Beschreibung

In "Christian Science," Mark Twain employs his signature wit and incisive commentary to dissect the emerging religious movement of Christian Science, founded by Mary Baker Eddy. Twain's literary style intertwines satirical humor with earnest inquiry, creating a nuanced exploration of faith, spirituality, and the complexities of contemporary society. Through his characteristic blend of realism and satire, the work engages with the cultural context of late 19th-century America, questioning the intersection of science, religion, and personal belief. While seemingly written with a light-hearted approach, Twain delves deep into the implications of faith healing and the potential dangers of unexamined dogma. As one of America's most celebrated authors, Mark Twain's critical eye was shaped by his experiences growing up along the Mississippi River and his extensive travels, which exposed him to diverse beliefs and social critiques. Twain's connection to spiritual themes can be traced through his extensive literary career, wherein he often grappled with issues of morality, human folly, and the search for meaning. His engagement with Christian Science reflects his broader inquiry into the American identity during a time of rapid change and intellectual exploration. "Christian Science" is a recommendation for readers who appreciate Twain's genius in intertwining humor with serious themes. This book offers a thought-provoking examination of faith and skepticism that remains relevant today, inviting readers to reflect on their beliefs while enjoying Twain's unmatched storytelling prowess.

    A star rookie pitcher is making a statement in his first major league season—but will the secret he's been keeping derail everything he's been working toward? 
     
     
     
    Jess Singer, pitching prodigy and son of the infamous Jewish Joe Singer—who starred on the mound for the same MLB team twenty-five years earlier—is blessed with a plus-plus curveball, possesses immense athletic abilities, and is on the fast-track to stardom. But he's harboring perhaps the most potent secret a professional athlete can possess: his sexual preference. 
     
     
     
    In this briskly paced, highly entertaining novel following three generations of Singers during Jess's first year in The Show, Eric Goodman imagines what life might be like for a gay baseball player. Will Jess live in a confined closet or do what no baseball player has done yet? Goodman charts Jess's path with tremendous sensitivity and grace, while detailing a season as riveting as watching your favorite underdog take their shot at the golden ring. 
     
     
     
    Written with Goodman's usual flair, humor, and zing—not to mention his deep knowledge and love of baseball—Curveball is a feel-good love story in which virtue and a wicked curve triumph over considerable adversity.
