Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pellegrinaggio è confine tra sogno e realtà. Confine labile e incerto, limite mutevole, indefinito. Come il ricciolo bianco dell'onda, sospeso tra cielo e mare. L'idea del cammino mai nasce per caso. Una parola scambiata con un amico, il brano di un racconto che ti infiamma dentro e ti fa sognare. Le foto sfogliate assieme e la passione conturbante di chi c'è stato, ha visto e ha vissuto. Un mosaico di emozioni che prende forma poco alla volta, tessera dopo tessera. L'origine è sempre diversa, spesso inaspettata. Un bagliore fugace, una scintilla impercettibile penetra, dritta come saetta, al centro del cuore. Lì per lì non te ne accorgi, continui a seguire il tran tran quotidiano. La monotonia del feriale, l'inganno dell'infrasettimanale che vuole spiegare tutto e non tiene senso alcuno quasi la soffocano. Le sottraggono calore, ne assorbono l'energia, scatenano tempeste improvvise pur di spegnerne la luce. Intanto passano i giorni, i mesi, stagioni intere. La fiammella, sepolta dalla cenere dell'ordinario, non dà segni di vita. Finché accade l'inatteso. L'impossibile. D'un tratto si risveglia prende vigore la senti si fa spazio sgomita cresce sì come sta crescendo si allarga ancora e t’abbraccia t’avvolge ti riempie. Il desiderio, prima invisibile e segreto, spalanca impetuosamente le porte. Esplode con fragore. E capisci che è giunta l'ora. L'attesa ha finalmente termine. Ora di lasciare, di lasciarsi sorprendere, di partire per tornare poi differenti, rinnovati, carichi di speranza, forieri di gioia. È tempo di scegliere. Sguinzagli internet, ti affanni a racimolare le poche informazioni disponibili in rete, giri le biblioteche nella spasmodica ricerca dell'unica guida esistente, ti attacchi all'e-mail lanciando richieste d'aiuto dall'altra parte del Mediterraneo, confidando in una risposta positiva. Tra mille difficoltà, cerchi di organizzare ogni cosa al meglio. Per fortuna la Spagna è stata ottima maestra. Il cammino di Santiago, anzi i cammini, quei tremila chilometri percorsi a piedi, in estate, dai Pirenei all'oceano, nei boschi rigogliosi delle Asturie o nel deserto ardente dell'Andalusia ti sembrano un allenamento sufficiente. Magari sapevi fin da allora che un giorno saresti giunto a Gerusalemme. Che il sogno, chissà quando, chissà come, si sarebbe trasformato in splendida realtà. Dentro un viaggio ce ne sta sempre un altro. Dietro l’effige di San Giacomo, nelle ampie navate della cattedrale ridondanti d’invocazioni e profumate d’incenso, si nascondeva il volto di Cristo. Le vie di Santiago de Compostela avevano l'aspetto sornione di quelle, più aride e polverose, della Città Santa. La mescolanza di popoli, l’intreccio di torme vocianti di pellegrini da ogni dove che in praza do Obradoiro si scambiavano grida d’esultanza e pianti incontenibili era inatteso preludio del guazzabuglio di razze, culture e religioni che da secoli si contendono a fil di spada la sponda orientale del Mediterraneo. Lasciando ferite aperte, sanguinolente, cicatrici difficili da rimarginare. Ecco, il momento è arrivato. Le tappe programmate, i contatti verificati, lo zaino pronto. Si parte. Il libro narra del pellegrinaggio a piedi in Israele e Palestina, da Akko fino a Gerusalemme, passando per Nazaret, monte Tabor, lago di Tiberiade, Gerico e Betlemme. Cammino compiuto dal 3 al 17 luglio 2014, al tempo dell'offensiva lanciata dall'esercito israeliano contro la Striscia di Gaza. Gli echi della guerra alle porte attraversano tutto il diario. La differenza col volume dal titolo analogo sta nella serie di fotografie a corredo. Si tratta, qui, di un racconto per immagini. Resta un'ultima avvertenza al lettore. Se ti scandalizza inciampare in qualche passo del Vangelo, forse questo libro non è adatto a te. Sappi, però, che se andrai in Terra Santa, i conti con la fede dovrai farli comunque. Che tu lo voglia o no. Buona lettura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Paterno was seven when he left Castelmezzano, a small mountain town in Basilicata to set sail on one of the rattletrap ships headed to America. Thirty years later he was one of the top builders in New York City, among the first to construct the skyscrapers that would form the world's most famous skyline. Intelligence, brilliance, intuition and an ability to stay ahed of the times made him a leading figure in the life of Manhattan. He created garden communities, focused on new technologies and turned to the best architects. Paterno didn't just want to offer houses, but new lifestyles to tens of thousands of people. His first American dream looked like a white castle at the northernmost tip of Manhattan, where he lived for years with his wife and son, sorrounded by a small but very loyal retinue. A friend of Giuseppe Prezzolini, he donated a library of 20.000 books, the Paterno Library, to the Casa Italiana at Columbia University. Fiorello La Guardia, the Italian-American mayor of New York City, called him a genius. Born into poverty, Paterno died a wealthy man on the green of the most exclusive country club in Westchester.

