| ronaldo fiance: More Scott Operas Jerome Mitchell, 1996-03-19 More Scott Operas examines some thirty operas based on the novels and poems of Sir Walter Scott that have come to light since publication of the author's widely reviewed earlier book, The Walter Scott Operas (1977), which discussed fifty Scott operas. There are chapters on an operatic setting of a Scott poem by a little known English composer who knew Wagner; on three operatic renditions of another poem, The Lord of the Isles; on Carl Loewe's opera Emmy, based on Kenilworth, and on an opera by a twentieth century Argentine composer based on the same novel; on a forgotten Italian Fair Maid of Perth opera that would rival Bizet's; and on two chamber operas by a composer-librettist who is alive and well and at home in Charleston, South Carolina. The book concludes with an intriguing account of Scott's night at the San Carlo Opera. Mitchell's approach is again that of a literary-historian than of a music critic or musicologist. He shows what happened to Scott's original poem or novel when it is changed into an opera and how that opera compares with others based on the same poem or novel. This approach leads to a fresh slant on Scott's characters and on the structure of his works, and it leads ultimately to our greater awareness and appreciation of Scott's art and of his impact on European culture. |

Six years ago, I left the town I once called home—leaving behind heartbreak, memories, and the one person who meant everything to me. Now, I'm back, ready for a fresh start with my daughter by my side. What I didn't expect? Running into Túlio, my childhood best friend. The boy who once knew all my secrets is now a man who makes my heart race in ways I can't ignore. And when my ex-husband resurfaces, threatening to take my daughter away, Túlio steps in with an outrageous solution: Marry me. A fake marriage will make me look like the stable parent the courts want to see. It's just a temporary arrangement, a legal strategy. Nothing more. After all, we've only ever been friends. But as we move in together, share a home, and navigate this charade, the lines start to blur. The way he looks at me isn't friendly anymore. The way he holds my daughter, protects her like his own—it makes me want things I promised myself I'd never want again. This was supposed to be just a proposal pact. A simple agreement. No feelings. No risks. No falling in love. But the heart doesn't follow the rules… and neither does Túlio. |

Lemaire, Pierre Michard, Jean-Georges Lemaire, Catherine Ducommun-Nagy, Philippe Chanial, 2017-07-01 Comment entendre, reconnaître et soutenir l'enfant loyal, thérapeute de ses parents et de ses proches ? Pierre Michard propose ici, à l'aide de la thérapie contextuelle de Boszormenyi-Nagy, des pistes pour restaurer le dialogue familial. Avec la thérapie contextuelle, Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy met en lumière chez l'enfant des capacités souvent ignorées de discernement, d'engagement et de réciprocité positive (don) ou négative (représailles) face à ses parents parfois fragilisés, ou en conflit. L'enfant dit parentifié se veut responsable de ses propres parents et tente de réparer un monde injuste envers les siens. Comment écouter et prendre en compte cet enfant dans nos pratiques éducatives et thérapeutiques ? Comment ne pas disqualifier les proches qu'il tente de soutenir ? Et comment oser recevoir d'un tel enfant ? Pierre Michard examine ces questions avec le regard de la philosophie et de l'anthropologie, tout en soulignant les points de vue alternés que le thérapeute doit adopter pour une intervention efficace. C'est une clinique de l'échange, du juste - voire du pardon - qui s'ouvre dans le dialogue thérapeutique. Le professionnel de l'enfance, qu'il soit psychiatre, psychothérapeute, psychologue ou encore travailleur social, trouvera ici des pistes de réflexion pour mieux prendre en compte les spécificités du dialogue et de l'échange au sein de la famille et en favoriser la reprise. |

| ronaldo fiance: Women Writing Zimbabwe Irene Staunton, 2008 The fifteen stories in Women Writing Zimbabwe offer a kaleidoscope of fresh, moving, and comic perspectives on the way in which events of the last decade have impacted on individuals, women in particular. Several stories (Tagwira, Ndlovu and Charsley) look at the impact that AIDS has on women who become the care-givers, often without emotional or physical support. It is often assumed that women will provide support and naturally make the necessary sacrifices. Brickhill and Munsengezi focus on the hidden costs and unexpected rewards of this nurturing role. Many families have been separated over the last decade. Ndlovu, Mutangadura, Katedza, Mhute and Rheam all explore exile's long, often painful, reach and the consequences of deciding to remain at home. In lighter vein, but with equal sharpness of perception, Gappah, Manyika, Sandi, and Holmes poke gentle fun at the demands of new-found wealth, status and manners. Finally, Musariri reminds us that the hidden costs of undisclosed trauma can continue to affect our lives for years afterwards. All of the writers share a sensitivity of perception and acuity of vision. Reading their stories will enlarge and stimulate our own understanding. |

