This is a true story of the life of Mingo Sanders. Freed from slavery during the Civil War, he rises to become the First Sergeant of the U.S. Army Bicycle Corps and leads his company through two deployments in the Spanish American war, first Cuba and later the Philippine Islands.

Time rights the wrongs done to him when President Theodore Roosevelt's actions are overturned by the first U.S. Army Equal Opportunity Office. Why haven't you ever heard of him?

This book uses the Shaw family of the Chapelry of Bradfield in South Yorkshire to open windows into the lives of yeoman farmers who lived for at least six centuries on the eastern side of the Pennine Hills. The family are first recorded in 1288 and struggled to survive famine, pestilence and severe weather conditions through the following centuries. As in all families, some stood out by refusing to conform to the life of their peers and were early adopters of new religions such as Quakerism, Puritanism and Dissention. Others left the area to seek new lives. They suffered persecution, fear and hardships but had stories to tell that demonstrate the upheaval lived by so many following the Reformation of Henry VIII's break with Rome.

It's been quite a few years since Amma last flew from her home in Reykjavik to England. But now more than 100 years old, she won't miss the first wedding of one of her great grandsons for the world, gathering all the energy which is left in her to carry that precious heirloom which has always been meant to be his wedding present. But other passengers have boarded the same flight with weird ideas about the way things should happen onboard. When the hijackers demand volunteers to be executed first, Amma doesn't have to think very long, not imagining what chain of events she will trigger here and there, now and later. And who is that weird man speaking in the most unexpected fashion? Why is he there, and what is he planning to do about the whole situation? "Life is fragile, handle with prayer" is a motto which may take all its meaning in this story.

Als Jakob Wassermann im Jahre 1897 "Die Juden von Zirndorf" veröffentlichte, erging sich die Kritik über dieses Werk des bis dahin noch unbekannten Romanciers in Lobeshymnen, obgleich das Buch zuerst beim Leser nur mäßig gut ankam. Namentlich Arthur Schnitzler prophezeite dem jungen Prosaisten aus Fürth eine glänzende Zukunft und Stefan Zweig prämierte das Frühwerk des Süddeutschen in einer 1912 verfassten Würdigung als schlichtweg genial.

Pilgrimage is the most essential of medieval studies - that's a conclusion which Tim Porter has drawn from years of reading, research and exploration. Religion, politics, economics, travel, industry, art, architecture - pilgrimage opens into all these fields, and many more! And it cuts across classes and genders like nothing else, because nobody could be denied the vocation, if it was held to be genuine.Scores of places had some kind of pilgrimage attached to them: but the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire region was especially rich, with a host of saints and shrines reflecting every aspect of the ethos. Hailes and Winchcombe in particular offer in a nutshell so much of what we need to know.

Obra criticada por su falta de realismo en la solución de los problemas planteados, al dejarse llevar por un excesivo sentimentalismo y melodramatismo muy alejados de la realidad asturiana, "Abogáu de caleyes" (1944) transcurre en Aldeaclara, donde las marrullerías de un picapleitos sólo buscan sacar partido de herencias y particiones. En este caldo de matrimonios por conveniencia, celos y maldiciones maternas, aspiraciones de clase, triunfan el amor filial, la resignada soledad, la enfermedad, el amor ciego y sentencioso, el deseo de un heredero y la renuncia a las trampas. Es el amor el que despierta la laboriosidad, la risa primaveral, y todo el cariño. Como en un gran guiñol, el amor y sus desdichas da paso a líricas repeticiones, neologismos dulces, circunloquios pueriles, delicadas canciones y el llanto de la felicidad. Hay gran relajación lingüística y lúdica, porque acaba por prevalecer el perdón, el reconocimiento de los propios defectos y el respeto.

"Come sigillo sul tuo cuore" (2023) è la nuova raccolta di poesia mistica scritta da Bruno Marinelli, nei quali vi si intravede l'assoluta radicalità dell'unione mistica con l'Amato, che potrebbe apparire misteriosamente paradossale a chi non ne fa esperienza, perché parla di presenza e distanza, di incontro e nostalgia, di conoscenza e ricerca. I testi svelano tuttavia, al contempo, la vicenda infinita dell'amore, che consumandosi non si appaga, ma si misura semmai solo con il metro di un desiderio infinito. E non si può non esserne avvinti, non si può non bramare la stessa innocenza per cui piangono le sue parole, la stessa sete che esprimono, lo stesso respiro che le tiene insieme. I versi di questa raccolta non si prestano ad essere interpretati: introducono semmai nella strada del silenzio chi si metta in ascolto, in preghiera, e lo mostrano quasi, il silenzio, lo fanno presente, lo chiamano.ISBN 978-1-4466-9991-1

What you are about to read between the covers of this book is the third volume of the collected works of Paolo Cavalli.We first encountered Paolo through his published works and then through several online forums (including some of the non-public ones). In all of these he graciously shared with us his wisdom and experience. Over the years we have exchanged literally hundreds of emails with him in which we have discussed creative and artistic topics in addition to personal and private matters.We have come to know him as a man whose literary skills and empathy are only surpassed by his helpfulness and generosity. We have learned so much from his creative genius, and gained so much inspiration from our conversations, that claiming he influenced our work would be a huge understatement.You will therefore understand how delighted we were when Paolo kindly agreed to allow us to republish his works in printed format. We have always held the view that Paolo's works were not as widely known or appreciated as they might be or, indeed, to the extent that they deserved. Many of the ideas and concepts that you'll find within these pages are not only genuine and original but also reveal the mind-set of a deep and unconventional thinker.The first volumes of The Cavalli Files comprise Paolo's previous published works. The final volumes, under the title Notes from the Lord's Diary, will offer you something really special: Drafts, outlines and expose¿s from Paolo's original sketch books! Parts of these are his 'works in progress', ideas and concepts that have never before seen the light of day.When Paolo sent us his material we set about revising the text and adjusting the layout. Then we thought long and hard about whether or not we should get it proofread and copy edited. Finally, we decide against it. If you didn't already know you could probably guess from his surname alone that English is not Paolo's native language. And even though his skills in the English language are extraordinary you may still spot some Italian syntax and sentence construction.And as you hear the Italian accent coming through the text you may find yourself transported to the sweeping vistas of the land of fine arts - Italia. This voice will, we hope, help you to connect with Paolo as if he was speaking to you personally in your own room.So here we go! We proudly present the third volume of The Cavalli Files: Sigma!
