This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La única manera de vivir, amar y ser feliz sin llegar a viejos... es mantener siempre una mente positiva, un espíritu creativo y una predisposición insobornable para mantenernos en permanente acción espiritual y humana, ya que la decrepitud de la ancianidad o lo que llamamos vejez viene por la inactividad, tal como no lo enseñara el famoso y renombrado pintor renacentista Tiziano en este hermoso ejemplo, ya que le escribió al Rey de España, diciéndole: "Tengo 95 años y pinto mejor que nunca." El Rey lo contrató y en tres años pintó la famosa "Batalla de Le panto" que es inmortal. Y el secreto de vivir mucho tiempo y lúcidamente, consiste en forjar hermosos ideales y tratar de vivir sin maratones, serenamente sin vivir contra-reloj y sin luchar contra el tiempo y salvando las dificultades que se presenten con tranquilidad y optimismo. A la vez que debemos seguir el sabio pensamiento del filósofo alemán Hegel: "La vida tiene su valor, sólo cuando hacemos que valga la pena vivirla." Vivir moralmente que equivale a vivir muchas veces, cimentados en los valores y practicando las pequeñas virtudes que nos hacen personas especiales, nos hacen vivir también más apreciados por los demás y sentirnos útiles y seres sociales integrales, y por ende alcanzamos un mejor índice de vida y nos hacen mantener por fuera de los lances escabrosos y de las aventuras peligrosas, puesto que aprendimos que la primera naturaleza de una persona sensata son las virtudes que a la vez sirven de ejemplo. Y las virtudes deben ser comunes al pueblo como a los mandatarios si se practica una auténtica democracia y nos han legado una sapiente cultura social y humana, y cuando aprendemos además que no hay otra ganancia ni otro éxito superior, ni más espiritual y humano que el éxito y las ganancias de los demás, cuando uno ha sido ese gran artífice, ya que ello nos hace sentir útiles y remozar el alma y el corazón. Sabemos, por otro lado, que hay que aprender a ser viejos, porque no se llega de golpe. Es toda una pedagogía que debiéramos ir recibiendo del mundo de los seres más maduros. Aprender a encontrar en la imagen del anciano la figura de un dios humanado, del sabio, del buen consejero, del que lleva consigo toda una experiencia de la vida. Educar a las gentes para que los ancianos estén insertos en el lugar que les corresponde dentro de la familia como lugar de amistad y de encuentro; no marginándolos, ni pensando que son seres ya inútiles, que molestan o que estorban. La sociedad, hasta ahora, ha dado una gran importancia al mundo de la pediatría y de la superficialidad, sin reparar demasiado en la geriatría y mucho menos en la sabiduría. Es aquello de pensar que vale más preparar una buena máquina para que rinda mucho, pues se piensa que una máquina vieja ya no produce y hay que retirarla. Un niño es un proyecto que no sabemos si querrá o podrá realizarse aunque es muy plausible todo lo que se haga por él. El viejo, cargado de vida, de sabiduría, de sufrimientos, de experiencia, de constancia y de vencimientos... para ser honesto toda una existencia, es todavía más digno: es una realidad que, en un orden ontológico, tiene más peso que una pura posibilidad como lo afirman los estudiosos de la larga existencia humana que puede superar los 120 años con una buena calidad de vida y de amor. Los hombres, seres temporales, tenemos el presente. Sabemos cuando nacimos, y a partir de esta fecha sumamos años; pero no sabemos cuando moriremos. Si supiéramos esta fecha, iríamos restando años. Desde este punto de vista, un joven es más viejo -está más cerca de la muerte- que un viejo que convive con él y el que ya ha creado sus propias defensas, porque si ha pasado su media centuria tiene cuerda para muchos años más. Tenemos que reflexionar en el hecho de ser dueños tan sólo del presente; es decir, de las cosas tal como son. Con una simultánea convivencia de gentes de distintas edades que tienen que encontrar en cada instante su lugar...

