The Great Island

Studies in the Exploration and Evangelization of Mindanao

By: Miguel Anselmo Bernad

The exploration and evangelization of Mindanao required courage, perseverance, and ingenuity on the part of missionaries and explorers. While some of the essays in this book afford a glimpse of the endeavor, they deal with only a small part of the great enterprise. Products of reflection and historical research, they deal in turn with the controversy about the site of the first Mass; beginnings of evangelization; construction of the first church; the exploration of the largest river system of the island; the early attempts to climb the highest mountain; and Rizal's four-year stay in Dapitan.

The Waiter and the Fisherman

And Other Essays in Literature and Culture

By: Miguel Anselmo Bernad

Three decades after his first stories were published, a quarter of a century after his novel, Hemingway in his old age writes of an "old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish." On the eighty-fifth day he goes farther out to sea than before, and then for three days and nights he battles mightily with a mighty fish. It is a monster fish, eighteen feet long, great, beautiful, indomitable, but it is finally conquered by the equally indomitable spirit of a weakening old man. . . . "It is true that the story ends on a despondent note: the old man has lost not only his fish but even the glory of his achievement. Some tourists come and in their abysmal ignorance dismiss the enormous skeleton as that of a shark! But the old man is unaffected by the inane remarks of ignorant tourists. He is asleep and he is dreaming of lions.
