Flawed Love

by Bella Jewel, Flawed Love Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Flawed Love book, Rainer Torrence is everything I could have wanted in my life and more. He became my best friend when I was Thirteen years old. From then on, we were inseparable. He was my first love and my first heartbreak. But I always thought it was forever. Until his Father died and things went bad. Then suddenly, he disappeared. Ten years and I didn't see or hear from him. Then came the call I'd be praying for- he was back in town. Only the man I remembered is not him. This man is quiet, deadly, and so incredibly beautiful. He also doesn't remember me. He looks into my eyes, and he sees nothing. Nothing. So, I let him believe I'm just a girl that walked into his bar. I let him believe I'm just a friend. I let him use me on the cold, dark nights. I let him believe that I am as emotionless about our relationship as he is. I just let the secret go on and on. But all secrets have an end, don't they?

Shakespeare And The Nature Of Love

by Marcus Nordlund, Shakespeare And The Nature Of Love Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Shakespeare And The Nature Of Love book, The best conception of love, Marcus Nordlund contends, and hence the best framework for its literary analysis, must be a fusion of evolutionary, cultural, and historical explanation. It is within just such a bio-cultural nexus that Nordlund explores Shakespeare’s treatment of different forms of love. His approach leads to a valuable new perspective on Shakespearean love and, more broadly, on the interaction between our common humanity and our historical contingency as they are reflected, recast, transformed, or even suppressed in literary works. After addressing critical issues about love, biology, and culture raised by his method, Nordlund considers four specific forms of love in seven of Shakespeare’s plays. Examining the vicissitudes of parental love in Titus Andronicus and Coriolanus, he argues that Shakespeare makes a sustained inquiry into the impact of culture and society upon the natural human affections. King Lear offers insight into the conflicted relationship between love and duty. In two problem plays about romantic love, Troilus and Cressida and All’s Well that Ends Well, the tension between individual idiosyncrasies and social consensus becomes especially salient. And finally, in Othello and The Winter’s Tale, Nordlund asks what Shakespeare can tell us about the dark avatar of jealousy.

Our Divine Savior

by George Pfautsch, Our Divine Savior Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Our Divine Savior book, It is the belief of most Christians of the world that Jesus Christ was true god and true man. It is difficult for us as humans to understand that belief and, therefore, helpful to attribute everything in the human nature of Jesus Christ to his divine person. That includes not only his miracles but also his sufferings and even his death. The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a greater appreciation of why the attribution of Christ’s human nature to his divine nature is an important aspect of the Christian faith.

But as God, ghosts, fate and the sheer power of true love pull Nicholas and Isabel together, so too does life threaten to tear them apart. . . Magical, lyrical and deeply romantic, Niall Williams' Four Letters of Love moved readers the world over and became an international bestseller. It is a life-affirming paean to human folly, to fate, and to the miracle of love.

Flawed Foundings

by George Tomezsko, Flawed Foundings Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Flawed Foundings book, Flawed Foundings should interest students of government who are curious to learn how healthy republics can be set up and maintained. It should also appeal to conservatives concerned about the decline of manners and morals, and the growth of government, here in the United States. The book offers a unique prescription on how to tackle these problems. Lastly, and most importantly, the work is intended to be wider than that, and posits a possible solution to the political problems of modern man in general. As such, it serves as a nice introduction into the study of political philosophy.
