Letters and Homilies for Hellenized Christians: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary on 1-2 Peter

2008 y.
Publisher: IVP Academic
Description: Letters and Homilies for Hellenized Christians, Volume 2 is the third of three volumes extending Ben Witherington`s innovative socio-rhetorical analysis of New Testament books to the latter-Pauline and non-Pauline corpora.

Throughout, Witherington shows his thorough knowledge of recent literature on these texts and focuses his attention on the unique insights brought about through socio-rhetorical analysis that either reinforces or corrects those gleaned from other approaches. `Bridging the Horizons` sections point to the relevance of the text for believers today, making this volume of special value to pastors and general readers as well as to students and scholars.

Grace E. Cote
Letters from ``An Unknown Writer``

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Grace E. Cote shares many personal and heartfelt thoughts on life in her collection of letters, Letters from ``An Unknown Writer.`` Each letter is composed from the author to someone who is not specifically identified, be it an ``Unknown Publisher,`` ``An All-Too-Familiar-Body,`` or ``An Unknown Mother.`` The author uses the form of letters to tell the story of her stormy life, which started with an abusive childhood and fed into mental illness. Years of intensive therapy and these letters themselves, led to a healing and ability to experience the joy and awe in her life. Cote`s letters allow the reader to see into her soul and invite the reader to contemplate his or her own existence. More than simply an autobiography or personal letters, Cote`s collection should interest those who want to know what life is like for a woman who has suffered in various ways during life, but who has awakened to experience life at a deeper level.

Letters from a Distant War: Vietnam from a Soldier`s Perspective

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIt has been said, `Vietnam is a country, not a war,` but to the service men and women who served between the years of 1955 to 1973, Vietnam has become more than a country, the name represents images of social and political unrest, of death and destruction. Not only were the armed forces facing the unknown as they were shipped overseas, but those left behind in America were facing fears of potential loss through the ever-departing population of service men and women. Yet the people who waited for their loved ones to return from Vietnam held the very rays of hope that would guide their soldiers home. Such a story is explored in Paul Raisig?s new memoir, `Letters from a Distant War: Vietnam from a Soldier?s Perspective.` Meticulously detailed and eloquently written, Raisig has incorporated the letters written to his wife during his two combat tours of duty during the Vietnam War while narrating the mundane - and not so mundane - duties of a commander… [detailed...]

Letters from the Desert: The Correspondence of Flinders and Hilda Petrie

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFlinders Petrie began his long association with ancient Egypt and the Near East when he went to Giza to survey the pyramids in 1880. Until his death in Jerusalem in 1942 he continued to dig almost until the end. During his long career he revolutionised Egyptian archaeology and indeed can be said to have founded modern scientific archaeology. But this book is not concerned with his scientific work, except tangentially, as Petrie had an admirable practice of publishing his excavations soon after they were completed. These letters and journals have been selected for their vivid account of living in Egypt and Palestine for sixty years. Even more they describe Petrie`s austere approach to a dig where the archaeology was everything and creaturecomforts near non-existent. Many anecdotes survive of life on one of Petrie`s digs and the reality as revealed in these accounts is just as eccentric. Astonishingly when Flinders married Hilda she took to the Petrie system like a duck… [detailed...]

Letters from the Desk of Ronald Reagan : Letters from the Desk of Ronald Reagan

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Ronald Reagan, one of America’s most beloved presidents, is now gone. But his voice lives on in this stirring and very personal collection of letters written during his presidency to his fellow Americans, showing us a new and surprisingly intimate side of our fortieth president. During even the busiest times in his presidency, Ronald Reagan took time out to respond to dozens of letters each week from the many friends and private citizens who wrote to him about their concerns. These letters, collected in the president’s “Handwriting File,” have never been examined by historians. Now Ralph E. Weber and his son, Ralph A. Weber, have culled the best of this collection, arranged chronologically to track the course of political events during the eight years of his presidency. A fascinating glimpse at the issues facing the United States during the 1980s, Letters from the Desk of Ronald Reagan traces history in the making. [detailed...]

Description: `I have told you nothing about man that is not true.` You must pardon me if I repeat that remark now and then in these letters, I want you to take seriously the things I am telling you, and I feel that if I were in your place and you in mine, I should need that reminder from time to time, to keep my credulity from flagging. In Letters from the Earth, Twain presents himself as the Father of History -- reviewing and interpreting events from the Garden of Eden through the Fall and the Flood, translating the papers of Adam and his descendants through the generations. First published fifty years after his death, this eclectic collection is vintage Twain: sharp, witty, imaginative, complex, and wildly funny. [detailed...]

Letters of E. B. White, Revised Edition

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Congratulations on your manly attempt to make me into a literary character,` E. B. White wrote in a letter to his biographer. `It isn`t going to work, but it makes great reading. I was in stitches much of the way, recalling my Early Ineptitude, my Early Sorrows, my Immaculate Romancing. What a mess I was! No wonder my father worried about me.` After the biography was published (in 1984), White offered this insider`s review: `I wish you the joy of the book and am only sorry my life wasn`t crowded with exciting, bawdy, violent events. I know how hard it is to write about a fellow who spends most of his time crouched over a typewriter. That was my fate, too.` Letters of E. B. White touches on these and other subjects, including the New Yorker editor who became his wife, their dachshund, Fred, with his `look of fake respectability`, and White`s literary colleagues, from Harold Ross and James Thurber to Groucho Marx and John Updike and, later, Senator Edmund S….

Dickinson`s poetry reflects the power of her contemplative gifts, and her deep sensitivity courses through her correspondence as well. Lovingly compiled by a close friend, this first collection of Dickinson`s letters originally appeared in 1894, only eight years after the poet`s death. Although she grew reclusive in her later years and seldom saw her many friends, she thoughtof them often and affectionately, as her missives attest. The small cast of daily characters in Dickinson`s little world takes on vivid life in the letters, and her famous wit sparkles from every page. [detailed...]

Francoise de Graffigny
Letters of a Peruvian Woman (Oxford World`s Classics)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: One of the most popular novels of the eighteenth century, the Letters of a Peruvian Woman recounts the story of Zilia, an Inca Virgin of the Sun, who is captured by the Spanish conquistadores and brutally separated from her lover, Aza. She is rescued and taken to France by Deterville, a nobleman, who is soon captivated by her. The novel portrays Zilia`s feelings on her separation from both her lover and her culture, and her experience of a new and alien society. By fusing sentimental fiction and social commentary, Francoise de Graffigny created a new kind of heroine, defined by her intellect as much as her feelings and challenging traditional assumptions about the role of women both in fiction and society. This first fully annotated English translation of the novel includes a comprehensive introduction, appendices containing extracts from Graffigny`s principal source, Garcilosa`s Royal Commentaries of Peru, as well as contemporary French and English continuations/adaptations of the… [detailed...]
