Download or read book The Life of God as Told by Himself written by Franco Ferrucci and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Blessed are the readers, for this tale of God’s long insomnia will keep them happily awake . . . An extraordinary story.” —Umberto Eco, international bestselling, award-winning author At the center of Franco Ferrucci’s inspired novel is a tender, troubled God. In the beginning is God’s solitude, and because God is lonely he creates the world. He falls in love with earth, plunges into the oceans, lives as plant and reptile and bird. His every thought and mood serve to populate the planet, with consequences that run away from him—sometimes delightfully, sometimes unfortunately. When a new arrival emerges from the apes, God believes he has finally found the companion he needs to help him make sense of his unruly creation. Yet, as the centuries pass, God feels more and more out of place in the world he has created; by the close of his memoir, he is packing his bags. Highly praised and widely reviewed, The Life of God is a playful, wondrous, and irresistible book, recounting thousands of years of religious and philosophical thought. “‘God’s only excuse is that he does not exist,’ wrote Stendhal, but now Franco Ferrucci has provided the Supreme Being with another sort of alibi.” —James Morrow, The Washington Post Book World “The Life of God is, in truth, the synthesis of a charming writer’s . . . expression of his boundless hopes for, and poignant disappointments in, his own human kind.” —Jack Miles, The New York Times Book Review “Rather endearing . . . This exceedingly amusing novel . . . is a continuous provocation and delight; there isn’t a dull page in it.” —Kirkus Reviews
Download or read book God s Mountain written by Erri De Luca and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-12-03 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story told by a boy in his thirteenth year, recorded in his secret diary. His life is about to change; his world, about to open. He lives in Montedidio—God’s Mountain—a cluster of alleys in the heart of Naples. He brings a paycheck home every Saturday from Mast’Errico’s carpentry workshop where he sweeps the floor. He is on his way to becoming a man—his boy’s voice is abandoning him. His wooden boomerang is neither toy nor tool, but something in between. Then there is Maria, the thirteen-year-old girl who lives above him and, like so many girls, is wiser than he. She carries the burden of a secret life herself. She’ll speak to him for the first time this summer. There is also his friendship with a cobbler named Rafaniello, a Jewish refugee who has escaped the horrors of the Holocaust, who has no idea how long he’s been on this earth, and who is said to sprout wings for a blessed few. It is 1963, a young man’s summer of discovery. A time for a boy with innocent hands and a pure heart to look beyond the ordinary in everyday things to see the far-reaching landscape, and all of its possibilities, from a rooftop terrace on God’s Mountain.

Download or read book Massime Eterne written by sant' Alfonso Maria de Liguori and published by Editrice Shalom. This book was released on 2024-04-19 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dire “Massime Eterne” è come dire «il Libro di sant’Alfonso»! In esso egli condensa la sostanza della sua ininterrotta predicazione missionaria: il richiamo alle ultime realtà e all’eterno amore di Dio. Il libro, che si presenta come un manuale di preghiera che raccoglie testi di celebrazioni liturgiche, pratiche di pietà, riflessioni e meditazioni, era molto caro a sant’Alfonso M. De Liguori, tanto che lo distribuiva e lo faceva distribuire a larghe mani. Ne curò la revisione e la ristampa personalmente. Alle meditazioni sulla passione di Gesù Cristo seguono le meditazioni sulle Massime Eterne, vero gioiello di contemplazione della misericordia di Dio per l’uomo e alimento per i credenti di fiduciosa speranza. Oltre alle preghiere del cristiano, sono state aggiunte alcune pie pratiche di devozione e preghiere, desunte preferibilmente dalle opere dello stesso Santo. Ne risulta così un piccolo manuale di meditazione e di preghiera che risponde alle attese di molti cristiani di oggi. • Contiene: le preghiere e verità del cristiano; i sacramenti: Penitenza, Eucaristia e Unzione degli infermi; la passione di Gesù; il sacro cuore; preghiere per i defunti e in onore dei santi; meditazioni sulle Massime Eterne. • Adattato in lingua corrente. • Caratteri grandi per facilitare la lettura.
