Download or read book Voices from an Early American Convent written by Emily Clark and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1727, twelve nuns left France to establish a community of Ursuline nuns in New Orleans, the capital of the French colony of Louisiana. Notable for founding a school that educated all free girls, regardless of social rank, the Ursulines also ran an orphanage, administered the colony's military hospital, and sustained an aggressive program of catechesis among the enslaved population of colonial Louisiana. In Voices from an Early American Convent, Emily Clark extends the boundaries of early American women's history through the firsthand accounts of these remarkable French missionaries, in particular Marie Madeleine Hachard. These fascinating documents reveal women of determination, courage, and conviction, who chose to forgo the traditional European roles of wife and mother, embrace lives of public service, and forge a community among the diverse inhabitants -- enslaved and free -- who occupied early New Orleans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au moment où elle va rencontrer Jésus, Marie-Madeleine est dans tout l'éclat de sa jeunesse, dans toute la gloire de sa beauté. Elle vit sans frein, à bride abattue, elle est libre. Elle est hors-la-loi et s'en trouve fort bien. Autour d'elle, toute une société la condamne, et en premier lieu les gardiens de la loi, Scribes et Pharisiens, auxquels elle fait horreur. Elle récuse le jugement des juges. Libre, est-elle heureuse? Il y a toujours un moment de bonheur, quand on secoue le joug et qu'on le brise. Pour elle, le moment a peut-être duré longtemps. Les peintres, esclaves de leur oeil, l'ont toujours représentée avec une opulente chevelure blonde, un long manteau de pourpre, comme une impératrice. Elle est l'Impératrice des désirs. Heureuse, Marie-Madeleine l'était sans doute moins qu'elle ne voulait le paraître. Sinon, comment aurait-elle eu le courage, ou même l'idée, d'aller à la rencontre de Jésus, cherchant auprès de lui ce que nul homme ne lui avait jamais donné? Le père Bruckberger nous raconte de sa manière incomparable l'histoire de Marie-Madeleine dont il nous donne, comme dans Marie, mère de Jésus-Christ, une image originale et neuve: celle de la femme orgueilleuse dont le destin bascule, qui se soumet d'un coup et devient l'une des plus proches de Jésus.

Book excerpt: Ms. MacLean's debut novel illuminates the difficulty of racial identity and the chaos it can create. The narrative deftly investigates racism beyond simple black and white figures (Angela proves not "dark" enough for her black relatives, though most of the white world view her as black). Dotted with ghosts, sex scenes and ramblings in New Orleans and abroad, the story can be thrilling... an endless string of docile servants round out this astutely delicate dramatization of race relations. The story provides a worthwhile glimpse at how startling the answers to questions of heredity can be Kirkus review .

Download or read book Zayde written by Marie-Madeleine Lafayette and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standing at the critical juncture between traditional romance and early novelistic realism, Zayde is both the swan song of a literary tradition nearly two thousand years old and a harbinger of the modern psychological novel. Zayde unfolds during the long medieval struggle between Christians and Muslims for control of the Iberian Peninsula; Madame de Lafayette (1634-93) takes the reader on a Mediterranean tour typical of classical and seventeenth-century romances—from Catalonia to Cyprus and back again—with battles, prophecies, and shipwrecks dotting the crisscrossed paths of the book’s noble lovers. But where romance was long and episodic, Zayde possesses a magisterial architecture of suspense. Chaste and faithful heroines and heroes are replaced here by characters who are consumed by jealousy and unable to love happily. And, unlike in traditional romance, the reader is no longer simply expected to admire deeds of bravery and virtue, but instead is caught up in intense first-person testimony on the psychology of desire. Unavailable in English for more than two centuries, Zayde reemerges here in Nicholas Paige’s accessible and vibrant translation as a worthy representative of a once popular genre and will be welcomed by readers of French literature and students of the European novelistic tradition.
Download or read book La Femme de Gilles written by Madeleine Bourdouxhe and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A haunting, slim novel which has the mesmeric inevitability of a classical tragedy." --Independent on Sunday La Femme de Gilles tells the story of a fatal love triangle—written on the eve of World War II. Set among the dusty lanes and rolling valleys of rural 1930s Belgium, La Femme de Gilles is the tale of a young mother, Elisa, whose world is overturned when she discovers that her husband, Gilles, has fallen in love with her younger sister, Victorine. Devastated, Elisa unravels. As controlled as Elena Ferrante's The Days of Abandonment and as propulsive as Jenny Offill's Dept. of Speculation, La Femme de Gilles is a hauntingly contemporary story of desperation and lust and obsession, from an essential early-feminist writer. Just after her novel was first published in 1937, Madeleine Bourdouxhe disassociated herself from her publisher (which had been taken over by the Nazis) and spent most of World War II in Brussels, actively working for the resistance. Though she continued to write, her work was largely overlooked by history . . . until now.

