Zealots for Souls

Dominican Narratives of Self-Understanding during Observant Reforms, c. 1388–1517

By: Anne Huijbers

Zealots for souls draws attention to the impact of the Observant reforms within the Order of Preachers, and ambitiously stirs up a broad scope of questions pertaining to the institutional narratives produced within the order between c. 1388 and 1517. Through the narratives and the forms of remembrance they fostered, the author traces the development of contemporary characteristics of the Dominican self-understanding. The book shows the fluid boundaries between the genres (order chronicles, convent chronicles, collective biographies), highlights the interplay between the narrative and the intended audience, addresses the complex question of authorship, and assesses the indebtedness of 'modern' (printed) narratives to older chronicles or biographical collections. The book demonstrates that the majority of the extant institutional narratives were written by Observant Dominicans, who strived for the internal reform of their order. They wrote history to justify their own reform agenda and therefore produced invariably partisan chronicles. The work's method is widely applicable and contributes to further reassessment of institutional narratives as sources for the analysis of religious and intellectual transformations.

Netherland

By: Joseph O'Neill

Hans et Rachel vivent à New York avec leur jeune fils lorsque surviennent les attentats du 11 Septembre. Quelques jours plus tard, ils se séparent, et Hans se retrouve seul, perdu dans Manhattan, où il ne se sent plus chez lui. Il fait la connaissance de Chuck, un homme d'affaires survolté qui rêve de lancer le cricket à New York. Sur des terrains de fortune, Hans tente d'échapper à la mélancolie. Le charisme de Chuck draine une foule de joueurs du dimanche, tous venus d'ailleurs - de Trinidad, de Guyane ou de plus loin encore -, tous persuadés que l'Amérique reste le pays des possibles. Alors que le monde ne croit plus en rien, eux continuent d'espérer. Au milieu de ces exilés, Hans retrouve un second souffle. Mais qui est Chuck? Il faudra des années avant que le mystère qui entoure sa véritable identité se dissipe. Ce très beau livre, souvent comparé à Gatsby le Magnifique, est à la fois une parabole sur la fin du rêve américain et un roman d'amour aux résonances poignantes.