| ronaldo fiance: Maradona Diego Armando Maradona, 2006-07-01 The candid, revealing autobiography of soccer's greatest and most controversial star. “Sometimes I think that my whole life is on film, that my whole life is in print. But it’s not like that. There are things which are only in my heart—that no one knows. At last I have decided to tell everything.”—Diego Maradona A poor boy from a Buenos Aires shanty town, Diego Maradona became a genius with the soccer ball, kicking his way to the heights of South American, European, and world soccer, yet his struggles with the pressures of life inside and outside the game repeatedly threatened to tear him and his legend down. Hero or villain, one thing about Maradona is certain: He was the greatest soccer player of his generation—and perhaps of all-time. Never before has the legendary Maradona given us his extraordinary story in his own words—until now. From his poverty-stricken origins to his greatest glories on the field, Maradona recounts, with astonishing frankness and brilliant insight, the pivotal moments of his life—the pressures of being a child prodigy, the infamous semi-final game against England in the 1986 World Cup, an incredible turn-around and the dream-turned-sour at Napoli, and the shame and disgrace of his positive drug test at USA 1994. In this amazingly honest autobiography, we see inside the mind of one of the most talented, controversial, and complex sportsmen of our times—a man torn between the demands of corporate club bosses, the fans, the media, and his own tempestuous personal life. With a new epilogue exclusive to this paperback edition that brings Maradona’s remarkable story up-to-date and more than eighty wonderful photographs, Maradona is a confessional, a revelation, an apology, and a celebration. 20 color and 63 black-and-white photographs |

| ronaldo fiance: And The Jhelum Flows Ramendra Kumar, The protagonist of And the Jhelum Flows . . . is Kashmir itself. The novel looks at the lost paradise with empathy and concern, shunning easy cliches. It goes beyond the binary divisions of black and white in which the Kashmir issue is usually depicted and instead shows the various shades of grey in between. It is the story of innocent Kashmir's: the mother who searches for her missing son, the father who dies for his daughter, the young bride murdered on the eve of her wedding, the student tortured and driven to suicide, the obsession with revenge, the betrayal of trust, the loss of innocence . . . And the Jhelum Flows . . . weaves together several narratives to create a moving portrait of a land marked by hatred, fear, violence, and suspicion, where despite all the pain and sorrow, there is yet optimism for a better tomorrow. The picture that the novel paints is a reflection of the reality in other parts of the country where peace is under siege and hope is the last resort... |

| ronaldo fiance: Poems of the Black Object Ronaldo V. Wilson, 2009 Poetry. African American Studies. Asian American Studies. LGBT Studies. Winner of the Publishing Triangle's 2010 Thom Gunn Award for Gay Poetry and the 13th Annual Asian American Literary Award for Poetry. I applaud Ronaldo Wilson's pathbreaking movement into what has never, never, in history, been said. About sexuality, in particular, these poems speak with incorrigible and raving clarity. And, always, they display intellectual curiosity, and an impatient, gorgeous readiness to make language new. Wayne Koestenbaum A] warning to anyone tempted to believe that in objectification lies freedom. Livid inside an apocalyptic negative capability, these poems are constructed through their maker's deconstruction, and reading, I too, felt unmade. Claudia Keelan Ronaldo Wilson's POEMS OF THE BLACK OBJECT turns the parenthetical inside out, contents kicking and alive, person, race and being: where fate is in store in you, not for you, out there; in consciousness, and barely conscious, where consciousness is the accumulation of the scarcely discernible experiences. Wilson's poems captures states of person, the thinking being, the being thinking, the being perceived, and all the slippage between stages of person, Black and on the page, folding and unfolding layers of social construction. Erica Hunt The force here is in the erotic attachment between the human figures certainly but also (and more surprisingly) between history and present-day experience. Ronaldo Wilson teases the reader with earnestness while he refracts event and experience. The effect is dazzling. The poems are panoramic. One part slave narrative, one part pillow book, POEMS OF THE BLACK OBJECT is a triumph of the social lyric: violent, tender, absurd. G.E Patterson For all the disturbances examined in this intensely lucid book of bodily desire, dead porn stars, and the high art of human survival, the voice of these poems manages to maintain a kind of giddy composure. Perhaps the trick of it comes through his sense that, 'pattern organizes trauma, and so does speed.' It's not so fast, the pace here; we're made to look, to see, with shrewd intention. It's that Ronaldo Wilson's writing doesn't let you get too comfortable. It shifts experience and reckoning from poem to essay, theory to epistle, these intuitive modes of a person in search of a particular poetics, darting around sharp visions that could bloody or shine on the tempestuous landscape 'the black object' emerges from.
