Book Synopsis The Lady of the Rings by : Stephen F. Kaufman
Download or read book The Lady of the Rings written by Stephen F. Kaufman and published by Worthy Shorts Inc. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenal success of the author's original interpretation of Musashi's "Book of Five Rings" was the inspiration that eventually led to the creation of this volume. A chance meeting of two incredibly diverse human beings led to a collaboration that came as a result of their own personal relationship. Hanshi Kaufman taught the principles of the "Rings" to Ann Davis, a successful restauranteur, over a period of time when she was dealing with issues that occur in every person seeking answers to the so-called difficulties in life. This book is a result of their chance meeting. It expresses in Ann's words her feelings towards life now based on Musashi's universal ideas that override any form of prejudice. It is an expose of a woman coming to terms with her own reality. Bright, witty, pithy, and personal, Ann Davis tells her story without making excuses for herself. Steve Kaufman captures her sensitivity as only a master teacher and writer can.
Download or read book Lady of the Rings written by Wim Roskam and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lady of the Rings is a 100% true story that reads like a thriller. People who read it were deeply moved, couldn't put it down. This book will haunt you, it will make you wonder, it will make you angry and it will make you cry. After Linda got a diagnosis of cervical cancer in 1999, she and Wim decided to follow a road no one understood. Indeed that road was hard. Seemingly it was the worst road they could ever have chosen, but it was a choice made by the heart, and in the rear-view mirror their choice was the right one! This is the story of: - Linda, who was very popular among her students, but in who in1985 was struck by lightning whilst driving her car. - Igor, a man from the 16th century, who was sent to battle while his wife was pregnant, and who finally ended up in the last days of the 20th century, like a time-traveller, looking for his love Nasja. Incredible, and yet this is a true story! - Ama, a cheerful woman from the Spirit World, who suggests that Linda builds a wall of Light around her home. - Marianne, who just started as a therapist when she gets a phone call from a very ill patient who has refused all regular health care. - Wim, who, during a beautiful nightly encounter, is briefly projected into the spirit realm; an experience that changes his life in a totally unforeseen direction. - A special Ring inspired by Linda, who also inspires Wim to find five other rings and one secret, unseen ring that, in love, unites them all. - The Akaija, Linda's gift to mankind, a tool that is already in use by thousands of people, a tool that is surprising scientists and symbolizing 'We are One', a universal and timeless concept. Above all, this is a love story, beyond the boundaries of life. Eliza White Buffalo, author of the Two Roads books writes: "Written with authenticity, the story is very real with real passion and acceptance, pain and understanding of pain. The message is clear: choice is a god given gift. You have free will to choose for yourself, and no matter what choices you make, acceptance softens the road and allows you to trust others too. I believe Linda taught us to allow others to be who they are. She is still teaching us this, and also to trust in others' gifts, but not to the price of your own integrity because being you is the greatest gift you have; staying true to you, to your own unique path, will guide your choices, no matter how intense they may seem. Ultimately, that will be your greatest success."

Book Synopsis Understanding the Lord of the Rings by : Rose A. Zimbardo
Download or read book Understanding the Lord of the Rings written by Rose A. Zimbardo and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2004 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publisher's description: When first published, The Lord of the Rings stood far from the mainstream: no one had seen anything like it for decades. Tolkien's almost stridently antimodern tale needed valiant defenders, vocal admirers who understood its sources and relished its monumental scale. While such champions of modernism as Edmund Wilson mocked Tolkien's archaic structure and language, W.H. Auden -- a great modernist poet in his own right -- rose to his defense with a spirited essay on the true nature of the Hero Quest. Edmund Fuller's essay collected here discusses the nature of the fairy tale, returning to the roots of the term to remove the treacle of Disney and restore the value of realistic enchantment. Tolkien's friend C.S. Lewis takes up the question of why, if you have a serious comment to make about real life, you would drape it in a never-never land of your own. He shrewdly argues that it is because real life does have mythic and heroic qualities -- in abundance. This collection also includes, among others, essays by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Verlyn Flieger, Paul Kocher, Jane Chance, and each of the editors, as well as a brand-new essay by Tom Shippey that shows us how to process all this vast learning, adding to it the many delights of the film versions of Tolkien's epic masterpiece, so we can relish his achievement all the more.

Book Synopsis The Ring and the Cross by : Paul E. Kerry
Download or read book The Ring and the Cross written by Paul E. Kerry and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2011 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conversation, sometimes heated, about the influence of Christianity on the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien has a long history. What has been lacking is a forum for a civilized discussion about the topic, as well as a chronological overview of the major arguments and themes that have engaged scholars about the impact of Christianity on Tolkien's oeuvre, with particular reference to The Lord of the Rings. The Ring and the Cross addresses these two needs through an articulate and authoritative analyses of Tolkien's Roman Catholicism and the role it plays in understanding his writings. The volume's contributors deftly explain the kinds of interpretations put forward and evidence marshaled when arguing for or against religious influence. The Ringand the Cross invites readers to draw their own conclusions about a subject that has fascinated Tolkien enthusiasts since the publication of his masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings.