Download or read book Cecilia Vald s or El Angel Hill written by Cirilo Villaverde and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-29 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cecilia Valdés is arguably the most important novel of 19th century Cuba. Originally published in New York City in 1882, Cirilo Villaverde's novel has fascinated readers inside and outside Cuba since the late 19th century. In this new English translation, a vast landscape emerges of the moral, political, and sexual depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. Set in the Havana of the 1830s, the novel introduces us to Cecilia, a beautiful light-skinned mulatta, who is being pursued by the son of a Spanish slave trader, named Leonardo. Unbeknownst to the two, they are the children of the same father. Eventually Cecilia gives in to Leonardo's advances; she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl. When Leonardo, who gets bored with Cecilia after a while, agrees to marry a white upper class woman, Cecilia vows revenge. A mulatto friend and suitor of hers kills Leonardo, and Cecilia is thrown into prison as an accessory to the crime. For the contemporary reader Helen Lane's masterful translation of Cecilia Valdés opens a new window into the intricate problems of race relations in Cuba and the Caribbean. There are the elite social circles of European and New World Whites, the rich culture of the free people of color, the class to which Cecilia herself belonged, and then the slaves, divided among themselves between those who were born in Africa and those who were born in the New World, and those who worked on the sugar plantation and those who worked in the households of the rich people in Havana. Cecilia Valdés thus presents a vast portrait of sexual, social, and racial oppression, and the lived experience of Spanish colonialism in Cuba.
Download or read book The Perfect Leader written by Ken Boa and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ken Boa hits the mark. You don't have to look very far today to come across "popular" ideas of leadership that try hard to mimic biblical principles. The problem is that's all they do... mimic. Boa propels leadership a giant step forward with the revelation of the ultimate Christian leadership model. Boa rejects the compromises found in much of today's teaching that force-fit secular standards into a biblical mold—ideas that hover around humanistic ideas of fairness, kindness, and basic morality. Instead, Boa challenges leaders to do a serious evaluation of their approach and to follow the leadership qualities exhibited by God in his Word.
Download or read book The Poisoned Water written by Fernando Benítez and published by Carbondale : Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 1973 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first English translation makes available to English-speaking readers a powerful modern Mexican novel, first published in 1961. Fernando Benítez, well-known Mexican author, journalist, and winner of Mexico's 1968 best-book award, exploits a true but little-known incident by building it into a tightly structured, tense, and tragic novel of social protest. The incident on which the novel is based is a bloody rebellion against the village feudal master touched off by joking comment on the "poisoning" of the water as one of Don Ulises's men is pushed into the plaza fountain. Feeding on itself, the rumor spreads that the "boss" has poisoned the local spring, and rebellion follows, with its violent and unforeseen consequences. The result is a frightening look at one of Mexico's major social problems and glaring ironies--that over fifty years after a revolution fought by the peasant and for the peasant, most rural groups are still living below the national economic standard.
Download or read book Media Technology and Literature in the Nineteenth Century written by Dr Colette Colligan and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operating at the intersection where new technology meets literature, this collection discovers the relationship among image, sound, and touch in the long nineteenth century. The chapters speak to the special mixed-media properties of literature, while exploring the important interconnections of science, technology, and art at the historical moment when media was being theorized, debated, and scrutinized. Each chapter focuses on a specific visual, acoustic, or haptic dimension of media, while also calling attention to the relationships among the three. Famous works such as Wordsworth's "I wandered lonely as a cloud" and Shelley's Frankenstein are discussed alongside a range of lesser-known literary, scientific, and pornographic writings. Topics include the development of a print culture for the visually impaired; the relationship between photography and narrative; the kaleidoscope and modern urban experience; Christmas gift books; poetry, painting and music as remediated forms; the interface among the piano, telegraph, and typewriter; Ernst Heinrich Weber's model of rationalized tactility; and how the shift from visual to auditory telegraphic instruments amplified anxieties about the place of women in nineteenth-century information networks. Full of surprising insights and connections, the collection offers new impetus for stimulating historical conversations and debates about nineteenth-century media, while also contributing fresh perspectives on new media and (re)mediation today.

Download or read book Nazarin written by Robert S Rudder and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-03 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father Nazario Zajarín leads a life of uncompromised humility, loving others and living among the poorest citizens. Life changes for the pious protagonist when his forgiveness extends to sinners that pull Nazarín over to the other side of the law in the eyes of society. Scorned, mocked, and spurned by others, his faith is tested and his bond with the Catholic Church is broken when he rejects political dogma. A tightly written story about living in the trenches of society's shortcomings, the book is an insightful challenge of religion under late 19th-century Spanish rule worthy of inclusion in moral discussions still today.

Download or read book Halma written by Benito Pérez Galdós and published by Cambridge Scholars Pub. This book was released on 2015 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Galdós' early writings were inspired by the French writer Emile Zola, a practitioner of the literary school of naturalism. This interest then turned to a type of spiritual naturalism under the influence of Russian writers, including Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Turgenev, whom he called his 'great teacher.' One of his most important works during this period was 'Halma', the story of an aristocratic lady who decides to use her inheritance to found an idyllic Christian society for the sick and the needy. This book examines Galdós' influential novel.

Download or read book Babrius and Phaedrus written by Babrius and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BABRIUS is the reputed author of a collection (discovered in the 19th century) of more than 125 fables based on 'Aesop's', in Greek verse. He may have been a 'Hellenised' Roman living in Asia Minor during the late 1st century after Christ. The fables are all in one metre and in very good style, terse, humorous and pointed. Some are original. PHAEDRUS, born in Macedonia, flourished in the early half of the 1st century after Christ. Apparently a slave set free by the Emperor Augustus (died A.D. 14) he lived in Italy and began to write 'Aesopian' fables. When he offended Sejanus the powerful official of the Emperor Tiberius, he was punished, but not silenced. The fables, in 5 books, are in lively terse and simple Latin verse not lacking in dignity. They not only amuse and teach but also satirise social and political life in Rome. In the later Middle Ages he was forgotten except in prose-versions of the fables.
