Download or read book His Only Son written by Leopoldo Alas and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unlikely hero of His Only Son, Bonifacio Reyes, is a romantic and a flautist by vocation—and a failed clerk and kept husband by necessity—who dreams of a novelesque life. Tied to his shrill and sickly wife by her purse strings, he enters timidly into a love affair with Serafina, a seductive second-rate opera singer, encouraged by her manager who mistakes Bonifacio for a potential patron. Meanwhile, Bonifacio’s wife experiences a parallel awakening and in the midst of a long-barren marriage, surprises them both with a son—but is it Bonifacio’s? In the accompanying novella, Doña Berta, the heroine of the title, an aged, poor, but well-born woman, forfeits her beloved estate in search of a portrait that may be all that remains of the secret love of her life. While largely unknown outside of Spain, Leopoldo Alas was one of the most celebrated writers of criticism in nineteenth-century Spain and employed his satirical talents to powerful and humorous effect in fiction. His Only Son was Alas’s second and final novel, full of characteristic humor, naturalistic detail, descriptive beauty, and moral complexity. His frail and pitiful characters—irrational, emotional actors drawn inexorably toward their foolish fates—are yet multidimensional individuals, often conscious of their own weaknesses and stymied by their very yearnings to be more than the parts they find themselves playing.
Download or read book The Only Son written by Stéphane Audeguy and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2008 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Francois' story is a fascinating portrait of revolutionary Paris. Unlike Jean-Jacques, who extolled the virtues of the natural man, Francois celebrates the highly cultivated pleasures of the libertine. As he recalls the sights, sounds, and predilections of the demimonde, he has much more on his mind than mere titillation. In its examination of the erotic interplay between the individual and society, the private and the public man, The Only Son is, in essence, the anti-Confessions - Francois Rousseau's own, decidedly different, portrait of human nature."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Trusting God written by Sharon Jaynes and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2011-12-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don’t have to understand God to trust him. “Just trust me.” Those are the words we often hear in movies just before something bad happens. And yet, we are told to trust God. In a culture where we tend to take control of our own lives, trusting God has become a religious platitude rather than a life-changing attitude. We say it, but do we really mean it? And what does trusting God really look like? Sharon, Mary, and Gwen—the Girlfriends in God ministry team—have been there. They’ve traveled the tough roads of life to discover the peace and power that comes from grabbing the hand of God and trusting his plan. The life stories they share bring laughter and sometimes tears, but always spiritual growth. Each of the 12-week sections concludes with a Bible study guide and journal page, inviting you to lock arms with Sharon, Mary, and Gwen and share with other women in a small group setting or to use individually in your own quiet time.
