En el verano de 2007, Aura Estrada, la joven escritora casada con Francisco Goldman, falleció de manera repentina en una playa de Oaxaca. Durante el largo periodo de luto y postrauma, el novelista estadounidense escribio una novela que retrata su relacion amorosa, desde sus origenes hasta esa tragica mañana, pero tambien la soledad y el horror de seguir viviendo sin ella.La esposa del narrador era una mujer marcada por el abandono paterno, por el agradecimiento y la culpa que le inspiraba su sacrificada madre, cuyas expectativas se esforzaba en cumplir. Por su parte, Frank, el personaje masculino, es un hombre que ha conocido la decepcion y el rechazo a lo largo de su historia. Dañado tambien por la violencia familiar, se rie constantemente de si mismo, de su enamoramiento, de su inmadurez y nos detalla el ridiculo que con frecuencia sentia por la diferencia de edades entre el y Aura. El idilio de ambos se finca en buena medida en el reconocimiento de estas taras y en la voluntad de proteger al otro. Por esto, quizas la mayor cualidad de este libro radique en la honestidad que lo inspira. Mas que intentar convencernos de algo, la intencion de Goldman como la de los grandes novelistas es mostrarnos la vida con sus multiples contradicciones y claroscuros, la carga de odio que muchas veces hay dentro del amor, las traiciones que inevitablemente cometen quienes mas nos aman. Todo esto con un increible sentido del humor, a veces realmente acido, que contagia a sus lectores y los libera del peso de la tragedia. Mas que un libro de luto y de perdida, mas que un extenso lamento, Di su nombre es una novela luminosa que describe la felicidad y su naturaleza atemporal y consigue, con un despliegue impresionante de recursos literarios, hacernosla sentir en su burbujeante euforia.

A spirited and stirring return to the poets boyhood and the town that made him This autobiographical collection candidly explores Daljit Nagras experiences growing up from the sixties to the eighties in the predominantly white working-class town of Yiewsley, close to Heathrow airport in Outer London. As Britain transitions from a post-war manufacturing economy to the Thatcher years and the computer age, we see a young boy navigating childhood friendships and mishaps. The poems bring to life a bustling house filled with relatives from India, who had arrived, legally or otherwise, in the UK: devout realists already, and always, knuckled into work. They also offer powerful insight into the makings of the writer: the messy English at home fusing with Bollywood ballads, Top of the Pops and hymns at school, to develop a voice entirely his own.[Nagras poems] do that rare thing in poetry of stretching language, making it do things it hasnt done before. Its multiculturalism at its most complex, individual and real.Scotland on SundayA book of guts and heart, an honest, often polemical collection that posits worn-on-the-sleeve, personal and public questions without implying simple answers.TLS, on British Museum

"When we interact with our LGBTQ+ neighbors we are not interacting with an ideology, a political movement, a social media post, a caricature from a movie, or a law being debated in Congress. We are interacting with people made in the image of God, who our Savior bled and died to redeem. We are interacting with someone God literally loved to the point of his own death." Cultivate Community With LGBTQ+ Neighbors Too often, fear and suspicion have characterized churches response to LGTBQ+ people. As we remain committed to the historic Christian teachings about marriage and sexuality, American evangelical churches have also harmed a community we have not understood. Our default has been to keep LGBTQ+ people at arms length. But there is another way, one that resists both culture wars and the pressure to revise scriptural teaching; one that embraces people and clings to historic witness. In Love All Our Neighbors, Tony Scarcello shows how holding a traditional sexual ethic does not have to lead toward the exclusion of LGBTQ+ people from church. Drawing from biblical theology, cultural data, and the authors personal experience as a same-sex-attracted pastor, this bookteaches traditional Christians and churches how to truly care for LGBTQ+ people. Scarcello explains how churches can and should be places of conviction, humility, and radical love for everyone. In Love All Our Neighbors, youll learn how Jesus loves LGBTQ+ people and desires to know them, how churches have built unbiblical barriers between LGBTQ+ people and Jesus, and how to dismantle these barriers and minister with care, without compromising orthodox theology. If youre a church leader who upholds a traditional sexual ethic and seeks to genuinely care for LGBTQ+ individuals, youll find this book both challenging and transformative. With thoughtful guidance, Love All Our Neighbors equips churches committed to historic Christian teaching to overcome barriers, fostering a Jesus-centered, life-giving community that embraces everyone with grace and love. Our churches can become environments where LGBTQ+people can find and follow Jesus in life-giving community.

