Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. German Lessons is both a coming-of-age novel and a work of historical fiction. It is set in Germany between autumn 1932 and spring 1933, the final months of the Weimar Republic and the early period of Nazi rule. The unfolding story of the central character, Frank Hannaford, a young Australian Catholic studying at a German university, examines the ethics of action and inaction in the context of the response of the Catholic Church to the new political realities of Germany. German Lessons is well-researched and historically accurate. Its informed exploration of ethical vacillation in the pre-WWII Catholic Church will engage and provoke older readers as well as lovers of historical fiction. It will also resonate with those following contemporary issues in the Church. The themes of ethics and personal growth will create discussion points and questions for younger readers, as well as building their knowledge of this historical period. Younger readers may also identify with Frank, a young adult trying to find his way in the challenging situations in which he finds himself, and with Anja, a young German woman who refuses to be intimidated by the Nazis. A novel about a young Australian student who travels to Germany to study in the early 1930s. The student, Frank, comes from a Catholic family, loves the German language, and is excited about his new life as an international student and as a nominal German.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Faced with the globalisation of violence against humans and the wider Earth community, a key question of our time is: Where can humanity turn for inspiration? Voices in international law, the UN system, labour and social movements, intellectual circles, religious and ethical traditions are calling for a shift from Just War to Just Peace. At the heart of this book is a wider call, for a Just and Ecologically Sustainable Peace. This book reflects the conviction that the arts, literature, activism and scholarly research can together contribute to the kinds of cultural shift requisite for a peace that flows from and extends to human relations with the natural world. Six artworks by peace artist William Kelly and five commissioned poems in response to those works, form the framework of the book. Interspersed with poems are creative prose and short thematic essays (of 1000-1200 words) from selected Indigenous, ecological, feminist and religious scholars and activists. A collection of essays, artworks and poetry by a range of First Nations and religiously inspired peace and environmental activists. It represents a call to recognise the deep implication of cultures of war and climate crisis. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
