Book Il libro delle preghiere che guariscono

Download or read book Il libro delle preghiere che guariscono written by AA. VV. and published by Edizioni Terra Santa. This book was released on 2020-05-20T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le invocazioni più belle da tutte le religioni del mondo, testimonianza dell’insopprimibile sete d’infinito che ogni individuo avverte dentro di sé. L’essere umano si percepisce da sempre creatura fragile e fin dalla preistoria ha sentito in sé l’anelito verso un Essere superiore a cui confidare le proprie paure, le proprie speranze, i propri desideri e, sovente, anche la propria sofferenza. La preghiera si è servita nei secoli – e si serve tutt’oggi – di modalità espressive diverse. Eppure, la preghiera che si nutre di parole resta il mezzo principe di questo dialogo con l’Altissimo, uno dei linguaggi più utilizzati in ogni epoca e latitudine. In questo piccolo breviario di oltre trecento preghiere, attinte a tutte le tradizioni religiose, sono riunite invocazioni per richiedere sostegno nei momenti difficili di malattia, sventura e afflizione, ma anche magnifiche espressioni di lode e ringraziamento per gioie inaspettate, guarigioni insperate, consolazioni ricevute. Dal cristianesimo all’ebraismo, dal buddhismo all’islam, dalla spiritualità induista fino alle culture dei nativi d’America, senza tralasciare i culti di antiche civiltà o le formule di devozione più “laica” di filosofi e scrittori moderni, questo libro ci accompagna in un lungo viaggio attraverso le religioni dell’umanità e la loro costante ricerca di un senso al grande mistero del dolore. A cura di Paola Carelli

  • Publisher : Fortress Press
  • Release : 2009-06-02
  • ISBN : 1451419538
  • Pages : 234 pages

Download or read book An Unsettling God written by Walter Brueggemann and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pages of the Hebrew Bible, ancient Israel gave witness to its encounter with a profound and uncontrollable reality experienced through relationship. This book, drawn from the heart of foremost Old Testament theologian Walter Brueggemann's Theology of the Old Testament, distills a career's worth of insights into the core message of the Hebrew Bible. God is described there, Brueggemann observes, as engaging four "partners" in the divine purpose. This volume presents Brueggeman at his most engaging, offering profound insights tailored especially for the beginning student of the Hebrew Bible.

Book Pescara Tales  1902

    Book Details:
  • Author : Gabriele D'Annunzio
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 2017-07
  • ISBN : 9780987463784
  • Pages : 260 pages

Download or read book Pescara Tales 1902 written by Gabriele D'Annunzio and published by . This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The setting for his collection of eighteen stories by Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863-1938) was the Adriatic seaport of Pescara and its hinterland in the Italian region of Abruzzo, the author depicting events and personalities from the time of his youth, but also drawing from bygone incidents that were yet memorable in the area's folk history. Pescara may not have had the cachet of celebrated cities such as Venice or Florence, but sympathetically and wryly revealed here by the pen of one of Italy's great writers it lives and breathes with a vitality probably best compared to that of James Joyce's 'dear dirty Dublin'. Indeed Joyce, who admired D'Annunzio, may well have been inspired by the Italian's cameos of small-town life, his parade of saints, voluptuaries and reprobates, their repressions, obsessions, individual dissolutions, collective explosions of anarchy, and their aptness for bizarre behavior that extended from the catatonic to the manic. D'Annunzio came to recognize just how exotic his native region was after he had left it for Rome, where he worked for some years as a journalist and essay writer in the employ of various literary magazines. His Abruzzo articles, and especially those in which he records examples of extraordinary devotional behavior (akin to what Mark Twain was witnessing at that time on the banks of the Ganges), became the basis of the stories in this collection. D'Annunzio was a published poet at the age of sixteen, and his verse has never been absent from the Western Canon since. Something of his painterly style, the layered brushwork of his descriptions, the gorgeous romantic renderings of rural scenes and the moods of the sea, his celebrations of sensuality, his aesthete's fascination with all the possible bodily conditions, from the virginal-voluptuous to the decayed and moribund (he has been hailed as 'the body's poet'), will amaze and delight the reader even in the blandest and most dictionary-dependent translation. The present one is no such, however. Vladislav Zhukov is an experienced translator who has rendered works from four languages into English, including a substantial book of poetry, three volumes of short stories, and a novel (all available on Amazon.com). His knowledge of Italian is that of someone who acquired the language while living in Italy during his youth.

