Mary on the Eve of the Second Vatican Council (9780268101589)

The Blessed Virgin Mary is uniquely associated with Catholicism, and the century preceding the Second Vatican Council was arguably the most fertile era for Catholic Marian studies. In 1964, Pope John Paul VI published the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, or Lumen Gentium (LG), the eighth chapter of which presents the most comprehensive magisterial teaching on the Blessed Virgin Mary. As part of its Marian Initiative, the Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame invited scholars to a conference held at Notre Dame in October 2013 to reflect the rich Marian legacy on the eve of the Second Vatican Council. The essays unanimously stress that the Blessed Virgin Mary is not merely a peripheral figure in Christian faith and in the panorama of theology. More than fifty years after Lumen Gentium, students of theology as well as Marian devotees take their bearings from this document in order to promote the person of Mary and the study of Mariology, as well as grow in authenti...

Das achte Leben (Für Brilka) (9783627002084)



Georgien, 1900: Mit der Geburt Stasias, Tochter eines angesehenen Schokoladenfabrikanten, beginnt dieses berauschende Opus über sechs Generationen. Stasia wächst in der wohlhabenden Oberschicht auf und heiratet jung den Weißgardisten Simon Jaschi, der am Vorabend der Oktoberrevolution nach Petrograd versetzt wird, weit weg von seiner Frau. Als Stalin an die Macht kommt, sucht Stasia mit ihren beiden Kindern Kitty und Kostja in Tbilissi Schutz bei ihrer Schwester Christine, die bekannt ist für ihre atemberaubende Schönheit. Doch als der Geheimdienstler Lawrenti Beria auf sie aufmerksam wird, hat das fatale Folgen.
Deutschland, 2006: Nach dem Fall der Mauer und der Auflösung der UdSSR herrscht in Georgien Bürgerkrieg. Niza, Stasias hochintelligente Urenkelin, hat mit ihrer Familie gebrochen und ist nach Berlin ausgewandert. Als ihre zwölfjährige Nichte Brilka nach einer Reise in den Westen nicht mehr nach Tbilissi zurückkehren möchte, spürt Niza sie auf. Ihr wird sie die ganze Geschichte erzählen: von Stasia, die still den Zeiten trotzt, von Christine, die für ihre Schönheit einen hohen Preis zahlt, von Kitty, der alles genommen wird und die doch in London eine Stimme findet, von Kostja, der den Verlockungen der Macht verfällt und die Geschicke seiner Familie lenkt, von Kostjas rebellischer Tochter Elene und deren Töchtern Daria und Niza und von der Heißen Schokolade nach der Geheimrezeptur des Schokoladenfabrikanten, die für sechs Generationen Rettung und Unglück zugleich bereithält.

Bestselling author Robin Pauc (Is That My Child?) takes you to Elfland, where through the medium of fantasy, he looks at the learning and behavioural disorders of childhood. Each story (with a sprinkling of childish humour, brilliant illustrations and some fairy magic) looks at an individual issue and helps both children and parents understand the cause and treatment.

Welcome to Hell? : In Search of the Real Turkish Football (9781474604772)

'A book as rich and complex as the extraordinary worlds of Turkish football it explores' David Goldblatt 'Captures the Turkish game with love, in all its beauty and darkness' Simon Kuper Ask a British football fan what they know about Turkish football, and they are unlikely to describe scenes of camaraderie, hospitality and humour. They are more likely to mention banners proclaiming 'Welcome to hell'. Or Leeds United supporters stabbed to death on an Istanbul street. Frustrated by the game's distorted image back home, John McManus set out to show the Turkish football that he knew - the rich, funny, obsessive, fan culture that he had encountered on the terraces. But he hadn't accounted for the politics. Travelling from the elite training facilities of Istanbul to dusty pitches on the Syrian border, taking in visits to far-flung clubs, encounters with characterful players and experiences at riotous matches along the way, Welcome to Hell? offers a un...

Mr Bligh's Bad Language : Passion, Power and Theatre on the Bounty (9780521467186)

Captain Bligh and the mutiny on the Bounty have become proverbial in their capacity to evoke the extravagant and violent abuse of power. But William Bligh was one of the least violent disciplinarians in the British navy. It is this paradox which inspired Greg Dening to ask why the mutiny took place. His book explores the theatrical nature of what was enacted in the power-play on deck, on the beaches at Tahiti and in the murderous settlement at Pitcairn, on the altar stones and temples of sacrifice, and on the catheads from which men were hanged. Part of the key lies in the curious puzzle of Mr Bligh's bad language. Product details Format Paperback | 460 pages Di...
