Peter Nadas's vacuum cleaner

For centuries, resurrection from the dead was so unthinkable that most literary references were religious in kind, and objects were never mentioned, only plants (fleur-de-lis), animals (a butterfly, a phoenix), and occasionally food (the egg).

Presumably due to widespread access to health care and the introduction of clinical resuscitation, as well as an increased importance of objects ushered in by the industrial revolution, objects that help people overcome death started to appear in 20th century comics and juvenile fiction (e.g. Horcruxes or the Philosopher’s Stone in the Harry Potter series). But these can be described as objects aiding survival, rather than evidence of the characters’ return to life after having grappled with their own deaths.

This is why it’s worth talking about
