Book Description
Apartheid posed profound challenges to the conceptions of humanity and development that dominated the world stage after World War II. Embroiled analyzes the manner in which international religious organizations dealt with the formulation and implementation of apartheid. The book studies this through an examination of the Swiss Mission in South Africa (SMSA), an institution that acted in South Africa, Switzerland, and the international ecumenical community. As a socially embedded institution, the SMSA mirrored divisions present within Swiss and South African societies on the issue of apartheid. *** Embroiled brings out the complex, even turbulent, nature of a missionary society: at once political intermediary, spiritual guide and non-government organisation. Caught between different communities and discrete continents, missionaries discussed and debated their role in South Africa and attempted, however fitfully, to respond to the changes that swept through the country, particularly as opposing nationalisms fought to seize hold of it. ~ From the Preface (Series: Schweizerische Afrikastudien - Etudes africaines suisses - Vol. 9)

Love Letters To A Man
Author: Barbara Jackson
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1493109618
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Love Letters to a Man, is an exploration through falling in love, the depression and resolution of the end of a relationship and starting over in love and life. It is written in spoken word prose because through this journey sometimes getting the emotion out doesn’t always mean simply talking about the problem or being rational. Writing is a release and poetry is simply the method used to say what is in the head and heart. This is not a self-help book but is intended to lend insight to others that they are not alone in their efforts to get through the ups and downs of life and relationships. Love Letters to a Man does speak from the heart felt experiences and trial and error of working through the aftermath of break ups, and starting over in new relationships and the self-examination that should go on in between. It also uses the imagery of experiences from childhood that lend insight into the hard taught lessons about the authors own self-image.

The Black Book
Author: Orhan Pamuk
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 146688763X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 566
Book Description
From the Nobel Prize–winning author: An Istanbul lawyer’s search for his missing wife leads him into a labyrinthine mystery of truth, fiction and identity. Galip is an Istanbul lawyer, and his wife, Ruya, has vanished. Could she be hiding out with her half-brother, Jelal, a newspaper columnist whose fame Galip envies? And if so, why isn’t anyone in Jelal’s flat? As Galip plays the part of private investigator, he assumes the identity of Jelal himself, wearing his clothes, answering his phone calls, even faking his wry columns, which he passes off as the work of the missing journalist. But the amateur sleuth bungles his undercover operation, and with dire consequences. Richly atmospheric and Rabelaisian in scope, The Black Book is “a glorious flight of dark, fantastic invention” suffused with the sights, sounds, and scents of Istanbul (The Washington Post).
