Book Description
This book is the first of a series that chronicles the adventures of a young lad named Derrick as he wades through life, struggling to understand his strangely bizarre reality from the backdrop of the secular world he knows. Like many of us, he is completely oblivious of the fact that he's been deliberately endowed with a gift by the commander in chief of the hosts of angel armies and superintendent of the heaven and earth that gives him an edge in the battlefield of life. The adversary, the ancient serpent or shrouded one, who always likes to be incognito, figures him out to be a threat to their enterprise before he could even comprehend the underlying significance of his rather unusual gift and how unique the experience is in terms of associating the conspiracy of suicides with the fallen ones as its advocate or agent provocateur in the denouement of life as revealed in the written Word. Deftly, they orchestrate his termination; but in a strange twist of events, it turns out to be part of a larger plan, a script within the script. His soul is given a tour of hell to see a selected few of its occupants post judgment. There he sees at least two peculiar people he once knew in the earthly realm who all died of suicide, and there couldn't have been a more graphic lesson on what the consequence tag for suicide is. Alas, now armed with this firsthand knowledge, it is time for him to be returned to his body to be the warrior he's chosen to be; hence, a certain sage of spiritual warfare and ambassador for Christ Jeremy is summoned to be the earthly key in unlocking heaven's portal for Derrick's return and ultimately activate him for the battles ahead.

Epic and Empire
Author: David Quint
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691222959
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
Alexander the Great, according to Plutarch, carried on his campaigns a copy of the Iliad, kept alongside a dagger; on a more pronounced ideological level, ancient Romans looked to the Aeneid as an argument for imperialism. In this major reinterpretation of epic poetry beginning with Virgil, David Quint explores the political context and meanings of key works in Western literature. He divides the history of the genre into two political traditions: the Virgilian epics of conquest and empire that take the victors' side (the Aeneid itself, Camoes's LusÃadas, Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata) and the countervailing epic of the defeated and of republican liberty (Lucan's Pharsalia, Ercilla's Araucana, and d'Aubigné's Les tragiques). These traditions produce opposing ideas of historical narrative: a linear, teleological narrative that belongs to the imperial conquerors, and an episodic and open-ended narrative identified with "romance," the story told of and by the defeated. Quint situates Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained within these rival traditions. He extends his political analysis to the scholarly revival of medieval epic in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and to Sergei Eisenstein's epic film, Alexander Nevsky. Attending both to the topical contexts of individual poems and to the larger historical development of the epic genre, Epic and Empire provides new models for exploring the relationship between ideology and literary form.

Books of the Brave
Author: Irving Albert Leonard
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520079908
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
Since its original publication in 1949, Irving A. Leonard's pioneering Books of the Brave has endured as the classic account of the introduction of literary culture to Spain's New World. Leonard's study documents the works of fiction that accompanied and followed the conquistadores to the Americas and goes on to argue that popular texts influenced these men and shaped the way they thought and wrote about their New World experiences. For the first time in English, this edition combines Leonard's text with a selection of the documents that were his most valuable sources--nine lists of books destined for the Indies. Containing a wealth of information that is sure to spark future study, these lists provide the documentary evidence for what is perhaps Leonard's greatest contribution: his demonstration that royal and inquisitorial prohibitions failed to control the circulation of books and ideas in colonial Spanish America. Rolena Adorno's introduction signals the lasting value of Books of the Brave and brings the reader up to date on developments in cultural-historical studies that have shed light on the role of books in Spanish American colonial culture. Adorno situates Leonard's work at the threshold between older, triumphalist views of Spanish conquest history and more recent perspectives engendered by studies of native American peoples. With its rich descriptions of the book trade in both Spain and America, Books of the Brave has much to offer historians as well as literary critics. Indeed, it is a highly readable and engaging book for anyone interested in the cultural life of the New World. Since its original publication in 1949, Irving A.

Nicolopulos (Spanish, U. of Texas-Austin) investigates the literary representation of 16th-century colonialism by analyzing Alonso de Ercilla's La Araucana, a narrative poem recounting the initial phases of the Spanish conquest of Chile, and Luis de Camoens' Os Lusiadas, an epic celebration of early Portuguese maritime expansion in and beyond the Indian Ocean.

Peruvian Prehistory
Author: Richard W. Keatinge
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521275552
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Peruvian Prehistory offers an authoritative survey of the cultural evolution of Peru from the appearance of the first inhabitants around 10,000 BC to the arrival of the Spanish in 1534. The book is divided chronologically into three main parts, which examine in turn the highland and lowland zones in the Preceramic and Initial periods; the development of complex society at Chavin, Tiwanaku and Fluari and in the Moche and Nazca cultures; and the culmination of this process, the Pan-Andean empire of the Incas, and the way this can be studied through a combination of archaeology and ethnohistoric research. A fourth, concluding section deals with the often neglected tropical forest region of Peru and its formative influence on the evolution of Andean culture. The first collective assessment of Peruvian archaeology for a generation, this volume traces the processes of political, social and economic change in Andean civilisation in a manner that will attract many with no specialist interest in Peru.
