Judgment Unto Truth
Author: Milton Konvitz
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351510452
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
This dramatic personal narrative is a unique contribution to understanding past and current events in the Near East. These memoirs of an American Protestant clergyman reveal little known aspects of major events in Asia Minor in the early twentieth century, give valuable insights to their background, and describe pivotal interrelationships with the western world. Those perceptions are woven into the story of the author's protracted genocidal experiences. Dispassionately rendered, Judgment Unto Truth is a call for truth and justice. In the Hamidian massacres of 1895. Jernazian, a five-year orphan, loses two brothers. When all the Armenian Protestant clergy of Cilicia are killed in the Young Turks' "Adana massacre" of 1909, Jernazian answers the call to replenish the vacant pulpits. In 1915, when the "final solution to the Armenian question" is in progress, the author, an interpreter of the Turkish government, is in a unique position to observe the genocidal process. Afterwards, he and his new bride work to rehabilitate destitute survivors. He serves as liaison and advisor during the British and French occupations (1919-21). And during the Kemalist revolution (1921-23), Jernazian loses his remaining family and nearly his own life. Only through a miraculous escape after twenty-one months in a Turkish prison is he reunited with his wife, her mother, a daughter, and a son born three months after his arrest. An unusual blend of religious idealism and pragmatic politics, his memoirs provide a singular emotional experience. As Vahakn Dadrian observes in his Introduction, "This volume is a unique document of historical significanceaThe author presents comments and interpretations which portray him as an acute observer of intricate events." The book will appeal to historians of the period, educators, and professionals with an interest in the use and abuse of state power, and specialists interested in human behavior in extreme conditions.

Esther's Notebooks
Author: Riad Sattouf
Publisher: Pantheon
ISBN: 0593316932
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
The author of The Arab of the Future chronicles the hilarious and heartbreaking true life of a young girl growing up in Paris. "Funny, well-observed...contains immense daring and depth...Sattouf has drawn a portrait of a generation." —Observer, "Graphic Novel of the Month" Once a week for three years, the comic book artist Riad Sattouf had a chat with his friend’s outgoing young daughter, Esther, in which she told him about her family, her school, her friends, her hopes, her dreams, and her fears. After each meeting, he would create a one-page comic strip based on what she had said. Esther’s Notebooks gathers 156 of those strips, spanning Esther’s life from ages nine through twelve, giving us a delightful look into the daily dramas of this thoughtful, intelligent, and high-spirited girl. As The Guardian noted: “Each page of Esther’s Notebooks is self-contained—there’s usually a neat punchline—but read them all, and you come to see that Sattouf has drawn a portrait of a generation: their hopes, dreams and cultural references; the way that their personalities, backgrounds—many of the children portrayed have parents who are immigrants—and preconceived ideas about sexuality begin to play out even before they’ve begun secondary school. The result is a bit like a cartoon version of Michael Apted’s landmark TV series, Up. These funny, well-observed comics are fantastically daring.”

Wartime Notebooks
Author: Andrzej Bobkowski
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300176716
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 698
Book Description
A Polish writer's experience of wartime France, a cosmopolitan outsider's perspective on politics, culture, and life under duress When the aspiring young writer Andrzej Bobkowski, a self-styled cosmopolitan Pole, found himself caught in occupied France in 1940, he recorded his reflections on culture, politics, history, and everyday life. Published after the war, his notebooks offer an outsider's perspective on the hardships and ironies of the Occupation. In the face of war, Bobkowski celebrates the value of freedom and human life through the evocation--in a daringly untragic mode--of ordinary existence, the taste of simple food, the beauty of the French countryside. Resisting intellectual abstractions, his notes exude a young man's pleasure in physical movement--miles clocked on country roads and Parisian streets on his trusty bike--and they reveal the emergence of an original literary voice. Bobkowski was recognized in his homeland as a master of modern Polish prose only after Communism ended. He remains to be discovered in the English-speaking world.

My Gospel Duty
Author: William Chen
Publisher: William Chen
ISBN: 1734964308
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
Gospel Duty were the first two words that jumped into my mind when I needed a file name in order to save my work. My intention is to share my experience with the person who is waiting for any proof of the existence of God before he or she is willing to accept the Lord, or as I like to put it - - to fall to the “right” side of the fence. In addition, my purpose is to outreach to the unaffiliated individual in hopes that he or she will return to God. This book is based on the accumulation of over 60 years of my very personal experience. There are many events in my life that could not have occurred without the help from the Holy Spirit. An incident that finally persuaded me to believe in the existence of the Holy Spirit was when I walked into a Catholic church in Dali, Yunnan, China, a remote town at the eastern edge of the Himalayan mountain range; and purchased a notebook the next day with a clear instruction from my Holy Spirit. This event gave me the reason and the impetus to write my lifelong experiences. This writing is about the existence of the Holy Spirit and my faith journal as an immigrant. Having faith is the best things can happen to any individual because God gives us peace within our heart. I invite you on my journey towards an enlightened faith.
