'Stunning . . . There are descriptions in this book so fresh that they sear themselves into the imagination.' JEREMY PAXMAN 'Fascinating - there's funny stuff, interesting stuff, loads of brilliant stuff really.' JO BRAND (on BBC 2's Between the Covers) What was it like to be caught in the firestorm that destroyed Pompeii? To have dinner with Attila the Hun? To watch the charge of the Light Brigade? To see the Titanic slide beneath the waves? John Carey's best-selling Faber Book of Reportage draws its eyewitness account from memoirs, travel books and newspapers. This is history with the varnish removed.
Download or read book Frederick William Faber written by Melissa J. Wilkinson and published by Gracewing Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The accepted historical picture of Frederick William Faber has often been that of a portly, ebullient, over-emotional individual, remembered chiefly as the founder of the London Oratory, for his disagreements with John Henry Newman, and for his prolific output of hymns (often triumphalist and occasionally sentimental). There is, however, a more profound side to Faber, which made him, in the opinion of one of his contemporaries, Henry Edward Manning, 'a great servant of God'." "This book presents us with the diverse, and often contradictory, strands within Faber's personal spirituality, and identifies the spiritual and intellectual processes that characterised his movement from Calvinistic Anglicanism to Ultramontane Roman Catholicism. If also explores areas of Faber's life that have not been discussed in detail before; his years within the Church of England, university life at Oxford, conversion to Roman Catholicism, foundation of the religious Order the Brothers of the Will of God, and the London Oratory."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Peter Faber written by Jon Sweeney and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time when the Church suffered violent division and strife, one man peacefully modeled compassion and dialogue. Peter Faber was one of the original companions who, with Ignatius of Loyola, founded the Society of Jesus in 1534. From his simple upbringing in a mountain village to his years at university, Faber exhibited a mind for learning and a heart for prayer. After doing Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises—an intense retreat for deepening one’s commitment to Christ and friendship with God—Faber led others to do the same and soon earned a reputation as the best teacher of the Exercises. But it was a time of great dissension, as the Church struggled to respond to the challenges of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. Battle lines were drawn—in churches and conversations, at meetings and councils. Along with other Jesuits, Faber sought to help people keep the faith. In exploring Peter Faber’s life of conversation, we can learn a powerful and faithful response to dissent, disagreement, and division—for his time and ours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Wagner remains, almost 130 years after his death, the most controversial composer in the history of music. Creator of huge and hugely ambitious operas, which have an immense immediate impact, as well as providing food for endless thought and discussion, Wagner has had an influence on many fields outside music. In this lively pocket guide, Michael Tanner gives concise accounts of all his operas - the likes of Parsifal, Lohengrin and Tristan und Isolde - showing how important it is to grasp the dramatic situations at every point, and indicating some of the key musical features. He also provides an outline of Wagner's astonishing life, and shows that he has often been unfairly criticised and made a scapegoat, especially for political events which took place long after his death. Key features include: - Wagner: his life year by year - Wagner: his music work by work - Things people said about Wagner - Essential Wagner: ten great moments - Wagner on CD and DVD - Wagner bibliography This indispensable Faber Pocket Guide provides a wealth of insights into Wagner and is essential reading for anyone with an interest in both and the man and his music.
