Download or read book One Hundred Years of Solitude written by Gabriel García Márquez and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the twentieth century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize–winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America. Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.
Download or read book Desmitificaci N de Dogmas y Devociones Cat Licos en Cien a Os de Soledad written by Ernesto Garc a. Uranga and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se podría pensar que vincular la obra maestra Cien años de soledad de Gabriel García Márquez con cuestiones teológicas sería una locura. Sin embargo, en la novela del colombiano -como lo señalara Joaquín Marco en su Estudio introductorio a Cien años de soledad- "Aparecen abundantes elementos religiosos propios de la liturgia católica" que sugieren que no se trata de una simple casualidad; al contrario, todo parece que dichas referencias se dan con toda intención. En el presente trabajo, Ernesto García Uranga toma su lupa y emprende una búsqueda de las referencias a dogmas y devociones católicos presentes en Cien años de soledad. Usando como aval a la Teología histórica para justificar sus argumentos, el investigador se da a la tarea de demostrar que el novelista sudamericano desmitifica, de una manera deliberada, por medio de la parodia, ciertos dogmas y devociones impuestos a los creyentes católicos por el Magisterio de la Iglesia. En este ensayo de ninguna manera se sugiere que dichos dogmas y devociones deben ser eliminados de la cultura religiosa católica; en su lugar, García Uranga deja en claro que, según lo entiende, la verdadera finalidad de la desmitificación que lleva a cabo Gabriel García Márquez en Cien años de soledad es la de conferir a los mencionados dogmas y devociones una interpretación más humana y menos divina a la luz de la justicia social, pues en su forma actual carecen de verdadero significado para el piadoso católico, y, lo que es aún más grave, no encuentran apoyo en las Sagradas Escrituras. "Se requiere", dice el autor de este estudio -citando al decano de la Teología moral católica, profesor Bernard Häring- "de un luto por parte de la Iglesia, de la cabeza y sus miembros, por tantas doctrinas falsas que son constantemente reafirmadas". De lo contrario, si el Vaticano continúa haciendo gala de su terquedad, anteponiendo el Derecho canónico a los Evangelios para la conducción de la Iglesia, se expone a que muchos católicos simplemente le den la espalda. De ahí que sea imprescindible, remata el estudioso, que la Iglesia entienda, como lo puntualiza Leonardo Boff, que "el espíritu de la modernidad no se orienta por la autoridad, sino por la participación". En estos momentos de cambio las ovejas rehúsan permanecer quietas en su redil, ya no se les puede obligar a que crean ciegamente. De ahí que se da por sentado que "Los seres humanos libres" -como indica Mary E. Hines- "tienen el derecho a razones claras por las cuales se les exige creer".
Download or read book The Vincentians A General History of the Congregation of the Mission written by John E. Rybolt and published by New City Press. This book was released on with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE SUBTITLE OF THIS SIXTH AND FINAL VOLUME of The Vincentians, “Internationalization and Aggiornamento (1919–1980),” describes the growth and change of the Congregation of the Mission in the twentieth century. Formerly European in focus, the provinces of the Congregation gained their own voice. Membership in mission lands, such as China, Brazil, and Ethiopia, surged, as local vocations joined their European confreres. The same is true of maturing provinces elsewhere. St. Vincent de Paul’s congregation became internationalized in both outreach and membership. The Vincentians in these recent decades also tasted the bitterness of persecution. The Congregation was suppressed at various times in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Its members often reacted by moving elsewhere, thus furthering the internationalization of the Vincentian charism. Under the Nazis and Communist regimes, many suffered imprisonment, torture, and death. The provinces of Central Europe (Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland), to say nothing of China, were particularly hard-hit. Updating (aggiornamento) was the watchword toward the close of this period. As society changed, so did the Church, and with it the Vincentians. The process was difficult and painful, but it moved the Congregation in directions originally laid down by the Founder. Increasingly, the members emphasized mutual cooperation with many Vincentian-inspired lay organizations, the Vincentian Family. The inspiration shared among them all has been a further manifestation of the compelling insights of St. Vincent de Paul.
Download or read book The Archaeology of Cremation written by Tim Thompson and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human societies have disposed of their dead in a variety of ways. However, while considerable attention has been paid to bodies that were buried, comparatively little work has been devoted to understanding the nature of cremated remains, despite their visibility through time. It has been argued that this is the result of decades of misunderstanding regarding the potential information that this material holds, combined with properties that make burned bone inherently difficult to analyse. As such, there is a considerable body of knowledge on the concepts and practices of inhumation yet our understanding of cremation ritual and practice is by comparison, woefully inadequate. This timely volume therefore draws together the inventive methodology that has been developed for this material and combines it with a fuller interpretation of the archaeological funerary context. It demonstrates how an innovative methodology, when applied to a challenging material, can produce new and exciting interpretations of archaeological sites and funerary contexts. The reader is introduced to the nature of burned human remains and the destructive effect that fire can have on the body. Subsequent chapters describe important cremation practices and sites from around the world and from the Neolithic period to the modern day. By emphasising the need for a robust methodology combined with a nuanced interpretation, it is possible to begin to appreciate the significance and wide-spread adoption of this practice of dealing with the dead.
Download or read book Gabriel Garc a M rquez written by Gerald Martin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exhaustive and enlightening biography—nearly two decades in the making—Gerald Martin dexterously traces the life and times of one of the twentieth century’s greatest literary titans, Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel García Márquez. Martin chronicles the particulars of an extraordinary life, from his upbringing in backwater Colombia and early journalism career, to the publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude at age forty, and the wealth and fame that followed. Based on interviews with more than three hundred of Garcia Marquez’s closest friends, family members, fellow authors, and detractors—as well as the many hours Martin spent with ‘Gabo’ himself—the result is a revelation of both the writer and the man. It is as gripping as any of Gabriel García Márquez’s powerful journalism, as enthralling as any of his acclaimed and beloved fiction.

