It is 1854, and with the certainty of land behind her, Sarah flees her home for the uncertainties of life in the new colony. In steerage, she joins the other unmarried women, where the horrors of their close confinement bring an unraveling of secrets no one can control. Sarah endures, longing for her mother's forgiveness and the sweetness of her cousin Richard's breath. As she draws closer to her new land, she becomes increasingly haunted by her own tale and the letter home she cannot write. Moving between the voyage in which pigs run through flooded living quarters to the hallucinatory visions induced by heat and doldrums, Christine Balint's astonishing debut novel brings us close to a time when the world was still a place to be discovered. Shortlisted for the Vogel Literary Award. "Dazzling.... A meticulous history and a beautifully crafted fiction.... Compelling reading."—Brisbane Courier Mail

Ophelia's Fan

Christine Balint reimagines the bittersweet life of Harriet Smithson, the tragedienne who brought Shakespeare to the French. Born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1800, Harriet is left in the care of the elderly priest Father Barrett, and is brought up on Lamb's Shakespeare, lime-sherbet sweets, and prayer. A child of traveling players, her ultimate inheritance is Covent Garden, London, the green room, and the theater's rough magic. With the arrival of Charles Kemble's English Theatre troupe in Paris in 1827, the Odeon Theatre is awash with the drama and music of Shakespeare. Harriet is Ophelia. The French Romantics swoon, traffic stops, and the high-society women plait straw in their hair in honor of her mad Ophelia. The fiery composer Hector Berlioz falls in love. In Ophelia's Fan, Balint re-creates the texture and breadth of the nineteenth century and brings alive Harriet Smithson; the actress and the woman, her roles and her loves. Reading group guide included.

It is 1756. In a mountain village outside Venice, 13-year-old Anna Maria Bonon lives with her grandmother and her father, Giacomo. In the daytime, she cards wool at the local mill. At home, she raises silk worms. Giacomo is one of the forestieri (outsiders) in the community, scrambling for work, drinking his sorrows away at the osteria, stealing by the cover of night. When he is arrested for attempted murder, Anna Maria discovers her voice and the courage to tell her story. She walks 29 kilometres to Vicenza and accuses him of rape. The Council of Ten arrive from Venice to investigate. Challenged by her grandmother and the priest, Anna Maria is torn between loyalty to her elders and telling her truth. She must decide whether to affirm her original story or deny it. Will she choose her own safety and justice over the survival of her family? Drawing closely on original trial documents from the Venetian archives, prize-winning novelist Christine Balint brings to life a court case unique for its time, with important echoes to the present day.

Vivimos sociedades del hiperdessarrollo tecnolog co y del subdesarrollo familiar. Un mundo donde aprendemos de todo menos a ser padres. A educar hijos con valores y con l mites. A decir no m s a menudo. Disciplinar. Hay que criarlo en libertad, se dijo. No exigirle. Que dicten sus propias reglas e impongan sus deseos. Un error bien intencionado cuyas consecuencias pagamos diariamente; ni os y adolescentes que huyen, cometen suicidio, masacran o se drogan. La ausencia de la madre en el hogar y el debilitamiento de la autoridad paterna se han convertido en un problema central de la realidad cotidiana que amenaza destruir la instituci n familiar. Solos frente a una computadora nuestros hijos crecen en el vac o. En consecuencia, no crecen. Christina Balinotti ofrece un esclarecedor manual para educar a las madres (y a los padres) a conducir y fortalecer la familia. Una defensa del hecho m s importante y trascendente de la experiencia humana: ser padres.

