Os Maias crônica de costumes, retratando, com muito humor, a Lisboa da segunda metade do século XIX, obra-prima de Eça de Queirós, publicada em 1888, e uma das mais importantes de toda a literatura portuguesa, pela linguagem em que está escrita e pela fina ironia com que o autor define os caracteres e apresenta as situações. É um romance realista (e naturalista), onde não faltam o fatalismo, a análise social, as peripécias e a catástrofe próprios do enredo passional.é também um pretexto para o autor fazer uma crítica à situação decadente do país (a nível político e cultural) e à alta burguesia lisboeta oitocentista, por onde perpassa um humor (ora fino, ora satírico) que configura a derrota e o desengano de todas as personagens.

A highly educated and cultured young woman, Laura Franklin Glenn (Devamata) was born in the Midwest in the nineteenth century. Possessing many talents and practical good sense, she was well prepared for the work which absorbed her. She began serving the cause of Vedanta as an active member of the first Vedanta Society of New York under Swami Abhedananda, Vivekananda's brother monk, for the six years 1901 to 1907.The Vedanta movement in the West can trace its strong literary roots to its earliest years, due in large part to Sister Devamata. It was her articles that appeared in the early journals of the Ramakrishna Order, the Brahmavadin (1895-1914) and the Prabuddha Bharata, begun in 1896. She also submitted articles to the Vedanta Kesari; begun in 1914 and considered a continuation of the Brahmavadin.Sister Devamata had a deep inner life whose fruits in the form of wisdom are revealed in her writings and in the lectures she gave at the Vedanta Centre in Boston and at Ananda Ashrama in La Crescenta. More than a hundred of her Sunday lectures were transcribed and published in the Message of the East over five decades. They have been lightly edited and organized to form a wonderfully rich and useful guide for spiritual aspirants who desire to live "the larger life" in their chosen path.

Born in 1940 to an unwed mother and orphaned at a young age, Standing Pat tells the remarkable story of a girl growing into womanhood determined to make a difference in her part of a troubled world. Her stubborn resilience was called upon early when her mother died of cancer, and at the age of seven, the author was asked to make the decision whether to move into an orphanage or to the home of extended family. What follows is her memoir, a kaleidoscope of life experiences including her roles as nun, teacher, and farmer, building and living in a wigwam, a murder trial, health crises, world travels, widowhood, and activism. Now in her 80's, the author reflects on a lifetime of challenges, opportunities, and losses, but throughout, her choices embody the sentiment to bloom where one is planted. Pat's steadfast devotion to providing service, challenging authority, and doing the right thing all intersected with the current issues of her day - racial discrimination, poverty, war, child abuse, and the climate crisis. In a world where it is easy to dismiss the difference one person can make, this book will inspire readers to examine themselves and find opportunities in their daily lives to help those nearest them.

Memory and Erasure is part of a growing body of academic literature to properly document and narrate the Gukurahundi genocide which, hopefully, may contribute to survivors and victims' families' quest for justice and closure. Deployed in January 1983, the Fifth Brigade's legacy has continued to cast a dark shadow not just over Matabeleland and Midlands, but over the entire country. As the title of the book - and also the chapters - forcefully underline, a culture of violence led by the state and those who control its levers pervades the whole of Zimbabwe and continues to do so partly because of the failure to address the Gukurahundi genocide and its aftermaths, which marked the height of Zimbabwean authorities' tendency to use violence to crush dissent and opposition. Collectively, these essays explore different aspects of the Gukurahundi in order (1) to challenge the silencing of the genocide as a mainstream public issue in Zimbabwe, (2) to demonstrate how, deliberately and systematically, Zimbabwe's rulers have refused to allow this issue to be resolved and have, in the process, completely disregarded the views, demands, feelings and sensitivities of affected individuals and communities, (3) to explore and critique the institutional, legal/ constitutional and political frameworks that have sustained the failure to find a solution, (4) to demonstrate how Zimbabwe, as a state, bears collective responsibility for Gukurahundi crimes and should therefore hold itself accountable and institute a clear and honest programme to provide a lasting solution that does not lead to further division, and (5) this collection emphasises, in various ways, that the solution to the political culture that has engulfed Zimbabwe and prevented it from attaining its independence goals lies in resolving the aftermath of Gukurahundi and addressing the culture of violence, repression and impunity in Zimbabwean politics.

الهدفُ من هذا الكتابِ ليس، بأي شكلٍ مِنَ الأشكالِ، إقناعَ قُرّائِه بالإيمانِ بالله أو بيسوعَ المسيح إلهًا، إذ إن الإيمانَ، بالنسبةِ إلى الكنيسةِ، هوَ هِبَةٌ مجانيَّةٌ وغيرُ مشروطةٍ من لدُنِ الله الذي ناداهُ السيّد المسيحُ أبتاه، أبي، أبانا. هو الإلهُ الثالوثُ الذي تبنّى بشريتَنا بكلمتِه وبات معنا، وبتنا نحن معه (عمانوئيل). هدفُ الكتاب، بالأحرى، محاولةٌ الإجابة عن السؤال الذي لطالما يطرحُه العلماءُ أنفسُهم على الكنيسة عندما يسألونَها عن ماهيَّةِ الإلهِ الذي تَعرضُه عليهم كأساسٍ للتقييمِ الأدبيِّ والأخلاقيِّ لإسهاماتِهم، وللتطوُّرِ الذي يحقِّقونه، على مختلِفِ المستويات.المؤمنونَ من العُلماء سيجدونَ فيه دعوةً للتعمُّقِ في معرفة الذاتِ كما في معرفةِ الله الذي آمنوا به، وبلا شكٍّ أحبّوه، إنما بشكل قَبليّ (a priori). أما غيرُ المؤمنين منهم، فبِاعتقادنا، سيُحسنون قبولَ تحدِّي "نظريّة الخَلقِ من الحُبِّ" وفكرةِ "الجسرِ المنيرِ" الذي تمَّ بناءُ نصفِه، استنادًا إلى اكتشافاتِهم.
