Woman and Puppet
Woman and Puppet is a provocative exploration of seduction, power, and the complexities of desire. In this novel, Pierre Louÿs delves into the interplay of manipulation and sensuality, examining how relationships can be shaped by intense power dynamics and contrasting emotions. Through the intricate, sometimes troubling relationship between the Spanish dancer Conchita Pérez and her lover, André Stévenol, Louÿs critiques social norms around control, temptation, and submission, suggesting that love and dominance are often intertwined in ways that challenge conventional morality. Since its publication, Woman and Puppet has been celebrated for its bold portrayal of the erotic and the psycho...

In Spain the Carnival does not finish, as in France, at eight o’clock on the morning of Ash Wednesday. Over the wonderful gaiety of Seville the memory that “dust we are,” etc., spreads its odour of sepulture for four days only, and the first Sunday of Lent all the Carnival reawakens. It is the Domingo de Pinatas, or the Sunday of Marmites, the Grand Fête. All the populous town has changed its costume, and one sees in the streets rags and tatters of red, blue, green, yellow or rose, that have been mosquito-nets, curtains or women’s garments, all waving in the sunlight and carried by a small body of ragamuffins. The youngsters, noisy, many-coloured and masked, push their way through t...
Leaning on the Word
Think mid-twentieth-century Baptist evangelism, and the figure that comes immediately to mind is likely Billy Graham. But far removed from the glitz and glamor of televised crusades, what did typical Baptist mission field evangelism and worship really look like? In this latest volume in the Church at Worship series, Lester Ruth and Eric L. Mathis draw from a rich selection of primary sources to immerse readers in the worship life of Conservative Baptists in northwest Argentina from 1948 to 1964. Combining historical, theological, and practical perspectives, this book offers a vital educational resource for Christian ministers engaged in or preparing for cross-cultural ministry, introduces readers to a worshiping community that may be unfamiliar to them, and represents a significant contribution to liturgical history.
