This second poetry collection arises out of a decade of his hearing stories of people who have lived through personal and political conflict in Northern Ireland, the Middle East and other places of conflict. These poems tell stories of individuals who have lived through conflict: their loves and losses, their hope and generosity. One poem, 'Shaking hands' was written when Pádraig witnessed the historic handshake between Queen Elizabeth II and Martin McGuinness, who has since used the poem publicly. The phrase 'Sorry for your troubles' is used all over Ireland. It comes directly from an Irish phrase, yet Irish has no word for 'bereavement' - the word used is 'troiblóid'. So the phrase would be better translated 'Sorry for your bereavements'. With this in mind, this new book speaks evocatively about a time when thousands of people lost their lives and many thousands more lived through the searing pain of grief.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1848254628\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781848254626\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Ó.

How were his faith and his fiction related? Holly Ordway answers that question biographically, focusing on Tolkien's spiritual development, a dramatic story that previous accounts of his life have left largely unexplored. Here we find that Tolkien's faith was hard won. His Anglican upbringing was overturned when his mother converted to Catholicism. Soon afterward, she died, leaving Tolkien under the guardianship of a Catholic priest, who forbade him to see his Protestant girlfriend, whom nonetheless he eventually married. The Great War, in which most of his close friends were killed, deepened Tolkien's reliance on his faith, but then for a decade he \"almost ceased to practise\" his religion. Friendship with C.S. Lewis and success with The Hobbit were followed by another war and by turmoil in the Church that sternly tested Tolkien's commitments. The challenges and triumphs in his religious life are reflected in his masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e, that epic tale of endurance against the odds. As Ordway shows in her expertly researched and richly illustrated study, Tolkien's faith and Tolkien's fiction are intimately related, though in subtle and complex ways.

For three decades, they and their closest associates formed a literary club known as the Inklings, which met every week in Lewis's Oxford rooms and in nearby pubs. They discussed literature, religion, and ideas; read aloud from works in progress; took philosophical rambles in woods and fields; gave one another companionship and criticism; and, in the process, rewrote the cultural history of modern times. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Fellowship\u003c\/i\u003e, Philip and Carol Zaleski offer the first complete rendering of the Inklings' lives and works. The result is an extraordinary account of the ideas, affections and vexations that drove the group's most significant members. C. S. Lewis accepts Jesus Christ while riding in the sidecar of his brother's motorcycle, maps the medieval and Renaissance mind, becomes a world-famous evangelist and moral satirist, and creates new forms of religiously attuned fiction while wrestling with personal crises. J.R.R. Tolkien transmutes an invented mythology into gripping story in \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e, while conducting groundbreaking Old English scholarship and elucidating, for family and friends, the Catholic teachings at the heart of his vision. Owen Barfield, a philosopher for whom language is the key to all mysteries, becomes Lewis's favorite sparring partner, and, for a time, Saul Bellow's chosen guru. And Charles Williams, poet, author of \"supernatural shockers,\" and strange acolyte of romantic love, turns his everyday life into a mystical pageant. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Romantics who scorned rebellion, fantasists who prized reality, wartime writers who believed in hope, Christians with cosmic reach, the Inklings sought to revitalize literature and faith in the twentieth century's darkest years-and did so in dazzling style.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0374536252\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780374536251\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Zaleski, Philip, Zaleski, Carol\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Jun 2016)","offer_id":46356677558469,"sku":"9780374536251","price":31.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780374536251.jpg?v=1781310015"},{"product_id":"a-grief-observed","title":"A Grief Observed","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"I am grateful to Lewis for having the courage to yell, to doubt, to kick at God in angry violence.
