Seeking to Understand the World: Literary Journalism of Vincent Sheean

Resumen del Libro

Libro Seeking to Understand the World: Literary Journalism of Vincent Sheean

Vincent Sheean, a groundbreaking American foreign correspondent and author, is known for reporting from Europe, North Africa, and Asia, writing news reports, articles, and books. A few books and articles have described Vincent Sheean’s life, and briefly discussed his major nonfiction books. However, no book-length study or article has closely examined his nonfiction books. 'Seeking to Understand the World: Literary Journalism of Vincent Sheean', textually analyzes his five nonfiction, journalistic books to examine them for characteristics of literary journalism. Spanning nearly the entirety of his journalistic career, these books include 'Personal History' (1935), 'Not Peace but a Sword' (1939), 'Between the Thunder and the Sun' (1943), 'Lead, Kindly Light' (1949), and 'Nehru: The Years of Power' (1960). Set in different world areas, the books illuminate events as disparate as the Riffian war, the Spanish Civil War, the infamous Munich pact, the Nazi bombing of London, and the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. Sheean’s books provide an in-depth, personal look at these and related events. This book includes analysis of Sheean’s works, finding that they have several prominent characteristics of literary journalism: stories and scenes, cohesive structure, lifelike characters, vivid description, well-crafted sentences, immersive reporting, among others.

Apologia pro vita sua

Libro Apologia pro vita sua

Considerada una obra cumbre de la literatura autobiográfica universal, la Apologia pro vita sua supuso para su autor, J.H. Newman, la anhelada oportunidad de defenderse frente a la incomprensión y el rechazo que había causado en Inglaterra su conversión al catolicismo. Newman ofrece en este cálido relato de su itinerario vital e intelectual un ejemplo de honestidad y libertad en su camino hacia el catolicismo, a la vez que de respeto y estima hacia el anglicanismo del que procedía, que ha marcado su influencia en el pensamiento cristiano contemporáneo, confirmada con su beatificación...

Universal Father

Libro Universal Father

Pope John Paul II is now universally considered to have been one of the great leaders of the twentieth century and possibly the most politically influential pope since St Peter. His achievements are well documented, yet he once said, 'I can only be understood from the inside.'

It also dramatically follows his life,...