Feminidad holistica: Tu esencia de mujer

Feminidad holistica: Tu esencia de mujer

Las mujeres intuimos que existe algo profundo y no expresado acerca de nuestra feminidad. Algo desconocido e ntimo. Un cosmos esquivo y lejano cuyas resonancias nos llegan como se ales inaudibles de sitios lejanos. Este ensayo le pone palabras a esas intuiciones. Acorta las distancias. Se asoma al fluir inexplorado de los deseos femeninos y dibuja con nitidez sus formas, lejos del feminismo y por encima de los mandatos masculinos. La Feminidad Hol stica, cuyas cualidades, prohibidas en el origen de los tiempos y, por lo tanto, jam s desarrolladas, nos reencuentra hoy con aquello innombrable. Con lo que estuvo siempre all pero no avizoramos. Un secreto de mujer a viva voz que hoy debes conocer por tu bien y por el bien de aquellos que amas. Por el bien del mundo. Apoyado en el paradigma hol stico de la F sica Cu ntica y en las polaridades del Universo, el presente trabajo es una contribuci n al equilibrio humano pero, fundamentalmente, una gu a existencial hacia el descubrimiento de aquello que en definitiva nos hace ser mujeres. El modelo Holosexual, la t cnica de Reprogramaci n Holo-ling stica, KLIMAKTER, diosa del climaterio y los mandamientos de la mujer se unen junto a una singular interpretaci n de las causas psico-sociales que llevaron al patriarcado, para crear en conjunto un universo femenino, m gico y sensitivo. Un regreso a las fuentes. A las ra ces que no dejar a nadie indiferente.

Travel back in time to view the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the Roman Empire. Join Tranio, the son of an actor, and his friend Livia, the baker's daughter, in witnessing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. Tranio, like most Roman boys, likes to watch whatever is going on: tradesmen selling their goods, ships unloading their exotic cargoes, politicians making speeches in the forum. But one hot August day a very different scene unfolds. The ground begins to shake, the sky to darken. People run gasping for air. Heading for the harbor, Tranio and his friend Livia hide on a boat and witness one of the most terrifying moments in recorded history-the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of their beloved city, Pompeii. Although this book handles the sensitive subject of a tragic natural disaster, this book perfectly pitched for years 2 and 3. It is great in explaining the daily life of Romans from a child's point of view.Perfectly aligned to the KS2 curriculum, for those studying the Romans in school.

Christian Attitudes toward War and Peace

Christian Attitudes toward War and Peace

Roland H Bainton

Wipf Stock Publishers

pokkari
Any scholarship that addresses the evolution of Christian perspectives on warfare generally references this book. first published in 1960. Although the scholarship of this work is now outdated and critiqued, Bainton's work is foundational in the area. Bainton believes that the Christian community started out pacifistic, then developed the just war doctrine, and finally adopted holy war ideals. He traces this trajectory from the Early Church up through the wars and conflicts of the 20th century. Finally, Bainton adds his critique of current militaristic ideas, especially in regards to atomic warfare. (from a review by Andrew Lumpkin) ""This is a book to own, give, and recommend."" --Kirkus Reviews ""No man of the day is better qualified to deal with the intricacies of Christian ethics than Professor Bainton of Yale University Divinity School. He is thoroughly familiar with the literature of the subject and is a graceful and lucid stylist. Christians of all denominations will profit from his thoughtful reflections on our contemporary dilemma in the final chapters."" --Library Journal ""This is a vastly readable text that can furnish the background every Christian needs to rethink his own attitudes toward war and peace."" --International Journal of Religious Education ""Every churchman--layman or cleric--ought to read this book, as should every statesman. It just might restore some sanity to the age--while there is still time."" --United Church Herald Roland H. Bainton (1894-1984) was Titus Street Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Yale University Divinity School for forty-two years. He wrote well into his retirement and authored many books, including Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther.

When Laura Curtis Bullard wrote the novel Christine in 1856, she created one of antebellum America's most radical heroines: a woman's rights leader. Addressing the major social, political, and cultural issues surrounding women from within an unusually overt feminist framework for its time, Christine openly challenges a social and legal system that denies women full and equal rights. Christine defies her family, rejects marriage, and leaves a job as a teacher to embark on her career, rewriting the script for a successful nineteenth-century heroine. Along the way, she recreates domesticity on her own terms, helping other young women gain economic independence so that they, too, have the autonomy to make their own choices in love and life. One of the triumphs of the novel is the author's ability to create a sympathetic heroine and a fast-paced plot that intertwines vivid scenes of suicide, destitution, and an insane asylum with theoretical and political discussions—so skillfully that the novel successfully appealed to otherwise hesitant middle-class readers.
