Paperback. Condition: Fair. Strongly influenced by Classical drama, Jean Racine (1639-99) broke away from the grandiose theatricality of baroque drama to create works of intense psychological realism, with characters manipulated by cruel and vengeful gods. Iphigenia depicts a princess's absolute submission to her father's will, despite his determination to sacrifice her to gain divine favour before going to war. Described by Voltaire as 'the masterpiece of the human mind', Phaedra shows a woman's struggle to overcome her overwhelming passion for her stepson - an obsession that brings destruction to a noble family. And Athaliah portrays a ruthless pagan queen, who defies Jehovah in her desperate attempt to keep the throne of Jerusalem from its legitimate heir.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Fr. Florian Racine offers us a beautiful formation guide in Eucharistic adoration that will enable us to practice it in all its depth, and with a missionary perspective. God has made himself particularly close to mankind in Jesus his Son. The redemptive Incarnation of his Son is how God reconciles mankind with himself; the death and resurrection of Christ is the only path to the Father; the memorial of the Passover of Christ is therefore at the heart of our relationship with God. In the Blessed Sacrament, the resurrected Jesus is really present and acting; he draws all mankind into his filial relationship with the Father, through the power of the Holy Spirit.Thus, following the plan of God, Christians put the Eucharist at the heart of their lives, and take time to adore Jesus in this Holy Sacrament. The adorer wants to abide within the dynamic life of the Eucharist, just as he desires that the Eucharist transform his whole life. Adoration and Eucharistic life transform believers into the image of Christ.The author invites us on an itinerary, a journey of faith, in fifty-two stages, as many as the weeks in a year. Starting with the Word of God, he shows us how it is made present in the Eucharist, and invites us to mature in faith and be transformed by a greater communion with Christ. The Word of God sheds light on the Eucharistic mystery and receives a greater light from it.The fifty-two stages are grouped into three phases corresponding to the three Persons in the Trinity: I adore the Son, I adore the Father through the Son, I adore the Father through the Son, in the Spirit. These phases lead to a growth in the spiritual life toward union with God, commissioned by him at the inspiration of the Spirit, in the school of Mary.I hope that this book nourishes the adorers of the Father, and that it encourages them to put out into the deep, under the guidance of Christ and at the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, for the glory of God and the salvation of the world.- Most Reverend Guy de Kerimel, Bishop of Grenoble-Vienne, From the Foreword.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. A lean, high-tension version of a classic tragedy. The myth of Phaedra is one of the most powerful in all of classical mythology. As dramatized by the French playwright Jean Racine (1639-99), the dying Queen's obsessive love for her stepson, Hippolytus, and the scrupulously upright Hippolytus' love for the forbidden beauty Aricia has come to be known as one of the great stories of tragic infatuation, a tale of love strong enough to bring down a kingdom. In this "tough, unrhyming avalanche of a translation" (Paul Taylor, The Independent), Hughes replaces Racine's alexandrines with an English verse that serves eloquently to convey the passions of his protagonists. The translation was performed to acclaim in London in 1998, and the London production, starring Diana Rigg, was staged in 1999 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. "We are still catching up with Ted Hughes's gift for narrative verse after his Tales from Ovid," one English critic observed after the London premiere. "Little needs to happen on stage when there's a swirling action-packed disaster movie-riddled with sex and violence-in Hughes's free verse.".…
