Grundtvig Anthology
Author: Niels Lyhne Jensen
Publisher: Lutterworth Press
ISBN: 0718898222
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
A notable figure in the cultural and social history of Denmark, Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig's (1783-1872) works are still salient for us now. Highlighting his vivacious ideas and personality, A Grundtvig Anthology includes extracts from Grundtvig's historical, educational, theological, devotional, and poetical works. Each chapter is prefaced by insightful explanatory introductions by leading authorities on Grundtvig's monumental body of work, along with a comprehensive general introduction and illuminating annotations. Grundtvig viewed the myths of the North as an expression of the moral values and understanding of life, and his hymn and song writing reveal the same joy of life, openness and freedom as the Norse perspective. By offering selections from across his major works, this anthology succeeds in capturing his spirit in English translation, and continuing his written legacy.

Coming Out
Author: Jay Argent
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781547151936
Category : Coming out (Sexual orientation)
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Living a lie can be tough, but the decision to come out as gay is not always easy, either-especially if you are still at school. Charlie, Clay, Josh, and Grant are openly gay high school boys who share their coming out stories. "The absolute worst room in the entire school-worse than the bio lab during frog dissection season, when the whole room smells like formaldehyde, and worse than the basement bathroom that the janitor never cleans and is always sticky and smells like cigarette smoke-is the locker room." Fears are confronted, tears can't be avoided, and friendships are put at risk. Each story is unique, but what is common for all of the boys is that when they claim the life that is rightfully theirs, it will get better.
