Автор: Lethbridge David Название: Norman Bethune in Spain ISBN: 1845195485 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781845195489 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 42900.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Born to fanatical religious zealots, deeply wounded by an unloving mother and a weak father whom he hated, Norman Bethune struggled throughout his life to overcome deep emotional scars. Sexually inhibited, given to outbursts of near psychopathic rage, this wounded doctor healed himself through healing others. ... In the mid-1930s, Bethune emerged as a renowned surgeon fighting the twin plagues of disease and fascism. When Franco launched his offensive, Bethune traveled quickly to Madrid, organized a mobile transfusion service and, often under fire, brought blood to the wounded at the front. ... David Lethbridge presents the complex of Bethune's unique activities and personality as they intersected with history: His engagement with medical, political, and military civil war players, and the Communist party; his cadaver blood transfusion work with the Nobel Prize-winning geneticist, Hermann Muller; the profound effect that the Malaga atrocity had on him, and the role it played in his attempt to build "children's cities" outside war zones; his meeting with Graham Spry - a high-ranking functionary in the Canadian social democratic party, the CCF; the unraveling of Bethune's romantic relationship with the Swedish journalist Kasja Rothman; the implications of his friendship with Henning Sorensen, a possibly secret member of the Communist Party of Canada, and the circumstances of the conspiracy that led to Bethune's ejection from Spain. ... The book concludes with Bethune's political tour throughout North America raising funds and public awareness on behalf of the Spanish Republic.
Автор: Stewart Roderick, Majada Jesus Название: Bethune in Spain ISBN: 077354383X ISBN-13(EAN): 9780773543836 Издательство: Marston Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 36950.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Norman Bethune (1890-1939) was a man who had everything, and yet had nothing. Although he had achieved international prominence as a surgeon, he was unhappy in his personal life and deeply frustrated by a failed attempt to introduce medicare to Canada. An uncompromising humanitarian in search of a cause, Bethune became immersed in the Spanish Civil War. In Bethune in Spain, Roderick Stewart and Jesus Majada recount Bethune`s achievements in Spain and the events that led to his decision to assist the Loyalist forces. The narrative contains Bethune`s letters and reports, some of them reproduced here for the first time, as well as newspaper articles, and interviews with him. It covers his creation and operation of a mobile blood transfusion unit, his rescue of fleeing Loyalist civilians during the Malaga-Almeria road tragedy, and his efforts to aid children orphaned by the War. It also deals with the gruelling public-speaking tour Bethune undertook on his return to Canada in 1937 to plead for intervention in support of democracy in Spain and to raise awareness of atrocities committed against civilians by the fascist-backed Spanish Nationalists. Illustrated with photographs from Bethune`s seven months in Spain, Bethune in Spain is a poignant portrait of an early advocate for universal health care, an unwavering communist, and a crusader for the Spanish Republican cause.

In this collection of poems, The Road, So Long, written over a thirty year period, Paul Bethune chronicles his quest for love, fulfillment, and meaning. As the title suggests, the road is marked with many detours, pitfalls, and challenges along the way to be overcome. For the poet, these come in day-to-day experiences of joys, sorrows, exaltations, and tribulations recounted in poems that are at times reflective, direct, passionate, and searingly honest. Time brings wisdom and a growing awareness of what he wants out of life. With the realization his quest is to the heart, fate smiles on him, his longing fulfilled. Ultimately the journey and the poems serve as a poignant reminder that life may take us in many directions but love is the way home.