Download or read book The Hundred Years War on Palestine written by Rashid Khalidi and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East, told through pivotal events and family history In 1899, Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, mayor of Jerusalem, alarmed by the Zionist call to create a Jewish national home in Palestine, wrote a letter aimed at Theodore Herzl: the country had an indigenous people who would not easily accept their own displacement. He warned of the perils ahead, ending his note, “in the name of God, let Palestine be left alone.” Thus Rashid Khalidi, al-Khalidi’s great-great-nephew, begins this sweeping history, the first general account of the conflict told from an explicitly Palestinian perspective. Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members—mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists—The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age. He highlights the key episodes in this colonial campaign, from the 1917 Balfour Declaration to the destruction of Palestine in 1948, from Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon to the endless and futile peace process. Original, authoritative, and important, The Hundred Years' War on Palestine is not a chronicle of victimization, nor does it whitewash the mistakes of Palestinian leaders or deny the emergence of national movements on both sides. In reevaluating the forces arrayed against the Palestinians, it offers an illuminating new view of a conflict that continues to this day.

Download or read book History of Technology Volume 30 written by Ian Inkster and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the development of four key issues in the development of modern Spain; knowledge, manufacturing, energy and telecommunications, and public works. If technology transfer from advanced nations to less developed systems always worked, then the whole world would now be rich. That this is not the case is so obvious, we might well expect that the history of the processes, successes and failures of technology transfer across nations would be a very well-established field of enquiry. In fact, the theme is still a developing one, and the present Special Issue centres on the case of Spain as exemplary in many respects. The collected essays focus upon the four major themes of knowledge, manufacturing, energy, and telecommunications and public works. Essays range in time from the 18th century to the present time, from studies of espionage and early links between craftsmen and savants, to the institutions of technology (from training systems, to private enterprise activity, or patents), to case-studies of silk manufacture, shipbuilding, mining, paper-making, and pharmaceuticals. Each essay offers a broad variety of material to bring to bear on a major problem of world development, past, present, and future.

Book excerpt: Neste clássico de Gabriel García Marques, conheça as fabulosas aventuras dos Buendía-Iguarán, com seus milagres, fantasias e dramas que representam famílias do mundo inteiro. Romance fundamental na história da literatura, Cem anos de solidão apresenta uma das mais fascinantes aventuras literárias do século XX. Vencedora do Prêmio Nobel de Literatura, uma obra que todos devíamos ter em nossas estantes. Em Cem anos de solidão , um dos maiores clássicos da literatura, o prestigiado autor narra a incrível e triste história dos Buendía - a estirpe de solitários para a qual não será dada “uma segunda oportunidade sobre a terra” e apresenta o maravilhoso universo da fictícia Macondo, onde se passa o romance. É lá que acompanhamos diversas gerações dessa família, assim como a ascensão e a queda do vilarejo. Para além dos artifícios técnicos e das influências literárias que transbordam do livro, ainda vemos em suas páginas o que por muitos é considerado uma autêntica enciclopédia do imaginário, num estilo que consagrou o colombiano como um dos maiores autores do século XX. Em nenhum outro livro García Márquez empenhou-se tanto para alcançar o tom com que sua avó materna lhe contava os episódios mais fantásticos sem alterar um só traço do rosto. Assim, ao mesmo tempo em que a incrível e triste história dos Buendía pode ser entendida como uma autêntica enciclopédia do imaginário, ela é narrada de modo a parecer que tudo faz parte da mais banal das realidades. Gabo, apelido de Gabriel García Márquez, costumava dizer que todo grande escritor está sempre escrevendo o mesmo livro. “E qual seria o seu?”, perguntaram-lhe. “O livro da solidão”, foi a resposta. Apesar disso, ele não considerava Cem anos sua melhor obra (gostava demais de O outono do patriarca ). O que importa? O certo é que nenhum outro romance resume tão completamente o formidável talento deste contador de histórias de solitários - que se espalham e se espalharão por muito mais de cem anos pelas Macondos de todo o mundo. Cem anos de solidão é uma obra grandiosa e atemporal, sobre a qual é possível construir diversos paralelos com a nossa própria existência.
