Brought up as a Christian during the Spanish Inquisition of the 17th century, Manuel is surprised, but proud when he learns of his family’s true heritage. Manuel’s family must observe their Jewish traditions in secret, for if they are discovered they will be punished – or worse.

Book Synopsis The Samurai of Seville by : John J. Healey
Download or read book The Samurai of Seville written by John J. Healey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sumptuous novel inspired by one of history’s most intriguing forgotten chapters—the arrival of Japanese Samurai on the shores of Europe. In 1614, twenty-two Samurai warriors and a group of tradesmen from Japan sailed to Spain, where they initiated one of the most intriguing cultural exchanges in history. They were received with pomp and circumstance, first by King Philip III and later by Pope Paul V. They were the first Japanese to visit Europe and they caused a sensation. They remained for two years and then most of the party returned to Japan; however, six of the Samurai stayed behind, settling in a small fishing village close to Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where their descendants live to this day. Healey imbues this tale of the meeting of East and West with uncommon emotional and intellectual intensity and a rich sense of place. He explores the dueling mentalities of two cultures through a singular romance; the sophisticated, restrained warrior culture of Japan and the baroque sensibilities of Renaissance Spain, dark and obsessed with ethnic cleansing. What one culture lives with absolute normality is experienced as exotic from the outsider’s eye. Everyone is seen as strange at first and then—with growing familiarity—is revealed as being more similar than originally perceived, but with the added value of enduring idiosyncrasies. The story told in this novel is an essential and timeless one about the discoveries and conflicts that arise from the forging of relationships across borders, both geographical and cultural.

Book Synopsis The Joker of Seville and O Babylon! by : Derek Walcott
Download or read book The Joker of Seville and O Babylon! written by Derek Walcott and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1959, Derek Walcott has directed and written for the Trinidad Theatre Workshop. The Joker of Seville, a comedy based on Tirso de Molina's El Burlador de Sevilla, was commissioned by England's Royal Shakespeare Company. Walcott's sensitivity to the pacing, meter, and lyricism of the original makes his first attempt at adaptation an extraordinary accomplishment. O Babylon! brings life the Rastafarian sect in Jamaica, which grew during Marcus Garvey's exile to that country and has recently been popularized through the lyrics of reggae music. Mr. Walcott's plays have been produced by the New York Shakespeare Festival, the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, and the Negro Ensemble Company. Dream on Monkey Mountain, the title play of his earlier collection, won the Obie Award for a Distringuished Foreign Play when produced in New York in 1971. It was deemed "a masterpiece" by Edith Oliver in The New Yorker. "Dream on Monkey Mountain," she wrote, "is a poem in dramatic form or a drama in poetry, and poetry is rare in the modern theatre. Every line of it plays....there is a sound psychological basis for every action and emotion."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seville is one of the most charming cities in Spain with its favourable climate and relaxed atmosphere. It is steeped in history and has a unique Moorish heritage that bequeaths the city a large collection of interesting buildings as well as those that are a legacy of the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. These five walks give the tourist an opportunity to visit and enjoy not only the major attractions that a guided tour usually includes but also many of the other interesting sights that people do not always see. This book will help you experience the atmosphere of different areas in Seville with its gardens, palaces, religious institutions, museums and other buildings, transporting you back through time by walking through the smaller streets and hidden plazas that have a historical and cultural significance with their blend of architectural styles. By providing five different walking routes and detailed information about each attraction passed it puts a visitor to Seville in charge of the time spent at any particular place rather than having to rush and keep up with a guide. With detailed instructions of how to get from one place to another it gives a flavour of the many things that Seville has to offer without having to join costly guided tours.

Excerpt: "It was a number of years ago, not long after he had been given "the alternative" in the bull-ring of Madrid, that he came to lodge at a certain hotel on Alcalá Street where his hosts treated him as if he were one of the family, and the dining-room servants, porters, scullions, and old waiters adored him as the glory of the establishment. There, too, he had spent many days wrapped in bandages, in a dense atmosphere heavy with the smell of iodoform, in consequence of two gorings, but the unhappy recollection did not weigh upon him…"

Book excerpt: This is the story of men who sailed by reading the stars, played the games of politics and war better than anyone today, and dared to risk their nations future seeking legendary wealth halfway around the world. It also explains why, and how, the small country of Portugal became a world power out of proportion to its size. The story begins with a man whose vision is not clouded by scruples. John IIbrilliant, fiery, and ruthlessascends to the throne of Portugal in 1481. His people call him the Perfect Price, knowing well that his greatness and his morals are at best nodding acquaintances. The kings dream for the future of his small kingdom extends far to the east: to the untold wealth of Indias spices. To realize his ambition, King John calls on brave, skilled, and war-hardened men to sail his caravels across unexplored oceans, and astronomers and navigators to guide them. He also enlists priests and lawyers: wily men who can win an empire with the stroke of a pen or conquer a foreign land with a well-placed clause. Building on the achievements of his great-uncle, Henry the Navigator, John sends his ships down the west coast of Africaand his spies across the Red Sea to India. This compelling novel, based on years of historical research, recounts the feats of those who risked the future of a nation on voyages as expensive, daring, and dangerous as the moon landings of our age in search of Marco Polos pot of gold, and how they catapulted a small country onto the world stage and jump-started globalization.
