Book excerpt: Masterful storytelling from Catholic fiction author Brian Kennelly,Two Statues is the story of belief in what is unbelievable! Buck Washington moved to the quiet shores of Edisto Island, South Carolina to retire and live out his life in peace. Instead he found a mysterious violin-playing neighbor named Walt...and an adventure he would never forget. A thousand miles away in Worcester, Massachusetts, Father Peter Moore is suffering a crisis of faith. But before he can leave his vocation and the Church he has served since youth, Peter is given a final mission: To investigate whether a strangely-acting statue of the Virgin Mary is a fraud, a freak of nature - or a finger pointing to the providence of God. In Two Statues first-time novelist Brian Kennelly has penned a tale of family, life and adventure that will absorb you as you rush through its pages, and stay with you long after the last one is turned.

Book Synopsis Statues by : Michel Serres

Download or read book Statues written by Michel Serres. This book was released on 2014-12-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first English translation of one of his most important works, Michel Serres presents the statue as more than a static entity: for Serres it is the basis for knowledge, society, the subject and object, the world and experience. Serres demonstrates how sacrificial art founded and still persists in society and reflects on the centrality of death and the statufied dead body to the human condition. Each section covers a different time period and statuary topic, ranging from four thousand years ago to 1986; from Baal, the paintings of Carpaccio, and the Eiffel Tower, to Rodin's The Gates of Hell, the Challenger disaster and the literature of Maupassant, La Fontaine and Jules Verne. Expository, lyrical, fictionalized and hallucinatory, Statues plays with time and place, history and story in order to provoke us into thinking in entirely new ways. Through mythic and poetic meditations on various kinds of descent into the underworld and new insights into the relation of the subject and object and their foundation in death, Statues contains great treasures and provocations for philosophers, literary critics, art historians and sociologists.
