Laura Holland and Mildred Forbes, an inseparable duo, set off from Montreal in June 1915 to serve as nursing sisters in the Great War. Over the next four years, the two cared for each other through sickness and health, air raids and bombings, unrelenting work, and adventurous leaves. This thoughtfully curated collection of their letters home paints a vivid account of nursing through the battles of Gallipoli, Passchendaele, and beyond. Mildred and Laura were remarkably forthright, revealing how they relied on friendship, humour, and professional ethics to carry on in the face of mismanagement, discrimination, deprivation, and trauma.

Автор: Dennis Wuerthner Название: Tales of the Strange by a Korean Confucian Monk: Kumo sinhwa by Kim Sisup ISBN: 0824882598 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780824882594 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 56850.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: One of the most important and celebrated works of premodern Korean prose fiction, K?mo sinhwa (New Tales of the Golden Turtle) is a collection of five tales of the strange artfully written in literary Chinese by Kim Sis?p (1435-1493). Kim was a major intellectual and poet of the early Chos?n dynasty (1392-1897), and this book is widely recognized as marking the beginning of classical fiction in Korea.The present volume features an extensive study of Kim and the K?mo sinhwa, followed by a copiously annotated, complete English translation of the tales from the oldest extant edition. The translation captures the vivaciousness of the original, while the annotations reveal the work's complexity, unraveling the deep and diverse intertextual connections between the K?mo sinhwa and preceding works of Chinese and Korean literature and philosophy. The K?mo sinhwa can thus be read and appreciated as a hybrid work that is both distinctly Korean and Sino-centric East Asian. A translator's introduction discusses this hybridity in detail, as well as the unusual life and tumultuous times of Kim Sis?p; the K?mo sinhwa's creation and its translation and transformation in early modern Japan and twentieth-century (especially North) Korea and beyond; and its characteristics as a work of dissent.Tales of the Strange by a Korean Confucian Monk will be welcomed by Korean and East Asian studies scholars and students, yet the body of the work-stories of strange affairs, fantastic realms, seductive ghosts, and majestic but eerie beings from the netherworld-will be enjoyed by academics and non-specialist readers alike.

World-famous fairy tales like Peter Pan, Snow White, and The Three Little Pigs have captured the hearts of generations as they share resonating stories about our desire for acceptance, love, happiness, justice, and security.
By spinning epic narratives that grip the imagination and relay important morals along the way, these fairy tales also serve as bridges that relate to the most significant story of all: the gospel.
David Swayne's Treasure in the Tales: Finding the Gospel in Fairy Tales serves as an ideal primer for Christian parents that helps guide children through what Jesus taught us. Each of the twelve fairy tales featured summarizes the story's plot and expands upon it, using the tale as a template upon which to build a better understanding of the Bible.
By applying the guidance conveyed in this book, you can give your children a compass to navigate the lessons found in fairy tales, directing them to the power of the gospel, where their personal character can be transformed for their benefit and for God's glory.
