Eugene O'Neill's Last Plays

Separating Art from Autobiography

My Brother, My Lord

A Journey with James and Jesus from the Temple to the Tomb

By: Doris Broughton Heath

We know much about Jesuss early life and his last years. But there are twenty years for which little, if anything, is known. Did he simply spend his adolescence as a carpenters apprentice in Nazareth? Is that what he meant when he referred to his Fathers work? Or was there more to those two decades? Author Doris Broughton Heath was intrigued by those missing years. She used her insatiable curiosity and quest for knowledge and truth to open the door to Jesuss whereabouts during those years. Heath spent the last seven years of her life working on My Brother, My Lord: A Journey with James and Jesus from the Temple to the Tomb. She brings together Jesus and his older brother, James, and sends them on a journey to spread the Word of God. They visit new and exciting cities and discover diverse cultures as Jesus performs his first miracles. Although a work of fiction, she researched the history and biblical events known to have occurred during that time to add authenticity. After Heath died in 1991, My Brother, My Lord: A Journey with James and Jesus from the Temple to the Tomb sat untouched until her daughter, Linda Stevens, found it six years later and fulfilled her promise to her mother to have it published. Now you are invited to discover Heaths imaginings of what happened during Jesuss missing years. And perhaps come up with your own theories.

Metis Pioneers

Marie Rose Delorme Smith and Isabella Clark Hardisty Lougheed

By: Doris Jeanne MacKinnon

In Metis Pioneers, Doris Jeanne MacKinnon compares the survival strategies of two Metis women born during the fur trade—one from the French-speaking free trade tradition and one from the English-speaking Hudson’s Bay Company tradition—who settled in southern Alberta as the Canadian West transitioned to a sedentary agricultural and industrial economy. MacKinnon provides rare insight into their lives, demonstrating the contributions Metis women made to the building of the Prairie West. This is a compelling tale of two women’s acts of quiet resistance in the final days of the British Empire.

The Grandmothers

Four Short Novels

By: Doris Lessing

Shocking, intimate, often uncomfortably honest, these stories reaffirm Doris Lessing’s unequalled ability to capture the truth of the human condition In the title novel, two friends fall in love with each other's teenage sons, and these passions last for years, until the women end them, vowing a respectable old age. In Victoria and the Staveneys, a young woman gives birth to a child of mixed race and struggles with feelings of estrangement as her daughter gets drawn into a world of white privilege. The Reason for It traces the birth, faltering, and decline of an ancient culture, with enlightening modern resonances. A Love Child features a World War II soldier who believes he has fathered a love child during a fleeting wartime romance and cannot be convinced otherwise.

African Stories

By: Doris Lessing

Long considered Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing’s best collection of short stories, African Stories—a central book in the work of a truly beloved writer—is now back in print. This beautiful collection is an homage to her twenty-five years spent in Africa and a brilliant portrait of African life. This is Doris Lessing’s Africa—where she lived for twenty-five years and where so much of her interest and concern still resides. Here in these stories, Lessing explores the complexities, the agonies and joys, and the textures of life in Africa. First published in 1965, and out of print since the 1990s, this collection contains much of Ms. Lessing’s most extraordinary work. It is a brilliant portrait of a world that is vital to all of us—perceived by an artist of the first rank writing with passion and honesty about her native land. African Stories includes every story Doris Lessing has written about Africa: all of her first collection, This Was the Old Chief’s Country; the four tales about Africa from Five; the African stories from The Habit of Loving and A Man and Two Women; and four stories featured only in this edition. African Stories represents some of Doris Lessing’s best work—and is an essential book by one of the twentieth century’s most important authors.

Bareface

A Guide to C.S. Lewis's Last Novel

By: Doris T. Myers

C. S. Lewis wanted to name his last novel “Bareface.” Now Doris T. Myers’s Bareface provides a welcome study of Lewis’s last, most profound, and most skillfully written novel, Till We Have Faces. Although many claim it is his best novel, Till We Have Faces is a radical departure from the fantasy genre of Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia and The Screwtape Letters and has been less popular than Lewis’s earlier works. In Bareface, Myers supplies background information on this difficult work and suggests reading techniques designed to make it more accessible to general readers. She also presents a fresh approach to Lewis criticism for the enjoyment of specialists. Previous studies have often treated the novel as mere myth, ignoring Lewis’s effort to present the story of Cupid and Psyche as something that could have happened. Myers emphasizes the historical background, the grounding of the characterizations in modern psychology, and the thoroughly realistic narrative presentation. She identifies key books in ancient and medieval literature, history, and philosophy that influenced Lewis’s thinking as well as pointing out a previously unnoticed affinity with William James. From this context, a clearer understanding of Till We Have Faces can emerge. Approached in this way, the work can be seen as a realistic twentieth-century novel using modernist techniques such as the unreliable narrator and the manipulation of time. The major characters fit neatly into William James’s typology of religious experience, and Orual, the narrator-heroine, also develops the kind of personal maturity described by Carl Jung. At the same time, both setting and plot provide insights into the ancient world and pre-Christian modes of thought. Organized to facilitate browsing according to the reader’s personal interests and needs, this study helps readers explore this complex and subtle novel in their own way. Containing fresh insights that even the most experienced Lewis scholar will appreciate, Bareface is an accomplishment worthy of Lewis’s lifelong contemplation.

He Gives You Peace

A Devotional on Finding Peace In Jesus Christ

By: Doris Willis

Peace is a gift. One of the most sought-after states of being is peace of mind. People spend a tremendous amount of time and resources searching for the thing that will give them peace in culture and society, which increasingly thrives on disharmony, chaos, and what seems to be unending crisis. But the peace we seek is not found in other people, places, or possessions. The peace we seek is found in Jesus Christ. Our Savior came to bring peace by reconciling us to the Father. He left his peace in us through the presence of the Holy Spirit. He told us how to overcome the world--by seeking peace in him. He Gives You Peace is a devotional of biblical topics on how the peace of God impacts our lives and daily decisions. My prayer is that you will recognize and seek the peace of Jesus Christ as you engage with these devotional studies. Doris Willis A Measure of Grace

Cultural Turns

New Orientations in the Study of Culture

By: Doris Bachmann-Medick

The contemporary fields of the study of culture, the humanities and the social sciences are unfolding in a dynamic constellation of cultural turns. This book provides a comprehensive overview of these theoretically and methodologically groundbreaking reorientations. It discusses the value of the new focuses and their analytical categories for the work of a wide range of disciplines. In addition to chapters on the interpretive, performative, reflexive, postcolonial, translational, spatial and iconic turns, it discusses emerging directions of research. Drawing on a wealth of international research, this book maps central topics and approaches in the study of culture and thus provides systematic impetus for changed disciplinary and transdisciplinary research in the humanities and beyond – e.g., in the fields of sociology, economics and the study of religion. This work is the English translation by Adam Blauhut of an influential German book that has now been completely revised. It is a stimulating example of a cross-cultural translation between different theoretical cultures and also the first critical synthesis of cultural turns in the English-speaking world.

Team of Rivals

The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln

By: Doris Kearns Goodwin

On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry. Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded was the result of a character that had been forged by life experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because hepossessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires. This capacity enabled President Lincoln to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to preserve the Union and win the war.
