"Above all, Romans is a letter about Spirit-enabled participation and transformation in Christ and his story, and thus in the mission of God in the world." This commentary engages the letter to the Romans as Christian scripture and highlights the Pauline themes for which Michael Gorman is best known- participation and transformation, cruciformity and new life, peace and justice, community and mission. With extensive introductions both to the apostle...

The letters in this volume illustrate the charming blend of narration and wit that comprise Chekhov's signature style. Ranging from love letters, discussions of literature with publishers and directors, and descriptions of the landscapes, people and preoccupations of his daily life, this collection lets readers see inside the mind of one of the world's greatest writers.

Además de inventar motores y turbinas, soñar con un mundo de naves teledirigidas y torres inalámbricas, levantar grandes laboratorios mágicos de los que salían relámpagos y tormentas artificiales y hasta diseñar aparatos domésticos, Nikola Tesla escribió mucho. Cartas a la familia, narrando sus éxitos y planes; cartas a sus jefes y patronos, contando sus proyectos y sueños; cartas a los amigos, cartas a los periódicos, cartas con quejas,...

John Betjeman began writing for the Telegraph in 1951 and continued to do so for a quarter of a century. During that time Britain underwent profound social and cultural changes. In architecture, grand Victorian edifices were pulled down to make way for gleaming brutalist monuments to the Future. In literature, a new generation of angry young men (and women) challenged convention head on. In music, pomp and circumstance gave way to the electric guitar....

Soon after his death, Vincent van Gogh's reputation grew and developed through the remarkably symbiotic relationship evident between his paintings and letters. However, the sheer bulk and complexity of Van Gogh's complete surviving correspondence presents a formidable challenge to those who wish to read and analyze the whole text as a literary work. Reading Vincent van Gogh is at once an interpretive guide to Van Gogh's letters and a distillation...

Este relato, la penúltima de las Novelas ejemplares de Cervantes es, en un primer plano narrativo, la historia de un soldado, convaleciente de sífilis, conversando con un amigo. La anécdota que narra el alférez Campuzano, enraizada en el tópico del engañador que termina siendo engañado -al que regresaron una y otra vez escritores consagrados y menores de los Siglos de Oro-, posee un andamiaje cómico notable. Un pequeño guiño: cuando Peralta...

"Alemania está muerta. Para nosotros, está muerta... Ha sido un sueño. ¡Véalo de una vez, por favor!". De esta manera se dirige Joseph Roth a su gran amigo Stefan Zweig, con quien mantuvo una singular y reveladora correspondencia que les permitió compartir intereses literarios, afinidades intelectuales, consejos personales y confesiones sentimentales. Roth, perspicaz y obsesivo, supo ver desde el principio el destino que le esperaba con el ascenso...

Alfred Wainwright, the legendary fell walker and author of the incomparable and unique Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells was also a fluent, eloquent and diligent correspondent. Writing to old friends and to the many new ones gained through his books, and to his love, and later second wife, Betty, his letters display a much warmer, more sensitive and emotional character than his gruff popular image would suggest. Hunter Davies, Wainwright's biographer,...