Heaven: Why It Matters Here and Now Have we forgotten heaven? Bestselling author and pastor Brian Zahnd invites us to remember heaven, to experience and embrace the divine mystery of the spiritual realm in this lifetime. This slow and steady progression of a deeper Christian faith that draws us nearer to Goda "pilgrimage of the soul"fosters in us a love for both the heavenly and the earthly. For too long, the conversation about heaven has been caught between two extremes. On one hand, there is the shallow "escapist" theology that reduces salvation to a reservation for the afterlife, unconcerned with Gods good earth or issues of justice in the world. On the other hand, manyof us have overcorrected, hyperfocusing on the here and now and losing sight of the spiritual reality beyonda fatal mistake if our Christianity is to have a compelling message in the twenty-first century. Our faith must once again speak confidentlyand humbly about the reality of the spiritual worldthe reality of unseen existences. In Unseen Existences, youll find a fresh way of looking at heaven that pushes back against extremes, a vision for life as a pilgrimage to our true home in heaven and union with God, and encouragement to persevere through the injustices of this world with hope. Unseen Existences will help you renew your faith, expandyour perspective, and re-embrace the divine mystery of heaven. Though life can be uncertain and unjust, our pilgrimage is preparing us for the world to come, where we will see Christ face-to-face. With the company of our Helper, Advocate, and Comforter, we press on, trusting he will lead us home.

From the author of A Ghost in the Throat, an unforgettable book - both history and ghost story - that will leave you gasping by its final page.In the city of Cork, a derelict Victorian mental hospital is being converted into modern apartments. One passerby has always flinched as she passes the place. Had she lived in another time, she too might have found herself held within those walls.Now, she notices a sign: FOR SALE.It is the first of many signs. Guided by an irresistible impulse, she follows them. Soon, she is trespassing, stealing, absconding from the routine of mother, spouse, daughter, as she uncovers a chorus of startling voices: those of the women who knew the hospital best. They murmur from archives and old records. They haunt from stairwells and walls. In them - and in one figure in particular -- she may find meaning and solace, righteous anger, salvation even. Or her final vanishing?A work of sublime intensity and tenderness, Said the Dead breaks the boundaries between worlds -- past and present, imagined and real, fact and fiction -- to make something new and lasting: an experience full of danger, full of love and full of truth.Praise for the work of Doireann Ni GhriofaThe effect is electric, like seeing a ghost returned to life.New Statesman Obliterates every clear definition of genre and form . . .

Nietzsche e Wagner em Bayreuth traz o texto "Richard Wagner em Bayreuth", de Nietzsche, acompanhado de um extenso ensaio do tradutor Henry Burnett sobre a relaço entre Nietzsche e Richard Wagner, o lugar do compositor na modernidade e os desdobramentos de sua obra na cultura dos seculos XX e XXI.Escrito no contexto do primeiro Festival de Bayreuth, em 1876, o texto de Nietzsche e, simultaneamente, uma homenagem entusiasmada a Wagner e o prenuncio da ruptura que viria poucos anos depois. Nietzsche ve no compositor uma figura excepcional, capaz de reunir musica, teatro, filosofia, mito e historia em um mesmo projeto de renovaço cultural. Ao mesmo tempo, porem, ja se insinuam as fissuras que mais tarde se tornariam irreconciliaveis.Mais do que contextualizar a traduço, o ensaio de Burnett acompanha o processo gradual de distanciamento entre os dois, mostrando como a admiraço pelo compositor se transforma, aos poucos, em uma critica ao monumentalismo, ao nacionalismo, ao cristianismo e a relaço entre arte e massas. Em vez de tratar Wagner apenas como compositor ou Nietzsche apenas como filosofo, Burnett investiga o modo como ambos se tornaram simbolos de um impasse que ainda atravessa o presente: o conflito entre arte, tecnica, poder e seduço coletiva.
