Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jesuit Polymath of Madrid D. Scott Hendrickson offers the first English-language account of the life and work of Juan Eusebio Nieremberg (1595-1658), a leading intellectual in Spain during the turbulent decades of the mid-seventeenth century. Most remembered as a prominent ascetic in the neo-Platonic tradition, Nieremberg emerges here as a writer deeply indebted to the legacy of Ignatius Loyola and his Spiritual Exercises. Hendrickson convincingly shows how Nieremberg drew from his formation in the Jesuit order at the time of its first centenary to engage the cultural and intellectual currents of the Spanish Golden Age. As an author of some seventy-five works, which represent several genres and were translated throughout Europe and abroad, Nieremberg’s literary enterprise demands attention.

Book excerpt: Porque La VIDA, con mayúsculas, está llena de obstáculos para que puedas saltarlos. De cada experiencia vivida se aprende, mucho o poco, pero se aprende.... Una vida fácil, sin piedras en el camino, una línea recta... en la que sólo se nace, se crece y finalmente se muere, estaría vacía y sería tan absurdo, tan aburrido.... por eso la vida está diseñada de otro modo y no para día tras día, año tras año, de ponerte a prueba, con aquel gran susto, con aquel engaño, con aquella injusta y repentina muerte, con aquella amiga que crees que te falló ..... No son más que, pequeños problemas, pequeñas experiencias, pequeñas vivencias .... que vas sufriendo y llorando de una forma tan curiosamente exagerada, cuando aún no has aprendido. Es bueno reconocer, que cada uno de los sucesos que ocurren en nuestras vidas, son pérdidas pero a la vez ganancias. Y a medida que creces porque vives, te darás cuenta y comprenderás, que nada es tan importante, como la propia VIDA.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores two traditions of interpreting and manipulating nature in the early-modern and nineteenth-century Iberian world: one instrumental and imperial, the other patriotic and national. Imperial representations laid the ground for the epistemological transformations of the so-called Scientific Revolutions. The patriotic narratives lie at the core of the first modern representations of the racialized body, Humboldtian theories of biodistribution, and views of the landscape as a historical text representing different layers of historical memory.

Book excerpt: Con estos relatos anhelo resaltar lo bello y fantástico de la región, en memoria de aquellas personas que ya fueron una vez de ese lugar y en tiempo difícil de la época. Al mismo tiempo los que soportaron para abrirse camino en un mundo de dificultad. Aunque vinieron aportar y no anotarse como víctimas de un revés prevaleciente, además fueron como la misma fortuna que buscaron con afán, por esa causa, les decían "gringo sucio, una algarabía caminante". Pues la misma importancia del caso en el presente, serian bueno que echen mano de lo señalado. Y fueran a averiguar las Lápidas de las Tumbas de estos seres que una vez fueron habitantes y huéspedes fructíferos del pueblo de Avelín. Aunque confieso que a muchos le retrase lo que hicieron en vida, para no herir el sentimiento de sus descendientes, que además fueron mis amigos de infancia y que aún pueden estar viviendo en el lugar y sus alredores. Además sepan tomar como un afectuoso aporte literario, con el fin de enriquecer el pensamiento en cosas del pasado, que son los fundamentos de los presentes.

Download or read book Inventing the Sacred written by Andrew Keitt and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2005-09-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the Spanish Inquisition’s response to a host of self-proclaimed holy persons and miracle-working visionaries whose spiritual exploits garnered popular acclaim in seventeenth-century Spain. In an effort to control this groundswell of religious enthusiasm, the Spanish Inquisition began prosecuting the crime of feigned sanctity, attempting to distinguish “false saints” from their officially approved counterparts. Drawing on Inquisition trial records, confessors’ manuals, treatises on the discernment of spirits, and spiritual autobiographies, the book situates the problem of religious imposture in relation to the Catholic church’s campaigns of social discipline and confessionalization in the post-Tridentine era and analyzes the ways in which conceptual controversies in early modern demonology, medicine, and natural philosophy complicated the church’s disciplinary aims.

