The best book about faith in recent memory. They meet in Greenwich Village in when Charles and James are jointly hired to steward the historic Third Presbyterian Church through turbulent times.
Their personal differences however, threaten to tear them apart. Charles is destined to succeed his father as an esteemed professor of history at Harvard, until an unorthodox lecture about faith leads him to ministry. How then, can he fall in love with Lily—fiercely intellectual, elegantly stern—after she tells him with certainty that she will never believe in God?
And yet, how can he not? James, the youngest son in a hardscrabble Chicago family, spent much of his youth angry at his alcoholic father and avoiding his anxious mother. Nan grew up in Mississippi, the devout and beloved daughter of a minister and a debutante. In The Dearly Beloved, we follow these two couples through decades of love and friendship, jealousy and understanding, forgiveness and commitment.
He vowed to remain forever faithful and devoted to her — and he did. Josephine's fate was an extremely tragic one: Starting off as a promising pianist with Beethoven's help , the rich and beautiful young Countess was coveted and admired by Viennese High Society.
She was married against her will; her husband died suddenly and she had to look after four little children… Her affection for the composer left her torn between love and duty — the classic romantic conflict between the pursuit of individual happiness and the obligations imposed by the rigid class structure of the morbid Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Featuring all the Beautiful characters…plus one tiny new addition to the group. In Beautiful Beloved, Max and Sara take it to the next step. In Beloved Community, Casey Blake considers these intellectuals as a coherant group and assesses the connection between thier cultural criticisms and their attempts to forge a communitarian alternative to liberal and socialist poitics.
Blake draws on biography to emphasize the intersection of questions of self, culture, and society in their calls for a culture of "personality" and "self-fulfillment. He also examines the Young American writers' interpretations of such turn-of-the-century radicals as William Morris, Henry George, John Dewey, and Patrick Geddes and shows that this adversary tradition still offers important insights into contemporary issues in American politics and culture.
Beloved Community reestablishes the democratic content of the Young Americans' ideal of "personality" and argues against viewing a monolithic therapeutic culture as the sole successor to a Victorian "culture of character.

Foreword by Colin Gunton. All the Survivors had come to London for Imogen's wedding, and all were still here, except Vincent and Sophia, who had left for Gloucestershire yesterday. They preferred being at home, for Vincent was blind and felt more comfortable in the familiar surroundings of Middlebury Park.
And the bride and groom, of course, were on their way to Paris. There was no reason for George to feel lonely and there would be none even after the other four had left London and returned home. There were other friends here, both male and female. And in the country there were neighbors he considered friends.
And there were Julian and Philippa. But he was lonely, damn it. He had even asked himself in some alarm if he resented Percy for winning Imogen's heart and hand, for being able to make her laugh again and glow. He had asked himself if perhaps he loved her himself. Well, yes, he did, he had concluded after some frank consideration.
During the last few days he had toyed with the idea of hiring a mistress again. He had done so occasionally down the years. Last night he had lain awake, staring up at the shadowed canopy above his bed, unable to coax his mind to relax and his body to sleep. It had been one of those nights during which, for no discernible reason, sleep eluded him, and the notion had popped into his head, seemingly from nowhere, that perhaps he ought to marry. Not that he was physically too old for the latter, but he did not want a child, or children, at Penderris again.
Besides, he would have to marry a young woman if he wanted to populate his nursery, and the thought of marrying someone half his age held no appeal. It might for many men, but he was not one of them. He could admire the young beauties who crowded fashionable ballrooms during the Season each spring, but he felt not the slightest desire to bed any of them.
What had occurred to his mind last night was that marriage might bring him companionship, possibly a real friendship. Perhaps even someone in the nature of a soul mate. And, yes, someone to lie beside him in bed at night to soothe his loneliness and provide the regular pleasures of sex.
Two horses were clopping along the other side of the square, he could see, led by a groom on horseback. Both horses bore sidesaddles. The door of the Rees-Parry house directly opposite opened, and the two young daughters of the house stepped out and were helped into the saddle by the groom. Both girls wore smart riding habits. The faint sounds of feminine laughter and high spirits carried across the square and through the closed window of the library.
They rode off in evident high spirits, the groom following a respectful distance behind them. Home English Online. Read Book Download Book. For more information about Penguin Random House, visit penguin.
He nodded to the young man and sent him to the kitchen to fetch coffee to the library. George had enjoyed every moment. He was lonely, damn it. To the marrow of his bones and the depths of his soul. He almost always had been.
