Farewell to the Sea
Author: Reinaldo Arenas
Publisher: Viking Adult
ISBN: 9780670529605
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
Twice confiscated by Cuban authorities and rewritten from memory, this litany of despair--the story of life in totalitarian Cuba--is told through the voice of a wife (who remains nameless), then through that of her husband, Hector, a disenchanted revolutionary and poet. Hector, his wife and baby vacation for six days at a small seaside cabin. There, in feverish lyrical outbursts, they each lament the loss of the freedom they had barely begun to know in early Castro years, and with its passing the loss of everything else--enthusiasm, rebelliousness and hope. Nothing except terror remains, and as it grows, Hector and his wife's relationship becomes intolerable. Under the domestic idle chatter lie their complete solitudes, a vestige of wilted love, her disgust at the messier aspects of child care, his silent fury and homosexual desire.--From publisher description.

Farewell to Model T
Author: E. B. White
Publisher: Little Bookroom
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
In 1922, just out of college and at loose ends, E. B. White set off across America in his Model T. He left his map at home, but packed his typewriter and dictionary--his true destination, he tells us, was the world of letters. Along the way, he also discovered America: "My own vision of the land--my own discovery of it--was shaped, more than by any other instrument, by a Model T Ford...a slow-motion roadster of miraculous design--strong, tremulous, and tireless, from sea to shining sea." White first wrote about the flivver in "Farewell to Model T," which appeared in theNew Yorkerin 1936. Rich in comic descriptions of the T's many eccentricities and the absurd demands it put on its devoted owners, this was the first of White's essays to bring him fame. It is here published for the first time with "From Sea to Shining Sea," in which he conjures the backroads and main streets of an unspoiled America. Together, these essays are an affectionate tribute to the car that holds a mythic place in the American imagination.

Determinism and Petitionary Prayer in John and the Dead Sea Scrolls
Author: Emmanuel O. Tukasi
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 0567033465
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
Tukasi explores the theme of the determinism as articulated in the Rule of the Community and the Fourth Gospel with the aim of uncovering the relevance of petitionary prayer within the framework of the determinism of each book. Chapter one sets out the background against which the themes of determinism and petition in 1QS and John should be understood. Chapter two explores the nature of the determinism in the 1QS. The determinism is cosmological, soteriological, and eschatological. Chapter three demonstrates that the contents of the petitions are in harmony with the determinism articulated in 1QS. In our study of the Fourth Gospel, chapter four demonstrates that the determinism in John is concerned with the predestination of certain people who are designated as "the given ones" of the Father. It also shows that the determinism of the Fourth Gospel is concerned with the mission of the Son. Chapter five analyzes the petitions in John against the background of Johannine determinism. It argues that the petitions are shaped by the determinism articulated in the text. The conclusion sums up the similarities and differences between John and 1QS in their expression of determinism and petitionary prayer, and draws attention to the implications on previous and future scholarship on the relationship between John and the Scrolls.
