Theo's Odyssey

Harpercollins Pub, Ltd.

Does for spirituality what Sophie’s World did for philosophy. Theo is fourteen, very clever, reads a lot, loves computer games and the Greek myths. But then, suddenly, he falls ill. His rich aunt Martha decides that they must roam the world to find a cure for his malaise. What follows is a tour of the world’s religions and religious sites, with the sceptical, quizzical Theo being shown the varieties and depths of faith that exist in other places, other cultures. All this is handled with real style, pace, wit and clarity. The book is a thoroughly enjoyable introduction to why and how people believe in their God – even Dave Allen would have liked it.

HARPER/COLLINS

1947: o último vive-rei das Índias britâncias, Lord Mountbatten, sobe ao trono em Nova Deli; sua mulher, Lady Edwina, é uma das grandes damas da aristocracia inglesa; o pandita Nehru acaba de ser libertado da prisão — tornar-se-á em breve o primeiro-ministro da Índia independente.Tudo parece opor Edwina e Nehru e, no entanto, entre o rebelde indiano e a lady inglesa desponta uma paixão impossível, que Lord Mountebatten, o marido, aceitará com nobreza. Decorrem os sangrentos acontecimentos que se seguiram à divisão das Índias em dois países, o Paquistão e a Í em poucas semanas, massacres religiosos e epidemias fazem mais de quinhentos mil mortos nas aldeias e nas estradas.Só um velho homem de setenta e quatro anos compreende a iminência do o Mahatma Gandhi, que morrerá assassinado depois de ter apaziguado as guerras religiosas no seu país, mas sem ter podido impedir a divisão das Índias. Alguns meses mais tarde, os Mountbatten regressam a Inglaterra. Porém, o amor entre Edwina e Nehru durante doze anos escrever-se-ão todas as noites e viverão juntos um mês por ano. Até à morte de Edwina.Esta incrível história, lendária na Índia de hoje, faz entrar Nehru e Edwina — casal mítico no coração de uma epopeia contemporânea — no limbo magnífico dos amantes separados.

This was the first work to have applied a systematised feminist theory to opera. It concentrates on the stories &amp; text of opera, that perhaps have more relevence today in a growing literature than it had when it was the sacrilegious pioneering work.
