Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In this new collection of memories and meditations, author David Roomy explores the union of some of life's great opposites. He considers human nature as possessing a duality: spirit and flesh, refinement and passion-'English' and 'Greek' aspects of our own natures. Through prose narrative and poetry, he recalls his experiences in England and Greece and with their respective cultures through the lens of this duality. Part memoir, part collection of verse, Spirit and Flesh, Englishman and Greek reflects on life's nature with beauty and intensity. ' Spirit and Flesh, Englishman and Greek is the product of fifty years of contemplation and meditation on the life of flesh and soul. David Roomy, with his Greek and American heritage, has traveled and lived in the world and in his psyche, with the struggle between his Dionysian and Apollonian sides. His beautiful prose and poetry capture the feeling of both the people and landscapes of Greece and rural England. The result is that the opposites are united under one cover in a profoundly moving way. His words reverberate and resonate within the reader's psyche long after the book has been gently placed down.' -John Allan, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Counseling Psychology, University of British Columbia and Jungian Analyst, IAAP. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Uncovering the day-to-day routines and activities of a family with seven children should be interesting in any age, but when it covers Depression years to World War II, it's especially revealing. The narrative throughout is in rhyme, and the author is dealing mostly with first-hand experiences so she brings the common and not-so-common aspects of the Sanders family into bold relief. How to celebrate Christmas when there is virtually no money for gifts; how the father attempts to discourage the chicken-thief; how to keep food on the table when the bread-winner has trouble collecting for the household products he has sold door-to-door; and the isolation experienced when TB forces the mother to live for a year in a sanitarium out of town. The richness of the details in this narrative demonstrates the storehouse of memories possessed by Ms. Barnes as well as the insights gained from being a first-hand protagonist in this family's struggle. The six children who grew to maturity had many relatives nearby. The closeness of these relatives displays a dimension of community often lacking in our hectic, modern pace. Of special interest is the way this family (and especially the parents) devoted themselves to their church and its outreach. God's work came first, as much of the father's activities will demonstrate. Not a steadily unfolding plot, but more like a series of intriguing cameos, this narrative portrays a picture of one family's involvement in Mid-western culture of the '30s and '40s. These verses, laced with humor and pathos, show that a home is truly blessed where there is mutual love and a rich spiritual heritage.…
