  • A Little Book of Eternal Wisdom
    A Little Book of Eternal Wisdom Author(s): Suso, Henry (1295-1366) Publisher: Burns, Oates, & Washbourne Ltd., London Description: ªThe Little Book of Eternal Wisdom is among the best of the writings of Blessed Henry Suso, a priest of the Order of St. Dominic, who lived a life of wonderful labours and sufferings, and died in the Fourteenth century with a reputation for sanctity which the Church has solemnly confirmed. It would be difficult to speak too highly of this little book or of its author. In soundness of teaching, sublimity of thought, clearness of expression, and beauty of illustration, we do not know of a spiritual writer that surpasses Henry Suso.ºÐfrom the introduction by C. H. McKenna Subjects: Practical theology Practical religion.

  • Translating Rubén Darío's Azul…
    Translating Rubén Darío’s Azul… A Purpose and a Method Adam Michael Karr Chesapeake, Virginia B.S. International History, United States Military Academy at West Point, 2005 A thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for a Degree of Master of Arts English Department University of Virginia May, 2014 TABLE OF CONTENTS Thesis Text……….3-47 References………..48-50 Appendix A: “Stories in Prose”………51-88 Appendix B: “The Lyric Year”……….89-116 2 George Umphrey opens the preface of his 1928 edited assortment of Rubén Darío’s prose and poetry with the familiar type of panegyric that begins much of the dissemination and exegesis of Darío’s work – “No apology is needed for [this] publication…he is one of the great poets of all time.” To Umphrey it was nothing more than a quip and a convenient opening statement. Darío had passed away just 12 years earlier but his posterity was assured. The Nicaraguan modernista poet has inspired an entire academic and publishing industry in Spanish language literature that is analogous to Milton or Dickens in English.1 He has had every possible commendation lavished on his legacy, is credited with revolutionizing the Spanish language, dragging it out of two centuries of doldrums following the glorious “Golden Age” of Cervantes and Lope de Vega, and creating the ethos and the identity for an independent Spanish America that would later inspire Borges, Neruda, and García-Márquez. Umphrey had no reason to doubt that any reproduction and exploration of Darío’s work, regardless of language, would be self- justifying, but he unwittingly makes assumptions about the future of language study in universities, priorities and structure in literature departments, the publishing industry and commercial audience, and a myriad of other contextual factors that would complicate Darío’s legacy.

  • TOTO Bio (PDF)
    TOTO Bio Few ensembles in the history of recorded music have individually or collectively had a larger imprint on pop culture than the members of TOTO. As individuals, the band members’ imprint can be heard on an astonishing 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a HALF A BILLION albums. Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with 225 Grammy nominations. Band members were South Park characters, while Family Guy did an entire episode on the band's hit "Africa." As a band, TOTO sold 35 million albums, and today continue to be a worldwide arena draw staging standing room only events across the globe. They are pop culture, and are one of the few 70s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles, and 35 years in to a career enjoy a multi-generational fan base. It is not an exaggeration to estimate that 95% of the world's population has heard a performance by a member of TOTO. The list of those they individually collaborated with reads like a who's who of Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, alongside the biggest names in music. The band took a page from their heroes The Beatles playbook and created a collective that features multiple singers, songwriters, producers, and multi-instrumentalists. Guitarist Steve Lukather aka Luke has performed on 2000 albums, with artists across the musical spectrum that include Michael Jackson, Roger Waters, Miles Davis, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck, Don Henley, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick and many more. His solo career encompasses a catalog of ten albums and multiple DVDs that collectively encompass sales exceeding 500,000 copies.
