    Sister Thorn and Catholic Mysticism in Modern America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 896min
    One day in 1917, while cooking dinner at home in Manhattan, Margaret Reilly felt a sharp pain over her heart and claimed to see a crucifix emerging in blood on her skin. Four years later Reilly entered the convent ofthe Sisters of the Good Shepherd in Peekskill, New York, where, known as SisterMary of the Crown of Thorns, she spent most of her life gravely ill andpossibly exhibiting Christ's wounds. In this portrait of Sister Thorn, Paula M. Kane scrutinizes the responses to this American stigmatic's experiences and illustrates the surprising presence of mystical phenomena in twentieth-century American Catholicism. Drawing on accounts by clerical authorities, ordinary Catholics, doctors, and journalists - as well as on medicine, anthropology, and gender studies - Kane explores American Catholic mysticism, setting it in the context of life after World War I and showing the war's impact on American Christianity. Sister Thorn's life, she reveals, marks the beginning of a transition among Catholics from a devotional, Old World piety to a newly confident role in American society. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angela Brazil. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bbca/001602/bk_bbca_001602_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Carlo Scarpa, Castelvecchio, Verona
    Carlo Scarpa began to come into national prominencewith several designs for exhibitions.The first were in Venice: "Paul Klee" (1948) forthe 1949 Biennale, "Giovanni Bellini" (1949) atthe Palazzo Ducale, "Toulouse Lautrec" (1952)at the Palazzo Correr, and "Tiepolo" for the1952 Biennale. Others followed: "Quattrocento"(1953) at Messina town hall and "Piet Mondrian"(1956) at the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Modernain Rome. Such commissions finally led him intothe design of museum interiors: among many,his most celebrated were the Museo dell'Accademia(1952-56) and the Museo Correr (1953to 1969), both in Venice, the Palazzo Abbatellis(1953/54) in Palermo, the Gipsoteca Canovianain Possagno (1955-57) and the Museo di Castelvecchio(1956-64) in Verona. Scarpa's exhibit designsand museum interiors present a differentway of seeing. On the one hand, seeing the objectthrough provision of a sympathetic settingfor it; on the other, seeing contemporary "modern" architecture in the context of the culturalcontinuum that has carried it to where it nowmomentarily hovers. The Museo di Castelvecchiowas developed on the bombed ruins of theScaligery family's medieval castle in Verona. Firstcommissioned to redesign the oldest section ofthe building, Scarpa was later asked to completethe museum. The work is a monument to Scarpa'ssensibilties about time and place. Accordingto critic Nory Miller he "achieved an extraordinarycoexistence involving architecture of differentcenturies, including this one ... withoutthe crutches of neutral glass linkages, uniformmaterials, or historical references ... Each angle,shape, surface is chosen to engage the attentionor participation of the visitor." Indeed, the symbiosisbetween Scarpa's work and the survivingfabric is such that differences are hardly apparent.With his infinitive capacity for fine detailing,he touched the past lightly; because he was soconscious of continuity the museum gives the"sense that construction has been supended".(After Donald Leslie Johnson and Donald Langmead.)Valeria Carullo is curator of the Robert ElwallPhotographs Collection in the Royal Institute ofBritish Architects, Paola Marini is director andAlba Di Lieto curator of the Musei d'Arte Monumentiof the city of Verona. Richard Bryant isone of the best-known architectural photographers,working all over the world. He is the onlyphotographer with an honorary fellowship ofthe Royal Institute of British Architects.

    Vita Nova
    Winner of the Nobel Prize in LiteratureIn Vita Nova, Pulitzer-Prize winning poet Louise Glck manages the apparently impossible: a terrifying act of perspective that brings into resolution the smallest human hope and the vast forces that shape and thwart itSince Araratin 1990, Louise Gluck has been exploring a form that is, according to the poet, Robert Hass, her invention.Vita Nova--like its immediate predecessors, a booklength sequence--combines the ecstatic utterance ofThe Wild Iriswith the worldly dramas elaborated inMeadowlands. Vita Novais a book that exists in the long moment of spring: a book of deaths and beginnings, resignation and hope; brutal, luminous, and far-seeing.Like late Yeats,Vita Novadares large statement. By turns stern interlocutor and ardent novitiate, Gluck compasses the essential human paradox.InVita Nova,Louise Gluck manages the apparently impossible: a terrifying act of perspective that brings into resolution the smallest human hope and the vast forces that thwart and shape it.
