Every generation has its brilliant virtuosi players who, by common consent, stand that little bit apart from their contemporaries. And just occasionally another, greater, phenomenon appears: an artist so very special that he creates an entirely new horizon for his art, an entirely new approach to his instrument. Such an artist was Pablo Casals.There is no musician today who has not, in some way, been touched by Casals. His innovations sparked a revolution and changed for ever the accepted limitations of playing the cello; his teachings stand as a beacon, proud and resolute, for all others to follow.In the wider world, his courageous stand against the fascists who had overrun his beloved Catalonia earned him the respect and attention of the worlds most renowned leaders, from the President of the United States to the Secretary General of the United Nations.Here, then, is a portrait of Pablo Casals in his own words and the words of others. Its all here: his love of humanity, his wisdom, his idealism, his courage, his obstinacy, the inspiration he sparked and above all shining through the pages like a rare and precious jewel the overwhelming, triumphant and towering genius.

Edición de Luis Gómez Canseco.Vida, ascendencia, nacimiento, crianza y aventurasdel doctor don Diego de Torres Villarroel fue publicada por primera vez en 1743. Esta autobiografía novelada y novelesca se convirtio en un exito inmediato.La historia comienza con un protagonista que parece ir para picaro, pero que termina prefiriendo la vida acomodada de un rentista. De una pagina a otra lo vemos ejercer de estudiante, de truhan, ermitaño, bailarin, medico, torero, soldado, bordador, adivino, profesor, astrologo, hombre de Iglesia, polemista, peregrino, exiliado, delincuente, rastreador de duendes, charlatan, paseante refinado por la corte, actor, sabio o loco.A pesar de la buena fortuna de la Vida entre los editores modernos, la edicion de Luis Gomez Canseco para la BCRAE puede considerarse la primera plenamente atenta a todos los pormenores del texto, y nos devuelve una imagen del autor muy distinta a la del escritor negligente que el mismo quiso atribuirse. La anotacion y el estudio completan una rigurosa aproximacion a esta obra capital del pleno Setecientos.

Una historia de los golpistas en la ciudad de Zaragoza que retrata el perfil humano de los perpetradores que se sublevaron el verano del 36.Conocemos a los grandes protagonistas del 18 de julio de 1936 que pusieron en jaque al Gobierno de la Segunda Republica con su golpe de Estado y la guerra civil resultante de este. Sin embargo, detras de Mola, Franco o Queipo de Llano hubo muchos otros oficiales intermedios e incluso civiles que contribuyeron a la victoria del bando sublevado. Esta obra pone nombres y apellidos a quienes lo hicieron posible en Zaragoza, ciudad a partir de la cual podemos comprender mejor lo que ocurrio en la España golpista. David Alegre aborda la logica y el funcionamiento de la campaña sistematica de asesinatos desplegada por el bando golpista en la ciudad entre el verano y el otoño de 1936, que acabo con la vida de unos 3.500 civiles de toda la provincia. Tras un exhaustivo proceso de investigacion analiza quienes fueron los principales perpetradores de las ejecuciones, desde las reuniones al mas alto nivel hasta el pie de la fosa. El publico lector tiene ante si la oportunidad de adentrarse en las vidas y las motivaciones de dos generaciones de hombres, todos ellos atravesados por los acontecimientos clave de su tiempo, desde la perdida de Cuba hasta los miedos generados por el periodo republicano. Asi pues, esta obra trasciende con mucho la Zaragoza de 1936 para ofrecernos una amplia panoramica de los profundos cambios sufridos por la sociedad española en la primera mitad del siglo xx.

This slow and steady progression of a deeper Christian faith that draws us nearer to Goda "pilgrimage of the soul"fosters in us a love for both the heavenly and the earthly.For too long, the conversation about heaven has been caught between two extremes. On one hand, there is the shallow "escapist" theology that reduces salvation to a reservation for the afterlife, unconcerned with Gods good earth or issues of justice in the world.On the other hand, many of us have overcorrected, hyperfocusing on the here and now and losing sight of the spiritual reality beyonda fatal mistake if our Christianity is to have a compelling message in the twenty-first century. Our faith must once again speak confidently and humbly about the reality of the spiritual worldthe reality of unseen existences.In Unseen Existences, youll find a fresh way of looking at heaven that pushes back against extremes, a vision for life as a pilgrimage to our true home in heaven and union with God, and encouragement to persevere through the injustices of this world with hope.

Though life can be uncertain and unjust, our pilgrimage is preparing us for the world to come, where we will see Christ face-to-face.

Trace Gods Plan of Redemption Through the Old Testament Do you find the Old Testament historical books challenging or confusing? Have you ever struggled to get through these sections of Gods Word or wondered why they matter for us today? Many of us view the Old Testament as something we read simply because weve been told its good for us. But when we uncover the unfolding story of redemption within these books, we see a theological vision that points us to Jesus.Unfolding Redemption helps readers trace Gods story of redemption through the historical books of the Old Testament and discover its fulfillment in Christ. As readers dive deeper, theyll gain a richer understanding of the gospel and see its vibrant connections throughout Scripture. This book makes the theology of the Old Testament accessible and approachable, showing how these books fit together to tell a larger story that culminates in Christ.Biblical scholar Ian Vaillancourt unpacks themes like settling Gods redeemed people in Joshua, delivering Gods redeemed people in Judges, preserving Gods redeemed people in Esther, hope for the ultimate redemption in 1 and 2 Chronicles, and more. Vaillancourt guides readers through the Old Testaments historical books with a clear and intentional approach, revealing how every part of the story leads to Jesus. Unfolding Redemption is an excellent introductory textbook, and is ideal for pastors or Bible teachers as well as groups looking to study the Bible more deeply. With discussion questions for reflection, Unfolding Redemption equips Christians to dig deeply into these texts, see their themes woven together, and understand what they mean for our lives today.

Reckoning with the Colonial Past to Bring Justice to the Present As White settlers spread across North America, they crafted and enacted an epic story of their God-given dominionover the land, over Indigenous nations, and over the future. Their narrative constructed a myth of innocence that justified a massive program of violence and dispossession by suppressing a darker history. That history still reverberates today, from settler Americas relations with the Indigenous nations of the United States to ways the land has been commodified as property. Its time for the whole truth to be told.In Undoing Manifest Destiny, L. Daniel Hawk exposes the belief systems and practices that settlers developed to justify the displacement, destruction, and cultural erasure of Indigenous peoples, beginning in the early American colonial period and extending to the present day. Writing as the descendant of White settlers and as a biblical scholar, he challenges settler Christians to uncover what the settler narrative denies and to work toward addressing historic injustices.In this book, Hawk combines settler colonial theory, historical analysis, and Christian theology to examine how settler America sought to erase Indigenous presence from lands taken by the United States and its colonial predecessors; offers a decolonizing perspective that challenges the church to acknowledge its complicity with the colonial project and to enter into dialogue directed toward setting things right; and highlights contemporary manifestations of colonialism in US interactions with its Indigenous citizens, demonstrating that past issues are still present and need to be addressed today. Hawk asserts that Christians were complicit with programs of erasure, and so Christians are called to confront and heal their residue today. Joining historical research with theology and biblical scholarship, Hawk helps us recognize the myths that shape the American imagination and to engage our faith for a better way forward.This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, educators, students, and readers invested in areas such as post- and de-colonial studies, race and ethnicity, United States history, and social justice. Deepen your understanding of history, confront unsettling truths, and work toward justice and healing with Undoing Manifest Destiny.
