Download or read book Encarnita's Journey written by Joan Lingard and published by Allison & Busby. This book was released on 2012-08-20 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is 1920 and the beautiful village of Yegen, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, awakens to a new year and two events that are to change the pueblo for ever: the birth of Encarnita, a beautiful dark-eyed girl; and the arrival of the British writer Gerald Brenan and his string of artistic and literary visitors, including Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey and Dora Carrington. Growing up in Yegen, and taught English by Brenan, the beautiful Encarnita longs for the world outside the small pueblo - the stories Brenan and his friends tell her spark her imagination. And so begins her long journey, from the Sierra to Edinburgh, where eighty years after her birth, she will have one last story to tell. Exquisitely written, Encarnita's Journey is a tale as beautiful as its Spanish setting, with touches of true insight into the lives of its literati cast and dark-eyed heroine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you at any time asked yourself why we are here? Do you believe in a superior being or in spirituality? Are we really the only ones that exist in the here and now? By reading "The Spiritual Journey" we will be reminded that, inside each one of us there is a treasure that is difficult to explain and that we have perhaps forgotten about. Some call it a spirit; others call it light, and others, energy. But if we look deep inside our minds and are brave enough to decide to listen to ourselves, perhaps we will realise that this treasure exists.

Book Synopsis Unsettling Nostalgia in Spain and Chile by : Lisa DiGiovanni
Download or read book Unsettling Nostalgia in Spain and Chile written by Lisa DiGiovanni and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-11-08 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unsettling Nostalgia in Spain and Chile: Longing for Resistance in Literature and Film reframes nostalgia to analyze how writers and filmmakers have responded to 20th-century dictatorial violence and loss in Spain and Chile. By reaching beyond reductive definitions that limit nostalgia to a conservative desire to defend traditional power hierarchies, Lisa DiGiovanni captures the complexity of a critically conscious type of longing and form of transmission that she terms “unsettling nostalgia.” Using literature and film, DiGiovanni illustrates how unsettling nostalgia imbues representations of pre-dictatorial mobilization during the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1939) and the Chilean Popular Unity (1970–1973), as well as depictions of clandestine resistance to the Franco dictatorship (1939–1975) and the Pinochet regime (1973–1989). Positive memories of efforts to upend power hierarchies coexist with retrospective critiques that fissure romanticized views of revolutionary struggle. Unsettling nostalgic works engender deeper understandings of the complexities of political movements and how stories of resistance are meaningful today. By calling attention to the parallels between nostalgic modes that resist multiple injustices based on gender, class, and sexuality, this book traces an evocative continuity between Spain and Chile that goes beyond the initial work that links forms of militaristic authoritarianism. Scholars of Latin American studies, film studies, literary studies, history, women's and gender studies, memory studies, and rhetoric will find this book particularly useful.

Download or read book The Kiss written by Joan Lingard and published by Allison & Busby. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cormac, born and brought up in Belfast, living now in Edinburgh with his wife and children, is an art teacher, an admirer of Rodin and a sculptor himself. When he tries to transmit his enthusiasm for Rodin to his students he finds his words tend to fall on stony ground, except when it comes to Clarinda Bain. Fifteen years old, beautiful and fiercely intelligent, Clarinda is his keenest and most ardent student. On a school trip to Paris she becomes obsessed by the work and life of Gwen John, in particular by her affair with Rodin. She then begins to mirror this relationship by becoming obsessed herself with her own mentor, which throws Cormac's life as a teacher and husband into confusion. Compelling and exquisitely written, The Kiss is a study of artistic and sexual obsession by a writer at the height of her powers.
Book Synopsis The Man of Villa Tevere by : Pilar Urbano
Download or read book The Man of Villa Tevere written by Pilar Urbano and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly translated from Spanish, The Man of Villa Tevere paints a remarkably vivid portrait of the day-to-day life of St. Josemaría Escrivá, “the saint of the ordinary.” Set in the world headquarters of Opus Dei and rich with anecdotes culled from the Founder’s contemporaries, this acclaimed biography chronicles the construction of the Roman center through Monsignor Escrivá's death there in 1975. When St. Josemaría arrived in Rome, nearly twenty years after founding Opus Dei, there was still much to be done and little was to come easily. Escrivá maintained that full canonical confirmation from the Catholic Church was imperative to the mission of Opus Dei, but he would not live to see that proclamation delivered. As a relatively young institution, Opus Dei was constantly challenged by limited funds, persecution, and St. Josemaría’s physical tribulations—including fifteen minutes during which he was clinically dead. Yet because he considered himself simply "a poor sinner, who loves Jesus Christ madly," no suffering was too great to be embraced with cheerfulness and sanctified for love of the Lord. And so it was from this place, from this man, that Opus Dei spread throughout the world. Pilar Urbano’s celebrated biography of St. Josemaría is now available for the first time in English, coinciding with the release of There Be Dragons, the much-anticipated film by Roland Joffe, featuring the life of St. Josemaría Escrivá. Like Escrivá himself, The Man of Villa Tevere overflows with vibrant energy and gentle wisdom, manifesting the spirit of Opus Dei and inspiring multitudes to lead truly Christian lives. Contains four pages of photos.

