Download or read book El Monstruo written by John Ross and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Ross has been living in the old colonial quarter of Mexico City for the last three decades, a rebel journalist covering Mexico and the region from the bottom up. He is filled with a gnawing sense that his beloved Mexico City's days as the most gargantuan, chaotic, crime-ridden, toxically contaminated urban stain in the western world are doomed, and the monster he has grown to know and love through a quarter century of reporting on its foibles and tragedies and blight will be globalized into one more McCity. El Monstruo is a defense of place and the history of that place. No one has told the gritty, vibrant histories of this city of 23 million faceless souls from the ground up, listened to the stories of those who have not been crushed, deconstructed the Monstruo's very monstrousness, and lived to tell its secrets. In El Monstruo, Ross now does.

This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marie Magdalen's Funerall Teares for the Death of Our Saviour Robert Southwell was a Catholic, and, what was still more criminal in the eyes of the English Government in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, he was a Jesuit. He was born about the year 1562, of a respectable Catholic family, at St. Faith's, in Norfolk, and was, at an early age, sent to the English College at Douay, for education. From Douay he went to Rome, and, at the age of six teen, was received into the order of the society of Jesus. Having finished his noviciate, and gone through his course of philosophy and divi nity with great credit, he was made Prefect of the studies of the English College at Rome. In 1584, he was sent as a missionary Priest into his native country, having, as he says, travelledfar and brought home a freight of spiritual sub stance to enrich his friends, and medicinable te ceipts against their ghostly maladies. Father Southwell continued in England, labouring dili gently in his function until the year 1529 when he was apprehended in a gentleman's house at Uxenden, in Middlesex, and committed to a dungeon in the tower, so noisome and filthy, that when he was brought out for examination, his clothes were covered with vermin. Upon this, his father presented a petition to Queen Elizabeth, begging, that if his son had commit ted any thing for which, by the laws, he had de served death, he might sufl'er death if not, as he was a gentleman, he hoped Her Majestywould be pleased to order that he should be treated as a gentleman. The Queen was graci ously pleased to listen to this prayer, and order ed that Southwell should have a better lodging, and that his father should have permission to supply him with clothes and other necessaries, together with the books he asked for, which were only the Bible, and the works of Saint Bernard. For three years was he kept in prison, and what was worse for himself and more dis graceful to the government, it is said, he was put to the rack ten several times. Wearied out with torture and solitary impri sonment, he at length applied to the Lord Trea surer Cecil, that he might either be brought totrial, to answer for himself, or, at least, that his friends might have leave to come and see him. To this application, if we are to believe the ac count of the Latin manuscript, which was for merly deposited in the archives of the English College at St. Omers, and of which a translation is given in Ulla-donor's Memoirs of Missionary Priests, the Lord Treasurer answered, that if he was in so much haste to be hanged, he should quickly have his desire. Shortly after this he was removed from the Tower to Newgate, where he was put down into the dungeon called limbo, and there kept for three days.

Download or read book Ecocritical Theology written by Joan Anderson Ashford and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literary field of ecocriticism appraises texts from the perspective of the natural world, its biosystems, its animals (human and otherwise), and its ecological interconnections. Exploring a range of contemporary American novelists whose narratives resonate with numerous ecological challenges, this work examines humankind's relationship with the environment in the context of Judeo-Christian theological views. It demonstrates how characters from novels such as John Updike's Rabbit Run, DeLillo's White Noise, Toni Morrison's Paradise, and Cormac McCarthy's The Road take neopastoral journeys to rediscover an innovative relationship with nature and religion. While some are successful, others turn away from the landscape's spirituality, retreating into technological inventions. The journeys of these fictional American heroes, this volume shows, mirror ongoing, theological, nuclear age convictions.
Download or read book Persuasion and Rhetoric written by Carlo Michelstaedter and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerson and Thoreau are the most celebrated odd couple of nineteenth-century American literature. Appearing to play the roles of benign mentor and eager disciple, they can also be seen as bitter rivals: America's foremost literary statesman, protective of his reputation, and an ambitious and sometimes refractory protege. The truth, Joel Porte maintains, is that Emerson and Thoreau were complementary literary geniuses, mutually inspiring and inspired. In this book of essays, Porte focuses on Emerson and Thoreau as writers. He traces their individual achievements and their points of intersection, arguing that both men, starting from a shared belief in the importance of self-culture, produced a body of writing that helped move a decidedly provincial New England readership into the broader arena of international culture. It is a book that will appeal to all readers interested in the writings of Emerson and Thoreau.

Download or read book Demon of the Lost Cause written by Wesley Moody and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the Civil War, Union general William Tecumseh Sherman was surprisingly more popular in the newly defeated South than he was in the North. Yet, only thirty years later, his name was synonymous with evil and destruction in the South, particularly as the creator and enactor of the “total war” policy. In Demon of the Lost Cause, Wesley Moody examines these perplexing contradictions and how they and others function in past and present myths about Sherman. Throughout this fascinating study of Sherman’s reputation, from his first public servant role as the major general for the state of California until his death in 1891, Moody explores why Sherman remains one of the most controversial figures in American history. Using contemporary newspaper accounts, Sherman’s letters and memoirs, as well as biographies of Sherman and histories of his times, Moody reveals that Sherman’s shifting reputation was formed by whoever controlled the message, whether it was the Lost Cause historians of the South, Sherman’s enemies in the North, or Sherman himself. With his famous “March to the Sea” in Georgia, the general became known for inventing a brutal warfare where the conflict is brought to the civilian population. In fact, many of Sherman’s actions were official tactics to be employed when dealing with guerrilla forces, yet Sherman never put an end to the talk of his innovative tactics and even added to the stories himself. Sherman knew he had enemies in the Union army and within the Republican elite who could and would jeopardize his position for their own gain. In fact, these were the same people who spread the word that Sherman was a Southern sympathizer following the war, helping to place the general in the South’s good graces. That all changed, however, when the Lost Cause historians began formulating revisions to the Civil War, as Sherman’s actions were the perfect explanation for why the South had lost. Demon of the Lost Cause reveals the machinations behind the Sherman myth and the reasons behind the acceptance of such myths, no matter who invented them. In the case of Sherman’s own mythmaking, Moody postulates that his motivation was to secure a military position to support his wife and children. For the other Sherman mythmakers, personal or political gain was typically the rationale behind the stories they told and believed. In tracing Sherman’s ever-changing reputation, Moody sheds light on current and past understanding of the Civil War through the lens of one of its most controversial figures.
