Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good +. Trans. Peter A.Bien (illustratore). Reprint. The novel depicts the life of Jesus and his struggles with various forms of temptation, including fear, doubt, depression, reluctance, and lust. "According to the English translator, Peter A. Bien, the psychology in The Last Temptation is based on the idea that every person, Jesus included, is evil by nature as well as good, violent and hateful as well as loving. A psychologically sound individual does not ignore or bury the evil within him. Instead, he channels it into the service of good." The book was condemned by both the Catholic and Greek Orthodox hierarchies, as was the film produced by Martin Scorsese in 1988. Translated from the Greek by Peter A. Bien with a note on the author and his language 519p.

OCLC: 4859618 Standish James O'Grady (1846 1928) was an Irish author, journalist, and historian. O'Grady played a formative role in the Celtic Revival, publishing the tales of Irish mythology. Proud of his Gaelic heritage, he was also a champion of aristocratic virtues and at one point advocated a revitalised Irish people taking over the British Empire and renaming it the Anglo-Irish Empire.O'Grady influenced many of the Abbey Theatre set; Lady Gregory, W.

Owen Roe O'Neill was the last great leader of the kingly Ulster house that during the Middle Ages played so big a part in the defiance of the English conqueror. When he entered that stage of history the fate of Ireland was in the balance: England's king and the parliament were engaged in a deadly struggle. To each side Ireland was but a pawn in the game; but inevitably to the Irish patriot, England's difficulty was Ireland's opportunity. It fell to Owen Roe to seize the occasion, and his gallant venture came near to changing the course of Irish history. Almost he won Ireland for the Irish, but the dice were too heavily loaded against him. The story to be told in this book is one of brilliant failure. It has a certain piquancy from the contrast between the hero and the setting. Owen Roe was a soldier of international repute, a scholar, and one of the first gentlemen of Europe. In character he sums up the four cardinal virtues; in temperament he unites an ironic humour with a singular simplicity. He stands head and shoulders above the men with whom he had to deal, a portentous figure dominating a scene in which mingle the highest idealism and the most sordid self-seeking, a protector fighting the forces of tyranny and chicanery on behalf of his countrymen ground down for centuries beneath the heel of a relentless, unscrupulous and contemptuous oppressor. Strangely enough, although his contemporaries, whether friend or foe, regarded him with almost superstitious trust or suspicion, his significance has never been fully appreciated in general history. Contents in Eight Chapters: Exile, A Distressful Country, Ireland's Opportunity, The Liberator, The Corrupted Cessation, The Battle of Benburb, A Losing Fight, and The Last Act. Plus a Bibliography.