Book The House of Others

    Book Details:
  • Author : Silvio D'Arzo
  • Publisher : Northwestern University Press
  • Release : 1995
  • ISBN : 9780810160019
  • Pages : 140 pages

Download or read book The House of Others written by Silvio D'Arzo and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The illegitimate son of a fortune teller, Ezio Comparoni (1920-52) never knew his father, rarely left his home town, and admitted no one to his home. His deliberate obscurity was compounded by his use of many pseudonyms, including Silvio d'Arzo, under which he wrote the remarkable novella and three stories collected in The House of Others. The novella The House of Others is among the rare perfect works of twentieth century fiction. In a desolate mountain village an old woman visits the parish priest, ostensibly to ask about dissolving a marriage. Gradually, as she probes for information on "special cases"--cases in which what is obviously wrong can also be irrefutably right--it becomes clear her true question is whether or not she might take her own life. The question is metaphysical, involving not only the woman's life but the priest's; and to it he has no answer.

Book Butch Heroes

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ria Brodell
  • Publisher : MIT Press
  • Release : 2018-12-11
  • ISBN : 0262349965
  • Pages : 95 pages

Download or read book Butch Heroes written by Ria Brodell and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portraits and texts recover lost queer history: the lives of people who didn't conform to gender norms, from the fifteenth through the twentieth centuries. “A serious—and seriously successful—queer history recovery project.” —Publishers Weekly Katherina Hetzeldorfer, tried “for a crime that didn't have a name” (same sex sexual relations) and sentenced to death by drowning in 1477; Charles aka Mary Hamilton, publicly whipped for impersonating a man in eighteenth-century England; Clara, aka “Big Ben,” over whom two jealous women fought in 1926 New York: these are just three of the lives that the artist Ria Brodell has reclaimed for queer history in Butch Heroes. Brodell offers a series of twenty-eight portraits of forgotten but heroic figures, each accompanied by a brief biographical note. They are individuals who were assigned female at birth but whose gender presentation was more masculine than feminine, who did not want to enter into heterosexual marriage, and who often faced dire punishment for being themselves. Brodell's detailed and witty paintings are modeled on Catholic holy cards, slyly subverting a religious template. The portraits and the texts offer intriguing hints of lost lives: cats lounge in the background of domestic settings; one of the figures is said to have been employed variously as “a prophet, a soldier, or a textile worker”; another casually holds a lit cigarette. Brodell did extensive research for each portrait, piecing together a life from historical accounts, maps, journals, paintings, drawings, and photographs, finding the heroic in the forgotten.

Book The Imagined Immigrant

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ilaria Serra
  • Publisher : Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press
  • Release : 2009
  • ISBN : 0838641989
  • Pages : 315 pages

Download or read book The Imagined Immigrant written by Ilaria Serra and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using original sources--such as newspaper articles, silent movies, letters, autobiographies, and interviews--Ilaria Serra depicts a large tapestry of images that accompanied mass Italian migration to the U.S. at the turn of the twentieth century. She chooses to translate the Italian concept of immaginario with the Latin imago that felicitously blends the double English translation of the word as "imagery" and "imaginary." Imago is a complex knot of collective representations of the immigrant subject, a mental production that finds concrete expression; impalpable, yet real. The "imagined immigrant" walks alongside the real one in flesh and rags.

Book The Bedroom

    Book Details:
  • Author : Attilio Bertolucci
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 2012
  • ISBN : 9780982384930
  • Pages : 701 pages

Download or read book The Bedroom written by Attilio Bertolucci and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Bilingual Editon. Translated from the Italian by Luigi Bonaffini. THE BEDROOM [La camera da letto] is Bertolucci's best-known work, so popular that the poet once read it to television viewers on a seven-hour program. It is a narrative poem that traces the history of the poet's family across seven generations with directness, precision and attention to everyday details, major events and fantastic surprises. Paolo Lagazzi writes in his introduction: "THE BEDROOM is a sort of a multi-novel, or a distillation of very diverse narrative forms and intuitions: a Bildungsroman and fairytale, an epoch novel, a novel-chronicle, a dramatic novel and a picaresque novel. An experimental work in the most authentic sense of the word..." "Nothing of time's essence escapes or is neglected by the author's ravenous sensibility, no less active in recording the multiple places in which existence rests (the city and the countryside, the sea and the plane, the Po river and the Maremma) in an exuberant display of forms, lights, perspectives, tonalities."—Luigi Ferrara
