Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'New Italian Voices' is an eclectic and vibrant collection of poetry, short stories, essays, theater, and prose by twenty authors from fifteen countries writing today in Italy, in Italian. These accomplished, award-winning authors of growing international acclaim come from India and Syria, Eastern Europe, North and sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Italy.Over the past three decades, Italy has become a destination for people driven from their homelands by economic, political, and cultural forces. The resulting demographic and social changes have largely been defined negatively by Italian media. Scaremongering headlines paint a picture of assault on the Italian coasts, a mass invasion disassociated from news about the labor market and linked instead to growing concerns about security.Excluded and objectified in political, legal, and media narratives, migrants challenge those discourses with literary narratives, and their new voices offer a variety of transnational experiences and transcultural sensibilities, exemplifying a broad range of themes and literary strategies.'Blum and Contrada furnish elegant and enjoyable translationsin this original collection of poetic, autobiographical, theatrical, and prose excerpts and provide an excellent theoretical introduction. A major contribution.' Carol Lazzaro-Weis, University of Missouri'What an astounding range of subject matter and style in this brilliantly edited cornucopia!' Benjamin Taylor, author of 'Naples Declared: A Walk Around the Bay'A cogently well-organized anthology of new voices that have populated the Italian literary landscape for some time now. In today's world of literal and metaphorical border crossings and re-definitions of identities, New Italian Voices is an excellent reflection of the changes taking place in Italy today, a country no longer just of departure but indeed of arrival. Blum and Contrada have offered us an indispensable tool in our arsenal of re-considering 'Italian' literature! Anthony Julian Tamburri, Dean, John D. Calandra Italian American InstitutePreface, introduction, biobibliographical notes. 282 pages.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'The Rule in Bits and Pieces' is a collection of over 140 reflections covering every chapter of the Holy Rule of St. Benedict.

Each contributor expresses his or her unique understanding of the power of the Rule as a tool for directing our daily, 21st century lives towards balance and fullness in Christ. Through these reflections, we see the inspiration and genius of St. Benedict in creating a daily rigor of prayer and work that supports our physical and emotional needs and furthers us along the path of spiritual development.Selected Text from the IntroductionSome Christians have undertaken the task of simply reading the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation over a set period of time. Some of them have attested to the value of this kind of spiritual exercise. However, such a marathon of reading, which would be difficult to pursue with ample time for prayerful reflection, may not be the best way to approach the Bible, at least not for most people. In most circumstances, it is more productive to read slowly and prayerfully and to take just a word, a phrase, a verse, or perhaps (at most) a few verses at a time. This method of lectio divina helps the Christian devoted to God's word to be a true listener and to enter into dialogue with God Himself.The same principle might be applied to reading the Rule of Saint Benedict. It has been authoritatively said that because it was written in a prayerful spirit, so to speak as lectio divina, it should also be read as lectio divina. Thus it is best to read the Rule in small portions, slowly and reflectively. Many monks and Oblates have taken on the traditional custom of reading one of 122 sections of the Rule each day. This pre-established division of the Rule enables the reader to cover the whole document three times a year.It is hoped that this book will assist many Oblates (and others who are attracted to the Rule) to read the Rule more fruitfully and to gain more personal meaning from it. By approaching it with greater comprehension and personal insight, the reader may be led to deeper conversion as a Christian and thus also to greater ability to share his or her faith with others. In this era of 'New Evangelization,' may this little work help Oblates and monks to cooperate more fully with God's lavish graces in the little things that they do each day and thus to become better beacons of hope in a world immersed in much hopelessness stemming from the 'culture of death.' .…
