Описание: Early Byzantine Pilgrimage Art explores the portable artifacts of eastern Mediterranean pilgrimage from the fifth to the seventh century, presenting them in the context of contemporary pilgrims' texts and the archaeology of sacred sites. The book shows how the iconography and devotional piety of Byzantine pilgrimage art changed, and it surveys the material and social culture of pilgrimage. What did these early religious travelers take home with them and what did they leave behind? Where were these "sacred souvenirs" manufactured and what was their purpose? How did the images imprinted upon many of them help realize that purpose? The first edition of this pathbreaking book, published in 1982, established late antique pilgrimage and its artifacts as an important topic of study. In this revised, enlarged version, Gary Vikan significantly expands the narrative by situating the miraculous world of the early Byzantine pilgrim within the context of late antique magic and pre-Christian healing shrines, and by considering the trajectory of pilgrimage after the Arab conquest of the seventh century.

Описание: A scholar, a goblin, and a gnome, among others, pursue the secrets of a vanished ancient race through a wasteland of dark magic in this enthralling fantasy quest adventure
On an Earth that is different from ours, the young scholar Mark Cornwall becomes a target of the Inquisition, and specifically its most evil and obsessed agent, Beckett. Damned for asking questions, Mark is forced to escape over the border into the Wastelands, a magical realm that is home to all manner of flesh-devouring monsters. Luckily he will not have to make his journey alone. He is accompanied by a cadre of stalwart companions, including the rafter goblin Oliver, Snively the gnome, and secretive Mary from one of three parallel planes. Somewhere beyond the vengeful, blood-hungry Hellhounds, somewhere past the horrific legacy of the now-destroyed Chaos Beast, the mysteries of the Old Ones are waiting to be revealed--and only those with the courage to seek them will be able to alter the destiny of their worlds.
In Enchanted Pilgrimage, Clifford D. Simak ingeniously blends elements of science fiction into a savory fantasy stew. The award-winning Grand Master of science fiction spreads his wings and takes glorious flight into a bold new realm of magic and adventure, demonstrating why he remains one of the most acclaimed storytellers in the literature of the remarkable.

Автор: Bishop Rand Название: Trek: My Peace Pilgrimage in Search of a Kinder America ISBN: 1733029907 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781733029902 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 16090.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: In 2012, after four decades toiling in the music-business capitals of LA, and Nashville, Rand Bishop returned to his home state of Oregon to be assist his aging parents. Divorced, children grown, Rand was content to keep a low profile, not flaunting his impressive career resume -- Grammy nominee, more than 300 songwriting credits, platinum music producer, hit song publisher, author of four books, award-winning screenwriter, playwright, and magazine columnist. Life for Rand was relatively stress free. Except for one thing... he was finding it more and more difficult to sleep. The growing hyper-partisan animosity had not only created alarming dissonance, our nation found itself in legislative gridlock. Although serious, urgent issues pervaded, nothing was getting done. Rand was already fretting about what kind of world he would leave behind for his grandchildren. Then, the 2016 presidential election came along and America really started turning mean. No longer able to sit by while the U.S.A. transformed into something he no longer recognized, Rand, a lifelong activist for peace, justice, and equality, felt compelled to do something. Finding a role model in a woman known as Peace Pilgrim, Rand's decided course of action was a source of great concern for friends and family. Still, at 67, with sore knees, arthritic feet, limited camping experience, and no knowledge about long-distance hiking, Rand remained undeterred. He began planning and preparing to walk for 90 consecutive days, from Southern California, back home to the Central Oregon Coast, hoping to encourage folks along the way to come out of their echo chambers, abandon the blame game, and engage in more civil, constructive dialogue. On May 1, 2017, Rand returned a rented car in Thousand Oaks, CA, hooked his dog's leash to his belly bag, and began what was destined to become an adventure of a lifetime. Pushing a 90-pound cart christened the Pilgrimmobile, Rand climbed seemingly insurmountable grades, crossed precarious bridges, was confronted by wild animals, angry motorists, and alienation from the persistent assumption that a cart-pushing pedestrian must be homeless. The author's aging body, his fortitude, and his courage were put to their ultimate test. Those factors alone provide this tale with plenty of adventure and drama. But, the true heart of the story beats evocatively in its eclectic cast of characters, the fellow humans serendipity introduced to the pilgrim along the way. Rand describes meeting immigrants, homeless folks, cyclists, fellow hikers, shop keepers, camp hosts, farmers, and anonymous Good Samaritans. People of every age, gender, race, ethnicity, religious faith, political affiliation, vocation, and socio-economic status populate TREK's pages. Although the pilgrim comes face to face with a random bigot or two, gets taunted, threatened, and even spat upon, negative encounters were rare. The vast majority of the people Rand recalls are kind, compassionate, and giving -- even if quite a few of them teeter precariously close to the edge of sanity. Ultimately, the author survives his trek, and the emotional crash of its sore-footed aftermath to sum up his experience this way... "Connecting with 1,000 decent Americans rekindled my faith, not in the power and glory of some invisible God, but in the innate goodness of humankind. The nice, kind, sometimes exceedingly generous people I met along my path replenished the hope I'd lost and so desperately needed to find and feel again. And, without that hope, I don't know if I would still be capable of rising and shining every morning."

At the outset of the Second World War on September 1, 1939, young Aussie diggers are rushed to assist Britain in its hour of need to the nearest European war zone in the Middle East and North Africa. My Uncle Arthur, young Arty is one of these a sapper with 6 years militia training as an army engineer. The ANZAC forces sweep through Libya, from Egypt to Benghazi, defeating superior numbers of heavily armed Italians the first Allied land victory of the war.
Ill-equipped and lacking promised supplies, the ANZACs are then inappropriately redirected from North Africa to Greece to help the Greeks face the overwhelming German advance. Retreating to Crete, Arty is captured in the Battle of Crete and becomes a POW. I am motivated to visit the conflict zones of Gallipoli and to follow my uncles wartime exploits from the time of his capture in June 1941 until his third and final escape from a German work camp in Czechoslovakia in 1945.
Modern day travel makes it possible to visit not only the more recent wartime scenes of Central Europe, but also to visit the sites of classical civilizations to discover the history, art and cultures of the Mediterranean. Accompanying me on my journey is Avril who was born in England and has vivid wartime memories of the conflict from her childhood.
