Making Love: A Conspiracy Of The Heart

Making Love: A Conspiracy Of The Heart

Marius Brill

Black Swan
2011
pokkari
He was out of her league. She was out of her depth. When Miranda, the Miss Lonely Hearts of Shepherd's Bush, suddenly finds herself romanced by a tall, dark and deadly spy, she finds her life turned upside down. Could it have anything to do with the book she innocently took from the library, a book with a conspiracy theory about 'love' so devastating that every other copy has been destroyed by MI5 and the writer 'disappeared'?Spliced through Miranda's romantic adventure are pages from the 'lost' book itself. But the loudest voice in this piece of postmodern madness belongs to the lovelorn book itself, a sentient mass of paper and ink that cannot help falling in love with its reader. Marius Brill's send-up of po-faced conspiracy stories, spy thrillers and pulp romance is as sharp as Tom Sharpe - imagine Umberto Ecco with a sense of humour. Ludicrously logical and finely spun, this is hare-brained literary fantasy, an erudite romp, and above all, a novel to fall in love with ...

...And Max? Piah wondered, brushing her flawless teeth, her reflecting birthmark forever heralding her god given destiny. Who was this solitary guy that looked an epitome of voguish spontaneity? Eyes blue one minute and green the next. Hair modelled into a halo of conflicting ruby flames. A faded sack of olive dungarees combined with a baize shirt of gentle coloured check, neither disguising the tautness of his frame, nor the relaxed purpose of his movements, nor the fragility of his being. Only the shoes didn't fit the look, but then he said he was a shoewalker. And having seen him hounded so viciously although maybe, Piah wondered, deservedly from the pub is what made the softer Piah want to follow...

Systematic Theology

Systematic Theology

Marius T. Mjaaland

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2025
nidottu
The key topic of systematic theology is the question of God - who is God and what is (the notion of) God. This volume offers a fascinating overview of the subject, by engaging a wide number of interdisciplinary discussions, as well as by touching upon the social and existential issues. Mjaaland offers an extensive discussion of prolegomena to systematic theology in the first four chapters, that discuss the methodology, philosophy and other preliminary issues that concern the basics of theological reflection. He proceeds to examine each of the three articles of the creed: creation theology (and the concept of God) and contemporary challenges to a Christian worldview, followed by discussion of anthropology, evolution, sin , and the question of God's power or powerlessness. Mjaaland discusses christology, in particular the question of logos and pathos, discussing the suffering of Christ, and the question of sacrifice, atonement, redemption and resurrection. The final section of the book examines the notion of the Holy Spirit and the Church, sacraments, inter-religious dialogue and the hope of resurrection.

Community and Catastrophe

Marius van Hoogstraten

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2025
nidottu
This book examines, from a contemporary perspective, one of the most influential document in Anabaptist tradition: the Schleitheim Confession. Van Hoogstraten develops seven constructive readings of the Confession’s articles, each of which discuss practices to shape the church community. Written in the wake of defeat at the Peasants’ rising in 1527, the Confession represents the attempt by radical reformers to outline collective, nurturing practices in the wake of external catastrophe. Van Hoogstraten sets loose a lively conversation with this text that illuminates a sense of life and togetherness in trying times. In the of this hands sophisticated and interdisciplinary scholar, the Confession becomes a vital source for constructive theology and ethics in the Anabaptist tradition. This fresh take on the Confession is sure to be of interest to Anabaptist theologians as well as students of the wider fields of political theology, Continental philosophy and ecclesiology.

The Making of Modern Japan

The Making of Modern Japan

Marius B. Jansen

The Belknap Press
2002
nidottu
Magisterial in vision, sweeping in scope, this monumental work presents a seamless account of Japanese society during the modern era, from 1600 to the present. A distillation of more than fifty years’ engagement with Japan and its history, it is the crowning work of our leading interpreter of the modern Japanese experience.Since 1600 Japan has undergone three periods of wrenching social and institutional change, following the imposition of hegemonic order on feudal society by the Tokugawa shogun; the opening of Japan’s ports by Commodore Perry; and defeat in World War II. The Making of Modern Japan charts these changes: the social engineering begun with the founding of the shogunate in 1600, the emergence of village and castle towns with consumer populations, and the diffusion of samurai values in the culture.Marius Jansen covers the making of the modern state, the adaptation of Western models, growing international trade, the broadening opportunity in Japanese society with industrialization, and the postwar occupation reforms imposed by General MacArthur. Throughout, the book gives voice to the individuals and views that have shaped the actions and beliefs of the Japanese, with writers, artists, and thinkers, as well as political leaders given their due.The story this book tells, though marked by profound changes, is also one of remarkable consistency, in which continuities outweigh upheavals in the development of society, and successive waves of outside influence have only served to strengthen a sense of what is unique and native to Japanese experience. The Making of Modern Japan takes us to the core of this experience as it illuminates one of the contemporary world’s most compelling transformations.

China in the Tokugawa World

China in the Tokugawa World

Marius B Jansen

Harvard University Press
1992
sidottu
This engaging book challenges the traditional notion that Japan was an isolated nation cut off from the outside world in the modern era. This familiar story of seclusion, argues master historian Marius B. Jansen, results from viewing the period soley in terms of Japan's ties with the West, at the expense of its relationship with closer Asian neighbors. Taking as his focus the port of Nagasaki and its thriving trade with China in the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries, Jansen not only corrects this misperception but offers an important analysis of the impact of the China trade on Japan's cultural, economic, and political life.

The Ugly One

The Ugly One

Marius von Mayenburg

Methuen Drama
2007
nidottu
Lette thought he was normal. When the extent of his ugliness is revealed he turns to a plastic surgeon for help. But after the bandages come off, Lette soon learns that there is such a thing as too beautiful. 'Owing glancing debts to Mary Shelley and HG Wells, Mayenburg's 60-minute play squarely hits any number of targets: our society's obsession with external beauty, the brutality of capitalism, and the danger of treating defining organs like mechanical parts. But, deftly translated from German by Maja Zade, the play makes its points with the lightest of touches.' Guardian The Ugly One is a scalpel-sharp comedy on beauty, identity and getting ahead in life. The play is published as a programme text edition to coincide with its British premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London, on 13 September 2007.
