Download or read book Lila Oprah s Book Club written by Marilynne Robinson and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award National Book Award Finalist A new American classic from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gilead and Housekeeping Marilynne Robinson, one of the greatest novelists of our time, returns to the town of Gilead in an unforgettable story of a girlhood lived on the fringes of society in fear, awe, and wonder. Lila, homeless and alone after years of roaming the countryside, steps inside a small-town Iowa church-the only available shelter from the rain-and ignites a romance and a debate that will reshape her life. She becomes the wife of a minister, John Ames, and begins a new existence while trying to make sense of the life that preceded her newfound security. Neglected as a toddler, Lila was rescued by Doll, a canny young drifter, and brought up by her in a hardscrabble childhood. Together they crafted a life on the run, living hand to mouth with nothing but their sisterly bond and a ragged blade to protect them. Despite bouts of petty violence and moments of desperation, their shared life was laced with moments of joy and love. When Lila arrives in Gilead, she struggles to reconcile the life of her makeshift family and their days of hardship with the gentle Christian worldview of her husband which paradoxically judges those she loves. Revisiting the beloved characters and setting of Robinson's Pulitzer Prize-winning Gilead and Home, a National Book Award finalist, Lila is a moving expression of the mysteries of existence that is destined to become an American classic.
Download or read book Dance of Divine Love written by Graham M. Schweig and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heart of this book is a dramatic love poem, the Rasa Lila, which is the ultimate focal point of one of the most treasured Sanskrit texts of India, the Bhagavata Purana. Judged a literary masterpiece by Indian and Western scholars alike, this work of poetic genius and soaring religious vision is one of the world's greatest sacred love stories and, as Graham Schweig clearly demonstrates, should be regarded as India's Song of Songs. The story presents the supreme deity as the youthful and amorous cowherd, Krishna, who joins his beloved maidens in an enchanting and celebratory "dance of divine love." Schweig introduces this work of exquisite poetry and profound theology to the Western world in the form of a luminous translation and erudite scholarly treatment. His book explores the historical context and literary genre of the work and elucidates the aesthetic and emotional richness of the composition, highlighting poignant details of this drama of divine love. Schweig illuminates the religious dimensions and ethical nuances of the drama, drawing widely from the commentaries and esoteric vision of masters of the Caitanya school of Vaishnavism, a prominent devotional Hindu tradition. Themes such as transcendence of death through love, the yoga of devotion, the contrast between worldly love and passionate love for God, and the dialectical tension between ethical boundaries and boundless love are presented. The final event of the Rasa dance, the author concludes, presents a dynamic symbol of supreme love that provides the basis for a theological vision of genuine religious pluralism.

Brooke’s instead there to look after his son, Benjie. Since it’s obvious Brooke isn’t Dustin’s type, she pushes away her attraction and moves on. That’s all fine… until Dustin turns the tables and decides he’s interested after all. But Brooke isn’t prepared to lower her guard, nor does she want to be a backup. Can Dustin woo her with his charms, or will he bumble the whole thing and miss out on the chance of something special? NOTE: Bumbled Love can be read as a standalone or after Fumbled Love (Reagan and Carter's story)

Download or read book The Streets Are Talking to Me written by Maria Frederika Malmström and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sophisticated book presents new theoretical and analytical insights into the momentous events in the Arab world that began in 2011 and, more importantly, into life and politics in the aftermath of these events. Focusing on the qualities of the sensory world, Maria Frederika Malmström explores the dramatic differences after the Egyptian revolution and their implications for society—the lack of sound in the floating landscape of Cairo after the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi, the role of material things in the sit-ins of 2013, the military evocation of masculinities (and the destruction of alternative ones), and how people experience pain, rage, disgust, euphoria, and passion in the body. While focused primarily on changes unfolding in Egypt, this study also investigates how materiality and affect provide new possibilities for examining societies in transition. A book of rare honesty and vulnerability, The Streets Are Talking to Me is a brilliant, unconventional, and self-conscious ethnography of the space where affect, material life, violence, political crisis, and masculinities meet one another.

Download or read book River of Love in an Age of Pollution written by David Haberman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated as an aquatic form of divinity for thousands of years, the Yamuna is one of India’s most sacred rivers. A prominent feature of north Indian culture, the Yamuna is conceptualized as a goddess flowing with liquid love—yet today it is severely polluted, the victim of fast-paced industrial development. This fascinating and beautifully written book investigates the stories, theology, and religious practices connected with this river goddess collected from texts written over several millennia, as well as from talks with pilgrims, priests, and worshippers who frequent the pilgrimage sites and temples located on her banks. David L. Haberman offers a detailed analysis of the environmental condition of the river and examines how religious practices are affected by its current pollution. He introduces Indian river environmentalism, a form of activism that is different in many ways from its western counterpart. River of Love in an Age of Pollution concludes with a consideration of the broader implications of the Yamuna’s plight and its effect on worldwide efforts to preserve our environment. Celebrated as an aquatic form of divinity for thousands of years, the Yamuna is one of India’s most sacred rivers.

Download or read book From 10 to 19 written by Cacá Aguirre and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 10 to 19 made me remember the movie Black butterfly, from director Brian Goodman, in which the character Paul, a writer – Antonio Banderas – says “All writing is a sacrifice”. By reading Cacá Aguirre’s book I felt what most writers feel when writing. Writing requires abdicating from daily moments and diving in a sea of dense moments, it is to give voice to feelings, knowledge, sensations, and ideas, through different characters from the author. It is to make oneself understood so that the readers get to understand why he writes that specific work. Cacá Aguirre publishes her adolescent truths through the journal, travelling companion from 10 to 19 years old, after 15 years. If we count that the first time she wrote she was 10 years old, 24 years has ran, enough time to present her confidante, what she could hear, as a contribution to those who think they are the only ones who have existential problems, a mess in the heard, a bunch of questions without answers and shame to ask. Writing a journal is a sacrifice. To tell even to a journal, even if it only hears, contentment, happiness, pleasures, enthusiasms, as well as adversities, afflictions, and dislike, is not easy. In short, the journal is sacrifice and relief to Cacá Aguirre and the adolescence is a moment in which the being becomes vulnerable, arbiter of themselves, not always condescending. Conflicts arise, burdens and often the exchange of one feeling for another, as of sadness for a false joy. It can replace the family of Cacá Aguirre, that although educated and attentive, did not get it, and by that, I am not requesting any, because everyone has flaws in raising children. And also correctness. The important thing is for the family to live sincere, unrestricted dialogues and not miss out the questions from kids and topics considered taboo.
