Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Escaping the Russian Revolution of 1918, several thousand emigres travel on Allied ships to a remote, uninhabited island on Canada's northwest coast to begin a new life. Despite many hardships and setbacks, the beleaguered but intrepid pioneers celebrate their first Christmas on the island, pledging to create a new community through hard work and spiritual enlightenment, honoring the rich cultural heritage of their homeland.Seventy-six years later, Steven Sanderson, a hard-working farmer, unearths a trunk filled with precious artifacts and a cryptic diary, unknowingly setting in motion a series of events that will reveal long-buried secrets about the island's founding. Monique Bellegarde, a beautiful music teacher and former concert pianist from Toronto, takes a position at the island's prestigious conservatory while recovering from an accident and trying to rebuild her life. Alex Somova, an elderly tour guide and one of the island's original settlers, spearheads a movement to preserve the island's special way of life that is threatened by a mining company.In this richly-layered historical mystery, several lives intersect on a remote and beautiful island, bringing past and present together in unexpected ways. Set against the backdrop of both the Russian Revolution and modern-day threats to paradise, Christmas Island weaves together themes of identity, belonging, and the power of music to preserve cultural heritage across generations.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The populist movements of the eleventh century (the Peace of God, Gregorian Reform, and the First Crusade) did not simply mark an important pivot in the greater history of the West. Taken together, they also represent a fascinating phenomenon unto themselves. R. I. Moore characterized them as the products of a 'bizarre but temporarily effective' alliance of the clergy and people, while Richard Landes and Thomas Head claimed that they heralded the 'emergence of the crowd on the stage of European affairs.' This book is the first comprehensive study to consider the textual records of that alliance/emergence from an intellectual perspective. Through an in-depth analysis of ten eleventh-century writers, the author Jason Macleod argues that a distinctive strand of political thought entwines its way through the textual legacy of these movements. From relatively obscure monastic hagiographers such as Letaldus of Micy to Pope Gregory VII to 'best-selling' crusade chroniclers like Robert the Monk, eleventh-century clergymen framed the populist fervour of their age in discernible patterns for contemporary consumption, while leaving a textual legacy rich with political implications for the future. While optimistic reformers romanticized the empowerment of the Meek and the Many in shades of vox populi, vox Dei, more sceptical observers pragmatically recast such activity as dangerous exemplars of God's wrath employed to correct elites' behaviour. Ultimately, this book contends that the body of political thought considered herein represents the earliest textual legitimization of political power for those inherently disempowered by lack of noble birth, wealth, or education in the medieval West. …
