Book Synopsis Expressing Silence by : Natsuko Tsujimura
Download or read book Expressing Silence written by Natsuko Tsujimura and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Expressing Silence: Where Language and Culture Meet in Japanese, Natsuko Tsujimura discusses how silence is conceptualized and linguistically represented in Japanese. Languages differ widely in the specific linguistic and rhetorical modes through which vivid depictions of silence are achieved. In Japanese, sounds in nature evoke silence, and onomatopoeia plays an important role in simulating silent scenes. These linguistic mechanisms mediate the perception of the symbiotic relationship between sound and silence, a perception deeply embedded in the Japanese cultural experience. Expressing Silence brings the tools of both linguistic and cultural analysis in examining the remarkably rich array of representations of silence in Japanese language and culture, finding that depictions of silence through language cannot be understood without exploring what sound or silence mean to the speakers.

Never mind the fact that she moved there with her current situation Jamel, because honestly that was all he would ever be. Theory knew from the from the first time he laid eyes on Rain that she owned his heart. She was the only thing he loved more than the streets that controlled him, so when Rain disappeared from his life he did the only thing he could and just survived. The streets became his priority and women became his past time. Now she's back, and things are as they should be, but will the choices that Theory made affect their chance to finally get it right?

In love with an older, unavailable married woman, Mark goes in search of Jean Latour, whose poetry, he believes, could be his salvation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

It features eminent scholars writing from Christian, Buddhist, literary, and historical perspectives, taking up, for example, the uneasy alliance between faith and doubt; the complexities of discipleship and martyrdom; the face of Christ; and, the bodhisattva ideal as well as the nature of suffering. It also frames Silence through a wider lens, comparing it to Endo's other works as well as to the fiction of other authors. Approaching Silence promises to deepen academic appreciation for Endo, within and beyond the West. Includes an Afterword by Martin Scorsese on adapting Silence for the screen as well as the full text of Steven Dietz's play adaptation of Endo's novel.

Book excerpt: Life brings us many experiences over the decades, and might be painful or joyous - or even simply grey. However rich or difficult, they can be elusive and hard to put into words. But all experiences become part of who we are, whether we can express them or not. In these poems Christine tries to capture the essence of some of those times, from her own life as well as others during the nearly 30 years since her previous book (Mis-Steps and Dances) was published. (Lle Noddfa Books originated in Wales and is roughly pronouced 'thley noth-va'. The Welsh meaning of the name is ""place of refuge"")

Book Synopsis Literary Labyrinths in Franco-Era Barcelona by : Colleen P. Culleton
Download or read book Literary Labyrinths in Franco-Era Barcelona written by Colleen P. Culleton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together works by Salvador Espriu, Juan Goytisolo, Mercè Rodoreda, Esther Tusquets, and Juan Marsa that portray memory as a disorienting narrative enterprise, Colleen Culleton argues that the source of this disorientation is the material reality of life in Barcelona in the immediate post-Civil War years. Barcelona was the object of harsh persecution in the first years of the Franco regime that included the erasure of marks of Catalan identity and cultural history from the urban landscape and made Barcelona a moving target for memory. The literature and film she examines show characters struggling to produce narratives of the remembered past that immediately conflict with the dominant version of Spain's historical narrative formulated to legitimize the Civil War. Culleton suggests the trope of the laberinto, used as an image or device in all five of the works she considers and translated into English as both maze and labyrinth, opens up a space that enables readers to take vulnerability to outside interference into account as an inseparable part of remembrance. While the narratives all have maze-like qualities involving a high level of reader participation and choice, the exigencies of the labyrinth with its unicursal demands for patience, perseverance, and faith always prevail. Thus do the Francoist narrative and social structure in the end resurface and reassert themselves over the narrating character's perspective.

Book Synopsis The Advent by : Gregoire de Kalbermatten
Download or read book The Advent written by Gregoire de Kalbermatten and published by daisyamerica LLC. This book was released on 2003 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Advent proposes and describes a new category of perception: 'vibratory awareness', beyond thought, feelings or instinct, by which all kinds of absolute questions are answered. This awareness itself thinks, organizes and loves. It balances, neutralizes and heals human problems, and relates man to the divine. It has been described in many scriptures, as, for example, divine breath, it is innate in every human being, though unconscious for most. It is known as enlightenment, Self-realization, second birth or mukti and incarnations who have come on this earth at different stages in human evolution have prepared the setting for its manifestation on a mass scale, as the phenomenon of 'collective consciousness'. Readers can personally verify the existence and validity of this awareness, indeed, many already have. Evidently, the one who has introduced this breakthrough leading man to his evolutionary maturity, is a truly unique being. H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Srivastava, was born at Chindwara, in central India on 21st March 1923. Many hundreds of thousands now practice Her technique of Sahaja Yoga by which their lives have been transformed. Individually and collectively they are fulfilled, and have become dynamic, compassionate and wise, through the implementation of vibratory awareness in their daily lives. Their model and teacher is their Divine Mother, Shri Mataji, a loving, simple, intelligent, frank and genuine personality. This book is about Her Advent and Her message.
