This book was released on 2019-10-28 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book tells the story of the YELLOW KINGDOM, a kingdom where wealth was not gold, silver and precious stones. The wealth was in the production of corn produced with abundance and quality. The kingdom was governed by King Edward and Queen Silvia. The kingdom was very prosperous, and everyone lived a good welfare. King Edward was very human and fair and had the loyalty and dedication of all his subjects. The royal couple had two children - Princess Lidia, loved by her subjects for her social work, and Prince Claudius, arrogant, insensitive, and hated by his subjects, who just had fun and had no useful or productive activity. With the death of the royal couple, Prince Claudius becomes the new king. And the Yellow Kingdom underwent terrible transformations under his reign, and the subjects knew what poverty and suffering were. The new king no longer encouraged the production of the kingdom s greatest wealth, maize, and spent the accumulated wealth in the silos. When the stocked corn ran out, he found himself in poverty. Finally, the new king was forced to sell the castle to a hard-working, persevering peasant, who made a fortune by planting the twelve grains of corn received as alms from the once arrogant prince. This peasant bought the castle, married Princess Lydia, who was proclaimed the new Queen of the YELLOW KINGDOM. And peace and prosperity returned to the kingdom. As for the now subject Claudius, the story holds a surprise at the end.

This book was released on 2024-06-24 with total page 723 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a mystical world still recovering from a great war, where generations of countless species suffered, a very pretty, albeit apathetic, child prince is haunted by a malicious shadow monster and unable to connect with those around him. As the young prince slowly grows, his eccentric father, the immature king, devises a plan to get his son a friend, and a local festival competition lands a peasant boy the grand prize of the prince himself. The peasant boy, Rar, has struggles of his own, being only half human in a society of humans. While being constantly surrounded by those who hate him for being a delida halfling, Rar is shocked, disappointed, and angry when he finds out that his "marvelous prize" is the prince. Rar's worries of being the prince's pet quickly fade after he discovers that the cold-seeming prince cares a lot more than he seems, and the two quickly become best friends. Prince Lucius and Rar have lots of fun together, even with the Shadow Monster clinging to the prince, and a mysterious Dark Figure following the two around. The Dark Figure appears everywhere and, although more often than not is unseen and unheard by the two boys, seems to have more than a hand involved with the world around them. After a massive festering flesh monster attacks, Rar starts to accept the fact that even though Prince Lucius is a boy, he still has feelings for him. But how do you tell your best friend you like them? Especially when everyone knows that princes like princesses, not peasant boys? Then two princes from a neighboring kingdom visit Prince Lucius; is Rar being replaced? With social structures, judgmental jesters, worried mothers, and an endlessly disappearing-reappearing Dark Figure, will the two friends manage to stay friends or possibly even find love within their friendship, or will the two end up meeting a fate far worse than death?
Download or read book The Peasant of the Garonne written by Jacques Maritain and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At eighty-five, Jacques Maritain, the most distinguished Catholic philosopher of the twentieth century, has written what he offers as his last book, and it turns out to be a shocker. The "peasant," as Maritain calls himself in the title, is a man who calls a spade a spade; and a storm of controversy descended immediately on the book's publication in France, as both Right and Left reeled from the force of Maritain's criticism. The Peasant of the Garonne is a sharp attack on the "new philosophy," hoping to cool off the fever for change that Maritain believes is imperiling the church's traditional spirituality and even the substance of doctrine. There is sardonic humor in his treatment of Teilhardians, phenomenologists, existentialists, new-style biblical critics, and clerical Freudians, but Maritain is deeply serious in warning that their capitulation to fashioniable trends represents a kind of "kneeling before the world."

Download or read book Martin Luther s Theology of Two Kingdoms in Buddhist and Christian Communities written by Pa Yaw and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Socially engaged religion teaches that people of faith have a responsibility to address and reduce suffering in all its forms, both physical and spiritual, including suffering resulting from social injustice, exploitation, oppression, false faith, and so forth. True religion engages with society to alleviate suffering and bring transformation. In other words, religious violence is an obscenity, a deviation from the true character of religion. Martin Luther's Theology of Two Kingdoms in Buddhist and Christian Communities examines the principle of separation between religion and politics in the context of both Buddhist and Christian communities. In predominantly Buddhist contexts such as Myanmar, where a reciprocal relationship between religion and politics is expected, separation is not effective. Attempts by Christians to separate religion and politics cause the church to run away from tyranny and follow the state with blind obedience. Martin Luther’s model of two distinct but interconnected systems for religion and politics creates space for each institution to give constructive advice and criticism to the other for the health of all human beings.

