Like Farmer, Like Son - Adam Henson
‘People say “Like father, like sonâ€, and the story of my life has mirrored my father’s to a quite uncanny degree. Right from when I was a little boy, he was my rock; my mentor; my hero.

Dearest Father - Franz Kafka
Conflict between father and son is one of the oldest themes in literature, and in this open letter to his father - a letter which was never sent - Kafka tries to come to terms with one of the most deeply rooted obsessions of his troubled soul. Written as a long, tense and dramatic confession in which writer and man are gathered together in front of an ambivalent figure of authority, "Dearest Father" is a desperate attempt to retrace the origins of a turbulent and highly conflicted relationship between an unflinching parent and an extremely sensitive child. Both a merciless indictment of his father and an impassioned appeal to him, Kafka's inspired work is one of the most lucid and touching psychological documents of the twentieth century.

We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I - Raja Shehadeh

In his moral clarity and baring of the heart, Shehadeh recalls writers such as Ghassan Kanafani and Primo Levi'' Hisham Matar, New York TimesAziz Shehadeh was many things: lawyer, activist, and political detainee, he was also the father of bestselling author and activist Raja. In this new and searingly personal memoir, Raja Shehadeh unpicks the snags and complexities of their relationship. A vocal and fearless opponent, Aziz resists under the British mandatory period, then under Jordan, and, finally, under Israel. As a young man, Raja fails to recognise his father''s courage and, in turn, his father does not appreciate Raja''s own efforts in campaigning for Palestinian human rights. When Aziz is murdered in 1985, it changes Raja irrevocably. This is not only the story of the battle against the various oppressors of the Palestinians, but a moving portrait of a particular father and son relationship.

Father, Son and Spirit - Andreas J Kostenberger
From the patristic period until today, John's Gospel has served as a major source for the church's knowledge, doctrine, and worship of the triune God. Among all New Testament documents the Fourth Gospel provides not only the most raw material for the doctrine of the Trinity, but also the most highly developed patterns of reflection on this material particularly patterns that seek to account in some way for the distinct personhood and divinity of Father, Son and Spirit without compromising the unity of God. While there have been recent, fine studies on aspects of John's doctrine of God, it is surprising that none summarizes and synthesizes what John has to say about God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In order to fill this gap, Kostenberger and Swain offer a fresh examination of John's trinitarian vision.

Znovuobjevené paměti možná největší filmové hvězdy naší doby. Muže, kterého mnozí obdivovali, ale málokdo ho skutečně znal.„Tato kniha vznikla ze snahy vysvětlit vše mým dětem. Chci po sobě zanechat nějaký záznam, který uvede věci na pravou míru, naruší mýty, které kolem mě vznikly, zničí některé legendy a udrží piraně v uctivé vzdálenosti. Něco, co by s určitou přesností zaznamenalo dobu, kdy jsem byl na této planetě. Protože to, co existuje v záznamech teď, nemá vůbec nic společného s pravdou. To je vše, o co mi jde.“—Paul NewmanV roce 1986 se Paul Newman a jeho nejbližší přítel, scenárista Stewart Stern, pustili do ambiciózního projektu. Stern měl sestavit orální historii a požádat Newmanovu rodinu, přátele a ty, kteří s ním úzce spolupracovali, aby vyprávěli o hercově životě. Newman pak měl ve spolupráci se Sternem nabídnout svou verzi příběhu. Jedinou podmínkou bylo, že každý, kdo promluví na záznam, musí být naprosto upřímný. Stejná podmínka platila i pro samotného Newmana. Projekt trval pět let.Výsledkem jsou výjimečné paměti, které byly vybrány z tisíců stran přepisů, jež byly teprve nedávno znovu objeveny.

The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man - Paul Newman
In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman’s family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor’s life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years. The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newman’s voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The additional voices—from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston—that run throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman is telling. Newman’s often traumatic childhood is brilliantly detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Marlon Brando and James Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his ...

Cardinal Newman - Michael Ffinch
The fascinating and insightful biography of one of the most intriguing, thoughtful and controversial figures of the 19th century.''Growth is the only evidence of life'' - so said poet, academic and theologian John Henry, Cardinal Newman. Canonised in 2019 (despite having said ''I have nothing of the saint about me''), Newman was an important and controversial figure in the religious history of the 19th century.This highly lyrical and accomplished biography not only covers his religious life (he played a vital role in the Oxford Movement, and subsequently converted to Catholicism), but also places him in the context of 19th-century religious revival and changing attitudes. In addition to his sometimes controversial teachings, Cardinal Newman was also a poet who wrote the text of Elgar''s The Dream of Gerontius and was responsible for the foundation of the Oratorian Order in England.Michael Ffinch shows an unusual insight into Newman''s character, finding an unexpected warmth and humour in a man often thought of as cold and austere. This fascinating biography also shows a deep understanding of a church emerging from dark centuries of persecution and misunderstanding into the light of what Newman himself chose to call ''The Second Spring''.

