Book excerpt: Paul Vrolijk recalls the last two months of his father’s life and the two months that followed his funeral in Farewell to my father. His experience included the emptying and selling of a family home that had been in the family for half a century. The book serves as a touching account of familial love, memories from youth, doubt and faith, God’s love and faithfulness working in and through all things, and the love and care of a village community. Moreover, it’s a celebration of gratitude. The author’s story encourages readers to think about what it means to die well, as well as what needs to be said and done when someone comes to the end of their life. It also serves as a helpful guide on what to expect if you’re preparing for the death of a loved one. The book serves as a bold proclamation that “nothing can separate us from the love of God.” In fact, God is always working even amid suffering, dying, and all the practical details that must be considered when someone dies

Book Synopsis Farewell Song by : Rabindranath Tagore

Download or read book Farewell Song written by Rabindranath Tagore. This book was released on 2011-05-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rabindranath Tagore reinvented the Bengali novel with Farewell Song; blurring the lines between prose and poetry and creating an effervescent blend of romance and satire. Through Amit and Labanya and a brilliantly etched social milieu; the novel addresses contemporary debates about ‘good’ and ‘bad’ writing; the nature of love and conjugality; and the influence of Western culture on Bengali society. Set against the idyllic backdrop of Shillong and the mannered world of elite Calcutta society; this sparkling novel expresses the complex vision and the mastery of style that characterized Tagore’s later works.

Book Synopsis Farewell to Visual Studies by : James Elkins

Download or read book Farewell to Visual Studies written by James Elkins. This book was released on 2015-10-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of the five volumes in the Stone Art Theory Institutes series brings together a range of scholars who are not always directly familiar with one another’s work. The outcome of each of these convergences is an extensive and “unpredictable conversation” on knotty and provocative issues about art. This fifth and final volume in the series focuses on the identity, nature, and future of visual studies, discussing critical questions about its history, objects, and methods. The contributors question the canon of literature of visual studies and the place of visual studies with relation to theories of vision, visuality, epistemology, politics, and art history, giving voice to a variety of inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives. Rather than dismissing visual studies, as its provocative title might suggest, this volume aims to engage a critical discussion of the state of visual studies today, how it might move forward, and what it might leave behind to evolve in productive ways. The contributors are Emmanuel Alloa, Nell Andrew, Linda Báez Rubí, Martin A. Berger, Hans Dam Christensen, Isabelle Decobecq, Bernhard J. Dotzler, Johanna Drucker, James Elkins, Michele Emmer, Yolaine Escande, Gustav Frank, Theodore Gracyk, Asbjørn Grønstad, Stephan Günzel, Charles W. Haxthausen, Miguel Á. Hernández-Navarro, Tom Holert, Kıvanç Kılınç, Charlotte Klonk, Tirza True Latimer, Mark Linder, Sunil Manghani, Anna Notaro, Julia Orell, Mark Reinhardt, Vanessa R. Schwartz, Bernd Stiegler, Øyvind Vågnes, Sjoukje van der Meulen, Terri Weissman, Lisa Zaher, and Marta Zarzycka.
