Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Judith G. Coffin discovered a virtually unexplored treasure trove of letters to Simone de Beauvoir from Beauvoir's international readers, it inspired Coffin to explore the intimate bond between the famed author and her reading public. This correspondence, at the heart of Sex, Love, and Letters, immerses us in the tumultuous decades from the late 1940s to the 1970s—from the painful aftermath of World War II to the horror and shame of French colonial brutality in Algeria and through the dilemmas and exhilarations of the early gay liberation and feminist movements. The letters also provide a glimpse into the power of reading and the power of readers to seduce their favorite authors. The relationship between Beauvoir and her audience proved especially long, intimate, and vexed. Coffin traces this relationship, from the publication of Beauvoir's acclaimed The Second Sex to the release of the last volume of her memoirs, offering an unfamiliar perspective on one of the most magnetic and polarizing philosophers of the twentieth century. Along the way, we meet many of the greatest writers of Beauvoir's generation—Hannah Arendt; Dominique Aury, author of The Story of O; François Mauriac, winner of the Nobel Prize and nemesis of Albert Camus; Betty Friedan; and, of course, Jean-Paul Sartre—bringing the electrically charged salon experience to life. Sex, Love, and Letters lays bare the private lives and political emotions of the letter writers and of Beauvoir herself. Her readers did not simply pen fan letters but, as Coffin shows, engaged in a dialogue that revealed intellectual and literary life to be a joint and collaborative production. "This must happen to you often, doesn't it?" wrote one. "That people write to you and tell you about their lives?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probes the religious and psychological theories that have inspired François Mauriac in the choice of his subjects and characters. The approach to these ideas has been made from two directions: first, by a general exposition of Mauriac's beliefs as exemplified by his characters as a whole; then, by a more detailed analysis of the prominent persons who appear in his better known works. An attempt has also been made to reveal François Mauriac as a man, and to link him to those in the past and present whose ideas are related to his own; as well as to show in what he differs from other writers whom, in some ways, he resembles.

Download or read book Francois Mauriac 1 Publ written by Martin Jarrett-Kerr and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study of Mauriac--a recent Nobel Prize Winner--is the first extensive critical assessment in English of a novelist whose reputation inside and outside of France appears to be both firmly established and highly debatable. François Mauriac is a Catholic novelist, not merely a novelist who happens to be a Catholic. The world in which his characters live and the moral law by which they succeed or fail are determined by theology. In a situation in which the judgement of the liberal critic may well be unsettled by the excessive desire to show himself aesthetically immune from theological irritations, this essay, written by a Christian theologian who is also a literary critic, must be of the greatest interest. Martin Jarrett-Kerr, after sketching the background and defining scope of Mauriac's novels, raises the problem of the apologetic novelists in the central section of his study. WIth the help of numerous examples he examines the crucial question of the authenticity of Mauriac's vision. Has Mauriac succeeded in embodying his theological convictions in a truly living world? Or are there points at which religious views and artistic vision remain apart, with the views intruding into the vision and upsetting its integrity? And, moreover, may not flaws in artistic creation reveal flaws in the underlying theological system? Literary examinations of this order are likely to profit from the double equipment, aesthetic and theological, that is at the disposal of the present writer" --
Download or read book Fran ois Mauriac Revisited written by David O'Connell and published by Twayne Publishers. This book was released on 1995 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new entry in Twayne's World Authors Series, David O'Connell provides an exceptionally well written, jargon-free introduction to Mauriac, a thoroughly updated rendition of Maxwell Smith's well received Francois Mauriac (1970). Drawing on a trove of primary source material that has become available in the interim, O'Connell focuses on the people and events influencing Mauriac's personal life and how these were manifested in his writings. Organizing his material partly chronologically and partly by genre, O'Connell surveys the writer's major accomplishments and occasional failings; he sheds much needed light on such developments as the spiritual crisis Mauriac underwent in 1927-30 and the writer's shift from supporter of right-wing causes to leading spokesman for the Resistance during World War II. Observing that Mauriac's "influence at home and abroad was enormous during his lifetime" and that "since his death, no 'Catholic writer' of comparable stature has emerged to replace him", O'Connell underscores Mauriac's enduring place in world literature. Readers seeking a first-rate guide to this cardinal writer need look no further than Francois Mauriac Revisited.

Download or read book Of Labour and Liberty written by Race Mathews and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What will the future of work, social freedom, and employment look like? In an era of increased job insecurity and social dislocation, is it possible to reshape economics along democratic lines in a way that genuinely serves the interests of the community? Of Labour and Liberty arises from Race Mathews’s half-century and more of political and public policy involvement. It responds to evidence of a precipitous decline in active citizenship, resulting from a loss of confidence in politics, politicians, parties, and parliamentary democracy; the rise of "lying for hire" lobbyism; increasing concentration of capital in the hands of a wealthy few; and corporate wrongdoing and criminality. It also questions whether political democracy can survive indefinitely in the absence of economic democracy—of labor hiring capital rather than capital labor. It highlights the potential of the social teachings of the Catholic Church and the now largely forgotten Distributist political philosophy and program that originated from them as a means of bringing about a more equal, just, and genuinely democratic social order. It describes and evaluates Australian attempts to give effect to Distributism, with special reference to Victoria. And with an optimistic view to future possibilities it documents the support and advocacy of Pope Francis, and ownership by some 83,000 workers of the Mondragon cooperatives in Spain. This book will interest scholars and students of Catholic social teaching, history, economics, industrial relations, and business and management.

Book excerpt: One of America's leading Christian thinkers interweaves the story of his own struggle to reclaim his beliefs with inspiring portraits of people who have succeeded in the pursuit of an authentic faith. In Soul Survivor, Philip Yancey charts his spiritual pilgrimage through the influence of key individuals: "These are the people who ushered me into the Kingdom. In many ways, they are why I remain a Christian today, and I want to introduce them to other spiritual seekers." Yancey interweaves his own journey with fascinating stories of those who modeled for him a life-enhancing rather than a life-constricting faith: Dr. Paul Brand, G. K. Chesterton, Annie Dillard, Frederick Buechner, C. Everett Koop, Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Henri Nouwen, John Donne, Mahatma Gandi, Shusaku Endo, Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert COles. Readers will find these inspiring portraits both nurture and challenge for their own understanding of authentic faith. Yancey fans will devour these new glimpses of how he has held onto faith while acknowledging with utter honesty its inherent difficulties. New Yancey readers will be drawn in by the theme of faith versus religion and drawn along a compelling narrative of signposts on a spiritual journey. Soul Survivor offers illuminating and critically important insights into true Christianity, which will enrich the lives of veteran believers and cautious seekers alike.
