Lucia Barbara Brown, primera hija de Wendell Theodore (Ted) Brown y Mary Ella Magruder Brown, nace en Juneau, Alaska, el 12 de noviembre de 1936. Cinco meses después, el trabajo de Ted como ingeniero de minas los llevará primero a Wallace, Idaho, y de ahí a diversos destinos durante los cuatro años siguientes, saltando por todo el país a otros campamentos mineros de Idaho, Montana, Washington y Kentucky; volverán a menudo a El Paso, Texas, a pasar temporadas con los padres de Mary: el doctor H.A. Magruder y su esposa Mamie». Estas líneas preludian la sucesión constante de movimientos, traslados y cambios de hogar que va a caracterizar la vida de Lucia Berlin (así, sin acentos)

Beatrice of Nazareth
No full textAbstract: Beatrice of Nazareth (1200-1268) belongs to the first generation of women who wrote in Middle Dutch. She lived most of her life as a Cistercian nun in the Dutch-speaking area of the Duchy of Brabant (now a region in Belgium and the Netherlands). Besides having produced an extensive account of her life, because of which she is the first female vernacular author in the Middle Ages to write in the autobiographical genre, Beatrice also wrote several spiritual and mystical texts, both for herself and in the context of spiritual instruction. Although all but one of the original writings are now lost, to some degree her texts have still been preserved in Latin in the form of a medieval vita, the Vita Beatricis. This legacy complicates efforts to discern the exact number of Beatrice\u2019s writings, their content, and their purpose
I am a “Pure Goan” but there is No Such Thing: An Interview with Peter Nazareth
No full textConducted between February and April, 2017, this e-conversation with writer, literary critic, and professor Peter Nazareth engages him in topics of the Goan diaspora, Goan literature, as well as his own writing and criticism. As a writer of novels, radio plays, and short stories, and as a critic of multiple literatures, Nazareth is asked to reflect upon historical, personal, and other influences on his work, as well as the reception of it. In his responses, Nazareth draws from familial and personal history as a writer whose lived connections include East Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and the West. Additionally, his perspective covers such moments of import as the end of colonialism in East Africa and the Asian expulsion from Idi Amin’s Uganda. He is also asked to comment upon the trajectory of twentieth and twenty-first century Goan literature as an early anthologist of writing by those of Goan origins in various parts of the world. In so doing, Nazareth recalls how he came to the work of writers Leslie de Noronha and Violet Dias Lannoy, the latter an author whose novel was published posthumously. Further, the gamut of issues covered include inter-communal socialities and antagonisms, literature and identity diversity, and the fraught terrain of claims to authenticity

The role of the narrator in “man of Nazareth” by Anthony Burgess
Get PDFThe paper deals with description specificity of the narrator in the novel “Man of Nazareth” by Anthony Burgess. Azor is definitely one of the most significant characters in the novel. We can assume that the images of the author and the narrator seem to be identical and Burgess`s main ideas are sent by Azor. The article gives a particular attention to the analysis of the narrative features of Azor. Under the guise of the narrator Burgess engages in polemics with evangelists, giving the author’s interpretation of the gospels, which he understands in a different way. His interpretation of the characters is not very different from the well-known versions of apocryphal stories. But at the same time, the narrator becomes some kind of victim of the author. Giving his own interpretation of the Apostles’ archetypal features and the image of Jesus Christ, Burgess also compromises the origin nature of the narrator. The author gives him the name of the son of Sadoc, the ancestor of Jesus Christ, tearing the Old Testament connection.Keywords: English literature of the twentieth century, Аnthony Burgess, Man of Nazareth, the image of the narrator
Trilogy Jesus of Nazareth by Benedict XVI from the perspective of fundamental theology
Get PDFTrilogy Jesus of Nazareth, Pope Benedict XVI from the perspective of fundamental theology In this thesis, the author aims to finding interesting topics in the trilogy, Jesus of Nazareth of Pope Benedict XVI and their contribution to fundamental theology. The author takes into account the other sources from theological work of Joseph Ratzinger and his production as Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI. Work represents the view of Joseph Ratzinger on the use of empirical methods, particularly the historical-critical method in the study of the Scripture, the historical credibility of the Gospel of John and his authorship and the internal process of the text in Church. The thesis also discusses the benefits of the Gospel of John for internal knowledge of Jesus Christ and draws conclusions from the empirical reductionism for understanding Jesus' divinity. The author then discusses the topic of truth and love as the possibility of recognizing their source in God. Marginally mentions the role of the Virgin Mary and her helping to the study of Scripture and deepen relations between Christians and Christ
