Book excerpt: To the Greeks, their gods and heroes were the encounter with the divine as well as true history. By means of myths, the Greeks stamped with authenticity their names, their land, their customs, their very existence. Thus the myths remain an open window through which we can look upon our forefathers and the ways they imagined themselves. Their stories reflect a nuanced morality that integrated same-sex love with spiritual teachings. By turn heroic, cautionary or shamanic, they always maintain the dignified cadence of ancient epic. The myths proclaim that self-indulgence, betrayal and violence are to be despised, and that love is the highest good.

Download or read book Agnon s Moonstruck Lovers written by Ilana Pardes and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agnon's Moonstruck Lovers explores the response of Israel’s Nobel laureate S. Y. Agnon to the privileged position of the Song of Songs in Israeli culture. Standing at a unique crossroads between religion and secularism, Agnon probes the paradoxes and ambiguities of the Zionist hermeneutic project. In adopting the Song, Zionist interpreters sought to return to the erotic, pastoral landscapes of biblical times. Their quest for a new, uplifting, secular literalism, however, could not efface the haunting impact of allegorical configurations of love. With superb irony, Agnon's tales recast Israeli biblicism as a peculiar chapter within the ever-surprising history of biblical exegesis.

Download or read book Unbound A Novel in Verse written by Ann E. Burg and published by Scholastic Inc.. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of All the Broken Pieces and Serafina's Promise comes a breathtaking new novel that is her most transcendent and widely accessible work to date. The day Grace is called from the slave cabins to work in the Big House, Mama makes her promise to keep her eyes down. Uncle Jim warns her to keep her thoughts tucked private in her mind or they could bring a whole lot of trouble and pain. But the more Grace sees of the heartless Master and hateful Missus, the more a rightiness voice clamors in her head-asking how come white folks can own other people, sell them on the auction block, and separate families forever. When that voice escapes without warning, it sets off a terrible chain of events that prove Uncle Jim's words true. Suddenly, Grace and her family must flee deep into the woods, where they brave deadly animals, slave patrollers, and the uncertainty of ever finding freedom. With candor and compassion, Ann E. Burg sheds light on a startling chapter of American history--the remarkable story of runaways who sought sanctuary in the Great Dismal Swamp--and creates a powerful testament to the right of every human to be free.
