Book excerpt: “Crisis, this next great Earth was gifted to them. An entire generation, silenced by situation, incubated.” In the shadow of an apocalyptic prophecy, a group of millennials inherits the ancient technology that creates new religions, and must decide when—and how—to change the world. Istanbul, yesterday: in a room above a shop selling swords made of stone, trinkets made of glass, and sacred souvenirs, the last of the trained saints decided to die. The only word on their suicide note? Muleykha. They were the Auromzed of the Ohm ce Alefa—the ancient, secret council that designed every religion known to humankind. Equipped with the technology that their ancestors dispersed in all corners of the globe, this circle has manufactured miracles, induced prophets, and guided morality through the rise and fall of every civilization on Earth. A new council ascends every 360 years, and muleykha is their most-heeded prophecy: that three women seated at their table of six will trigger the end of the world. Now, the heirs—an architect, a warrior, an archivist, an inventor, a businessman, and a budding physician—must make sense of their parents’ decision and pick up, untrained, where their elders left off. As they attend to their grief while devising a plan to address every crisis of the modern age, how much will what they do and don’t know undermine them? For fans of the themes in Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower, the inventions in Ted Chiang’s Exhalation, and the scope of Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy, Vestige: Book One merges elements of universal heritage with avant-garde world-building to deliver a cathartic—and at times humorous—speculative fiction commentary on how we survive our times.

Book excerpt: Before he can return to heaven, she must die. I can walk in the midday sun without melting, so people call me a witch. I’m not—just resistant to heat and cold, a gift I inherited from my mother. And if those morons want me to wield my powers to suck the fever from their sick family members, they should really stop calling me names. Sigh. I’m not popular around here, but I’m useful. However, since my sister’s murder, I can’t focus on my healing duties. I can’t shake the need for revenge. And when a cloaked man enters the infirmary, filling the doorway and glowing like a freaking sun God, I can’t look away. He recognizes me. His gaze licks me from head to toe. Some part of me remembers him too, but the memory slips through my fingers like smoke. Perhaps those rumors of magic are true. Perhaps this terrifying male nobody else can see really is a dark angel. Perhaps he murdered my sister. But his black eyes, hard body, and snaking magic look set to torture me with temptation. I just need to manifest some resistance to that.

Book excerpt: This book is a treasure house of Italian philosophy. Narrating and explaining the history of Italian philosophers from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, the author identifies the specificity, peculiarity, originality, and novelty of Italian philosophical thought in the men and women of the Renaissance. The vast intellectual output of the Renaissance can be traced back to a single philosophical stream beginning in Florence and fed by numerous converging human factors. This work offers historians and philosophers a vast survey and penetrating analysis of an intellectual tradition which has heretofore remained virtually unknown to the Anglophonic world of scholarship.

Book excerpt: On Pentecost Sunday, 24 May 2015, when Pope Francis issued Laudato Si': On Care for our Common Home. It broadened and deepened Catholic awareness and identity, encouraged dialogue with many sciences and disciplines while stimulating ecumenical and even interreligious collaboration and communication. This volume of essays looks at many aspects of an eco-theology and examines Pope Francis' Encyclical Laudato Si'. As the author writes: 'A fundamental sense of community is the first requirement of any effective ecological commitment and communion. But it is precisely on this level of community that increasing alienation has been most obvious. The distancing and disaffection of the human from nature, along with the violence and antagonism of human beings among themselves has long been the cause of alarm. Alliances have been formed along political, economic, racial, sexual, cultural, and religious lines. Political, economic, and social superstructures have evolved to serve an alienating situation; the common good is at best understood as a compromise amongst competing groups of self-interest and greed. In such a context, ecology can easily restrict its aims to environmentalism and merely landscaping areas of poisoned earth.' 'How might the Eucharist shape an ecological vision? It brings nature and culture together in a unique way, bringing together what is too often kept apart in referring to, say, nature and culture, person and community, creation and the Creator. ' 'The Eucharist as holy communion also brings together many gifts and many forms of giving. From nature's giving we have the grain and the grapes. From the giving expressed in human work and skill, we have the gifts of bread and wine. From the generous giving of family and friends flow the gifts of good meals and festive celebrations. From Jesus' self-giving at the Last Supper, the disciples were given his "body and blood", the food and drink to nourish life in him. After his resurrection, his giving continues as he breathes into his disciples his Holy Spirit. And working in and through all these gifts and kinds of giving, there is the gift of the Father who so loved the world.'

Download or read book Portrait of Beatrice written by Fabio Camilletti and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2019-03-30 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Portrait of Beatrice examines both Dante's and D. G. Rossetti's intellectual experiences in the light of a common concern about visuality. Both render, in different times and contexts, something that resists clear representation, be it the divine beauty of the angel-women or the depiction of the painter's own interiority in a secularized age. By analyzing Dante's Vita Nova alongside Rossetti's Hand and Soul and St. Agnes of Intercession, which inaugurates the Victorian genre of 'imaginary portrait' tales, this book examines how Dante and Rossetti explore the tension between word and image by creating 'imaginary portraits.' The imaginary portrait—Dante's sketched angel appearing in the Vita Nova or the paintings evoked in Rossetti's narratives—is not (only) a non-existent artwork: it is an artwork whose existence lies elsewhere, in the words alluding to its inexpressible quality. At the same time, thinking of Beatrice as an 'imaginary Lady' enables us to move beyond the debate about her actual existence. Rather, it allows us to focus on her reality as a miracle made into flesh, which language seeks incessantly to grasp. Thus, the intergenerational dialogue between Dante and Rossetti—and between thirteenth and nineteenth centuries, literature and painting, Italy and England—takes place between different media, oscillating between representation and denial, mimesis and difference, concealment and performance. From medieval Florence to Victorian London, Beatrice's 'imaginary portrait' touches upon the intertwinement of desire, poetry, and art-making in Western culture.
