Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "A Supplementary Chapter to the Bible in Spain," George Borrow extends his remarkable exploration of the cultural and religious landscape of Spain, painting a vivid portrait of the nation's spiritual undercurrents through his characteristic narrative style that melds travel literature with an ethnographic approach. Borrow's keen observations of the Spanish populace, particularly the marginalized communities of the time, offer readers an intimate glimpse into the complexities of faith and identity. This book serves not only as a companion piece to his earlier work but also as an insightful commentary on the impact of the Bible in a land shaped by both Catholicism and the remnants of its Protestant history. George Borrow (1803-1881), a renowned traveler, linguist, and author, was deeply influenced by his own experiences of religious fervor and cultural encounters during his time in Spain. His fluency in Spanish and insights into the local customs and beliefs allowed him to navigate the often-complicated interface between the diverse religious traditions that coexisted in the region. Borrow's passion for the search of truth through faith and his appreciation for cross-cultural dialogue imbue his writing with authenticity and fervor. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in religious studies, cultural history, or the intricacies of 19th-century travel narratives. Borrow's unique voice and immersive storytelling will transport you into the heart of a nation grappling with its multifaceted identity, making "A Supplementary Chapter to the Bible in Spain" a must-read for those seeking to understand the intersection of faith, culture, and history.

Tequila Wars - Jose Cuervo and...

Ted Genoways

At the dawn of the twentieth century, José Cuervo inherited his family's humble distillery, La Rojeña, in the Tequila Valley. Within a decade, it would become Mexico's leading producer of tequila. But when the Mexican Revolution erupted, a charge of treason and a death threat against him by Pancho Villa forced Cuervo to flee. His disappearance turned him into an obscure, shadowy historical figure. 
 
 
 
In Tequila Wars, award-winning author Ted Genoways restores Cuervo to his place as a key player in Mexico's formative period. Before the revolution, Cuervo's acclaim spread worldwide, and once war broke out, Cuervo remained an impresario, kingmaker, and cultural force. In the face of his own government's corruption and the nationalism of his northern neighbors, Cuervo reached American drinkers by establishing Mexico’s covert form of cross-border commerce with the United States. As the largest and most important distilleries in the Tequila Valley recognized the threat posed by Mexico's unraveling, Cuervo also lobbied for suspending normal competition in favor of "a union of tequila makers"—what would become the first Mexican cartel. 
 
 
 
The first biography of Cuervo, Tequila Wars uncovers the history of the man who would forever change not only the business of tequila, but international relations between Mexico and the United States.

A Pagan Polemic - Reflections on...

Jack Loeffler

A Pagan Polemic curates the evolving perspective of Jack Loeffler—itinerant wanderer, environmental warrior, storyteller, and story collector—whose true education began when he was marched into the Nevada desert one day at dawn to play "The Stars and Stripes Forever" during an atomic bomb test a scant few miles away. Since that day in 1957, Jack's mission in life has been to record peoples of the borderlands and to bring "indigenous mindedness" to the forefront of the conversation about our precarious environments and our decaying planet. A Pagan Polemic is a sweeping manifesto of Jack's core beliefs and long experience as a fierce (and funny) advocate for Nature and Nature-mindedness and against poisonous politics and policies.