Download or read book The autos sacramentales of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz written by Alice Brooke and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1651-1695) was the most significant literary figure of the colonial period in Spanish America.The autos sacramentales, or Eucharistic plays are some of her least studied, and most perplexing works. While one of them, El divino Narciso, has received substantial scholarly attention, the other two, El cetro de José and El mártir del Sacramento, San Hermenegildo, have been critically neglected in Sor Juana studies. This study presents a full-length analysis of all three plays, along with their loas, or the introductory pieces alongside which they were intended to be performed. Furthermore, the study seeks to place these works in their philosophical and cultural context by exploring their engagement both with orthodox Catholic sacramental theology, and the emergence of empiricism and the New Philosophy across the Hispanic world. The three sections of this book each present significant new readings of the three plays. The study of El divino Narciso employs a previously little-known source to illuminate its Christological readings, as well as Sor Juana's engagement with notions of wit and conceptism. The analysis of El cetro de José explores her presentation of different approaches to perception to emphasise the importance of both the material and the transcendent to a holistic understanding of the Sacraments. The final section, on San Hermenegildo, explores the influence on the play of the Christianised Stoicism of Justus Lipsius, and demonstrates how Sor Juana used the work to attempt her most ambitious reconciliation of an empirical approach to natural philosophy and the material world with a Neostoic approach to Christian morality and orthodox Catholic sacramental theology.

Book excerpt: International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) 2010 Award Finalists in the Culinary History category. Chocolate. We all love it, but how much do we really know about it? In addition to pleasing palates since ancient times, chocolate has played an integral role in culture, society, religion, medicine, and economic development across the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe. In 1998, the Chocolate History Group was formed by the University of California, Davis, and Mars, Incorporated to document the fascinating story and history of chocolate. This book features fifty-seven essays representing research activities and contributions from more than 100 members of the group. These contributors draw from their backgrounds in such diverse fields as anthropology, archaeology, biochemistry, culinary arts, gender studies, engineering, history, linguistics, nutrition, and paleography. The result is an unparalleled, scholarly examination of chocolate, beginning with ancient pre-Columbian civilizations and ending with twenty-first-century reports. Here is a sampling of some of the fascinating topics explored inside the book: Ancient gods and Christian celebrations: chocolate and religion Chocolate and the Boston smallpox epidemic of 1764 Chocolate pots: reflections of cultures, values, and times Pirates, prizes, and profits: cocoa and early American east coast trade Blood, conflict, and faith: chocolate in the southeast and southwest borderlands of North America Chocolate in France: evolution of a luxury product Development of concept maps and the chocolate research portal Not only does this book offer careful documentation, it also features new and previously unpublished information and interpretations of chocolate history. Moreover, it offers a wealth of unusual and interesting facts and folklore about one of the world's favorite foods.

Book excerpt: ¿Tenemos realmente un destino escrito o elegimos cómo queremos vivir? Pregunta formulada por el hombre desde el principio de los tiempos. María, Javier, Bryan, Stephania, Johan, Crystal, Katherine y Sebastián: ocho jóvenes que viven sus vidas de acuerdo a las circunstancias que les han tocado. Ocho vidas reunidas por un plan mucho más grande que las suyas y que se entrelazarán de manera casual para formar un club que los unirá por siempre. Esta es una historia conmovedora impregnada de dolor, tristeza y frustración ante la existencia que a cada quien le correspondió llevar, pero también es una historia de esperanza, alegría, amor y reconciliación, al encontrar en aquellos que llegan a sus vidas, el apoyo y la luz que necesitan para salir adelante. Llega un punto en nuestras vidas donde nos damos cuenta de quien importa, quien no, y quien siempre será importante. Cuando los problemas amenazan la amistad, y la oscuridad nos hace perder de vista lo que realmente importa... sigue adelante, y hallarás una luz en el camino.
