Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much. The eminent literary critic Lewis Gannett wrote, “We have had many novels from statesmen and reformers, almost all bad; many novels from poets, almost all thin.
In Alan Paton’s Cry, the Beloved Country the statesman, the poet and the novelist meet in a unique harmony.” Cry, the Beloved Country is the deeply moving story of the Zulu pastor Stephen Kumalo and his son, Absalom, set against the background of a land and a people riven by racial injustice. Remarkable for its lyricism, unforgettable for character and incident, Cry, the Beloved Country is a classic work of love and hope, courage and endurance, born of the dignity of man.

Author by: Sonia Sotomayor Language: en Publisher by: Vintage Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 40 Total Download: 116 File Size: 50,8 Mb Description: The first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor has become an instant American icon. Now, with a candor and intimacy never undertaken by a sitting Justice, she recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a journey that offers an inspiring testament to her own extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself. Here is the story of a precarious childhood, with an alcoholic father (who would die when she was nine) and a devoted but overburdened mother, and of the refuge a little girl took from the turmoil at home with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. But it was when she was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes that the precocious Sonia recognized she must ultimately depend on herself. She would learn to give herself the insulin shots she needed to survive and soon imagined a path to a different life.
With only television characters for her professional role models, and little understanding of what was involved, she determined to become a lawyer, a dream that would sustain her on an unlikely course, from valedictorian of her high school class to the highest honors at Princeton, Yale Law School, the New York County District Attorney’s office, private practice, and appointment to the Federal District Court before the age of forty. Along the way we see how she was shaped by her invaluable mentors, a failed marriage, and the modern version of extended family she has created from cherished friends and their children. Through her still-astonished eyes, America’s infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book, destined to become a classic of self-invention and self-discovery.

Vaux Language: en Publisher by: Wipf and Stock Publishers Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 38 Total Download: 843 File Size: 53,9 Mb Description: In this comprehensive volume, Dr. Vaux explores the shared theological ground of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam-the common God, the common good, the common word, and the common work. Based on the premise that the three Abrahamic faiths are given by God for some purpose in God's universal history, Journey Into An Interfaith World traces the ways in which these faith movements flow together from and into each other in synergistic ways. At the same time, the book reveals how each fraternal faith has missed the mark in disassociating from its sibling traditions.
Vaux's 'journey' examines the spiritual genealogy shared by the three cognate faiths-from whom we come-as well as the mutual spiritual ontology-to whom we belong. 'All three traditions echo the same refrain: 'Do we not belong to One God?' Author by: Frances J.

Toni Morrison American author Toni Morrison, 2009. © Olga Besnard/Dreamstime.com The novel is based on the true story of a black slave woman, Margaret Garner, who in 1856 escaped from a plantation with her husband Robert and sought refuge in. Slave catchers soon caught up with the family, and before their recapture Margaret killed her young daughter to prevent her return to slavery. In the novel, Sethe is also a passionately devoted mother, and in an act of supreme love and sacrifice she too tries to kill her children to keep them from slavery. She succeeds only in killing her two-year-old daughter, and since she has not the energy to “pay” for two words on her child’s tombstone (each word costs her ten minutes of sex with the engraver) not “Dearly Beloved” but only “Beloved” was ultimately carved on the stone.
From their bodies to their labour, all aspects of slaves were considered merchandise. Garner, Margaret; captors Slave catchers confront Margaret Garner near the body of the daughter she has killed, wood engraving after a painting by Thomas Noble, published in the May 18, 1867, edition of Harper's Weekly. The story of fugitive slave Garner—who in January 1856, while attempting to escape Kentucky with her family, killed her daughter and intended to kill her other three children and herself rather than allowing them to be captured and returned to slavery—inspired Toni Morrison's novel Beloved (1987).
