The Gospel of Thomas in English, Haitian Creole and French

The Gospel of Thomas was discovered in 1945 with a cache of books in Nag Hammadi, Egypt. The Christian and Gnostic books had been hidden on a hillside for 1,600 years. As book burnings spread in the Church in the late 4th century, an unknown monastic hid these scrolls for safe-keeping. The Gospel of Thomas is of immense value because it dates from the same period as the canonical gospels and because it is a remarkable record of what numerous scholars claim are the actual teachings of Jesus. The introduction synthesizes the leading exegetical and historical research in a bilingual Haitian Creole and English facing-page format. The text of The Gospel of Thomas appears in a trilingual facing-page format. This book is designed for general readers, students and scholars of English, Haitian Creole and French. This volume is an excellent tool for accelerated learning and for diving into the depth of the Apostle Thomas' tradition. Dr. Hans-Gebhard Bethge's widely praised English translation appears in an updated version. The Haitian Creole and French translations are based upon Dr. Bethge's English text. The Haitian Creole translation appears for the first time in print.

19th century French Symbolism/Haitian Creole translations/Languages  This book offers Arthur Rimbaud’s tumultuous prose poem of 1873, 'Une saison en enfer',  ‘A Season in Hell,’ in the French original with the Haitian Creole translation, 'Yon sezon matchyavèl,'  on facing pages. This powerful literary text transposes the creative and violent love affair of the younger Arthur Rimbaud with the older and married Paul Verlaine into whirling prose poetry that is piercing, hallucinatory and mysterious. Written at the age of 19 while recovering from a gun-shot wound inflicted by the jealous Verlaine, the work reveals the traumas of his personal life and it exposes the contradictions, genius and madness of France, Europe and colonialism in the late nineteenth century. This volume also provides J. Lyonel Desmarattes’ adaptation of Rimbaud’s beloved poem, 'Le bateau ivre', 'The Drunken Boat,' as 'Bato sou a,' which, at the age of 17, he sent to Verlaine in a letter of introduction. Rimbaud’s writing embodies  the power of creativity as the ultimate response to pain, alienation and confusion.        This book provides the French original and the Haitian Creole translation on facing pages in order to give readers the means to compare the languages and to see how the cultural and idiomatic expressions in the source text were  rendered in the Haitian Creole target text.      This volume is designed for students, scholars and lovers of French and Haitian Creole and the bilingual format is designed for accelerated study.    Benjamin Hebblethwaite is Assistant Professor in Haitian Creole and Haitian Studies at the University of Florida.   Jacques Pierre is Lecturer in Haitian Creole at Florida International University and Director of FIU’s Haitian Summer Institute.  J. Lyonel Desmarattes is the translator of several French and English literary works into Haitian Creole and a Journalist in the Creole Section of the Voice of America.

Poetry

"Woben Lakwa" is the Haitian Creole adaptation of Daniel Defoe’s (1719) masterpiece, "Robinson Crusoe." This classic book tells the thrilling story of the adventurer, Robinson Crusoe (Woben Lakwa). At the beginning of the book, the young Englishman is bored with his mundane existence and longs for travel and independence. Woben launches himself into an adventure in a world that is rapidly shrinking due to nautical science and the explosion of European colonialism. Woben travels to Africa and Brazil; finally he shipwrecks on a small Caribbean island near Trinidad. That is where he spends 28 years struggling to stay alive and escape his desperate isolation. "Woben Lakwa" is an exciting novel that recounts the hard-knock life of an Atlantic wayfarer. Woben’s survival strategies, his encounter with African, Brazilian and Caribbean people, and the violent measures he takes to secure his rescue have fascinated readers for centuries. Woben Lakwa provokes thought about colonialism, slavery and the consequences of European racial and religious ideologies in Africa and the Americas. The book includes a 13 page introduction by Benjamin Hebblethwaite and Lyonel Desmarattes plus 10 pages of reading comprehension questions that engage readers in discussion about the story and the vocabulary. This timeless novel will stun adult and teenage readers alike. Editorial Reviews: "Carrying a snake to school is one thing, making it sit is another." -- If we want to apply this proverb to the issue of literacy in Haiti, we can say that teaching people to write is a necessary thing; but what is more important is making available texts and books that are interesting for them to read. That is where we find the enormous contribution of Lyonel Desmarattes who adapted into Haitian Creole and into the culture of Haiti many classics, such as great French theatrical works, and in this book he allows Haitians and other Haitian Creole-speakers to discover a riveting account of an early contact between Europeans and Caribbeans. -- Albert Valdman, Indiana University Creole Institute About the editors: Lyonel Dominique S. Desmarattes works in the Haitian Creole section of the Voice of America in Washington, D.C.

Liv pwezi sa "Omega" se premye liv pwezi Jacques Pierre pibliye. Liv sa gen de pati ladan. Nan premye pati a, genyen plizyè powèm ki pale sou lanati, politik, lanmou, elatriye. Nan chak powèm yo, w ap jwenn kontantman melanje ak tristès, sajès melanje ak kout san, konsèy melanje ak kout tèt, laperèz melanje ak vanyans, ki se chapant chak grenn powèm yo chita sou li. Nan dezyèm pati liv la, tout powèm yo fèt ak pwovèb sèlman. Travay sa montre jeni lengwistik pèp Ayisyen an. Nan chak grenn pwovèb, w ap jwenn fòs resistans pèp la melanje ak feblès li, pasyans li melanje ak kè cho li, gwo bonnanj li melanje ak ti bonnanj li, kwayans li nan Granmèt la ak Ginen yo.
