Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Autobiography During the Religious Wars, Vol. 4: From the Spanish Saint Teresa to the English Cavaliers (1550-1630) A different mind and different type of man stands before us in that other and still greater literary Elizabethan, Lord Bacon. Bacon was easily the foremost statesman and philoso pher of his age; but he was a very self-centered man. His career shows that the British nobles were losing that rare sense of freedom, that splendid self - dependence, of the days of the Invincible Armada. England victorious had be come England cautious. The rewards of life were now too rich to be lightly thrown away. Fanatics rise from among the miserable, not from those who live in leisurely ease and comfort. Lord Bacon's attitude toward his own life, his countrymen, and his king, gives us a cynical contrast to that of the earlier writers in our volume.

Download or read book Fighting the Lamb s War written by Philip Berrigan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Christian who truly walks the radical way of the cross. Phil Berrigan overturns the tables of injustice and summons us to love our enemies and worship the God of peace. Like Thoreau, Ghandi, King, and Dorothy Day, Phil Berrigan exemplifies courage. He is both an inspiration and a challenge to me and countless others. Here is a true hero of our turbulent times." --Martin Sheen "Few nations in history have had a prophet of Phil Berrigan's stature. With iron intransigency he has stood in the breach leading to nuclear omnicide. The state has tried to quash his witness time after time; arrests, lockups, long sentences, all the paraphernalia of intimidation. Why doesn't it work? What enable this jack-in-the-box prophet to pop up, again and again? Find out. Read this book." --Walter Wink, author, Engaging the Powers "How important it is for our children to know this history of courage, risk, and commitment that they won't find in history books." --Grace Paley "I have been waiting for Phil Berrigan's autobiography and it is a pleasure to read. His words have the direct, simple eloquence of his actions. He provokes and inspires, and dares to be critical of himself even as he recounts a life committed to peace, justice, and community." --Howard Zinn "One of the best books I have ever read. I loved its honest probing of the thoughts, feelings, and actions of an unusually sensitive, occasionally wrong-headed, but clearly not self-righteous pioneer in the struggle for a better world. Its acute analyses of the periods in which Phil had lived, from before World War II to the present, are invaluable contributions to real history." --David Dellinger, author, From Yale to Jail "It is difficult to be dispassionate about the Berrigans. No one who knows them can doubt that they are heroic individuals, willing to do what many realize should be done, regardless of the personal cost. . . . There are not too many people of whom this can honestly be said." --Noam Chomsky

Book excerpt: His Roman-Catholic faith has been an enduring part of the life and personality of William Buckley, Jr. Now, for the first time since his ground breaking God and the Man at Yale he has written a book about faith--his own. Nearer, My God, An Autobiography of Faith is William Buckley's superbly written story of his life seen through his abiding love for the Catholic Church, a love instilled in him from childhood. He reminisces about his school days in England, his family, the affect the Lunn/Knox dialogue had on him, and examines many aspects of Catholicism and its theology, doctrine and liturgy and on the way discourses about Lourdes, the vernacular mass, the Church and the State, the Crucifixion, the priesthood, contraception as well as the many people who have assisted him on his life's journey. A remarkable, revealing book about one man and his faith.

Download or read book My War Gone By I Miss It So written by Anthony Loyd and published by September Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Undoubtedly the most powerful and immediate book to emerge from the Balkan horror of ethnic civil war' Antony Beevor, Daily Telegraph In 1993, Anthony Loyd hitchhiked to the Balkans hoping to become a journalist. Leaving behind him the legends of a distinguished military family, he wanted to see 'a real war' for himself. In Bosnia he found one. The cruelty and chaos of the conflict both appalled and embraced him; the adrenalin lure of the action perhaps the loudest siren call of all. In the midst of the daily life-and-death struggle among Bosnia's Serbs, Croats and Muslims, Loyd was inspired by the extraordinary human fortitude he discovered. But returning home he found the void of peacetime too painful to bear, and so began a longstanding personal battle with drug abuse. This harrowing account shows humanity at its worst and best. It is a breathtaking feat of reportage; an uncompromising look at the terrifyingly seductive power of war. 'As good as reporting gets. I have nowhere read a more vivid account of frontline fear and survival. Forget the strategic overview. All war is local' Martin Bell, The Times
Download or read book Religion an Accident of Birth written by Charles Richard Hurst and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this final edition edition of Hurst's Religion, an Accident of Birth, the author takes us deeper on his journeys. From a war torn Middle East to the streets of Juarez Mexico, we see the unfolding of not only the works of a great physician, but the love of a humanitarian and his life's work. Hurst, truly a doctor without borders, explores not only his trials during the Vietnam war, the trepidations of secret border crossings in the desert many years later, and the exotic alleyways of the far east, but also the hearts and souls of mankind. In his final work, Hurst begs us to look deeper, not only at our beliefs, but at our purpose as human beings who have the ability to strive and go beyond our interpersonal borders. "We have seen a tremendous amount of history in our lifetime and so much injustice related to religion. Nothing new. When a Hindu mentioned religion as "an accident of birth," I knew I had it to build a book around it. This was to be a book to demand integrity in religion, whether Christian, Muslim, or otherwise." - CR Hurst.
Download or read book Handbook of Autobiography Autofiction written by Martina Wagner-Egelhaaf and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 2220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autobiographical writings have been a major cultural genre from antiquity to the present time. General questions of the literary as, e.g., the relation between literature and reality, truth and fiction, the dependency of author, narrator, and figure, or issues of individual and cultural styles etc., can be studied preeminently in the autobiographical genre. Yet, the tradition of life-writing has, in the course of literary history, developed manifold types and forms. Especially in the globalized age, where the media and other technological / cultural factors contribute to a rapid transformation of lifestyles, autobiographical writing has maintained, even enhanced, its popularity and importance. By conceiving autobiography in a wide sense that includes memoirs, diaries, self-portraits and autofiction as well as media transformations of the genre, this three-volume handbook offers a comprehensive survey of theoretical approaches, systematic aspects, and historical developments in an international and interdisciplinary perspective. While autobiography is usually considered to be a European tradition, special emphasis is placed on the modes of self-representation in non-Western cultures and on inter- and transcultural perspectives of the genre. The individual contributions are closely interconnected by a system of cross-references. The handbook addresses scholars of cultural and literary studies, students as well as non-academic readers.
