come to see and know hidden within the pages of present-day Morgana Press title Orléans Embrace with The Secret Gardens of the Vieux Carré...
