Fugitives

The Story of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker

By: Emma Krause Parker,Jan Isabelle Fortune,Nellie Barrow Cowan

Originally published in 1934 and rushed to press only three months after Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker met their bloody end, Fugitives: The Story of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, offers a behind the scenes glimpse into the lives of two of America’s most infamous criminals. The story is told by their family members who often met them in secret locations and dreaded the news of their deaths daily. While some researchers question many of the facts in the original book, it does contain letters, diary entries and more that will help the reader draw their own conclusions about this deadly duo.

Faith and Fortune in the Creation of Our Modern World

By: Jan Vijg

This book describes how our modern world came into being as a consequence of a series of accidental events unfolding in Europe from the 5th century onwards. The events that led to Europe’s success, such as a competitive state system, the rise of modern science and modern law, individualism, and the capture of the Americas, were coincidental. They were unsought, unintended, and unexpected. The book discredits the Eurocentric idea that our advanced civilization is a consequence of cultural values inherent to Europeans, such as rational thinking, frugality, hard work, and honesty. Modern industrial society, which arrived in the span of a century after 50 agricultural centuries, is a fluke of history. It came as an explosion of technological breakthroughs in the 19th century, turning the world European when its technology and economic, political, and cultural consequences quickly spread all over the planet. This book argues that our modern, advanced civilization is unique and is unlikely to be found anywhere else in the universe.

Wu Yun's Way

Life and Works of an Eighth-Century Daoist Master

By: Jan de Meyer

Here is the first booklength study of the life and works of Wu Yun, one of the most remarkable figures of eighth-century Daoism. Blending literary criticism with religious and cultural history, this book assesses the importance of Wu Yun the Daoist priest, the poet, the anti-Buddhist, the defender of reclusion and the philosopher of immortality, and in doing so, sheds new light on the very nature of Tang dynasty Daoism. The book, which should be of special interest to students of Tang literature and Medieval Daoism alike, alternates narrative and analysis with annotated translations of two thirds of Wu Yun’s remaining writings, including two stela inscriptions, three prose treatises, four rhapsodies and several dozens of poems.

A Novel Nightmare

The Purloined Story

By: Jan Fields

Until now Uncle Dan has only used classic books in his program, so being commissioned to turn a new manuscript into a virtual reality world sounds exciting--but while they are testing the program, Isabelle realizes that the book is plagiarized from The purloined letter, and it is up to Carter to teach the author a lesson.

Renaissance de L'enluminure Médiévale

Manuscrits Et Enluminures Belges Du XIXe Siègle Et Leur Contexte Européen

By: Jan de Maeyer

KADOC Artes 8The art of illumination, usually associated with the Middle Ages, experienced a spectacular revival in nineteenth-century Western Europe. This completely different context gave the illuminations another import. The output of the lay and religious workshops reveals a great artistic, stylistic, technical, and thematic diversity. The works illuminated go far beyond the world of exceptional and precious manuscripts and include many occasional documents and devotional images.Richly illustrated with unpublished masterworks, The Revival of Medieval Illumination is an overview of the form by fifteen authors who do not limit their approach to the traditional questions of art history. Rather, they explore the historical, sociocultural, ideological and religious components of the revival, which changed according to time and country, in order to understand the evolution and success of the art of illumination in the long nineteenth century.

Justus Lipsius, Monita et exempla politica / Political Admonitions and Examples

By: Jan Papy,Toon Van Houdt,Marijke Janssens

In 17th-century intellectual life, the ideas of the Renaissance humanist Justus Lipsius (1547–1606) were omnipresent. The publication of his Politica in 1589 had made Lipsius' name as an original and controversial political thinker. The sequel, the Monita et exempla politica (Political admonitions and examples), published in 1605, was meant as an illustration of Lipsius political thought as expounded in the Politica. Its aim was to offer concrete models of behavior for rulers against the background of Habsburg politics. Lipsius' later political treatise also forms an indispensable key to interpret the place and function of the Politica in Lipsius’ political discourse and in early modern political thought. The Political admonitions and examples – widely read, edited, and translated in the 17th and 18th centuries – show Lipsius’ pivotal role in the genesis of modern political philosophy.

A Literary History of Reconciliation

Power, Remorse and the Limits of Forgiveness

By: Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A Literary History of Reconciliation

Power, Remorse and the Limits of Forgiveness

By: Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen

From William Shakespeare to Marilynne Robinson, this book examines representations of interpersonal reconciliation in works of literature, focusing on how these representations draw on the language of divine forgiveness. Christian theology sees divine forgiveness as conditional upon a sinner's remorse and self-abasement before God, but also as a form of grace – unconditional and rooted only in divine love. Van Dijkhuizen explores what happens when this paradoxical forgiveness paradigm comes to serve as a template for interpersonal reconciliation. As A Literary History of Reconciliation shows, literary writers imagine interpersonal reconciliation as being centrally about power and hierarchy, and present forgiveness without power as longed for but ever elusive. Drawing on major works of literature from the early modern era to the present day, this book explores works by John Milton, Virginia Woolf, J.M. Coetzee, Ian McEwan and others to craft a literary history that will appeal to readers interested in literature, religion and philosophy.
