Download or read book Elders and Betters written by Ivy Compton-Burnett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09-28 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Donne family's move to the country is inspired by a wish to be close to their cousins, who are to be their nearest neighbours. It proves too close for comfort, however. For a secret switching of wills causes the most genteel pursuit of self-interest to threaten good relations and even good manners... First published in 1944, Ivy Compton-Burnett employs her sharp ear for comedy and celebrated powers of dialogue to spectacular effect. She reveals a devastating microcosm of human society, in which the elders are by no means always the betters, in which no character is totally scrupulous, but none without their appeal.

Book excerpt: Aging with Grace by the Power of the Gospel Whatever season of life you're in, God has equipped you to flourish—to live in the transforming power and beauty of his grace. As we age, we can easily lose sight of this message as cultural ideals glorifying youth take center stage. In this book, Sharon W. Betters and Susan Hunt offer present-day and biblical examples of women who rediscovered gospel-rooted joy later in their lives. Equipped with a biblical view of aging, Aging with Grace will help you encounter afresh the gospel that "is big enough, good enough, and powerful enough to make every season of life significant and glorious."

Download or read book Reading the Letters of Pliny the Younger written by Roy K. Gibson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-22 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first general introduction to Pliny's Letters published in any language, combining close readings with broader context and adopting a fresh and innovative approach to reading the letters as an artistically structured collection. Chapter 1 traces Pliny's autobiographical narrative throughout the Letters; Chapter 2 undertakes detailed study of Book 6 as an artistic entity; while Chapter 3 sets Pliny's letters within a Roman epistolographical tradition dominated by Cicero and Seneca. Chapters 4 to 7 study thematic letter cycles within the collection, including those on Pliny's famous country villas and his relationships with Pliny the Elder and Tacitus. The final chapter focuses on the 'grand design' which unifies and structures the collection. Four detailed appendices give invaluable historical and scholarly context, including a helpful timeline for Pliny's life and career, detailed bibliographical help on over 30 popular topics in Pliny's letters and a summary of the main characters mentioned in the Letters.

Then, shortly after she first met consultant neurosurgeon Mr. Adam Ross-Pitt, her small world changed irrevocably. She had Mr. Ross-Pitt to thank for her new job at the manor house near his home, but she was sensible enough to realize that he was beyond her reach.

Download or read book A Handbook of Chinese Cultural Terms written by Gao Wanlong and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is specially designed to meet the needs of both Chinese and English readers, researchers, and translators who are interested in Chinese culture. The Chinese cultural terms included in this book cover almost all the aspects of Chinese culture, literary, artistic, religious, philosophical, folkloric, classical, vernacular and so on. As many of them have not their English equivalents, the authors have tried to find the corresponding English terms for them as much as possible so that they can be conductive to the readers' grasp of the Chinese cultural terms and phrases when they read or translate a Chinese book about Chinese culture. This book is indispensible and very useful to sinologists, Chinese-English translators and tour guides.
