Corduroy Mansions
Author: Alexander McCall Smith
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307379302
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
CORDUROY MANSIONS - Book 1 In the Corduroy Mansions series of novels, set in London’s hip Pimlico neighborhood, we meet a cast of charming eccentrics, including perhaps the world’s most clever terrier, who make their home in a handsome, though slightly dilapidated, apartment block. Corduroy Mansions is the affectionate nickname given to a genteel, crumbling mansion block in London’s vibrant Pimlico neighborhood and the home turf of a captivating collection of quirky and altogether McCall-Smithian characters. There’s the middle-aged wine merchant William, who’s trying to convince his reluctant twenty-four-year-old son, Eddie, to leave the nest; and Marcia, the boutique caterer who has her sights set on William. There’s also the (justifiably) much-loathed Member of Parliament Oedipus Snark; his mother, Berthea, who’s writing his biography and hating every minute of it; and his long-suffering girlfriend, Barbara, a literary agent who would like to be his wife (but, then, she’d like to be almost anyone’s wife). There’s the vitamin evangelist, the psychoanalyst, the art student with a puzzling boyfriend and Freddie de la Hay, the Pimlico terrier who insists on wearing a seat belt and is almost certainly the only avowed vegetarian canine in London. Filled with the ins and outs of neighborliness in all its unexpected variations, Corduroy Mansions showcases the life, laughter and humanity that have become the hallmarks of Alexander McCall Smith’s work.

Unreal Houses
Author: Edith Sarra
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 1684176123
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
"The Tale of Genji (ca. 1008), by noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu, is known for its sophisticated renderings of fictional characters’ minds and its critical perspectives on the lives of the aristocracy of eleventh-century Japan. Unreal Houses radically rethinks the Genji by focusing on the figure of the house. Edith Sarra examines the narrative’s fictionalized images of aristocratic mansions and its representation of the people who inhabit them, exploring how key characters in the Genji think about houses in both the architectural and genealogical sense of the word. Through close readings of the Genji and other Heian narratives, Unreal Houses elucidates the literary fabrication of social, architectural, and affective spaces and shows how the figure of the house contributes to the structuring of narrative sequences and the expression of relational nuances among fictional characters. Combining literary analysis with the history of gender, marriage, and the built environment, Sarra opens new perspectives on the architectonics of the Genji and the feminine milieu that midwifed what some have called the world’s first novel."

Are There Really Mansions in Heaven?, Second Edition
Author: Clement C. Butler
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666717576
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Are there really mansions in heaven? In John 14:2-3 Jesus said, ”In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also”? What specifically was Jesus referring to in this passage? In answering these questions, this book not only offers the proper context of John Chapter 14, but it does so based on the context of the entire gospel of John. Undoubtedly, the concept of mansions in heaven is one of the long-held beliefs of the church. Promoted by teachings and songs, it has become the eternal hope of many believers. However, I am certain that through reading this book, what has been traditionally believed and accepted will be replaced with a message that is far more substantial. One that is established on the Father’s original purpose for humanity.
