Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work--in which the author describes the day when as a child he was chosen to be Jesus for the Feast of Saint Joseph--has been characterized as a poem in prose or as a basic canticle for celebrating life. The setting is pastoral Sicily shortly before World War II, and a child from a poor family has been entrusted to be the Messiah for one momentous day. A musical band and parade of dignitaries herald his arrival as he rides into the village on a she-ass. The priest presents him with the church key, supplicants ask him for favors and miracles as he presides over a great feast, and he wishes to heal his sick playmate Nico and bring the dead back to life. The little Jesus is transformed by this magnanimous experience, and he learns that the greatest miracle is volersi bene--to love one another. In the tradition of Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince and Cervantes' Don Quixote, The Little Jesus of Sicily is an engaging, whimsical novella which works as a children's story as well as a thought-provoking adult fable. Imagination, poetry, and faith come together seamlessly as Pasqualino asks simple but fundamental questions of existence. His eloquent wisdom is matched by Rozier's deft and sensitive translation, winner of the 1996 Renato Poggioli Translation Award from the PEN American Center. Beautifully illustrated with original drawings by University of Arkansas professor of art Ken Stout, this book tells a timeless tale that honors and celebrates the humanity of all people, regardless of age, time, place, or culture. It will be enjoyed, over and over again, by all readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Botánicas is an exploration in text and photographs of spiritual shops found in Latino neighborhoods throughout the United States. Readers discover these marvelous spaces and their alternative spiritualties that help patrons cope with the grind and challenges of city life. Botánicas provide access to an array of invisible powers and sell the ingredients to construct symbolic solutions to their patrons' problems. The stores are bright and baroque, and the powers they invoke come from religious traditions in Africa, Europe, Asia, and the native Americas. In Botánicas, Joseph M. Murphy offers a cultural history of the devotions on display and a reflection on the efficacy of their powers to heal. Readers will come to see that the goods and devotions of botánicas give their patrons--mostly Latino, often immigrants--pathways for empowerment and transformation. The name botánicas comes from the "botanicals" for sale, herbs and plants with healing powers. The pharmacopeia of botánicas can be vast, and owners may know hundreds of remedies for treating problems of health, wealth, and love. Botánicas vend herbs for upset stomach, herbs for finding a job, and herbs for wooing back a wayward spouse. Supplementing these medicinal and magical plants, botánicas sell candles, holy statues, and tools for devotion to an array of spiritual powers--Catholic saints, African gods, indigenous spirits, and Asian divinities. Each spirit has its own ritual of petition, and botánica owners can discern the proper offerings and prayers to help the supplicant. Murphy explains the religions of the botánica with subtlety and sensitivity. He gives readers a deep sense of the contexts of the stores and a sophisticated analysis of the religious traditions that suffuse them. Visually fascinating, culturally rich, and religiously profound, Botánicas is a window into a world of beauty and power.
