Beschreibung

"The Story of Joan of Arc" by Andrew Lang takes readers on an enthralling journey through the tumultuous pages of history, vividly portraying the awe-inspiring life of the Maid of Orleans. In this meticulously researched narrative, Lang masterfully weaves together the strands of Joan's extraordinary tale, emphasizing her pivotal role in the defense of France during the harrowing years of the Hundred Years' War.

As the English sought to tighten their grip on French territory, Joan emerged as a beacon of hope and an unlikely champion for her countrymen. Lang skillfully chronicles Joan's meteoric rise from a humble peasant girl to a fearless military leader, driven by her unwavering belief in divine visions that compelled her to rally the French forces and turn the tide of the war.

With a keen eye for historical detail, Lang captures the intensity of the battles, the political machinations, and the religious fervor that defined Joan's era. The narrative crescendos as Joan, guided by her unshakable faith and conviction, not only plays a pivotal role in securing France's liberation but also earns a place as a messenger of God in the hearts of her compatriots.

However, as the winds of war subside, the story takes a poignant turn, delving into Joan's tragic fate. Lang sensitively portrays her struggles against political intrigue, her capture by the English, and the heart-wrenching trial that ultimately led to her martyrdom. Through Joan's unyielding courage and sacrifice, readers witness the profound intersection of faith, duty, and destiny.

"The Story of Joan of Arc" is not merely a historical account but a deeply moving exploration of one woman's indomitable spirit in the face of adversity. As Joan ascends to the status of a saint in the Catholic Church, Lang's narrative leaves an indelible mark, inviting readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of this remarkable heroine who, against all odds, left an indelible imprint on the pages of both history and faith.

    We begin with a drive to write something that's never been said before, to protest, to offload, to challenge or catch the zeitgeist. We imagine we write like the poets we admire. Slowly we learn the craft, understanding eventually that a writer is indentured for life.
    Drawing on decades of experience as a poet and tutor, this compelling book is part hands-on guide and part reflection on ways that poetry can make a difference to how we live. It is also a survey of many varied and inspirational writers, especially women poets from the end of the 20th century.
    The final section of this unique book offers starting points and resources that will prove essential for new and experienced poets alike. Jackie Wills is herself one of our most genuine and brilliantly insightful poets; and, as the sections on writing workshops show, she has helped people of all ages find their way into poetry.

    Politics for Everybody - Reading...

    Ned O'Gorman

    In this age of nearly unprecedented partisan rancor, you’d be forgiven for thinking we could all do with a smaller daily dose of politics. In his provocative and sharp book, however, Ned O’Gorman argues just the opposite: Politics for Everybody contends that what we really need to do is engage more deeply with politics, rather than chuck the whole thing out the window. In calling for a purer, more humanistic relationship with politics—one that does justice to the virtues of open, honest exchange—O’Gorman draws on the work of Hannah Arendt (1906–75). As a German-born Jewish thinker who fled the Nazis for the United States, Arendt set out to defend politics from its many detractors along several key lines: the challenge of separating genuine politics from distorted forms; the difficulty of appreciating politics for what it is; the problems of truth and judgment in politics; and the role of persuasion in politics. O’Gorman’s book offers an insightful introduction to Arendt’s ideas for anyone who wants to think more carefully.

    Nevertheless - Machiavelli Pascal

    Nevertheless comprises essays on Machiavelli and on Pascal. The ambivalent connection between the two parts is embodied by the comma (,) in the subtitle: Machiavelli, Pascal. Is this comma a conjunction or a disjunction? 
     
     
     
    In fact, both. Ginzburg approaches Machiavelli's work from the perspective of casuistry, or case-based ethical reasoning. For as Machiavelli indicated through his repeated use of the adverb nondimanco ("nevertheless"), there is an exception to every rule. Such a perspective may seem to echo the traditional image of Machiavelli as a cynical, "Machiavellian" thinker. But a close analysis of Machiavelli the reader, as well as of the ways in which some of Machiavelli's most perceptive readers read his work, throws a different light on Machiavelli the writer. The same hermeneutic strategy inspires the essays on the Provinciales, Pascal's ferocious attack against Jesuitical casuistry. 
     
     
     
    Casuistry vs anti-casuistry; Machiavelli's secular attitude towards religion vs Pascal's deep religiosity. We are confronted, apparently, with two completely different worlds. But Pascal read Machiavelli, and reflected deeply upon his work. A belated, contemporary echo of this reading can unveil the complex relationship between Machiavelli and Pascal—their divergences as well as their unexpected convergences.
