This book, with a Foreword by best-selling author Caroline Myss, is a fascinating example of channeled literature, adding a very human personality to the stiff figure of George Washington often seen in his portraits. Here, we encounter a three-dimensional Washington, replete with his loves, fears, philosophy, and repeated encounters with the spirit world. This is an unforgettable and intimate view of the Founding Father of America, as told to Edith Ellis.

Schor traces the development of Ralph Ellison's fiction from the earliest experiments to the major accomplishment of his novel Invisible Man, the mature prose of the Hickman stories and other published portions of his novel-in-progress. The study considers the two-fold obligation Ellison felt in committing himself to literature: to contribute at once to the growth of literature and also to the shaping of the culture as he would like it to be. His stories, read sequentially, reflect his struggle to encompass this aim in his writing. In describing that fragment of American experience he knew best, he learned to use the rich resources of his African-American heritage; from his passionate involvement with his craft came the discovery that, in literature, values turn in their own way, not in the service of politics or ideology.The early stories mark Ellison's maze-like route that developed the skill, talent, and imagination and personal vision needed to transform experience into art. The novel demonstrates the flowering of his talent, and the Hickman stories add a fine patina. In her discussion of Ellison's work, Professor Schor uses his essays and interviews as well as the insights of other critics to comment directly on his fiction. The study concludes with a bibliography of Ellison's fiction and nonfiction and a selective bibliography of criticism and related sources.

Feminidad y maternidad. Un diálogo entre Edith Stein y Élisabeth Badinter

pokkari
Puedo ser feliz siendo madre? Si elijo mi profesi n o mis metas personales por encima de la maternidad me sentir plena como mujer? Inquietudes como estas asaltan el coraz n femenino. La capacidad de acoger y gestar la vida es sin duda un don que cuestiona, desaf a y pone a las mujeres en la dif cil tarea de decidir sobre el rumbo de su existencia. Este libro presenta un di logo filos fico entre dos pensadoras que reflexionaron en torno al tema. La primera de ellas es Elisabeth Badinter, una intelectual francesa apasionada por el Siglo de las Luces, referente del feminismo franc s contempor neo. La escritora comprende la maternidad como una nueva forma de esclavitud y el instinto maternal como un mito que carga a la mujer de obligaciones exteriormente impuestas. La segunda es Edith Stein, una intelectual alemana de la primera mitad del siglo XX, jud a conversa al cristianismo, monja carmelita descalza, santa de la Iglesia Cat lica. La autora se pregunta a la luz de la fe en Cristo el significado de ser mujer para afirmar que en el n cleo de la feminidad se encuentra la maternidad. El enriquecedor di logo entre estas mujeres intelectuales muestra que la resoluci n de las cuestiones propias del coraz n femenino abarca temas tan complejos como la fundamentaci n de la realidad, el significado de ser humano, el sentido de la libertad, el origen de la diferencia.
