De la fe nacen milagros, pero del deseo nacen historias que nadie se atreve a contar.Nazaret no fue silencio: fue polvo, deseo y secreto. María no gritó en un pesebre, sino que escondió bajo telas azules la culpa de un amor prohibido. Jose no fue un santo: tallo en la madera el peso de un crimen y juro callar para siempre. Jesus no nacio de un milagro, sino de la mentira necesaria que lo convirtio en mito.En la novela, Maria sostiene el relato con astucia; Jose carga con un silencio insoportable; Santiago aparece como la chispa de un amor que condena; y Judas, mas cronista que traidor, observa como la palabra sustituye al milagro.A traves de escenas intimas, poeticas y feroces, la narracion revela como el cuerpo funda la fe y como la fe devora a la carne. La tela azul, la madera del taller, el pan y el vino se convierten en simbolos que atraviesan generaciones y sostienen un mito que aun nos habita.Esta novela apocrifa, transgresora y profundamente humana, invita a releer el origen del cristianismo como lo que siempre fue: una historia de deseo, de mentira y de silencio.

**THE FIRST AND ONLY BIOGRAPHY OF DUTCH FORMULA ONE WUNDERKIND MAX VERSTAPPEN, CHARISMATIC WINNER OF THE 2021 FORMULA ONE TITLE** Few drivers have ever shaken up Formula 1 in quite the same way as Max Verstappen. Already the youngest competitor in F1 history, having made his breakthrough in 2015 aged just 17, his debut race for Red Bull at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix saw him become the youngest driver ever to win a race, achieve a podium finish or even lead a lap. As the son of F1 legend Jos and elite-level kart driver Sophie Kumpen, Max was destined to be a racing driver. And since that headline-grabbing debut, he has continued to make an indelible impression on the sport, courting criticism and plaudits in equal measure. Sports journalist James Gray seeks to understand the outspoken nature and aggressive driving style that make Verstappen a must-watch before, during and after races, and why his Dutch fans, who turn up to cheer him on in their orange-clad droves, are quite so fanatical.

This book is an extended study, in the Post-Reformation period, of the impact of the Gaels in the west of Scotland and the north of Ireland on each others religious heritage. Beginning half a century before the plantation of Ulster, Missions to the Gaels illuminates the origins of the sectarian divisions in Northern Ireland. The research deals with both Protestants and Catholics, rather than treating only one denomination in isolation. The author explores the intriguing situation whereby Scottish Gaelic-speaking ministers laid the foundations of the embryonic Protestant Church in Ireland, while at the same time Irish-speaking priests were almost exclusively responsible for the reintroduction of Catholicism to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The range of this book extends beyond narrow ecclesiastical issues: it reveals the broader political and cultural forces that determined the Gaels choice of religious alignment and traces the effects of these over two centuries of turbulent change in Gaelic society.

This insightful book aims to restore him to his rightful position in the pantheon of chess greats.

A Scots Quair is revolutionary - innovative in its form, deft and humorous in its use of the Scots language, courageous in its characterisation and politics. Central to the trilogy is Chris Guthrie, one of the most remarkable female characters in modern literature. In Sunset song, Gibbons finest achievement, the reader follows Chris through her girlhood in a tight-knit Scottish farming community: the seasons, the weddings, the funerals, the grind of work, the gossip. As the Great War takes its toll, machines repalce the old way of life. Cloud Howe and Grey Granite take Chris from her rural homeland to life in an industrial Scotland and the desperate years of the Depression. The triology as a whole is a major achievment, a picture of society undergoing traumatic and far-reaching transformation. Always readable, never sentimental, A Scots Quair is one of the most important works of Scottish literature.
