Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugène Sue's 'The Mysteries of Paris' (Vol. 1-6) is a groundbreaking work of French literature that delves into the social issues and moral dilemmas of Paris in the 19th century. Through intricate plotlines and rich character development, Sue explores themes of poverty, crime, and redemption with a Dickensian flair. The vivid descriptions of the city's underworld and the juxtaposition of different social classes make this novel a compelling read for those interested in the societal dynamics of the time period. Sue's blend of melodrama and social commentary captivates readers and offers a glimpse into the darker corners of Parisian society. Eugène Sue, a former naval officer turned author, drew inspiration for 'The Mysteries of Paris' from his own experiences and observations of the plight of the poor in Paris. His background as a journalist and political activist also influenced his writing, giving the novel a sense of authenticity and urgency. Sue's commitment to social justice and his desire to shed light on the injustices of his time shine through in this monumental work. I highly recommend 'The Mysteries of Paris' to readers interested in exploring the underbelly of 19th-century Paris and the social issues that plagued the city. Sue's masterful storytelling and thought-provoking themes make this novel a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.

Download or read book Emotional monasticism written by Lauren Mancia and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-14 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medievalists have long taught that highly emotional Christian devotion, often called ‘affective piety’, appeared in Europe after the twelfth century and was primarily practiced by communities of mendicants, lay people and women. Emotional monasticism challenges this view. The first study of affective piety in an eleventh-century monastic context, it traces the early history of affective devotion through the life and works of the earliest known writer of emotional prayers, John of Fécamp, abbot of the Norman monastery of Fécamp from 1028–78. Exposing the early medieval monastic roots of later medieval affective piety, the book casts a new light on the devotional life of monks in Europe before the twelfth century and redefines how medievalists should teach the history of Christianity.
