Download or read book The Land Beyond the Horizon An African Mystic Play and Poetry written by Mark O'Doherty and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Land beyond the Horizon is a mystic play, conveying respect and understanding for diversity of religion, philosophy and spirituality. It also contains elements of Egyptian mythology and Rosicrucian philosophy, like the altruistic ideal of Bringing back the Greater Light to humanity _ which is in essence not much different from the ideal of world peace. In fact, The Land beyond the Horizon in this play symbolises just that; the long and difficult journey which humanity still has to travel, before global peace can be manifested; on a collective, macrocosmic level level, and also on an individual level. The play stipulates the philosophy that Evil exists in this world _ and even in our hearts _ but that we also have the power to vanquish Evil , by acting together in solidarity, if we are willing to identify and confront that evil. The volume also contains poetry, where Mark evokes the mystic, primordial beauty of Africa, taking you on a fantastic journey to the Land Beyond the Horizon
Download or read book Reading with a Passion written by Jeffrey Staley and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this strikingly personal account of recent literary approaches to the Bible, Jeffrey Staley shows how people's life experiences relate to what they read in the Scriptures. He illustrates his argument from theories of autobiography, where recent literary and feminist critiques provide him with tools for reflecting upon his childhood on a Navajo reservation and his family's five generations of contact with the Navajo people in northern Arizona and New Mexico.Using Tony Hillerman's popular detective novels as a lens to refract his own childhood memories, Staley investigates how his cross-cultural childhood and family history have contributed to his understanding of the Fourth Gospel.By combining such diverse materials as popular fiction, medieval passion plays, cultural anthropology, rhetorical studies, and autobiographical reflection, Staley takes his readers on a fascinating spiritual and intellectual journey through the Gospel of John.

Download or read book IN THE SHADOWS OF THE MORNING ESSAYS ON written by Philip Caputo and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Caputo's passion for travel and adventure was inspired by the works of Joseph Conrad, Jack London, and Herman Melville, and through the years this passion led to a rugged writer's life, filled with hair-raising experiences in the jungles of Vietnam, the rubble of Beirut, and the savannas of Africa. In the Shadows of the Morning collects Caputo's essays for the first time, each imbued with the powerful and memorable writing for which he has become so well known. In "The Ahab Complex," Caputo recalls a life-and-death struggle with a majestic giant blue marlin off the coast of Florida whose quarter-ton body "lit up as if a gigantic light had flashed in the water." He recounts his travels in Kenya's largest national park among the only lions to have a natural tendency to stalk and eat human beings, and where the accounts of their gruesome escapades invaded his dreams. In the title piece, he reflects on a harrowing trip down the Alaskan river that nearly claimed his son's life, nature's indifference to human loss, and an evocative account of letting go. In the Shadows of the Morning is a fascinating journey through a lifetime of profound experiences. Adventurers and lovers of great writing will welcome this collection of finely crafted essays by one of America's most gifted writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization seems to be making nation-states increasingly irrelevant, yet their number has continued to grow. New nation-states emerged out of the ruins of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia; more still may come as Palestinians, Kurds, Chechens, and other peoples struggle tenaciously to establish their own. Through careful analysis White examines the origins, evolutions, and relationships of the world's nation-states to provide a better understanding of their interactions and conflicts.

Download or read book Gods of a Nameless Country written by Jeffrey Thomas and published by JournalStone. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, the land its people know only as the Unnamed Country has remained hidden from the eyes and minds of the rest of the world by dense jungles and formidable mountains. And within those jungles and mountains lurk mysterious and terrifying creatures: jade-green tigers, frighteningly intelligent wild pigs, and shadow people that may just be the precursor to human beings. Caught between their ancient history and the uncertainties of the future, the people who dwell there are ruled over by Ten Jeweled Gods…and the Ten Demon Lords of Hell. Acclaim for Jeffrey Thomas’s Unnamed Country stories: “This is a modern classic of writing about another country or culture on the level of Lafcadio Hearn or Italo Calvino. It belongs on the shelf of any, and every, bookstore in any airport with a flight to Southeast Asia. Its stories are disturbing, insightful, macabre, vivid, grotesque, propulsive, engaging and endlessly inventive.” —Paul StJohn Mackintosh, greydogtales, on The Unnamed Country. “Jeffrey Thomas’s unique flair for the unspeakable never shines brighter than when he visits the Southeast Asia of his dreams, and nowhere does he delve deeper into that strange green country than here.” —Cody Goodfellow, author of Vertical, on Scenes From a Village. “If you know something about Jeffrey Thomas’s fiction, you’ll know that when he’s not writing Weird SF stories set in the infamous and crime-ridden Punktown he sometimes explores “the unnamed country.” This country resembles the Viet Nam that Thomas has frequently visited, but…Viet Nam as seen through a lens slightly distorted by, or perhaps slightly sharpened by, imagination.” —Brian Evenson, from his introduction to The Spirit of Place.
