Corazón inquieto

Autor: Louis De Wohl

Número de Páginas: 314

Empieza la biografía de San Agustín, futuro pensador y Padre de la Iglesia, con una pelea entre pilluelos. Desde este primer encuentro se siente uno fascinado por la personalidad del apasionado joven. Con su vigoroso e inimitable estilo, el autor nos cuenta la historia de la transformación de San Agustín, desde que era un muchacho frívolo y sensual, hasta que se convierte en un brillante escritor y profundo teólogo, obispo de Hipona. El hombre que se conquistó a sí mismo, cuyas obras maestras de literatura y de filosofía presidieron el pensamiento occidental a lo largo de un millar de años. Además, con la maestría y amenidad a la que nos tiene acostumbrados, el autor del libro publicado por Ediciones Palabra Editorial recrea el marco excitante de la época: el clima turbulento del Imperio Romano en los últimos días de su decadencia. Con vigorosa mano pinta las personalidades cuyas vidas influyeron más íntimamente en Agustín: Mónica, su heroica y santa madre; el solemne Ambrosio, obispo de Milán; Alipio, su incondicional amigo; la delicada Melania, madre de su hijo.

The Spear

Autor: Louis De Wohl

Número de Páginas: 412

This panoramic novel of the last days of Christ ranges from the palaces of imperial Rome to the strife-torn hills of Judea-where the conflict of love and betrayal, revenge and redemption, reaches a mighty climax in the drama of the Crucifixion. For this is the full story of the world's most dramatic execution, as it affected one of its least-known participants-the man who hurled his spear into Christ on the Cross. Among his many successful historical novels, Louis de Wohl considered The Spear the magnum opus of his literary career.

Jews of Tampa

Autor: Dr. Rob Norman And Marcia Jo Zerivitz

Número de Páginas: 130

Spanish explorers arrived in Tampa Bay in the 16th century. Jews were first allowed to live in Florida in 1763 and less than 100 years later, Tampa became a city. The arrival of the railroad and the cigar industry in the 1890s attracted immigrants. Many were Jews, who helped propel growth, especially in Ybor City, where they owned more than 80 businesses. Over the decades, Jews participated in civic and Jewish organizations, the military, politics, and in developing Tampa as a sports center. Today, with about 23,000 Jews in Tampa, there are fifth-generation residents who represent the continuity of a people who contribute vibrancy to every area of the community.

Saint Joan

Autor: Louis De Wohl

Número de Páginas: 192

This book combines a world-famous Catholic novelist, Louis de Wohl, with one of the most thrilling and dramatic saints' lives in history, St. Joan of Arc. De Wohl uses his famed narrative skill to tell young people about the brave teenage French girl who had visions and led armies in battle, but also about how her entire life testifies to the amazing power of God's grace. It's all here: how Joan, a humble maiden in an insignificant town, was told by St. Michael the Archangel, St. Catherine, and St. Margaret to lead the French in battle against the English; how she finally succeeded in convincing the French of the truth of her mission; how she met with fantastic success but was betrayed, captured, and imprisoned; and finally, how she suffered through a politically motivated trial for heresy and was burned at the stake. De Wohl is interested not solely in the external details of Joan's life, but in Joan's all-encompassing love for God, which informed all her courageous actions from beginning to end. You'll not only thrill to Joan's heroism; your heart will delight in her example of loving surrender to God's will. Every detail of her life will ring out to you as a joyful witness to...

The Glorious Folly

Autor: Louis De Wohl

Número de Páginas: 453

In this historical novel first published in 1957, beloved author Louis de Wohl draws readers into the life and times of St. Paul, painting an unforgettable portrait of both the man himself and the first-century world to which he preached the gospel. Through Paul’s eyes and those of his friends, we follow the great apostle from his role in persecuting Christians, through his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, to his eventual journey to Rome, the center of imperial power. Along the way, we encounter the sights, sounds, and characters of ancient Rome and Judea; witness the quiet spread of the new Christian faith; and are taken behind the scenes into the halls of power, where we meet Herod, Agrippa, Nero, and others. The result is a vivid picture of a world not so different from our own, a world caught up in materialism, power politics, and paganism, yet yearning for the light of Christ. Readers will come away from this book with a new understanding of New Testament times—and a new appreciation for the singular personality that was Paul of Tarsus. A page-turner and an inspiration to today’s Christians, it is sure to capture the attention of readers both young and old.

