Download or read book In the School of Prophets written by Ephrem Arcement and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distinctive prophetic quality of Thomas Merton's spirituality, shaped by figures ranging from the Hebrew prophets to Thich Nhat Hanh, emerges from this fresh examination of the works Merton read, responded to, and celebrated in his own writing. In the School of Prophets examines the final decade of Merton's life, mainly through the lens of his journals and letters, and helps to fill a gap in contemporary Merton studies. William Blake and various Latin American poets; novelists Boris Pasternak, Albert Camus, and William Faulkner; existentialists Søren Kierkegaard and Gabriel Marcel; monks of the Egyptian desert; and Bernard of Clairvaux number among those who helped shape Merton's prophetic consciousness, leading him to reexamine what it means to be both a human being and a contemplative monk of the twentieth century.

Cuando el marco geografico que la limita es tan amplio como el caso que nos ocupa, y cuando la riqueza literaria es tanta, el resultado, necesariamente, pasa por la postergacion de autores y obras de calidad. El lector interesado en un excritor concreto puede recurrir a la bibliografia para profundizar en el.

Download or read book Transfigurations written by Jay Wright and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few poets have as much to tell us about the intricate relationship between the African American past and present as Jay Wright. His poems weave a rich fabric of personal history using diverse materials drawn from African, Native American, and European sources. Scholarly, historical, intuitive, and emotional, his work explores territories in which rituals of psychological and spiritual individuation find a new synthesis in the construction of cultural values. Never an ideologue but always a poet of vision, his imagination shows us a way to rejoice and strengthen ourselves in our common humanity. Here, together for the first time, are Wright’s previously published collections—The Homecoming Singer (1971), Soothsayers and Omens (1976), Explications/Interpretations (1984), Dimensions of History (1976), The Double Invention of Komo (1980), Elaine’s Book (1988), and Boleros (1991)—along with the new poems of Transformations (1997). By presenting Wright’s work as a whole, this collection reveals the powerful consistency of his theme—a spiritual or intellectual quest for personal development—as each book builds solidly upon the previous one. Wright examines history from a multicultural perspective, attempting to conquer a sense of exclusion—from society and his own cultural identity—and find solace and accord by linking American society to African traditions. He believes that a poem must articulate the vital rhythms of the culture it depicts and is dedicated to a pursuit of poetic forms that embody the cadence of African American culture. Defying characterization, Wright has experimented with voices, languages, cultures, and forms not normally associated with African American literature. He is well schooled in the cultures of West Africa, Europe, and the Americas, and—true to his New Mexican birth—he is a powerful synthesizer of human experience. Transfigurations reveals Wright to be a man of profound knowledge and a poet of exalted verbal intensity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jade está a punto de comenzar el octavo grado en una nueva ciudad––Atlanta. Ella solo quiere regresar a Chicago, donde están sus amigos y donde vive su abuela. Pero Jade disfruta caminar a su nueva escuela por el camino en el bosque detrás de su casa, donde las flores florecen y las hojas se mueven debajo de sus pies. En el bosque, Jade se siente segura, como si el bosque la estuviera escuchando. Es ahí donde Jade conoce a Itztli, un cuentacuentos que existe entre los sueños y la realidad. Durante el atardecer, Itztli aparece transformado en un jaguar. Pero cuando habla con Jade, es un anciano sabio que hace intrincadas obras de arte y le cuenta las historias ancestrales de México. Al principio, las historias de Itztli se sienten muy alejadas de la vida de Jade. Pero cuando su abuela se enferma repentinamente, dos torres se derrumban en la ciudad de Nueva York, y Jade se convierte en alguien o algo que aún no logra comprender, las historias de Itztli toman un nuevo significado. Jade debe aprender a tener la paciencia y la fuerza para convertirse en quien siempre estaba destinada a ser, cuando un antiguo poder empieza a despertar dentro de ella.
