The Spirit of Freedom

Sinopsis del Libro

This collection of interviews explores the role of religion in the lives of eminent South Africans who led the struggle against apartheid. Nelson Mandela, Chris Hani, Desmond Tutu, Nadine Gordimer, and seventeen other political, religious, and cultural leaders share the beliefs and values that informed the moral positions they adopted, often at great cost. From all ethnic, religious, and political backgrounds, these men and women have shaped one of the greatest political transformations of the century. What emerges from the interviews are reflections on all aspects of life in an embattled country. There are stories of the homelands and townships, and tales of imprisonment and exile. Dedicated communists relate their intense youthful devotion to Christianity; Muslim activists discuss the complexity of their relationships with their communities. As the respondents grapple with difficult questions about faith, politics, and authority, they expose a more personal picture: of their daily lives, of their pasts, and of the enormous conflicts that arise in a society that continually strains the moral fiber of its citizens. Taken together, these interviews reveal the many-faceted vision that has fueled South Africa's struggle for democracy.

La Atlántida Testigos Presenciales

ANTIGUOS DOCUMENTOS, RESTOS Y UTENSILIOS PROVENIENTES DE LA ATLÁNTIDA PRUEBAN SU EXISTENCIA. ¿MITO O REALIDAD? Muchos creían que la Atlántida fue una novela de ficción creada por Platón. Puesél no fue el primero en escribir sobre ella. Hemos encontrado un documento anterior a los escritos de Platón, proveniente del año 9619 A:C:, más de 9000 años antes del escrito por Platón. Además, hemos reunido suficiente evidencia en cuanto a los hallazgos arqueológicos y a los hechos científicos para proporcionar pruebas convincentes de que la Atlántida existió realmente. Y hemos...

Teatro y Revolución Cubana

This study offers a profound study of Arrufat's play, using most recent critical trends concerning the performance aspect of the drama. It examines the genre of the drama and its relationship to the phenomenon of the Cuban Revolution, Arrufat as a Cuban playwright of the 60s and his re-writing of the Greek theme of the fratricidal fight in Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes. Also contains a recent interview with Arrufat in which he describes the social circumstances surrounding the play and some of his classical re-writing techniques.
