The Saga of Gisli the Outlaw
Author: George Johnston
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 9780802062192
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
The Saga of Gisli was written early in the thirteenth century. It offers an imaginative reconstruction of the story of a man and his family who came to Iceland from Norway about AD 960. Soon after 960 Gisli, the central figure, was outlawed for killing his brother-in-law, and then, for thirteen years or more, he lived in hiding in remote parts of the northwest of Iceland until he was finally caught and killed by his enemies. Around this imaginative core the author has spun a web of conflicting passions - love, hare and jealousy between man and wife, brother and sister, brother-in-law - intricate emotional bonds which are here seen ironically patterned against a background of inevitable fate. Gisli, the hero, is portrayed not only as a man of strength and courage, but also a poet and dreamer, tormented in his outlawry by nightmarish visions which seem gradualy to sap his will to resist. The author's probing into the emotional depths of his characters, the superbly effective architecture of his narrative leading to the central climax, his sense of the dramatic, and his cool, compelling style all combine to make this one of the most memorable of all the Icelandic sagas.

Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 9780691043425
Category : Drama
Languages : en

Goethe's early plays bear witness to his urgent desire to enliven German theater--an ambition that followed him to the National Theater in Weimar, where he was named director in the early 1790s. This volume contains eight of these plays, written between 1771 and 1787. Not only do they demonstrate Goethe's unprecedented versatility in experimenting with new forms of dramatic expression, but they also give insight into his development from Sturm und Drang to classicism.

The Carpenter's Path
Author: Clifford Hall
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
My hope when I first began putting this project together was to show people the path I took to find the key to living a simple and harmonious life. I believe that most of us spend our entire existence putting too much value into vain things like object possessions and who we are in connection to the world we live in, failing to realize that all this comes directly from our ego, which is part of our mind's negative operation process that holds us hostage. This part of the mind is, without a doubt, behind all of mankind's suffering and affliction. It is the part of our subconscious mind that wants to make our attachment to all that glitters more addicting so it can constantly subject us to its false reality. But what we have to remember is that during his short time on earth, Jesus taught about how to become more connected to our true spiritual self. And he did so by telling us to let go and let God be our source of wisdom and understanding. That is why I chose the title of this book The Carpenter's Path. Learning the secret to taking on this part of our nature is our only salvation for the future. So I am inviting you to join me on this journey of mine--a pilgrimage of seeking the truth to who you really are.
