Book Synopsis The Legend of St. Brendan by : Jude S. Mackley
Download or read book The Legend of St. Brendan written by Jude S. Mackley and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Legend of St Brendan" is a study of two accounts of a voyage undertaken by Brendan, a sixth-century Irish saint. The immense popularity of the Latin version encouraged many vernacular translations, including a twelfth-century Anglo-Norman reworking of the narrative which excises much of the devotional material seen in the ninth-century "Navigatio Sancti Brendani abbatis" and changes the emphasis, leaving a recognisably secular narrative. The vernacular version focuses on marvellous imagery and the trials and tribulations of a long sea-voyage. Together the two versions demonstrate a movement away from hagiography towards adventure. Studies of the two versions rarely discuss the elements of the fantastic. Following a summary of authorship, audiences and sources, this comparative study adopts a structural approach to the two versions of the Brendan narrative. It considers what the fantastic imagery achieves and addresses issues raised with respect to theological parallels.

Using the exact same methods in constructing their sailing vessel, they set out on their hazardous voyage, making it one of the most inspiring expeditions in the history of exploration.

Book Synopsis St Brendan of Kerry, the Navigator by : Gearóid Ó Donnchadha
Download or read book St Brendan of Kerry, the Navigator written by Gearóid Ó Donnchadha and published by Four Courts Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St Brendan the Navigator was born in Fenit, County Kerry, in 484. In fact and in legend he was one of the greatest saints in an era that gave us some of our most outstanding educators and missionaries - Finnian, Corngall, Kieran, Canice, Kevin, Columba, Carthagem Cormas, Jarlath, and Enda. All but Columba have been ignored, by and large. This short book seeks to set the record straight. It tells the remarkable story of Brendan from the best historical perspective and from available manuscript sources. It also shows why so many of our great saints and educators have been ignored. Included are translations of two manuscripts, the Irish Life (written first about 750) and the Navigatio (or voyage) of Brendan (written about 850). Included also are some extracts from the Latin Life of Brendan.
Book Synopsis The Voyage of St Brendan by : A.B. JACKSON
Download or read book The Voyage of St Brendan written by A.B. JACKSON and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Voyage of St Brendan, A.B. Jackson tells the tale of the legendary seafaring Irish abbot. After burning a book of fantastical stories, Brendan is compelled to sail the ocean with a crew of six monks in a leather-skinned currach; his task, to prove the existence of wonders in the world and create a new book of marvels. Discoveries include Jasconius the island-whale, a troop of Arctic ghosts, a hellmouth of tortured souls, a rock-bound Judas, and the magical castle of the boar-headed Walserands.Although the roots of this legend lie in early Irish immrama and the Latin Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis of the ninth century, Jackson has taken the fourteenth-century Middle Dutch version of Brendan's voyage as the template for this engaging and spirited interpretation, making it recommended reading for scholars of medieval literature and lovers of fantasy adventure alike. The book includes a series of black and white linocuts by the American artist Kathleen Neeley.

Book excerpt: The route they chose was the 'Stepping Stone' route (Hebrides, Faroes, Iceland and along the coast of Greenland). It is also a story of historical and archaeological interest which proves that it could be possible for the mediaeval account of the legendary voyage of the Irish monk, St. Brendan, to have been a fairly factural record of a voyage to North America centuries before the Vikings.

Book excerpt: GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK! • Ray McMillian is a Black classical musician on the rise—undeterred by the pressure and prejudice of the classical music world—when a shocking theft sends him on a desperate quest to recover his great-great-grandfather’s heirloom violin on the eve of the most prestigious musical competition in the world. “I loved The Violin Conspiracy for exactly the same reasons I loved The Queen’s Gambit: a surprising, beautifully rendered underdog hero I cared about deeply and a fascinating, cutthroat world I knew nothing about—in this case, classical music.” —Chris Bohjalian, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Flight Attendant and Hour of the Witch Growing up Black in rural North Carolina, Ray McMillian’s life is already mapped out. But Ray has a gift and a dream—he’s determined to become a world-class professional violinist, and nothing will stand in his way. Not his mother, who wants him to stop making such a racket; not the fact that he can’t afford a violin suitable to his talents; not even the racism inherent in the world of classical music. When he discovers that his beat-up, family fiddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius, all his dreams suddenly seem within reach, and together, Ray and his violin take the world by storm. But on the eve of the renowned and cutthroat Tchaikovsky Competition—the Olympics of classical music—the violin is stolen, a ransom note for five million dollars left in its place. Without it, Ray feels like he's lost a piece of himself. As the competition approaches, Ray must not only reclaim his precious violin, but prove to himself—and the world—that no matter the outcome, there has always been a truly great musician within him.
