Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Clay's mission to St. Petersburg, when all the world was our foe, will always remain one of the most spectacular passages in Russian American Friendship.' Joseph Freeman, Life Magazine, August 27, 1945. 'This man (Clay) is certainly the most wonderful ass of the age. . . It is prosperity that has developed the fearful underlying vanity that poisons his whole character.' William H. Seward, secretary of state in President Abraham Lincoln's cabinet. 'He was a man such as the world sees but once and a character known to all. He, more than any other man, stood for the world's idea of a Kentuckian-bold, fearless, generous, kind, quick to avenge an insult and equally quick to forgive a wrong, an orator and a hand-to-hand fighter.' Henry Watterson's tribute to Clay upon his death July 22, 1903.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Since time immemorial women have been cast into two opposite categories - either the 'Madonna', respectable wife, mother, daughter, sister, or the off-limits mistress, vamp, or common whore. This book traces the so-called Madonna/whore syndrome from its roots in the Judeo-Christian tradition to the present day. Drawing on works of art, literature, and the theater, we find that every age recreates the two principle feminine archetypes in its own image. As mirror images of the ways in which society views and treats women, they remain deeply buried within our collective unconscious, shaping men's perceptions of women and women's perception of self. Neither a feminist nor a religious polemic per se, this book considers several especially timely issues. Jesus' strikingly liberal stance on women, their active role in the Jesus movement and early Church pertains to the current debates on the ordination of women. Similarly, the discussion of Jesus' position on sexuality, marriage, celibacy is especially pertinent to the critical debate about celibacy and the priesthood today. Ultimately , however, by stripping away layers of mythology and restoring the 'two Marys' to their original vital roles - wife, mother, lover, creator, nurturer, scholar, teacher - they become complementary rather than separate categories, a holistic view not only of woman, but of our universal and fundamental humanity.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - I don't remember being in the house when mother arrived to pick up my sister. I went next door to my cousin's house and was sitting on their front porch steps. I was all by myself waiting for them to get into the car. I don't know if they knew I was there when they got into the car at that moment or not. When they drove out our drive, they had to pass in front of my cousin's house. They saw me crying, my sister waved, I knew she was happy and mother leaned close to the steering wheel to look around my sister at me. She had a concerned look on her face. I started to cry so hard at that time and didn't know how to really control myself. I was mad at Aunt Naomi for sending her away so I didn't want to go into the house. No one was around at my cousin's house, so I went to my own place in the bushes and finally stopped crying. I felt so sad and wanted to be with my sister and mother. I stayed there in the bushes until I was called to come in for supper. Everyone was quiet at the table that night, nothing was the same.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'I can always sell the land, if I have to.'Jess knew in his heart that Reau would do it. All of his hard work since he was able to help his mother in the fields would have gone to waste. He hated Reau then with a greater capacity than he knew existed within him.

He sat in the growing darkness, throwing bits of bark and sticks into the flowing water, thinking about what he should do. He had never thought that Reau would ever stay for any length of time, and he knew that he couldn't bear the thought of losing what his mother had considered her home.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In Abba's Way, Jesus returns to set the world's religions straight. Abba is the shockingly-familiar Aramaic name for God that Jesus uses in the Lord's Prayer.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Geography dealt Korea a fateful role. Sandwiched between China and Japan, and within easy reach of Russia, Korea has suffered five major foreign occupations-by China, Mongolia, Japan, and after World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union. It was in that tiny peninsula I was born when Korea was under the heel of Japan, when we were forced to take Japanese names and speak Japanese. With the end of World War II came the liberation, which was soon followed by the Korean War. With the arrival of the North Korean armies in 1950 my hometown, Seoul, was under the control of the Communists. It was a brutal period of indiscriminate massacre and repression. This is a story of an ordinary Korean woman who forged her life under extraordinarily challenging conditions. She and her family weathered the cruel Japanese occupation and lived in a city war-ravaged twice under brutal Communist control. She eventually made her way to the U.S. to study, returning to Korea where she worked during the period when student demonstrations exiled a dictator and a military coup toppled another government. The Divided Land is author Theresa J. Lee's story of faith-faith in her family, faith in her culture, but above all, faith in God.…
