Story
Mark Twain's "Death Disk" was inspired by the historical account of the execution of Colonel John Poyer of Pembroke, Wales on April 21, 1649. A small child was given the responsibility of selecting which of three rebel leaders of a civil uprising would receive a death penalty. The unfortunate fate was given to Poyer who was shot in front of a large crowd at Covent Garden. In 1883 Twain read about the child's role in the execution in a copy of Carlyle's Letters and Speeches of Oliver Cromwell, (Wiley & Putnam, 1845, pp. 344-345). In his personal notebook, Twain's imagination led him to remark, ...

Story
El libro de Esdras comienza donde termina 2 Crónicas. Según lo profetizado por Isaías, el rey Ciro de Persia envió a los exiliados, dirigidos por Zorobabel, de regreso a Jerusalén en 538 b.c. (Persia había derrotado a Babilonia en 539). A pesar de la oposición de los habitantes no judíos de Judea, y luego de que los profetas, Hageo y Zacarías los alentaron, el templo fue reconstruido en 515. Luego, en 458, Ezra lideró la segunda de las tres oleadas de exiliados que regresaban. Cuando Esdras llegó, la gente había caído nuevamente en pecado. Esdras predicó la Palabra de Dios y la ...

Story
This satire on the U.S.A.'s myth of being the "Home of the Oppressed, where all men are free and equal", is unrelenting in its pursuit of justice through exposure. It draws a scathingly shameful portrait of how Chinese immigrants were treated in 19th century San Francisco. (Introduction by John Greenman)

Story
En este libro encontramos las historias de Gedeón, Sansón y Dalila, Deborah, y muchas más. Este libro lleva el nombre de Jueces debido a la interesante colección de individuos que dirigieron a Israel desde la muerte de Josué hasta la monarquía bajo Samuel (alrededor de 1380-1050 aC). Era la época del declive nacional. A pesar de la promesa de guardar el pacto (Josué 24: 16-18) el pueblo se apartó del Señor y comenzó a adorar a otros dioses. Todos hacían "lo que era correcto en sus propios ojos" (17: 6, 21:25) Un patrón se repite a través del libro; 1) el pueblo abandona al Señor...

Analisi di "Natale in casa Cupiello"

Overall

-
Story
Natale in casa Cupiello fu rappresentata per la prima volta al Teatro Kursaal di Napoli, in forma di atto unico, nel 1931. Questo scarno dato storico-temporale, non è sufficiente, tuttavia, a definire e circoscrivere l'estrema complessità dell'opera, sia nella sua genesi ed evoluzione teatrale ed editoriale che nei suoi contenuti. L’autore propone una sorta di lettura trasversale per tematiche, allo scopo di evidenziare la circolarità della commedia, che si costituisce come un cerchio narrativamente concluso.

Giorni or sono ho dato alle stampe un volumetto senza pretese sul fenomeno del selfpublishing. Più un manuale orientativo per scrittori o aspiranti tali che una analisi del fenomeno. Una volta consegnato al mio paziente e laborioso editore il manoscritto (ormai non più tale, in quanto sostituito a tutti gli effetti dal formato digitale), ho appreso dagli organi di informazione del caso di Roberto Vannacci, autore di un libro autopubblicato che ha suscitato molto scalpore e che risulta al primo posto tra i più venduti in alcune categorie di Amazon, posizione guadagnata in meno di dieci ...

Story
La ficción detectivesca es un subgénero de la novela negra, y paradójicamente también su antecesor. Básicamente podemos definirla como una historia lineal en donde un investigador, oficial o aficionado, estudia un crimen determinado, a menudo un asesinato. El primer detective reconocido mundialmente fue C. Auguste Dupin, de E.A. Poe. Su perfil definió lo que el lector espera de un investigador: intelectualmente brillante, excéntrico, solitario, sin apegos emocionales de ningún tipo. Algunas décadas después, más precisamente en 1887, aparecería otro ícono del cuento de detectives: ...

Los temas centrales son: Un cobarde nunca gana ... un ganador no es cobarde, lo que entra en nuestras mentes, sale en nuestras acciones. Dios nunca falla. El gozo duradero sólo viene por medio de una relación con Jesucristo. Los cristianos también tienen problemas, pero ...

De là, les divisions si naturelles, déjà connues, de mon ouvrage en Scènes de la vie privée, de province, parisienne, politique, militaire et de campagne.
