Beschreibung

In "Callista: A Tale of the Third Century," John Henry Newman artfully weaves a narrative set against the backdrop of early Christian Rome, exploring themes of faith, identity, and moral struggle. The novel employs rich, evocative prose that reflects Newman's theological insights and aesthetic sensibilities, inviting readers into the nuanced lives of its characters. Through the lens of the titular character, Callista, Newman delves into the complexities of pagan versus Christian worlds, offering a profound commentary on the transformative power of love and belief in an age of religious turbulence. John Henry Newman, a prominent theologian, and philosopher of the 19th century, was deeply influenced by his conversion from Anglicanism to Catholicism. This personal journey informed much of his work, including "Callista," as he sought to articulate the beauty and depth of faith amidst the societal challenges of his time. His academic background, coupled with his passion for eloquent expression, enables Newman to create a richly layered story that resonates on both emotional and intellectual levels. As much a work of theological reflection as a historical novel, "Callista" is highly recommended for those interested in early Christian history and the philosophical discourse surrounding faith. Newman's lyrical prose and deep insights into human nature make it a compelling read for both scholars and general readers alike, enriching one's understanding of the spiritual challenges faced in a rapidly changing world.

    The Quest of the Fish-Dog Skin" is a story of the adventures of two Indian boys or, rather, of an Indian boy and a white boy, Indian. These two set forth from the lodges of the Blackfeet, in company with an older Indian who acts as their guide, philosopher, and friend, on a far quest to the salt water to find the medicine-animal that is called "fish-dog" because it lives only in the water, swimming like a fish, yet has the face of a dog and barks like a dog. One of the boys, being of white parentage, knew from books in the little library at home that this strange animal, which we recognize at once as some sort of a seal, frequented the waters of the Pacific Ocean and adjacent rivers.
