Excerpt from La Roche Tremblante: Le Premier Hareng; Le Chasseur de Marmottes; Les Deux Mourants Mais, sans remonter aussi haut que l''re celtique, la petite ]le armorioeine a connu autrefois de meilleurs jours. Au mo ment de la r'volution (celle de 89, bien entendu, car la confu sion commence a devenir possible], elle formait un fief noble, appartenant une des plus illustres familles de la province. Cette famille qui, sur la foi de son arbre g'n'alogique, pr' tendait exister longtemps avant l'arriv'e de C'sar dans les Gaules, 'tait pourtant alors bien d'chue de son ancienne Splendeur. Apr's av 01r poss'de des cl1tellen1es et des marqui sats, son patrimoine s''la1t reduit peu peu a la seigneurie de l'ile de Loch, tit1' modeste que ses repr'sentants daignaient peine mentionner jadis a la suite de leurs titres pompeux dans les actes publics. La famille elle-m'me 'tait menac'e de s''teindre compl'tement, comme si elle n'et pu survivre la perte de ses magn1fiques possessions. Au temps dont nous parlons, le chef de la branche directe, le vieux vidame de Kerdren, ancien pr'sident au parlement de Rennes, venait de mourir dans son petit manoir de Loch, laissant pour h'llll0l' de son nom et des d'bris de sa fortune son neveu Alfred de Kerdren, jeune homme de vingt ans qu'il avait ad0pt' et qu'il avait toujours trait' comme son enfant. Alfred de Kerdren, [ils d'un ancien brigadier aux arm'es du roi, 'tait rest' orphelin de bonne heure et devait tout aux bienfaits de son oncle. Au moment o le bon vieux vidame, accabl' par l'ge et les inlirmit's, sentit sa fin approcher, Alfred 'tait Paris o il terminait ses humanit's au coll'ge de Navane. Mand' en toute hte afin de recevoir les derniers adieux de son v'n'rable tu'eur, il arriva assez temps pour lui fermer les yeux; et la douleur profonde qu l ressentit de cette perte t'moignade la noblesse et dela bont' de son coeur.

Louis de Montfort presents some refreshing views on the Rosary and its power in this beautiful book. It contains spiritual reflections on the Rosary, its significance, how to pray it most effectively, and many narratives of miracles that worked for those who prayed it. The book attempts to deliver the message that Rosary is the most focused and preferred devotion to Mary, the mother of Jesus. It describes the historical and spiritual significance of the Holy Rosary and examines the meaning behind the prayers, Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be. In addition, Montfort did a marvelous job providing helpful tips on avoiding distraction and faithfully praying the Rosary every day. This well-structured work is a concise, straightforward, yet inspiring read for anyone who wants to find their spiritual path. It consists of short sections called Roses. Each Rose discusses a different viewpoint about the Rosary and is somewhat addressed to a diverse group of the audience like priests or ordinary people. It's a perfect read for anyone who wants to know about the Rosary, whether for religious purpose or out of curiosity. Catholics worldwide have read the book for over two centuries, and it's still an excellent spiritual resource.

This book is an anthology with a difference. It presents a distinctive variety of Anglo-Norman works, beginning in the twelfth century and ending in the nineteenth, covering a broad range of genres and writers, introduced in a lively and thought-provoking way. Facing-page translations, into accessible and engaging modern English, are provided throughout, bringing these texts to life for a contemporary audience. The collection offers a selection of fascinating passages, and whole texts, many of which are not anthologised or translated anywhere else. It explores little-known byways of Arthurian legend and stories of real-life crime and punishment; women’s voices tell history, write letters, berate pagans; advice is offered on how to win friends and influence people, how to cure people’s ailments and how to keep clear of the law; and stories from the Bible are retold with commentary, together with guidance on prayer and confession. Each text is introduced and elucidated with notes and full references, and the material is divided into three main sections: Story (a variety of narrative forms), Miscellany (including letters, law and medicine, and other non-fiction), and Religious (saints' lives, sermons, Bible commentary, and prayers). Passages in one genre have been chosen so as to reflect themes or stories that appear in another, so that the book can be enjoyed as a collection or used as a resource to dip into for selected texts. This anthology is essential reading for students and scholars of Anglo-Norman and medieval literature and culture. Wide-ranging and fully referenced, it can be used as a springboard for further study or relished in its own right by readers interested to discover Anglo-Norman literature that was written to amuse, instruct, entertain, or admonish medieval audiences.

According to Roger Caillois, play is an occasion of pure waste. In spite of this - or because of it - play constitutes an essential element of human social and spiritual development. In this study, the author defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space, isolated and protected from the rest of life.

Hyperion Or The Hermit In Greece written by Friedrich Hölderlin and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019-03-05 with Literary Criticism categories.
Friedrich Hölderlin's only novel, Hyperion (1797-99), is a fictional epistolary autobiography that juxtaposes narration with critical reflection. Returning to Greece after German exile, following his part in the abortive uprising against the occupying Turks (1770), and his failure as both a lover and a revolutionary, Hyperion assumes a hermitic existence, during which he writes his letters. Confronting and commenting on his own past, with all its joy and grief, the narrator undergoes a transformation that culminates in the realisation of his true vocation. Though Hölderlin is now established as a great lyric poet, recognition of his novel as a supreme achievement of European Romanticism has been belated in the Anglophone world. Incorporating the aesthetic evangelism that is a characteristic feature of the age, Hyperion preaches a message of redemption through beauty. The resolution of the contradictions and antinomies raised in the novel is found in the act of articulation itself. To a degree remarkable in a prose work of any length, what it means is inseparable from how it means. In this skilful translation, Gaskill conveys the beautiful music and rhythms of Hölderlin's language to an English-speaking reader.