Barnett Newman - Amy Newman
The definitive biography of a transformational American artist and the city that shaped himBarnett Newman (1905–1970), a founding member of the abstract expressionist movement, was a contemporary of such figures as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. He left behind only 118 finished paintings, six sculptures, and 83 acknowledged drawings, yet is often regarded as the greatest painter to have emerged after the Second World War. Barnett Newman is the definitive biography of a charismatic New Yorker who defied the rules and created an art of the sublime. This landmark book features original research conducted over decades, using scores of interviews, oral histories, and previously unseen correspondence to paint a richly textured portrait of a creative sage who became an exemplar of the artist-citizen. Born in New York to Polish Jewish immigrant parents, he grandly aspired to involve himself in every detail of the city’s life. He was a crusader for the civil service, ran against La Guardia for mayor, worked as a teacher, wrote poetry, criticism, and manifestos, produced political plays, and promoted other artists—all before painting a mature work of his own in his early forties.

Neobyčajný život obyčajného muža - Paul Newman
Paul Newman vo svojich memoároch úprimne opisuje celý svoj život: traumatické detstvo, kariéru, pitie, spomienky na Marlona Brandona, Jamesa Deana, Elizabeth Taylorovú, Johna Hustona, ale aj svoje najväčšie herecké roly, intímny život s Joanne Woodwardovou či svoje najvnútornejšie obavy, vášne a radosti. V roku 1986 sa Paul Newman a jeho najbližší priateľ, scenárista Stewart Stern, pustili do výnimočného projektu. Stewart mal zostaviť jeho pamäti. Predstava bola taká, že Newmanova rodina, priatelia a tí, ktorí s ním úzko spolupracovali, podajú svoju výpoveď o hercovom živote. A následne bude Paul Newman spolupracovať so Stewartom a podá svoju verziu príbehu. Jedinou podmienkou bolo, že každý, kto sa zúčastní na nahrávaní, musí byť maximálne úprimný. Rovnaká podmienka platila aj pre samotného Newmana. Projekt trval päť rokov a výsledkom sú neobyčajné memoáre, zostavené z tisícov strán prepisov. Newmanovo rozprávanie je silné, niekedy vtipné, inokedy bolestné, vždy však hlboko úprimné. Rozprávania priateľov z detstva a kamarátov z námorníctva, rodinných príslušníkov a filmových a divadelných spolupracovníkov, ako sú Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt a John Huston, ktoré sa objavujú v celom texte, dodávajú Newmanovmu príbehu bohatosť, farebnosť a zaujímavú rôznorodosť.

On the Narrow Road to the Deep North - Lesley Chan Downer
Lesley Chan Downer retraces BashoÂ’s pilgrimage through Japan, blending travel, haiku, and contemporary reflections.After eight years working in Japan, immersing herself in its language and literature, Lesley Chan Downer set off in the footsteps of Matsuo Basho, JapanÂ’s most cherished poet, to explore the countryÂ’s remote northern provinces. BashoÂ’s pilgrimage to find the landscapes that had inspired the great medieval poets gave birth to JapanÂ’s most famous travel book, rich in strange imagery and sometimes comic encounters along the road. In this intriguing cross-threading of journeys, perceptions and exquisite haiku, Lesley creates her own funny, loving and honest portrayal of contemporary Japan. As she walks, she finds at one and the same time a drab post-industrial landscape of concrete and cable, but also a land still full of the old enchantments. Nights in thatched highland villages and sake-drenched poetry sessions encourage her to see for herself if any of the legendary hermit-priests still survive in the sacred mountains of the north.

Diary of an Uncertain Psychic - Deena I.J. Newman
In Diary of an Uncertain Psychic, artist-anthropologist Deena I.J. Newman explores the life and lessons of Elizabeth, a California psychic and radio talk show host. Through vivid graphic narrative, this detailed account tells a story about images through images. Elizabeth experienced a continuous flow of inner images, In Western culture, the phenomenon of spontaneous inner imagery is often considered unusual or abnormal. Newman challenges this perspective by suggesting that many people experience spontaneous visual, auditory, and kinesthetic imagery and contends that such imagery may be a potential key to understanding psychic and mental processes. These images are interpreted differently across different cultures – as spiritual messages, omens, sources of scientific and artistic inspiration, psychological insights, symptoms of mental illness, or simply nonsensical productions of the mind. In visualizing these images on the page, this book invites readers to delve deeper into the complexities of inner imagery – both within psychics and within themselves. This graphic work captures the film-like inner images commonly experienced yet frequently overlooked, revealing the uncertainty involved in translating between images and words. Newman reflexively explores Elizabeth's and her own experiences to understand this process of translation.