Download or read book The Return of the Peasant written by A.L. Cartwright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. Of the many far reaching issues facing post-communist states in the wake of the collapse of communist rule, few have continued to pose such dilemmas for future progress as the land question. This book provides a historical account of national and local attempts to reform land ownership and agricultural production and in particular, the way in which land law defined the land question. Using archive work to demonstrate the selectivity of the law in righting wrongs and case studies to illustrate the practical obstacles to attempts at reconstructing the pre-communist system, this work is a critical and detailed portrait of the forces that stand to shape the future of post-communist rural life.
Download or read book The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom written by Thomas H. Reilly and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occupying much of imperial China’s Yangzi River heartland and costing more than twenty million lives, the Taiping Rebellion (1851-64) was no ordinary peasant revolt. What most distinguished this dramatic upheaval from earlier rebellions were the spiritual beliefs of the rebels. The core of the Taiping faith focused on the belief that Shangdi, the high God of classical China, had chosen the Taiping leader, Hong Xiuquan, to establish his Heavenly Kingdom on Earth. How were the Taiping rebels, professing this new creed, able to mount their rebellion and recruit multitudes of followers in their sweep through the empire? Thomas Reilly argues that the Taiping faith, although kindled by Protestant sources, developed into a dynamic new Chinese religion whose conception of its sovereign deity challenged the legitimacy of the Chinese empire. The Taiping rebels denounced the divine pretensions of the imperial title and the sacred character of the imperial office as blasphemous usurpations of Shangdi’s title and position. In place of the imperial institution, the rebels called for restoration of the classical system of kingship. Previous rebellions had declared their contemporary dynasties corrupt and therefore in need of revival; the Taiping, by contrast, branded the entire imperial order blasphemous and in need of replacement. In this study, Reilly emphasizes the Christian elements of the Taiping faith, showing how Protestant missionaries built on earlier Catholic efforts to translate Christianity into a Chinese idiom. Prior studies of the rebellion have failed to appreciate how Hong Xiuquan’s interpretation of Christianity connected the Taiping faith to an imperial Chinese cultural and religious context. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom shows how the Bible--in particular, a Chinese translation of the Old Testament--profoundly influenced Hong and his followers, leading them to understand the first three of the Ten Commandments as an indictment of the imperial order. The rebels thus sought to destroy imperial culture along with its institutions and Confucian underpinnings, all of which they regarded as blasphemous. Strongly iconoclastic, the Taiping followers smashed religious statues and imperially approved icons throughout the lands they conquered. By such actions the Taiping Rebellion transformed--at least for its followers but to some extent for all Chinese--how Chinese people thought about religion, the imperial title and office, and the entire traditional imperial and Confucian order. This book makes a major contribution to the study of the Taiping Rebellion and to our understanding of the ideology of both the rebels and the traditional imperial order they opposed. It will appeal to scholars in the fields of Chinese history, religion, and culture and of Christian theology and church history.

Download or read book The Emperor and the Peasant written by Kenneth Janda and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was more to World War I than the Western Front. This history juxtaposes the experiences of a monarch and a peasant on the Eastern Front. Franz Josef I, emperor of Austria-Hungary, was the first European leader to declare war in 1914 and was the first to commence firing. Samuel Mozolak was a Slovak laborer who sailed to New York--and fathered twins, taken as babies (and U.S. citizens) to his home village--before being drafted into the Austro-Hungarian army and killed in combat. The author interprets the views of the war of Franz Josef and his contemporaries Kaiser Wilhelm II and Tsar Nicholas II. Mozolak's story depicts the life of a peasant in an army staffed by aristocrats, and also illustrates the pattern of East European immigration to America.
