Описание: 2019 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Jewish writers have long had a sense of place in the United States, and interpretations of American geography have appeared in Jewish American literature from the colonial era forward. But troublingly, scholarship on Jewish American literary history often limits itself to an immigrant model, situating the Jewish American literary canon firmly and inescapably among the immigrant authors and early environments of the early twentieth century. In A Hundred Acres of America, Michael Hoberman combines literary history and geography to restore Jewish American writers to their roles as critical members of the American literary landscape from the 1850s to the present, and to argue that Jewish history, American literary history, and the inhabitation of American geography are, and always have been, contiguous entities.

Описание:
A book of saints at once beautiful and profound Saints in Art and History presents the lives of some 150 saints in chronological order, from the family of Jesus and the early Christian martyrs, to the founders of the great religious orders, to modern holy figures like Mother Teresa. This arrangement reveals the tremendous impact that the saints have had on the history of the Catholic faith, and on world history. The lives of the saints are illustrated not only with works of great art--by Memling, Raphael, and Bernini, among many others--but also by popular images, such as folk carvings and votive postcards.
A thoughtful introduction explores the nature of sainthood, the role of saints in Catholicism, and the significance of their images. Numerous other special features include a visual dictionary of the saints' attributes, which adds to the value of this handsome volume for students of art history.

Описание:
Traded for One Hundred Acres is a real love story based on events that happened in the early 1800s.
Savannah Bowen, a beautiful sixteen-year-old, learns that her father has traded her hand in marriage to thirty-year-old Jonah Bell, for one hundred acres of land.
She is to travel with Jonah from Georgia to Arkansas by covered wagon, tending his three-week-old infant daughter, whose mother Clara, has just passed away in childbirth.
What Jonah doesn't know is that Savannah has always watched him from afar and dreamed of what it would be like to be in Clara's place.
From the very beginning, Jonah makes it clear to Savannah that she could never own his heart, because it would always belong to Clara.
Savannah's faith in God is strong, but Jonah has lost all faith with the death of his beloved wife.
In this life-affirming story, Savannah's loving heart and faith will be tested sorely. But sometimes God works in mysterious ways to bring people back to Him.
