In these collected writings - essays, articles, letters - Michael Kelly invites us into an intimate exploration of the inner wisdom and radical challenge of Christianity. In reflections that take us from the fields of Nicaragua to the 'War on Terror', from the joy of erotic pleasure to the challenge of rebuilding the church, Kelly gives voice to a spirituality of desire, grounded in justice and love.
¿Qué es un comisario de arte? Una aproximación lúdica y divulgativa a partir de la vida y la obra de algunos de los artistas más destacados del siglo XX. Si como decía Joseph Beuys todo el mundo es artista, ¿también todo el mundo es curator? ¿Qué es un curator, un comisario de exposiciones? ¿El comisario es un autor? ¿Y qué tipo de autor es? David G. Torres, profesor y comisario, propone diversos recorridos por el arte contemporáneo desde el advenimiento de la modernidad en un libro ameno y sugerente en forma de collage de historias e itinerarios. Y desvela que tal vez todos han sido comisarios. En sus páginas van asomando Baudelaire el paseante de la ciudad, Marcel Duchamp frente a Picasso, Joseph Beuys desnudo en una playa africana, Michel Foucault consumiendo LSD en el Death Valley, Guy Debord el visionario alcoholizado, un Pollock enfadadísimo y Niki de Saint Phalle disparando alegremente a sus pinturas, el rostro siniestro de Carl Andre frente a Ana Mendieta, Carolee Schneemann, Marjorie Strider, Tracey Emin, Chiara Fumai y un Francis Bacon que dijo aquello de que pintar es una forma de comunicarse y una forma de hacer amigos a través del tiempo y el espacio.

Table of contents
In Force of Words, Haraldur Hreinsson examines the social and political significance of the Christian religion as the Roman Church was taking hold in medieval Iceland in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries. By way of diverse sources, primarily hagiography and sermons but also material sources, the author shows how Christian religious ideas came into play in the often tumultuous political landscape of the time. The study illuminates how the Church, which was gathering strength across entire Europe, established itself through the dissemination of religious vernacular discourse at the northernmost borders of its dominion.

A treatise on musical eloquence in all its branches, first published in 1990.
Essence of Ambrosia is a guide to Buddhist meditation, composed by the prolific and eclectic Tibetan scholar and practitioner Taranatha (1575-1634). Following the lead of Atisha, Taranatha expounds a graduated approach (known as lam rim) to cognitive and meditative development designed to address the needs of three types of person: the person of lesser, average and greater capacity. Taranatha's innovative contribution to this genre is to instruct the student in "contemplation sessions", that specifically guide a beginning Buddhist practitioner through the traditional practices of meditation, beginning with devotional reflection up to the apex of Buddhist meditation, insight (vipassana) meditation. The result is a remarkably accessible and concise insider's guide to the Mahayana Buddhist path.

Biographical and critical notices, with translations of various poems.
First published in 1572, The Lusiads is one of the greatest epic poems of the Renaissance, immortalizing Portugal's voyages of discovery with an unrivalled freshness of observation. At the centre of The Lusiads is Vasco da Gama's pioneer voyage via southern Africa to India in 1497-98. The first European artist to cross the equator, Camoes's narrative reflects the novelty and fascination of that original encounter with Africa, India and the Far East. The poem's twin symbols are the Cross and the Astrolabe, and its celebration of a turning point in mankind's knowledge of the world unites the old map of the heavens with the newly discovered terrain on earth. Yet it speaks powerfully, too, of the precariousness of power, and of the rise and decline of nationhood, threatened not only from without by enemies, but from within by loss of integrity and vision. The first translation of The Lusiads for almost half a century, this new edition is complemented by an illuminating introduction and extensive notes. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment ...
