Lachlan vows to stay until help can be found - and hopes that his attraction to the beautiful Sister Terese will fade.Alyce can't believe it! Her father actually plans to marry her off, after all she's done to spread rumors of her ugly looks and nature. Hiding her beauty away in a convent seemed like a perfect plan. But now this warrior refuses to leave. Little does he know that the ladies don't need any protection. Pretending to be nuns should have been enough, but now Alyce is in a bind of her own making. Can she convince the men to go before they expose all the 'convent's' secrets...and before Lachlan steals her heart?

The Angel and Beehive

The Angel and Beehive

Armand L. Mauss

University of Illinois Press
1994
sidottu
"The past few decades have witnessed an increasing reaction of the Mormons against their own successful assimilation," Armand Mauss writes in The Angel and the Beehive, "as though trying to recover some of the cultural tension and special identity associated with their earlier 'sect-like' history." This retrenchment among Mormons is the main theme of Mauss's book, which analyzes the last forty years of Mormon history from a sociological perspective. At the official ecclesiastical level, Mauss finds, the retrenchment can be seen in the greatly increased centralization of bureaucratic control and in renewed emphases on obedience to modern prophets, on genealogy and vicarious temple work, and on traditional family life; retrenchment is also apparent in extensive formal religious indoctrination by full-time professionals and in increased sophistication and intensity of proselytizing.

Miguel Angel Asturias's Archeology of Return

Miguel Angel Asturias's Archeology of Return

Prieto Reni

Cambridge University Press
2009
pokkari
Miguel Angel Asturias (1899–1974) is one of the notable literary figures in Latin America who in the 1920s contrived both to explore and to define Latin literature within the mainstream of Western history. He managed to be poetic, political and mythological at the same time, and with a degree of synthesis rarely achieved then or since. As is the case with many Latin American writers, his work is inextricably linked with politics, and he lived in exile for many years. He was influenced by Indian mythology, fantasy and Surrealism and was the first Latin American novelist to understand the implications of anthropology and structural linguistics for culture and for fiction. René Prieto examines how Miguel Angel Asturias turns to the cultural traditions of the ancient Maya and combines them with the rhetoric of surrealism in order to produce three highly complex and widely misunderstood masterpieces; the Leyendas de Guatemala (1930), Hombres de maiz (1949) and Mulata de tal (1963). Asturias is the first American author to succeed in portraying an indigenous world vision that is blatantly non-Western.

The Angel and the Vision

The Angel and the Vision

John Davidson

Lulu.com
2010
pokkari
I saw a vision of an angel who had a message. A message revealed to my heart as I cried out to God that I wanted Him more than anything- whatever the cost, whatever it takes. I wanted to be a man of faith who trusted God without doubting. I wanted my whole vision to be filled with His love. This encounter with the angel and the conversations we had I wrote them down as they happened. When I first saw the angel he was holding a flaming sword and kept repeating the words, "form, fulness, and fruitfulness" I would find out in detail what that meant over the next few months. this book is the first in a series of three. The first two are written and I am in the process of writing the third. It is a story told much like John Bunyans Pilgrim Progress or Dr. Dale Fifes, The Secret Place It is my story of going from addiction and being dysfunctional in a religious home without love to a intimate walk with the Lord in my daily life.

The Angel at the Gate

The Angel at the Gate

Wilson Harris

Faber Faber
2013
nidottu
'What [Wilson] Harris is doing is to extend the boundaries of our very conception of fiction.' Robert Nye. First published in 1982, The Angel at the Gate is offered to readers as Wilson Harris's analysis and interpretation of the 'automatic writing' of 'Mary Stella Holiday': an assumed name for the secretary and patient of the late Father Joseph Marsden. 'Mary suffered from a physical and nervous malaise as The Angel at the Gate makes clear. Through Marsden - the medical care he arranged for her and the sessions he provided in Angel Inn which gave scope to her 'automatic talents' - that illness became a catalyst of compassion through which she penetrated layers of social and psychical deprivation to create a remarkable fictional life for 'Stella' (apart from 'Mary') in order to unravel the thread that runs through a diversity of association in past and present 'fictional lives.''(From Harris's introductory 'Note.')
