El poeta es un fingidor (9788437638942)

Además de un gran poeta, Pessoa fue también un extraordinario prosista y, sobre todo, un pensador, agudo, profundo y original. Los biógrafos y demás estudiosos de Pessoa no suelen olvidar su declaración de que, desde su infancia, gustaba el poeta de rodearse de personajes ficticios de su invención, en los que él mismo veía el origen remoto de los heterónimos. Esta edición ofrece, en versión bilingüe, una amplia selección de sus tres principales heterónimos: Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis y Álvaro de Campos, así como de Pessoa "êle mesmo".

Sartre: Literature and Theory (9780521338783)

In this major study Rhiannon Goldthorpe takes up the challenge of Sartre's diversity in an original and provocative way. Her detailed and comprehensive exploration of the relationship between the theoretical and literary works pays due attention to their characteristic complexity. The discussion of La Nausee, Les Mouches, Huis clos, Les Mains sales and Les Sequestres e'Altona, for example, does not present these literary texts as mere 'illustrations' of Sartre's theories of consciousness, imagination and emotion, but as subtle philosophical and linguistic investigations in their own right. In addition, by reference to recently published fragments from Sartre's earlier work, Goldthorpe calls into question existing views of Sartre's intellectual development and provides a new history of the crucial Sartrean concept of 'commitment'.

Israel and the Great Commission : How the Great Commission Fulfills God's Purpose for Israel and the Nations (9781732338029)

We live in a unique generation. For the first time in history, the church is facing two unprecedented challenges: Reaching every people group with the gospel; and Addressing a global controversy over Israel and its future. Most Christians read the Old Testament as a story about Israel and the New Testament as a radical shift from Israel's story to the story of the nations. However, Israel and the nations are deeply connected in both the Old and New Testament. The Great Commission is not a dramatic shift in God's plan, nor is it a new idea. It is the means of fulfilling God's promises to Israel and the nations. The New Testament is neither the beginning of God's purposes for the nations nor the end of Israel's story. In Israel and the Great Commission, discover: How the Old Testament lays the foundation for the Great Commission How Israel and the Great Commission are deeply connected How Israel's story continues in the New Testament How Paul understood God's

Download The Book of Smokeless Fire (9780998708102)

The Book of Smokeless Fire By S. Ben Qayin "The work that is being presented in "The Book of Smokeless Fire" is based on a very little known and overlooked Solomonic text simply known as "Miscelaneo de Salomon," which amazingly mirrors that of Lovecraft's, "Necronomicon" both in content and history. It is an ancient and forbidden Arabian manuscript, that seems was later evolved into the Greek "Goetia" and gives the earliest known account of King Solomon and his binding of the seventy-two sinister Djinn he sealed away in the infamous brass container. In "The Book of Smokeless Fire," the ancient manuscript has now been reworked into a completely new system, utilizing revolutionary evocation technology, to again call upon the ancient and destructive Djinn, whose names have been concealed for centuries..." Author S. Ben Qayin has outdone himself with this stunning interpretation and cohesive reworking of a long lost magickal d
