Download or read book The Candidate written by Zareh Vorpouni and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Candidate is one of the most masterful, psychologically penetrating novels in Armenian diaspora literature. Published in 1967 at a time of political awakening among the descendants of survivors of the Armenian genocide, the novel explores themes of trauma, forgiveness, reconciliation, friendship, and sacrifice, and examines the relationship between victim and perpetrator. The book opens in 1927 in Paris after Minas has found his friend Vahakn’s body on the floor of the apartment they share. In a fragmentary way, Minas tells of his meeting Vahakn in the cafés of the Latin Quarter; the friendship that joins them; their conversations with Ziya, a Turkish student in Paris; Vahakn’s murder of Ziya; and Vahakn’s suicide. At the core of the novel is the note Vahakn leaves Minas to explain the enigma of Ziya’s murder and his own suicide. The letter recounts Vahakn’s and his mother’s deportation from their village in the Ottoman Empire; his mother’s death and Vahakn’s adoption by a Turkish woman, Fatma, who rapes and abuses him; his feelings of alienation and self-estrangement in France; and his inability to adapt to life after trauma. Known for his innovation of the Western Armenian novel, Vorpouni challenges the narrative elements of the conventional novel by playing with subjectivity and linearity. His melding of contemporary French literary and intellectual currents produces a literary and cultural hybrid unique in Western Armenian literature.

Book Synopsis The Simple Book of Profound Truths by : Matthew L. Williams M.A. Ph.D.
Download or read book The Simple Book of Profound Truths written by Matthew L. Williams M.A. Ph.D. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a revolutionary text for revolutionary spiritual times. Facing imminent global financial collapse and great adversity for the foreseeable future, people will need a powerful faith in God just to survive. But who can have great faith if they dont know anything about God and how he works in our livesor if he even exists? God reveals spiritual knowledge to mankind not in an even, continuous flow, but in rare bursts or quantum leaps forward. The last such spiritual burst in Christianity occurred almost 2000 years ago, with the teachings of the New Testament. Since then, virtually no progress has been made in terms of spiritual insight into the Bible. Even worse, scholars today dont understand very well Gods lessons from the last burst. Thats why youll find even prominent Christian teachers still debating such basic spiritual concepts as the following: Can non-Christians be saved? What is the role of scienceand especially evolutionin relation to the Bible? What roles do free will and predestination play in our lives and salvation? Unfortunately, while Christian spirituality has remained stuck in the past, mankind has pushed ahead into the twenty-first century. With the explosive growth of knowledge, science, and global communications, Christianity must improve the way it addresses peoples spiritual concerns or face irrelevance and eventual extinction. This book represents a revolution in spiritual understanding that takes Christianity into the twenty-first century and beyond. It is the latest burst of spiritual insight2000 years in coming. Mankinds oldest and most vexing spiritual questions are answered here in full accord with logic, science, and reason. In addition, the reader will find new insights into understanding the Bible, living a spiritual life, andfor the first time evera new vision of Bible prophecy and the end of the world. There is no book like this.

J. Finn). The day Anna McDonald's quiet, respectable life exploded started off like all the days before: Packing up the kids for school, making breakfast, listening to yet another true crime podcast. Then her husband comes downstairs with an announcement, and Anna is suddenly, shockingly alone. Reeling, desperate for distraction, Anna returns to the podcast. Other people's problems are much better than one's own -- a sunken yacht, a murdered family, a hint of international conspiracy. But this case actually is Anna's problem. She knows one of the victims from an earlier life, a life she's taken great pains to leave behind. And she is convinced that she knows what really happened. Then an unexpected visitor arrives on her front stoop, a meddling neighbor intervenes, and life as Anna knows it is well and truly over. The devils of her past are awakened -- and they're in hot pursuit. Convinced she has no other options, Anna goes on the run, and in pursuit of the truth, with a washed-up musician at her side and the podcast as her guide. Conviction is "daredevil storytelling at its finest" (NPR's Fresh Air), a breathtaking thriller from one of the most "superbly talented" writers of our time (Hank Phillippi Ryan, bestselling author of Trust Me).
Book Synopsis Blacks of the Rosary by : Elizabeth W. Kiddy
Download or read book Blacks of the Rosary written by Elizabeth W. Kiddy and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2005-08-17 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blacks of the Rosary tells the story of the Afro-Brazilian communities that developed within lay religious brotherhoods dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary in Minas Gerais. It shows how these brotherhoods functioned as a social space in which Africans and their descendants could rebuild a communal identity based on a shared history of an African past and an ongoing devotional practice, thereby giving rise to enduring transnational cultures that have survived to the present day. In exploring this intersection of community, identity, and memory, the book probes the Portuguese and African contributions to the brotherhoods in Part One. Part Two traces the changes and continuities within the organizations from the early eighteenth century to the end of the Brazilian Empire, and the book concludes in Part Three with discussion of the twentieth-century brotherhoods and narratives of the participants in brotherhood festivals in the 1990s. In a larger sense, the book serves as a case study through which readers can examine the strategies that Afro-Brazilians used to create viable communities in order to confront the asymmetry of power inherent in the slave societies of the Americas and their economic and social marginalization in the twentieth century.