Download or read book Showing of Love written by Julian (of Norwich) and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Showing of Love, Julia Bolton Holloway provides a complete translation of Julian of Norwich's ground-breaking text, opening windows of insight into her medieval world. As a female mystic and theologian who was uniquely recognized (in a time when most women were not) for her holiness, Julian of Norwich also came to be known as a catechist, prophet, and spiritual director. Showing of Love records her own healing encounter with divine love and has for many centuries been a source of healing and inspiration for others. Readers of Julian's work find her belief that God sits in our soul as a fair city to be of profound value. That city is every city, Mary its queen, Christ its king. Julian offers these layers in rich text and variant readings. Julian dedicated years of her life to shaping Showing of Love, at the end rewriting it to preserve it from censorship. The anchoress lived in St. Julian's churchyard in Norwich. Her text was saved from destruction by nuns in Brigittine and Benedictine convents, first in England, then in exile after the Reformation. Julian's writings were later published by the Benedictines in 1670. They reveal her strong links with Benedict that continue to have lasting value for readers today. Includes two-color ink on inside pages. Julia Bolton Holloway, PhD, is a vowed hermit living in Florence, Italy. She has published seventeen other works on important historical figures.

Download or read book Medieval European Pilgrimage c 700 c 1500 written by Diana Webb and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval pilgrimage was, above all, an expression of religious faith, but this was not its only aspect. Men and women of all classes went on pilgrimage for a variety of reasons, sometimes by choice, sometimes involuntarily. They made both long and short journeys: to Rome, Jerusalem and Santiago on the one hand; to innumerable local shrines on the other. The routes that they followed by land and water made up a complex web which covered the face of Europe, and their travels required a range of support services, including the protection of rulers (who were themselves often pilgrims). Pilgrimage left its mark not only on the landscape but also on the art and literature of Europe. Diana Webb's engaging book offers the reader a fresh introduction to the history of European Christian pilgrimage in the twelve hundred years between the conversion of Emperor Constantine and the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation. As well as exploring this multi-faceted activity, it considers both the geography of pilgrimage and its significant cultural legacy.

Download or read book The Pilgrim and the Book written by Julia Bolton Holloway and published by Julia Bolton Holloway. This book was released on 1992 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julia Bolton Holloway's The Pilgrim and the Book: A Study of Dante, Langland and Chaucer investigates major fourteenth-century texts, the Commedia, Piers Plowman and The Canterbury Tales, in the light of the medieval theory and practice of pilgrimage, especially concentrating on Emmaus and Exodus paradigms. Holloway's analysis draws extensively on iconography, musicology, typology and anthropology. The concluding chapter explains why each poet places himself within his poem - in his own image - as a pilgrim.
