The Santiago Pilgrimage: Walking the Immortal Way
by Jean-Christophe Rufin"Whenever I was asked: 'Why did you go to Santiago?', I had a hard time answering. How could I explain to those who had not done it that the way has the effect - if not the virtue - to make you forget all reasons that led you to become involved in it in the first place."Each year, tens of thousands of backpackers (Christian pilgrims and many others) set out from either their front doorstep or from popular starting points across Europe, to Santiago de Compostela. Most travel by foot, others ride a bicycle, and a few of them travel as did some of their medieval counterparts, on horseback or with a donkey. In addition to those who undertake a religious pilgrimage, the majority are hikers who walk the way for non-religious reasons: travel, sport, or simply the challenge of spending weeks walking in a foreign land. Also, many consider the experience as a spiritual adventure, with a view to removing themselves from the bustle of modern life. Jean-Christophe Rufin followed this "Northern Way" to Santiago de Compostela by foot, on over eight hundred kilometers. Much less crowded than the usual pilgrimage route, this one runs along the Basque and Cantabrian coasts in Spain and through the wild mountains of Asturias and Galicia.Translated from the French by Malcolm Imrie and Martina Dervis
La "santidad fingida": Respuesta al abuso sexual en la Iglesia
by Gregorio Delgado del RíoTrasparencia frente a ocultación cómplice. Vicio y virtud sinónimo de hipocresía. Se aborda críticamente el análisis del más grave escándalo clerical en los últimos tiempos. <P><P> Se pasa revista a la complicidad en la ocultación de obispos, algunas conferencias episcopales, curia romana y hasta de los mismos Papas. Ha sido el papa Francisco quien, de verdad, ha cogido el toro por los cuernos. <P><P>A él se debe la rigurosa implantación de un principio esencial: «la verdad es la verdad y no debemos esconderla». A partir de aquí, todo ha cambiado en la respuesta de la Iglesia. El presunto culpable, sea quien sea en la escala jerárquica, ha de responder por su crimen nefando ante el derecho de la iglesia y ante el derecho de los estados. No es posible ahora excepción alguna. Incluso rige otro principio claro por impulso del papa Francisco: colaboración total con las autoridades estatales en la investigación y castigo de estos delitos. Además de establecer un procedimiento, ya en vigor, para castigar a los obispos cómplices en la ocultación, se ha creado una comisión en el Vaticano para la protección de los menores, de la que forman parte algunas víctimas de abuso sexual, que viene trabajando con verdadera eficacia. Contrasta, sin embargo, la actitud de la conferencia episcopal española, anclada durante mucho tiempo en el pasado y en la idea de que los trapos sucios se lavan en casa. Todavía no ha cumplido el mandato romano de elaborar un procedimiento riguroso para abordar estos graves delitos, verdadero contra testimonio eclesial. En el libro encontrará multitud de observaciones críticas al procedimiento que se sigue en este momento y en el que no aparecen garantizados los derechos de todos los implicados. ¡Una verdadera pena!

Saracens: Islam in the Medieval European Imagination
by John TolanIn the first century of Islam, most of the former Christian Roman Empire, from Syria to Spain, was brought under Muslim control in a conquest of unprecedented proportions. Confronted by the world of Islam, countless medieval Christians experienced a profound ambivalence, awed by its opulence, they were also troubled by its rival claims to the spiritual inheritance of Abraham and Jesus and humiliated by its social subjugation of non-Muslim minorities. Some converted. Others took up arms. Still others, the subjects of John Tolan's study of anti-Muslim polemics in medieval Europe, undertook to attack Islam and its most vivid avatar, the saracen, with words.In an effort to make sense of God's apparent abandonment of Christendom in favor of a dynamic and expanding Muslim civilization, European writers distorted the teachings of Islam and caricatured its believers in a variety of ways. What ideological purposes did these portrayals serve? And how, in turn, did Muslims view Christianity? Feelings of rivalry, contempt, and superiority existed on both sides, tinged or tempered at times with feelings of doubt, inferiority, curiosity, or admiration. Tolan shows how Christian responses to Islam changed from the seventh to thirteenth centuries, through fast-charging crusades and spirit-crushing defeats, crystallizing into polemical images later drawn upon by Western authors in the fourteenth to twentieth centuries. Saracens explores the social and ideological uses of contempt, explaining how the denigration of the other can be used to defend one's own intellectual construction of the world.

Sarah: The Life of Sarah Bernhardt
by Robert GottliebEverything about Sarah Bernhardt is fascinating, from her obscure birth to her glorious career--redefining the very nature of her art--to her amazing (and highly public) romantic life to her indomitable spirit. Well into her seventies, after the amputation of her leg, she was performing under bombardment for soldiers during World War I, as well as crisscrossing America on her ninth American tour. Her family was also a source of curiosity: the mother she adored and who scorned her; her two half-sisters, who died young after lives of dissipation; and most of all, her son, Maurice, whom she worshiped and raised as an aristocrat, in the style appropriate to his presumed father, the Belgian Prince de Ligne. Only once did they quarrel--over the Dreyfus Affair. Maurice was a right-wing snob; Sarah, always proud of her Jewish heritage, was a passionate Dreyfusard and Zolaist. Though the Bernhardt literature is vast, Gottlieb'sSarah is the first English-language biography to appear in decades. Brilliantly, it tracks the trajectory through which an illegitimate--and scandalous--daughter of a courtesan transformed herself into the most famous actress who ever lived, and into a national icon, a symbol of France.

The daughter of a powerful lord, Sarah is raised in great luxury, but balks at the arranged marriage her father has planned for her. The groom is handsome and a nobleman, but on their wedding day, Sarah panics and impulsively flees to the vast, empty marshes outside the city walls. There she meets a young man, Abram, a member of a nomadic tribe of outsiders. Drawn to this exotic stranger, Sarah spends the night with him, but reluctantly returns to her father's house. But on her return, still desperate to avoid another wedding, she drinks a poisonous potion that will make her barren and thus unfit for marriage. Many years later, Abram's people return to Ur, and he discovers that the lost, rebellious girl from the marsh has been transformed into the most splendid and revered woman in Sumeria--the high priestess of the goddess Ishtar. But the memory of their night together has always haunted Sarah, and she gives up her exalted life to join Abram's tribe and follow the one true God, an invisible deity who speaks only to Abram. It is then that her journey truly begins--a journey that holds the key to her remarkable destiny as the mother of nations.From the great ziggurat of Ishtar and the fertile valleys of Canaan to the bedchamber of the mighty Pharaoh himself, Sarah's story reveals an ancient world full of beauty, intrigue, and miracles.From the Hardcover edition.
