Intelligent, ambitious and laugh-out loud-funny, Zetel: Biography of a Soul tells the satirical story of a rebel soul while juxtaposing the tragic events of World War II and the struggle of a Jewish family against the frivolous machinations of Heaven's forces.

Book excerpt: A frank examination of Aretha Franklin, Mark Bego's definitive biography traces her career accomplishments from her beginnings as a twelve-year-old member of a church choir in the early 1950s, to recording her first album at the age of fourteen and signing a major recording contract at eighteen, right up through untimely passing in 2018. Originally positioned to become a gospel star in her father's Detroit church, Aretha had a privileged urban upbringing; ;stars such as Mahalia Jackson, Dinah Washington, and Sam Cooke regularly visited her father, Rev.

UNIVERSALITY OF SOUL PRESENCE. Disembodied Beings Never Sleep -- They Witness Crime and Often Give Mortals Warning of Impending Danger The habitat of Incarnated Man--its continents and seas, its cities, its highways and byways--abounds with Disembodied Souls by whom all happenings in their chance vicinage are noted. Earthly evil doers are known. The cerebral crime-spawn of such while incubating is pervious to eyes that never sleep. There is no incertitude in their observations. The blow and the hand that delivers it are seen, and the intent even foreseen. The perpetrator, as he sheathes his knife and steals stealthily away to cover, fancies no one beheld his infamous act and feels therefore that he is secure. Far from it. They of the Palingenesis are alert and will enter the psychic sanctuary of the mystified sleuths of the law and by mode transpicuous to no mortal, awaken right suspicion, and the guilty, tracked to his hiding, shall pay penalty for his misdoing. O wretch with evil in thy heart, beware! Among the Immortals feud is not, machinations are not, nor are there manifestations of dark passions as in the finite world save in exceptional instances. Disembodied Souls rarely bring their rancor and dislikes this side of the Great Divide. A desire to redress wrongs endured in the terrene life is considered impious because usurping a prerogative of God. Says the August Judge, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay!" Even comminations are regarded as unbecoming and lowering to the exalted dignity of the Higher Life. And let the acclaim be trumpeted for the behoof of heedless Mortals, and foolish because heedless, that premonition of approaching disaster to them, nay, of Death itself, perchance, evolves from the Immortals and...

This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aretha Louise Franklin was born on March 25, 1942, in Memphis, the fourth child of the Reverend C.L. Franklin and his wife, Barbara Franklin. Her father was appointed to head the New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit and Aretha along with her siblings moved to Detroit with their father. By this time, her parents had separated due to her father's frequent philandering. Aretha and her siblings remained with their father, although Aretha has always insisted her mother did not abandon the children. Music and religion were a part of Aretha's natural heritage. Her father was a Baptist minister known for his golden voice. He became famous enough to have his sermons broadcast on the radio, which led to him organizing a traveling revival show. Young Aretha stood out in her father's choir. People noticed her voice immediately and she frequently sang solo. She also learned to play the piano by ear. At the age of 14, her solo renditions became a part of the nationwide recorded sermons and were heard by tens of thousands of listeners.

Download or read book Respect written by David Ritz and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of the Queen of Soul from acclaimed music writer David Ritz. Aretha Franklin began life as the golden daughter of a progressive and promiscuous Baptist preacher. Raised without her mother, she was a gospel prodigy who gave birth to two sons in her teens and left them and her native Detroit for New York, where she struggled to find her true voice. It was not until 1967, when a white Jewish producer insisted she return to her gospel-soul roots, that fame and fortune finally came via "Respect" and a rapidfire string of hits. She has evolved ever since, amidst personal tragedy, surprise Grammy performances, and career reinventions. Again and again, Aretha stubbornly finds a way to triumph over troubles, even as they continue to build. Her hold on the crown is tenacious, and in RESPECT, David Ritz gives us the definitive life of one of the greatest talents in all American culture.

Download or read book Poems of Guido Gezelle written by Paul Vincent and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bruges-born poet-priest Guido Gezelle(1830–1899) is generally considered one of the masters of nineteenth-century European lyric poetry. At the end of his life and in the first two decades of the twentieth century, Gezellewas hailed by the avant-garde as the founder of modern Flemish poetry. His unique voice was belatedly recognised in the Netherlands and often compared with his English contemporary Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889). In this bilingual anthology, award-winning translator Paul Vincent selects a representative picture of Gezelle’soutput, from devotional through narrative, to celebratory and expressionistic. Gezelle’sfavourite themes are childhood, the Flemish landscape, friendship, nature, religion and the Flemish vernacular, and his apparently simple poems conceal a sophisticated prosody and a dialogue with spiritual and literary tradition.However, an important barrier to wider international recognition of his lyric genius up to now has been the absence of translations that do justice to the vigour and musicality of Gezelle’sWest Flemish idiom. Two of the translations included go some way to redressing the balance: ‘TheWatter-Scriever’ by Scotland’s national poet Edwin Morgan and ‘A Little Leaf . . .’ by Francis Jones. Both translators make brilliant use of their own vernaculars (Glaswegian and North Yorkshire respectively) to bring Gezelleto life for the non-Dutch-speaking reader.

Download or read book Wild Talents written by Charles Fort and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2006-11-01 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild Talents captures Charles Fort at his finest, most thought-provoking, and is considered his wittiest work. Containing accounts of--among numerous other bizarre topics--strange coincidences, vampires, werewolves, talking dogs, poltergeist activity, teleportation, witchcraft, vanishing people, spontaneous human combustion, and the escapades of the 'mad bats of Trinidad.' This is essential reading for those who want to learn about the early years of research into the myriad mysteries of this world and beyond. CHARLES HOY FORT (1874-1932), life-long naturalist and independent journalist, wrote ten novels, though only one, The Outcast Manufacturers (1906), was published in the U.S. - critics said it was ahead of its time, but it was commercially unsuccessful. His most recognized work, The Book of the Damned (1919), referred to "damned data" that Fort collected, phenomena for which science could not account and was thus rejected or ignored. Upon his death in 1932, more than 60,000 notes were donated to The New York Public Library.
