E-BooksAnselm of Canterbury and his Theological Inheritance



Anselm of Canterbury and his Theological Inheritance
Free Download Giles E.M. Gasper, "Anselm of Canterbury and his Theological Inheritance"
English | ISBN: 0754639118 | 2004 | 224 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Anselm of Canterbury is one of the most famous of medieval Christian thinkers, who left a considerable political and intellectual inheritance of his own. This book reveals that the theological and intellectual inheritance available to Anselm was more dynamic, broader and deeper than is traditionally thought and Anselm was influenced by more than just the works of St Augustine. Giles Gasper focuses particularly on the part played by the translated works of the Greek Fathers. Demonstrating how widely the writings of the Fathers of the Church were available in western libraries, Gasper goes on to compare key aspects of doctrine in Anselm's thought with that of the notable Greek Fathers. Questioning the way in which Anselm and other authors have been described, this book moves away from well worn routes of interpretation and provides new perspectives on this most significant figure in the history of the church, the middle ages, and western thought.

E-BooksSuleyman the Magnificent and His Age The Ottoman Empire in the Early Modern World



Suleyman the Magnificent and His Age The Ottoman Empire in the Early Modern World
Free Download Christine Woodhead, Metin Kunt, "Suleyman the Magnificent and His Age: The Ottoman Empire in the Early Modern World"
English | 2013 | pages: 233 | ISBN: 0582038278, 1138836257, 0582038286 | PDF | 6,4 mb
Suleyman the Magnificent dominated the Ottoman and the eastern Mediterranean worlds - and the imaginations of his contemporaries. During his reign (1520-1566) the Ottoman Empire expanded hugely. The sultan ruled over territories from Algiers to Azerbayjan, from Budapest to Baghdad and Basra, and from the Crimea to Qatif in the Persian Gulf and Mocha in Yemen. He controlled three-quarters of the Mediterranean shores. His armies even besieged Vienna. But Suleyman was more than a conqueror: it was also as patron and legislator that he stamped his name on his age. He provides a fascinating comparison with his fellow sovereigns in the west, Charles V, Francis I and Henry VIII. Yet Suleyman and his world remain much less well known than these Renaissance rulers to historians and other readers today. This book is a welcome contribution to a wider understanding of the man and his times.

In May 1940, with France on the verge of defeat, Britain alone stood in the path of the Nazi military juggernaut. Survival seemed to hinge on the leadership of Winston Churchill, whom the King reluctantly appointed Prime Minister as Germany invaded France. Churchill's reputation as one of the great twentieth-century leaders would be forged during the coming months and years, as he worked tirelessly first to rally his country and then to defeat Hitler. But Churchill - regarded as the savior of his nation, and of the entire continent - could not have done it alone.

Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn had no idea of what they would discover when they set out for Hong Kong, China, and Burma in 1941. The husband-and-wife team of celebrity literati intended to report on the China-Japan war while honeymooning in the romantic Far East. What they found was a maddening, intriguing, colorful world of dictators and drunks, scoundrels and socialites, heroes and halfwits. And their trip proved to be the beginning of the end of their marriage.When the U.S. Treasury Department hired Ernest Hemingway as a spy in China in 1941, it awakened a new obsession in America's most adventuresome author. The great literary man of action reveled in being a government operative, while his journalist wife championed the anti-Japanese resistance of Chiang Kai-shek. Hemingway on the China Front is the first book to track Hemingway's progress as a spy in Asia during the war, defining his duties as he saw fit. Author Peter Moreira follows Hemingway and Gellhorn as they seek stories to file―and try to adapt to each other's strong egos―in dangerous, uncomfortable, exotic places in the throes of war. Well-versed in Asian history and culture, Moreira also adeptly provides context of time and place. All fans of Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn will want this book.
