Trust Me On This One: Three Stories About Betrayal
ISBN: 9781438227115 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The late sixties and early seventies in America spawned all manner of idealistic dreams through which young people thought they could re-invent the notion of the modern. These three stories investigate the ways that established institutions at first allured, and then later deluded, the reluctantly willing protagonist Jack Lindsay. We see the virtuous earnestness of the young teacher waylaid by the shrewd encroachments of his own desire; the continued bending of his sexual morality to pursue the attractions of opulent living and haute couture; and, finally, the drowning of a young couple's...

He Kumulipo: The Creation Story Of The Hawaiian People
ISBN: 9781438225555 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A spiritual resource for sustainable living, this poem records the creation story of the Hawaiian people. It was translated into English by Queen Lili'uokalani of Hawaii in 1897, while she was under house arrest at Iolani Palace, for her refusal to cooperate with overseers from the U. S. mainland. The poem tells the origin of the stars in the heavens, the plants and animals useful to life on earth, all things named within the chain of birth, and all their representatives in the spirit world: how all of this was born from darkness: The slime, the source of ever deeper darkness, Out of the...

The Song Of Confucius: A Poetic Interpretation Of The Book Of Change And Related Analects
ISBN: 9781438218359 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Long before the birth of Jesus, Confucius tried to characterize human ethics and responsibilities in both personal and social spheres. The Book of Change is here arrayed with aphorisms of this thoughtful Chinese philosopher and related commentary. The ancient sayings are interpreted as a book length poem: Good people find ways to be strong, / And they do not cease from trying. / One of my pupils said to me, / "Question yourself three times a day: / Have you lost good faith with your friends? / Have you aimed true deeds at false ends? / Do you preach what you do not do?"

The Song Of The Fire Of Love: A Poetic Interpretation Of The Incendium Amoris Of Richard Rolle
ISBN: 9781438221694 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 450 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Richard Rolle of Hampole, the first of the four great 14th century English contemplative authors, is often called, with justice, "the father of English mysticism." For him the life of contemplation was essentially a musical state, and song, rightly understood, embraced every aspect of the soul's communion with reality. Sudden outbursts of lyrical speech and direct appeals to musical imagery abound in his writings, as in those of no other mystic; and this constitutes their outstanding literary characteristic, as he declares himself at the very dawning of his mystical vision: "Looking to heaven...

Real Corkers: Stories For Children
ISBN: 9781438229591 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Reminiscent of Carl Sandburg's beloved children's poetry, these stories were ad-libbed by the author for his children and then written in a notebook for later refinement, which never came to pass; so that they retain the atmosphere of spontaneity and lame humor often encountered in the last half hour before bedtime, as in this example: I would say the highlight of the whole evening came during the Amateur Hour when three of the most common backyard vegetables from our own neighborhood sang a lovely trio of their own devising, which means they wrote the words and music, taught the song to the...

The Song Of Matthew: A Poetic Gospel
ISBN: 9781438225982 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. To promote a stronger general sense of community, THE SONG OF MATTHEW retells the gospel story as a poem arranged in blank verse iambic pentameter, the form used by Milton and Shakespeare. It retains the meaning of conventional versions of the story of Jesus, while offering suitable texts for musical settings of the entire gospel or any passage of particular interest. The text does not include any of the false and sinful condemnations of Jews which have historically contributed to the practice of eliminationist anti-semitism. The crucifixion of Jesus is shown as the assertion of Roman power,...

Limited resources, increasing populations, and unyielding political and religious systems have engendered conflicts around the world.

Limited resources, increasing populations, and unyielding political and religious systems have engendered conflicts around the world.

The poetry in this book interprets, in a metered format, sworn statements obtained at Baghdad Correctional Facility, Abu Ghraib, Iraq, January 16-21, 2004, and obtained by the Washington Post.

The Palimpsest Of Human Rights: Writings Of Thoreau, Gandhi, & King Arranged As A Choral Text-Weaving
ISBN: 9781438222585 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Writings of Martin Luther King, Mohandas Gandhi, and Henry David Thoreau are here brought into a common format by paraphrasing the text into metered lines (iambic pentameter); the lines are arranged to create three-line stanzas in a single unified master document. The result is a long poem in which the successive lines are bound rhythmically but not always by meaning. In each stanza the first line is from Thoreau, the second line from Gandhi, and the third line from King, as shown here: I hold this saying close beside my heart: I am not a visionary person; You cannot deny we face a crisis...

THE BOOK OF ASHES, (originally called Little Job, or Pety Job) is a meditative fifteenth century verse paraphrase of excerpts from the Book of Job; a passionate penitential monologue that uses as its meditative base the liturgical text intoned daily for the souls of the dead. The original author is unknown. Early manuscripts describe the work as follows: The nine lessons of the Dirge, which Job made in his tribulation lying on the dunghill, declaring more clearly to our understanding, in a solemn and worthy manner, that which will suffice to steer sinners towards compunction. This edition...

The Saxon Gospel: A Modern English Verse Retelling Of The Medieval Epic Life Of The Savior
ISBN: 9781438218809 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The first monument of real Christianity among the Saxons was the Heliand, an epic on the life of Christ in Old Saxon alliterative verse, dating from about 830. The original work attempted to make the newly imposed Christian religion intelligible to the warlike Saxons. The Heliand, extant in four manuscripts, and the fragmentary Old Saxon Genesis are all that remain of Old Saxon poetry. This poetic harmony of the Gospels employs modern English alliterative verse couplets, in a complex structure of 75 cantos, to generate a vigorous retelling of the story of the Christ as an epic tale...

God Wears Many Skins: Myth And Folklore Of The Sami People
ISBN: 9781438221892 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Traditional indigenous cultures in many parts of the world have displayed a profound appreciation of the relationship between human and ecosystem health, something global culture is trying to rediscover under the label of sustainability. A spiritual resource for sustainable living, this poem records the creation story of the Sami, a nomadic people of Northern Europe, and then retells several Scandinavian folk-tales derived from their playfully animistic world view. Their deep kinship with the wild is shown in their awe for bears: The bear is more like people are Than any other thinking...

Poena Omnipotenta, or The Triumph of Punishment: A Poetic Commentary on the Cautio Criminalis of Friedrich Spee von Langenfeld
ISBN: 9781451577556 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the darkest hours of the 17th century German witch hunts, Spee, a Jesuit priest, meditated on the confessions of accused women and resolved to subject the church's torture practices to a rigorous logical analysis. The result is a cogent and persuasive argument against all torture, and a demonstration of the overarching power of the human spirit in a time of trial. This book combines poetic meditations on Spee's uniquely compassionate essays with starkly lit photographs (from a state collection in Toledo, Spain) of many of the torture instruments used by church functionaries.

The late sixties and early seventies in America spawned all manner of idealistic dreams through which young people thought they could re-invent the notion of the modern. These five stories investigate the ways that avoidance of commitment, in both public and personal spheres, leads to critical choices for the reluctant protagonist Jack Lindsay. We see the sad force of a role model's suicide; the calculated betrayals of unsatisfied love; the hidden pathology behind a conspiracy; the hard-heartedness of raw personal preference; the vicious and circuitous powers of alcohol addiction. The voice...

Traditional cultures in many parts of the world have displayed a profound appreciation of the need for human beings to understand each other, leaving aside religious partisanship in a search for common understanding of the worldly, the transcendent, and the divine. Treasures of truth can still be found in texts which were once discarded.
