Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Netflix’s series adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude premieres December 11, 2024! One of the twentieth century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize–winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America. Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.

Download or read book One Hundred Years of Old Man Sage written by Jeffrey D. Anderson and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sherman Sage (ca. 1844?1943) was an unforgettable Arapaho man who witnessed profound change in his community and was one of the last to see the Plains black with buffalo. As a young warrior, Sage defended his band many times, raided enemy camps, saw the first houses go up in Denver, was present at Fort Laramie for the signing of the 1868 treaty, and witnessed Crazy Horse?s surrender. Later, he visited the Ghost Dance prophet Wovoka and became a link in the spread of the Ghost Dance religion to other Plains Indian tribes. As an elder, Old Man Sage was a respected, vigorous leader, walking miles to visit friends and family even in his nineties. One of the most interviewed Native Americans in the Old West, Sage was a wellspring of information for both Arapahos and outsiders about older tribal customs.ø ø Anthropologist Jeffrey D. Anderson gathered information about Sage?s long life from archives, interviews, recollections, and published sources and has here woven it into a compelling biography. We see different sides of Sage?how he followed a traditional Arapaho life path; what he learned about the Rocky Mountains and Plains; what he saw and did as outsiders invaded the Arapahos? homeland in the nineteenth century; how he adjusted, survived, and guided other Arapahos during the early reservation years; and how his legacy lives on today. The remembrances of Old Man Sage?s relatives and descendants of friends make apparent that his vision and guidance were not limited to his lifetime but remain vital today in the Northern Arapaho tribe.

It is designed for a full year course at the freshman or sophomore college level. The text is organized into four chapters. The first chapter is concerned with the set of all integers - positive, negative, and zero. It investigates properties of Z such as division algorithm, Euclidean algorithm, unique factorization, greatest common divisor, least common multiple, congruence, and radix representation. In chapter 2, additional axioms about Z were introduced and some of their consequences are discussed. The third chapter sets up terminologies about polynomials, solutions or roots of polynomial equations, and factorization of polynomials. Finally, chapter 4 studies logically simpler algebraic systems, known as "groups", algebraic objects with a single operation. The book is intended for students in the freshman and sophomore levels in college.
Download or read book Numbers of the Lord written by Mark David and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-02-07 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biblical numbers have spiritual meaning and this spiritual meaning can also be understood chronologically. How did the Wise Men, for example, know what the Star of Bethlehem meant when it appeared? Is there some formula to relate these numbers to time? The answer is yes. Biblical numbers are part of a brilliant system stating Gods blueprint of the history of His church and of the world. In some cases a code, utilizing the Golden Ratio, even dates the Biblical event recorded in the text in which the numbers are embedded: the birth of Christ for example. In other cases, the numbers project the time the events will occur and are chronological prophecies: the fall of Jerusalem to the Roman general Titus in 70 a.d. or the Moslems sacking New York City in 2001 (9/11). In all cases, this book elucidates the power of God to ordain Time in order to make the history of the world.

Download or read book 3 1 2 Days to Forever written by B. Craig Moore and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-08-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3 1/2 Days to Forever is the book that unlocks the secrets of the identity of Mystery Babylon which are hidden in the name and number (666) of the beast, all the while proving the meaning of the rapture. The sum total of which is written in a sealed timeline until now. Daniel the prophet and John the apostle both saw it, and understood it, and now it is time for you to know it. The Bible, the whole Bible is a clock which proves our story. This world's days as we know them come to their end. It is time for you to drop your religion and believe what God has been saying all this time. A story, the same story, written from the beginning (Genesis) to the end (Revelation). All having the same purpose. A proving of whose image will still be standing when the smoke clears. Remember, this is not an allegory this is literal. The sixth trump nuclear war comes (soon), the first of three great end-time battles that will end mankind's reign as kings with dominion over this earth. Know this, the name and the number of the beast are here right now. Be warned. Noah was a preacher of righteousness who proclaimed the end was coming, and no one believed him. Read this book and believe what the Bible says because when Jesus (the Bible) says something, it means something that makes sense, something that affects the whole world. When you understand who's who and who the witnesses are, everything becomes clear. 3 1/2 Days to Forever proves the Bible's timeline and reveals the final reasons this piece of the master (the Bible) was given to mankind. And that reason is so that we can all know when the Holy One of God will return. Not the day and hour but a specific timeline to things past, present, and future. We are the timekeepers.

Download or read book A Dark Direction written by Pastors Rob T. Lewis and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book written so people could get to know more about who Cain was, as most only know him as the man who killed his brother Abel. The book engages in a plausible forensic study of Cain's character and explores his humanity. This study is not dogmatic but provides probability to help determine who he may have been and how his life has impacted many. The writers used Scriptures to aid in mapping a possible psyche which led to the following questions: Was there a sibling rivalry? Was there possible animosity or jealousy? What was his childhood like, and how did he relate to his other siblings? Most importantly, what kind of relationship did he have with his twin brother, Abel? This book is not written as a rewrite of biblical Scripture or to create sympathy for Cain but written to explore his conceivable personality. Here is the case for Cain. You be the judge.
