This book was released on 1993 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available for the first time in English, THE SPIRITUAL CONQUEST is a moving first-hand account of the early days of one of history's most remarkable social experiments, the Paraguay Reductions. In the early 1600's, a handful of unarmed members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) penetrated the forests of present-day Paraguay & surrounding territories, & gathered tens of thousands of semi-nomadic Indians into large & prosperous towns. After flourishing for nearly 150 years both materially & artistically with their Jesuit mentors, these oases of independent Christian Indian civilization fell victim to European colonists' violence & rapacity. De Montoya's book is a fundamental & frequently cited document of South American history & ethnography. He vividly evokes the vast country he describes: its forests, its mighty rivers, its wild animals, its varied native peoples. He tells of the Jesuit efforts to establish their Christian towns, the opposition of both European colonists & native chiefs & sorcerers; he depicts the naive piety of the Indian converts, the frequent occurrences of the supernatural, the ever-present reality of cannibalism , the grim fact of martyrdom, the day-to-day life of the indigenous people & of the Jesuits.

Download or read book The Jesuit Missions of Paraguay and a Cultural History of Utopia (1568–1789) written by Girolamo Imbruglia and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jesuit Missions of Paraguay and a Cultural History of Utopia (1568–1789) explores the religious foundations of the Jesuit missions in Paraguay, and the discussion of the missionary experience in the public opinion of early modern Europe, from Montaigne to Diderot. This book presents a wealth of documentation to highlight three key aspects of this debate: the relationship between civilisation and religion, between religion and political imagination, and between utopia and history. Girolamo Imbruglia's analysis of the Jesuits' own narrative reveals that the idea and the practice of mission have been one of the essential features of the European identity, and of the shaping modern political thought.

Download or read book A Vanished Arcadi written by R. B. Cunninghame Graham and published by . This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an idealist, Graham was drawn to the history of the Jesuit missions in Paraguay -- a period known as one of the golden ages of mankind. Protecting their Guarani Indian charges from slave raids from both the Spanish and the Portuguese, the missionaries built up a civilization isolated from the rest of the world and protected it fairly successfully for a century and a half until a Spanish fellow enforced the expulsion of the Jesuit order from South America. The film "The Mission" was loosely based on Graham's book and, although it took liberties with the story, was basically sympathetic to the author's feeling for the Jesuits and their Indian charges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Science in the Vanished Miguel de Asúa provides the first modern comprehensive account of Jesuit science in the missions of Paraguay and the River Plate region during the 17th and 18th centuries. Focusing on individual Jesuits and underlining the relationships of their work to the religious goals of the Society of Jesus, the book covers the disciplines of natural history, cartography, medical botany, astronomy and the topics pursued by the former missionaries in their Italian exile. Based on many so far unexplored manuscripts and a vast corpus of primary sources, the book argues the existence of a tradition of research on nature consistent with universal Jesuit science and at the same time original in its articulation of Western learning and aboriginal lore on nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For one brief shining hour there existed in the jungles of what is now Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, a marvelous civilization that stands today only in near-forgotten though still eloquent ruins. These were the Thirty Cities of the so-called "Jesuit Reductions", safe havens into which Jesuit missioners gathered primitive Indians to protect them from Portuguese slave traders and the depredations of the Spanish colonists. In a fantastically short time, the talents of these previously untrained people flowered into the building of a remarkable "world" of beauty and grace almost beyond belief, a world Voltaire called "in some way the triumph of humanity" and Chesterton called "a Paradise in Paraguay". Were it not for the mute testimony of the delicately carved statues and the ruins of noble churches, the whole story might seem beyond belief.