Book Synopsis Goddess and Grail by : Jeffrey John Dixon
Download or read book Goddess and Grail written by Jeffrey John Dixon and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early chroniclers of Britain presented the island as the promised land of the Roman goddess Diana. Later, when the story of Arthur was transformed by Christian mythology, a new literary concept of the island was promoted: the promised land of the Holy Grail. As the feminine enchantment of the Goddess gave way to the masculine crusade of the Grail Quest, the otherworld realms of the fays or fairy women were denigrated in favor of the heavenly afterlife. The dualism of the medieval authors was challenged by modern writers such as Blake and Tolkien, as well as by the scholars of the Eranos conferences. This book explores the conflict between Goddess and Grail--a rift less about paganism versus Christianity than about religious literalism versus spiritual imagination--which is resolved in the figure of Sophia (Divine Wisdom).

Book Synopsis Tradition and Apocalypse by : David Bentley Hart
Download or read book Tradition and Apocalypse written by David Bentley Hart and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the two thousand years that have elapsed since the time of Christ, Christians have been as much divided by their faith as united, as much at odds as in communion. And the contents of Christian confession have developed with astonishing energy. How can believers claim a faith that has been passed down through the ages while recognizing the real historical contingencies that have shaped both their doctrines and their divisions? In this carefully argued essay, David Bentley Hart critiques the concept of "tradition" that has become dominant in Christian thought as fundamentally incoherent. He puts forth a convincing new explanation of Christian tradition, one that is obedient to the nature of Christianity not only as a "revealed" creed embodied in historical events but as the "apocalyptic" revelation of a history that is largely identical with the eternal truth it supposedly discloses. Hart shows that Christian tradition is sustained not simply by its preservation of the past, but more essentially by its anticipation of the future. He offers a compelling portrayal of a living tradition held together by apocalyptic expectation--the promised transformation of all things in God.

This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Humboldt-University of Berlin, 32 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Once upon a time Umbert Eco quoted Tennyson's continental contemporary Mallarm who wrote about avoiding a single absolute word sense concerning the typo-logographic space and epistemic-symbolic landscape: "Einen Gegenstand benennen bedeutet, die drei Viertel des Genusses am Gedicht zu unterdr cken, welche aus dem Gl ck bestehen, nach und nach zu entschl sseln, es hervorzubringen ...] dies ist der Traum ...] Es mu vermieden werden, da ein einziger Sinn sich aufdr ngt: der leere Raum um das Wort herum, (...), die r umliche Komposition des Textes tragen dazu bei, dem Wort eine Aura des Unbestimmten zu verleihen und es auf tausend verschiedene Dinge hindeuten zu lassen." (Eco 1989, 121f.) Various literary critics describe a rather psychological dilemma within Tennyson's work in general which seems important for the understanding of The Lady of Shalott which in my opinion is not theme of this work. Once with-in the discourse of art and mythopoetics this dilemma resembles Tennyson's struggle for both artistic strategy as well as rhetorical and logical validity (Alaya 1970, 289.) Another remark refers to Tennyson's "difficulty in leaving the world and passing into "a Nameless, shadow-less realm" which insert the reader into autopoietic ordering "spaces between images and words." (Colley 1985, 370 and 377.) An expression of this dilemma we find in Tennyson's The Lady of Shalott with the metaphorical presence in absence of sword and primarily window which will be discussed later on. But the expressive representing or non-symbolic Nameless cannot exist if the symbolic is the only associative between the imaginary and the real which is the other side of the symbolic per se.

Book excerpt: "Deibel deftly weaves fascinating details about Irish history and culture into the plot of her latest sweetly romantic love story."--Booklist "A classic boy-meets-girl story that packs a powerful punch."--Library Journal starred review *** In 1920, Annabeth De Lacy's father is appointed landlord of Galway Parish in Ireland. Bored without all the trappings of the British Court, Annabeth convinces her father to arrange an apprenticeship for her with the Jennings family--descendants of the creator of the famed Claddagh Ring. Stephen Jennings longs to do anything other than run his family's jewelry shop. Having had his heart broken, he no longer believes in love and is weary of peddling the "lies" the Claddagh Ring promises. Meanwhile, as the war for Irish independence gains strength, many locals resent the De Lacys and decide to take things into their own hands to display their displeasure. As events take a dangerous turn for Annabeth and her family, she and Stephen begin to see that perhaps the "other side" isn't quite as barbaric and uncultured as they'd been led to believe--and that the bonds of friendship, love, and loyalty are only made stronger when put through the refiner's fire. Travel to the Emerald Isle for another poignant and romantic story from the enchanted pen of Jennifer Deibel.