Download or read book Madame Fourcade s Secret War written by Lynne Olson and published by Scribe Publications. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A WASHINGTON POST BOOK OF THE YEAR The little-known true story of the woman who headed the largest spy network in Vichy France during World War II. In 1941, a thirty-one-year-old Frenchwoman, a young mother born to privilege and known for her beauty and glamour, became the leader of Alliance, a vast Resistance organisation — the only woman to hold such a role. Brave, independent, and a lifelong rebel against her country’s conservative, patriarchal society, Marie-Madeleine Fourcade was temperamentally made for the job. No other French spy network lasted as long or supplied as much crucial intelligence as Alliance — and as a result, the Gestapo pursued its members relentlessly, capturing, torturing, and executing hundreds of its three thousand agents, including Fourcade’s own lover and many of her key spies. Fourcade herself lived on the run and was captured twice by the Nazis. Both times she managed to escape. Though so many of her agents died defending their country, Fourcade survived the occupation to become active in post-war French politics. Now, in a dramatic account of the war that split France in two and forced its people to live side by side with their hated German occupiers, Lynne Olson tells the fascinating story of a woman who stood up for her nation, her fellow citizens, and herself.
Download or read book Immortal Latin written by Marie-Madeleine Martin and published by . This book was released on 2022-01-21 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1964-65, the Roman Catholic Church brutally and almost universally abandoned the Latin language. This sparked a violent polemic in some places, with often superficial arguments. At that point, a French writer published a far-reaching study. The historian Marie-Madeleine Martin, former student of the École des Chartes and first female winner of the Grand Prix Gobert d'Histoire, developed the following argument: "We maintain that in this instance, the debate extends to every part of society, and beyond the purely religious terrain. It concerns the history of the world because Rome's least contested glory is its major contribution to universal civilization. Rome was not a nation, or did not remain as one for long. The empire it established reigned over East and West. Rome found the means to enable diverse peoples and civilizations to live together, thereby providing an enduring message which is valid for every human city." "In 1910 the great Italian writer Guglielmo Ferrero...noted: 'Rome's history, and hers alone, is universal, which is why she cannot be similar to dead empires.'" Certain chapters of Immortal Latin will arouse intense surprise in the reader: - the demonstration of Rome's role in what is called the primitive Greek church; - a completely new painting style, traced back to the Renaissance - beautiful seventeenth-century European frescos - the revelation of an attempted French liturgy on the eve of the French Revolution - ceaseless attacks against Latin in the last three centuries - the demonstration of Latin's character of UNIVERSALITY
Download or read book Marie Madeleine written by Christian Doumergue and published by . This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marie-Madeleine, qui fut le plus proche disciple de Jésus, suscita, après la disparition de ce dernier, une véritable hostilité chez certains disciples. Ceux-là lui reprochaient sa vision différente de l’enseignement du Christ. Lorsque ce courant grandit en puissance, la sainte fut condamnée à une véritable damnatio memoriæ qui la plongea dans l’oubli pour de longs siècles. A partir du VIIIe siècle, l’Eglise la sort de l’ombre mais réinvente sa figure. Elle l’investit notamment de nombreux traits empruntés à des déesses ou héroïnes païennes. Cette Marie-Madeleine recomposée s’est durablement imposée. Toutefois, de nombreuses découvertes archéologiques intervenues depuis la ?n du XVIIIe siècle permettent aujourd’hui d’approcher au plus près celle que certains textes condamnés par l’Eglise appelaient la «compagne du Christ» – compagne au sens spirituel du terme. On redécouvre une femme de haute condition, instruite dans la culture hellénistique, qui, plus que d’autres disciples, a compris le message christique dans sa portée philosophique et qui, pour cette raison, est devenue un des chefs de ?le du premier christianisme, avant d’être bafouée.