The Quiet Light

Autor: Louis De Wohl

Número de Páginas: 552

The famous novelist Louis de Wohl presents a stimulating historical novel about the great St. Thomas Aquinas, set against the violent background of the Italy of the Crusades. He tells the intriguing story of St. Thomas who—by taking a vow of poverty and joining the Dominicans—defied his illustrious, prominent family's ambition for him to have great power in the Church. The battles and Crusades of the 13th century and the ruthlessness of the excommunicated Emperor Frederick II play a big part in the story, but it is Thomas of Aquino who dominates this book. De Wohl succeeds notably in portraying the exceptional quality of this man, a fusion of mighty intellect and childlike simplicity. A pupil of St. Albert the Great, the humble Thomas—through an intense life of study, writing, prayer, preaching and contemplation—ironically rose to become the influential figure of his age, and he later was proclaimed by the Church as the Angelic Doctor. As in all of his novels about great saints of the church, Louis de Wohl weaves an intricate colorful tapestry of love, violence and piety to bring to life a tremendous historical figure and the fascinating period in which he lived.

El mendigo alegre

Autor: Louis De Wohl

Número de Páginas: 384

Louis de Wohl nos ofrece uno de los santos más populares, admirados y queridos de todos los tiempos. El escenario de la acción nos traslada desde Asís a Roma, a Sicilia, a las arenas de Egipto. Asís y Perugia están en guerra. Entre los oficiales de las tropas de Asís hay un joven desenfadado y alegre llamado Francisco Bernardone. La ciudad de Asís pierde la guerra, pero en realidad, en medio de la batalla, tiene lugar una gran victoria para el mundo: otro oficial joven, Roger, Conde de Vandria, salva la vida de Francisco. Desde la movida juventud de Francisco hasta la magnífica escena de su muerte, todo este relato está llevado con el contrapunto de la historia de Roger de Vandria, escéptico y materialista, que se percata casi demasiado tarde de que todas sus hazañas, a lo largo de una lealtad de años hacia su rey y señor, no significan prácticamente nada comparadas con el gesto heroico que evitó la muerte a su amigo Francisco. Es una historia que hierve de acción y de caracteres finamente dibujados: santa Clara, de belleza delicada; el rey de Sicilia y Emperador del Sacro Imperio, Federico; el sultán Al-Kamil; el papa Inocencio III... El escenario de la acción...

Citadel of God

Autor: Louis De Wohl

Número de Páginas: 547

The streets of Rome are crowded as Theoderich, the "barbarian" Gothic king, makes his triumphal entry into the conquered city. Suddenly a boy rushes into the street and attempts to stab the king with his stylus. Kicked aside by the king's guard, he is rescued and carried to safety by a young man. The boy is Peter, adopted son of the noble Roman philosopher, Boethius. His rescuer is Benedictus, a student, who becomes Peter's tutor, and tries to curb the boy's reckless determination to succeed at all costs. So begins this vivid story which follows Benedictus through a disillusioning experience with a beautiful woman of Rome, his years as a hermit and his work in establishing religious communities that were truly citadels of God in the decadence of sixth-century Rome. Peter, meanwhile, has dedicated himself to overthrowing the Goths—partly to further his own ambition and partly to win the beautiful Rusticiana, who has promised to marry him if he succeeds. Sweeping from Rome to Ravenna, Byzantium and Monte Cassino, the story reaches its climax in a dramatic fulfillment of Benedictus's long-ago promise to Peter: "We shall meet again when you need me." Here, as in all his novels about ...
