Download or read book By Fire, By Water written by Mitchell James Kaplan and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2010-05-18 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recipient of the Independent Publishers Award for Historical Fiction (Gold Medal), the Foreword Book of the Year Award for Historical Fiction (Bronze Medal), and an honorable mention in the category of General Fiction for the Eric Hoffer Award. Luis de Santángel, chancellor to the court and longtime friend of the lusty King Ferdinand, has had enough of the Spanish Inquisition. As the power of Inquisitor General Tomás de Torquemada grows, so does the brutality of the Spanish church and the suspicion and paranoia it inspires. When a dear friend’s demise brings the violence close to home, Santángel is enraged and takes retribution into his own hands. But he is from a family of conversos, and his Jewish heritage makes him an easy target. As Santángel witnesses the horrific persecution of his loved ones, he begins slowly to reconnect with the Jewish faith his family left behind. Feeding his curiosity about his past is his growing love for Judith Migdal, a clever and beautiful Jewish woman navigating the mounting tensions in Granada. While he struggles to decide what his reputation is worth and what he can sacrifice, one man offers him a chance he thought he’d lost…the chance to hope for a better world. Christopher Columbus has plans to discover a route to paradise, and only Luis de Santángel can help him. Within the dramatic story lies a subtle, insightful examination of the crisis of faith at the heart of the Spanish Inquisition. Irresolvable conflict rages within the conversos in By Fire, By Water, torn between the religion they left behind and the conversion meant to ensure their safety. In this story of love, God, faith, and torture, fifteenth-century Spain comes to dazzling, engrossing life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of the Novel is the first reference book that focuses on the development of the novel throughout the world. Entries on individual writers assess the place of that writer within the development of the novel form, explaining why and in exactly what ways that writer is importnant. Similarly, an entry on an individual novel discusses the importance of that novel not only form, analyzing the particular innovations that novel has introduced and the ways in which it has influenced the subsequent course of the genre. A wide range of topic entries explore the history, criticism, theory, production, dissemination and reception of the novel. A very important component of the Encyclopedia of the Novel is its long surveys of development of the novel in various regions of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A love that burns more fierce than any holy flame threatens to engulf Spain in this scintillating historical romance. Proud as her aristocratic upbringing, bold as the ancient gypsy blood that ran in her veins, the beautiful, golden-haired Maria saw her family burned at the Inquisitor's stake, watched her young lover, the adventurous Rafael de Alagon, forced into the priesthood. Desperate, and bound by a forbidden love, she defied the Grand Inquisitor himself, fled across Spain with the gypsy king, was enslaved by the Blue Sultan, and escaped to entreat Queen Isabella's favor at the dazzling Spanish court. But through all of her travels, Maria is bound to Rafael by a love more unshakeable than faith, that burns hotter than the fires of the Inquisition.

Download or read book A World Lit Only by Fire written by William Manchester and published by Back Bay Books. This book was released on 2009-09-26 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "lively and engaging" history of the Middle Ages (Dallas Morning News) from the acclaimed historian William Manchester, author of The Last Lion. From tales of chivalrous knights to the barbarity of trial by ordeal, no era has been a greater source of awe, horror, and wonder than the Middle Ages. In handsomely crafted prose, and with the grace and authority of his extraordinary gift for narrative history, William Manchester leads us from a civilization tottering on the brink of collapse to the grandeur of its rebirth: the dense explosion of energy that spawned some of history's greatest poets, philosophers, painters, adventurers, and reformers, as well as some of its most spectacular villains. "Manchester provides easy access to a fascinating age when our modern mentality was just being born." --Chicago Tribune

Download or read book Thomas Torquemada the Grand Inquisitor written by Paul Powell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-04 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story which was born out of Tomas Torquemada's life is one of religious and racial bigotry which escalated into what can only be termed hatred. The fact that these levels of cruelty were performed by a highly regarded member of a religion whose principles are based on tolerance, makes the cruelty seem so much more inhuman. There have been many biographers interested in the Torquemada story and some have accepted that he acted as prescribed by the state of the world at that time, but some stand by him having been just a cruel fellow. The inquisitions did not start with him, nor did they end with him, but only in his situation were so many people killed, maimed and/or stripped of their wealth in such a short time. This could not have been by default but by design, and his actions earned him praise from those who considered his deeds holy, 'Light of Spain' someone called him, and yet another one called him 'The hammer of the Heretics'. Questions have risen over the centuries as to what really the driving force behind Torquemada's intolerance for the Jews was, with some biographers indicating that he hated his Jewish ancestry so much that he felt by doing what he was doing, it was his own penance for having in his blood, part of the same blood as those who crucified Christ. In two languages, Spanish and Latin, his name makes reference to fire; a more befitting name could not be found for someone believed to have singularly caused the deaths of thousands by burning, and countless others being tortured by methods which used fire. He may have done what he did for his faith, but the numerous complaints which found their way to the Vatican during Tomas Torquemada's tenure as Spanish Grand Inquisitor point to unmatched cruelty; and so do the reports about his actions. This book gives a detailed discussion of this infamous man and most of the atrocities he committed against the Jews. Read on and find out for yourself just how low man can degenerate if the situation so allows.

Book excerpt: The Fifth Kingdom is an ambitious novel. It is a gripping account of a man and his time. The man was not an ordinary individual, but none other than Don Isaac Abravanel (1437-1508), the iconic Renaissance man of Jewry, diplomat, courtier, scholar, author, visionary, and not least, zealous protector of his fellow Jews. And the time was not an ordinary time, but the turbulent era that witnessed the tumultuous transition of the Iberian Peninsula from its Reconquista to the Christianization of its vast colonial empires. Against the backdrop of Castile, Aragon, Portugal and the Italian peninsula and with remarkable historical fidelity, Jane Frances Amler has provided a sensitive evocation of Abravanel and his family. Of particular note are her reconstructions of the inner lives of her characters, their thoughts and feelings, their fears and dreams, their triumphs and their failures, their passions and their hopes. The work of a skillful writer and perceptive thinker, this novel will reward the reader with historical knowledge and human understanding. Dr. Martin A. Cohen, professor of Jewish History, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, NYC
