More than amemoir about finding a religion that works for her, Thompson speaks to a familiar American dilemma?how do we integrate an ancient, native spirituality into modern Western life? Like many contemporary seekers, she was drawn to a spirituality that offered a more loving, empowering and non-judgmental God along with meaningful rituals and teachings. `This theology assumes that you have an essential right to prosper, to be the best and most successful person you`re inherently capable of becoming, to livein harmony with your fellows and with the earth itself,` she explains. As she grows more devout in Santeria, she must learn how to incorporate her spiritual growth into daily living. In her case, Thompson is a divorced, single mother,… [detailed...]

Robert Silverberg
Sailing To Byzantium

2004 y.
Publisher: ibooks
Description: In this collection of five previously published novellas, Nebula and Hugo Award-winner Silverberg interprets literary allusions literally, building complex SF scenarios from fragments taken from English literature. Silverberg`s eponymous novella transposes Yeats`s poem title `Sailing to Byzantium` to 50th-century Earth, where tourist-citizens spend their time visiting replicas of long-dead historical cities such as Byzantine Constantinople. The narrator of `Homefaring` travels far into the future and finds himself inside the sentient consciousness of a giant lobster, leading him to reflect on time as described in one of Eliot`s Quartets. A passage from the Book of Joshua provides the premise for `Thomas the Proclaimer,` in which a shaggy prophet`s call for a sign from God leads to the sun standing still in the sky. The line `We are for the dark` from Shakespeare`s Antony and Cleopatra becomes the justification for interstellar colonization in the resulting novella here. And… [detailed...]

Sailing to Formosa: A Poetic Companion to Taiwan

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This bilingual anthology of modern Chinese poetry from and about Taiwan is arranged in thematic sections that present contrasting views of life in Taiwan. The island`s dramatic history has given modern Taiwan literature a wealth of conflicting cultural, linguistic, and ideological legacies that continue to shape it. Modern Taiwan poetry draws on the developing modernism of 1920s and 1930s China, the avant-garde movements of modern Europe, and Japan`s `colonial modernism,` which itself was inspired by Europe. By all standards, Taiwan has produced some of the best modern poetry in Chinese. The forty-eight poets presented here speak on a host of topics, including family and homeland, memory of war, social justice, and the natural world. Collectively, they paint a complex picture of the trauma, travails, and beauties of life in Taiwan. They represent different generations, display different styles, and express different views and positions. With its variety of poetic voices and… [detailed...]

Sailing with Carol: a love story

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Sailing with Carol is about love and sailing, a childhood romance, separation, and reunion. First playmates, we became sweethearts until in the turmoil of the sixties, we walked diverse paths. Reunited decades later, we pursued our dreams, living an enchanted existence for twenty-one years, sailing our boats to faraway places. During those voyages Carol mastered her fears and honed the resolve she would so desperately need in the final years of her life. From novice boater to skilled sailor, she dealt with life`s extremes. Sailing became a metaphor for all other aspects of her growth as a woman and she became more confident in her seamanship and everyday life. As best friends, our union became symbiotic, especially when sailing. She became more comfortable with her sexuality, but also steered our boats in storms and stood by me to fight off thugs on a New York dock. She could be angelically innocent, or shamelessly seductive. She was all any man could want in a woman and partner. [detailed...]

Saint Augustine`s Sin (Augustine, Confessiones. Bk. 3.)

Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comGarry Wills--Latin scholar, liberal Catholic apologist, historian, award-winning Augustine biographer, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author--is certainly one of the best qualified translators in America to render Saint Augustine`s Confessiones for modern readers. With Saint Augustine`s Sin Wills offers the third and perhaps most crucial volume of the translation (following Saint Augustine`s Childhood and Saint Augustine`s Memory ), and, with a small exception, his text remains lively, erudite, and contemporary while preserving the rhetorical games of the original. As in the earlier volumes, the supporting apparatus for the translation--almost two thirds of the slim book--allows Wills to open the literary and theological complexity of Augustine to new readers. In the introduction he declares that Augustine`s titular sin is not sexual (as is often assumed), but, rather, is a gratuitous sin--a theft of pears committed with a group of young… [detailed...]

Eugene Rice`s award-winning book traces the saint`s changing images and fortunes from 1300 to 1600 and charts how culture - popular and elite, secular and sacred, pietistic and scholarly - celebrated those aspects of Jerome`s life that best suited its own purposes.

Jacques Le Goff
Saint Louis

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Canonized in 1297 as Saint Louis, King Louis IX of France (1214-1270) was the central figure of Christendom in the thirteenth century. He ruled when France was at the height of power, he commanded the largest army in Europe and controlled the wealthiest kingdom. Renowned for his patronage of the arts, Louis was equally famous for his choice to imitate the suffering Christ as a humbly attired, bearded penitent.Armed with the considerable resources of the novel historian, Jacques Le Goff mines existing materials about Saint Louis to forge a new historical biography of the king. Part of his ambitious project is to reconstruct the mental universe of the thirteenth century: Le Goff describes the scholastic and intellectual background of Louis` reign and, most importantly, he discusses methodology and the interpretation of written sources - their composition, provenance, and reliability.Le Goff divides his unconventional biography into three parts. In the first, he gives us the contours of… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionSaint Martin/Sint Maarten is unique by any standards- historically, geographically, and culturally. Situated in the Caribbean Leeward Islands and only 37 square miles across, it is remarkable for its dual nationality: French and Dutch. The border is almost invisible and people cross back and forth without ever really realizing they are entering a new country. The only sign is a monument between Union Road and Bellevue commemorating over 350 years of peaceful cohabitation and the Treaty that made the arrangement possible. With its two bustling capitals Marigot (on the French side) and Philipsburg (on the Dutch) and its subtle and not so subtle cultural and architectural differences, there are endless opportunities for everyone, from the casinos in Philipsburg to a day`s hike through the jungles of Loterie Farm near Pic Paradis. The towns on the French side are a mixture of markets that are typically Caribbean and cafes that are typically French. On the Dutch side,… [detailed...]
