Beschreibung

Edmond Rostand's "L'Aiglon" is a monumental verse play that intricately weaves the historical and the personal, focusing on the life of Napoleon's son, the Duke of Reichstadt. Set in the early 19th century, the play is notable for its vibrant poetry and rich character portrayals, encapsulating the themes of identity, legacy, and the struggles between ambition and ennui. Rostand employs a lyrical style that echoes the Romanticism of his time, creating a powerful narrative that questions the nature of greatness and the burdens of heritage in a rapidly changing Europe. Rostand, a luminary of French theater best known for his classic "Cyrano de Bergerac," draws upon his deep fascination with the Napoleonic saga and its enduring impact on French national identity. His own experiences of theater, artistry, and the political climate of fin-de-siècle Paris infused his writing with a sense of urgency and passion, making "L'Aiglon" a poignant exploration of inherited destiny and unfulfilled dreams. I highly recommend "L'Aiglon" to readers who appreciate the interplay of history and poetry, as well as those who admire complex character studies. Rostand's masterful prose invites reflection on the dualities of legacy and self-discovery, revealing truths that remain relevant across generations.

    The cross is the heart of Scripture 
     
     
     
    Everything about the gospel message leads to the cross, and proceeds from the cross. In fact, within the narrative of Scripture, the crucifixion of Jesus is literally the crux of the story—the axis upon which the biblical story turns. But it would be a mistake to think we could sum up the significance of the crucifixion in a tidy sentence or two. That kind of thinking only insulates us from the magnificence of what God has done. In our ongoing quest to make meaning of the cross, we need to recognize that this conversation will never conclude—that there is always something more to be said. 
     
     
     
    Brian Zahnd reminds us that the meaning of the cross is multifaceted and should touch every aspect of our lives. Just as gazing through the eyepiece of a kaleidoscope reveals a new geometric image with every turn, Zahnd helps us see that there are infinite ways to behold the cross of Christ as the beautiful form that saves the world. The Wood Between the Worlds is an invitation to encounter the cross of Christ anew.