Book Synopsis Analysing Erasmus+ Vocational Education and Training Funding in Europe by : Carlos de Olagüe-Smithson
Download or read book Analysing Erasmus+ Vocational Education and Training Funding in Europe written by Carlos de Olagüe-Smithson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents an analysis of the Erasmus+ funding process. It examines the first 3 years of the programme to discover if the funds are being distributed homogeneously throughout the regions of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. If it turns out that funds are being unevenly delivered this could result in an inequity situation: students living in specific regions might have greater chances to benefit from KA102 funds, while other students might have fewer opportunities to benefit from these funds. The book looks in detail at the implementation and performance of the various programmes within Erasmus+, the funds and distribution of these funds, and the number of students in the programmes. The book studies these five countries because they contain more than half of all the vocational education and training students in the European Union. Also, these countries had the most students participating in mobilities during the previous Leonardo da Vinci programme. Hence, it is to be expected that the conclusions drawn in this study are representative of the situation of VET mobilities and Erasmus+ funding in Europe. Erasmus+ is the European programme in charge of fostering the development of transnational programmes in the areas of education, training, sports and youth policies. It is focused on the adaptation to a fast changing world, tackling youth unemployment, and preparing workers for highly skilled jobs. Erasmus+ integrates former programmes such as the Lifelong Learning Programme, Youth in Action, and the various international Higher Education and Sports programmes. It started in 2014 and will be active until 2020.
Download or read book Ena and Bee written by Ana de Sagrera and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2022-07-02 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • A close look at the intimate life of the Spanish royal family before, during and after the Civil War • Family letters show new light on the doomed affair between Bee and Grand Duke Michael of Russia, brother of Tsar Nicholas II • A revealing study of the relationship between Ena and King Alfonso XIII, which resulted in Bee being exiled to Switzerland • A dual biography of Queen Ena of Spain and her cousin, Infanta Beatrice (‘Bee’), by the late Ana de Sagrera with additional material from Doña Beatriz, granddaughter of the Infanta Princess Eugenia (Ena) of Battenberg and Princess Beatrice (Bee) of Saxe Coburg, granddaughters of Queen Victoria of England, married into the Spanish royal family. In 1906, Ena became the consort of King Alfonso XIII, who had been sovereign since his birth in 1886. Three years later, Bee married his cousin, Infante Don Alfonso. Ena’s marriage proved unhappy with the ill-health of her haemophiliac sons and her husband’s infidelities. The King abdicated in 1931 and they led separate lives in exile until he died in 1941. Bee and her husband Ali were more popular, although personal differences between them and the King resulted in their temporary exile for the first years of their marriage. They later returned to Spain, staying there for the rest of their lives. Bee died in 1966 and Ena three years later. This dual biography, written by Anna de Sagrera with additional material from Doña Beatriz, Bee’s granddaughter, looks in depth at the friendship of the mutually supportive cousins against the often-turbulent background of 20th century Spanish politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationally celebrated author Almudena Grandes has produced her finest work yet with The Wind from the East, a blend of two narratives set alternately in Madrid and an Andalusian town by the sea. Sara Gómes Morales,given up at birth to be raised by her wealthy godmother,is betrayed on her sixteenth birthday when she is forced to leave her godmother’s home and return to live in poverty with her estranged parents. Tortured by resentment and the loneliness of belonging to neither place,she finds solace as an adult only when she moves to the coastal town. Parallel to Sara’s story is the story of Juan and Damian Olmedo, brothers in love with the same woman. One night an argument incited by jealousy leads Damian to stumble down a flight ofstairs and fall to his death. Suspected ofmurdering his younger brother, Juan flees to the same village that served as Sara’s escape. Deftly engaging, The Wind from the Eastis an epic tale of love and redemption. Almudena Grandes' writing has been compared to the work of classic and contemporary voices such as the Brontë sisters and Isabel Allende.
Book Synopsis FAITH, MANAGEMENT AND HEALTHY LIVING by : Rufino L. Macagba MD MPH
Download or read book FAITH, MANAGEMENT AND HEALTHY LIVING written by Rufino L. Macagba MD MPH and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes how the life and faith of his parents influenced the author in his early years until he finally asked the Lord to enter his life, reinforced by his wife’s faith, and followed by a lifetime of blessings and miracles. It describes how his family survived the Second World War in the Philippines and the years that followed as he went through medical school where he met his wife and the years of training that resulted in their both taking over the hospital founded by his parents. It describes how he and his family received scholarships for further studies in the US and how he started a career in international health programs and management training workshops in all continents for twenty years, finally founding an accredited MBA program in Fullerton, California. It describes how he learned about what the purpose of health care should be, and that is to help people live a healthy life and how they can achieve it. It describes how he and his wife finally returned to the Philippines and how he applied what he learned in the hospital and college and in hospital management workshops in all continents. ***** His autobiography is one substantial storytelling that offers a front seat to the nuanced and textured narration of the evolution of the dignified medical doctor, sought-after hospital management educator and practitioner, author, world health policy influencer, and dedicated family man. I’m a believer of the concept that good leadership starts with personal leadership based on integrity and other values. The autobiography clearly shows that what Lorma espouses as central to its culture—love of God, respect for the individual, and continuous improvement mirror the personal values and leadership foundation of Dr. Rufi. It was evident in the book that God was placed in the center of Dr. Rufi’s life, and every milestone, he always attributed to the Lord’s grace. The autobiography is therefore such a blessing to readers who want to be inspired by how God works his miracles on a man destined to lead and inspire. —Noel M. Cortez, PhD Former Associate Dean, Asian Institute of Management If you’re wondering where all the well-lived lives have gone, look no further. This book is for you. —Dave Conner Director of Talent Development, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina At the core of his life is his genuine Christian commitment, doing what he does as a servant of the Savior, putting a human face on God’s compassion for the neediest among us. Read the book. Then thank God for empowering this remarkable man! —Rev. Van C. Elliott San Diego, California
