Download or read book The Character of Rain written by Amelie Nothomb and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Japanese believe that until the age of three, children, whether Japanese or not, are gods, each one an okosama, or "lord child." On their third birthday they fall from grace and join the rest of the human race. In Amelie Nothomb's new novel, The Character of Rain, we learn that divinity is a difficult thing from which to recover, particularly if, like the child in this story, you have spent the first tow and a half years of life in a nearly vegetative state. "I remember everything that happened to me after the age of two and one-half," the narrator tells us. She means this literally. Once jolted out of her plant-like , tube-like trance (to the ecstatic relief of her concerned parents), the child bursts into existence, absorbing everything that Japan, where her father works as a diplomat, has to offer. Life is an unfolding pageant of delight and danger, a ceaseless exploration of pleasure and the limits of power. Most wondrous of all is the discovery of water: oceans, seas, pools, puddles, streams, ponds, and, perhaps most of all, rain-one meaning of the Japanese character for her name. Hers is an amphibious life. The Character of Rain evokes the hilarity, terror, and sanctity of childhood. As she did in the award-winning, international bestesller Fear and Trembling, Nothomb grounds the novel in the outlines of her experiences in Japan, but the self-portrait that emerges from these pages is hauntingly universal. Amelie Nothomb's novels are unforgettable immersion experiences, leaving you both holding your breath with admiration, your lungs aching, and longing for more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El encuentro del autor con los acontecimientos que vivió su padre durante la Guerra Civil Española. Este esfuerzo no es una biografía de él ni mucho menos. Partes de esta narración están noveladas y adaptadas al que quizá fue un posible escenario de su vida. Me hubiera gustado mucho que alguna noche calmada se hubiese sentado a mi lado para narrarme su historia y que me hubiera explicado lo que sentía en esos momentos, pero eso no fue posible, y ahora me las comentó de una manera diferente, con un lenguaje que me llevó a la investigación. Me mostró un poco de su historia, de regaló un pequeño hilo para que lo siguiera y me adentrará más en ella. Me contó, pues, una historia más. La estructura de la narración está compuesta por la visión de dos personajes que pasan por el mismo lugar, viendo lo mismo, pero separados por el tiempo. Hay momentos que son contados por separado, y otros bajo la excusa de una charla en el café

Download or read book Si Dios se revela Dios al Hombre C mo lo hace written by Reynaldo Pareja and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una de las preguntas fundamentales que miles de millones de hombres se han hecho a lo largo de la historia de la Humanidad es: Si Dios existe, quien es El, como se le puede conocer, como se lo puede imaginar, como se le puede hablar? Es Dios una categoria mental mas de las tantas que creamos y por lo tanto es producto de nuestra imaginacion, o ese Dios existe realmente y se ha comunicado con nosotros de alguna manera verificable, objetiva y nos ha revelado algo de Quien es El? Y a estos interrogantes se le anade la inseparable duda de si lo que afirmarnos de Dios es realmente lo que El ES. Este interrogante ha sido motivo de innumerables confrontaciones entre los que afirman que si se ha dado dicha comunicacion y los que afirman que ese Dios no nos ha hablado nunca y que por lo tanto es producto de nuestra imaginacion, de nuestro deseo de sentirnos protegidos, de sentirnos cobijados, de sentirnos especiales cuando nos damos cuenta que somos varios billones de humanos viviendo en este punto azul, la Tierra, suspendida en el firmamento compartiendo el espacio con miles y miles de estrellas de nuestra galaxia y esta, a su vez, acompanada por miles de otras galaxias ejecutando el baile cosmico de nuestro universo. Es, pues, necesario hacer una revision historico-critica y de fondo para averiguar si existe o se ha dado la posibilidad de una comunicacion entre este Ser-Dios y nosotros, la Humanidad. Y si ha ocurrido, de que manera se ha hecho dicha comunicacion? Y si se ha dado, que nos ha dicho Dios de Si mismo que nos sirva para hacernos una imagen comprensible de Quien es El, de cual es su intima Esencia?
