Apparition & Late Fictions: A Novella and Stories





Heart-rending stories of life and death: a debut fiction collection by the award-winning author of The Undertaking. A Methodist minister gone astray, a grieving trout bum gone fishing with his father’s remains, an artist overwhelmed by incarnate beautyâ€"these are just a few of the iconic yet utterly unique characters in Thomas Lynch’s spirited collection. Set i n Michigan’s north woods, in Ohio’s interior, on islands, in casinos, and in distant cities, these stories are linked by the gone and not forgotten: former spouses, dead parents, and missing children. In pursuit of love and its redemptions, these are pilgrims haunted by memory, dogged by desire, made radiant by romance and its denouements.

With the elegant prose of Frederick Busch and the Irish sensibility of William Trevor, Lynch masterfully creates a world where mirage and apparition are commonplace, where people searching for connection and old comforts find them both near at hand and oddly out of reach.

Despues de descubrir el evangelio escrito por Maria Magdalena donde se revelaba que Jesus y Maria Magdalena estaban casados, Maureen Paschal recibe un extrano sobre con una carta antigua escrita en latin que es obra de una mujer olvidada por la historia: la condesa Matilda de Toscana. Cuando intenta averiguar algo mas, Maureen emprende un viaje cargado de peligros por Italia y Francia, al tiempo que se da cuenta de que esta en la pista de un nuevo y sorprendente descubrimiento: el Libro del Amor, el Evangelio escrito por la propia mano de Jesus. Al tiempo que va investigando la historia de la condesa Matilda, una extraordinaria mujer guerrera del siglo xi, que se habia casado en secreto con un Papa, Maureen empieza a encontrar extranas conexiones entre la condesa y ella misma, conexiones que debe rastrear hasta su origen si quiere impedir que el Libro del Amor caiga en las manos equivocadas y desaparezca para siempre. Combinando la verdadera y poco conocida historia de la condesa Matilda con la emocionante busqueda de Maureen, sumergida en los misterios del laberinto y en la hermosa poesia del Cantar de los Cantares, esta extraordinaria novela sigue a dos asom brosas heroinas cuyas vidas se unen a traves de los siglos. / Maureen Paschal thought she might rest and work on her book after discovering the gospel written by Mary Magdalene that revealed Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married. The truth of their story rocked the world and made Maureen a target of those who did not like her discovery and a heroine to those who did. Then Maureen receives a strange package containing what looks like an ancient letter written in Latin and signed with a symbol. She discovers that its author is an extraordinary woman whom history has overlooked -- or covered up -- Countess Matilda of Tuscany, and in the letter Matilda demands the return of her ""most precious books and documents."" Maureen soon finds herself in a race across Italy and France, where h idden dangers await her and her lover, Berenger, as they begin to realize that they are on the trail of another explosive discovery: the Book of Love, the Gospel written in Jesus' own hand.

A History of Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years





Christianity, one of the world's great religions, has had an incalculable impact on human history. This book, now the most comprehensive and up to date single volume work in English, describes not only the main ideas and personalities of Christian history, its organisation and spirituality, but how it has changed politics, sex, and human society. Diarmaid MacCulloch ranges from Palestine in the fir st century to India in the third, from Damascus to China in the seventh century and from San Francisco to Korea in the twentieth. He is one of the most widely travelled of Christian historians and conveys a sense of place as arrestingly as he does the power of ideas. He presents the development of Christian history differently from any of his predecessors. He shows how, after a semblance of unity in its earliest centuries, the Christian church divided during the next 1400 years into three increasingly distanced parts, of which the western Church was by no means always the most important: he observes that at the end of the first eight centuries of Christian history, Baghdad might have seemed a more likely capital for worldwide Christianity than Rome. This is the first truly global history of Christianity.
