Professor Huppe's translation of Beowulf manages to preserve the meaning and rhythm of the original while at the same time making the poem accessible to non-scholars. The translation can (and should) be used for introductory literature classes as well as for more advanced classes, in which students read the original. Professor Huppe's translation enables the reader to appreciate how the poem fits within the "hero" genre, and to appreciate the struggle of the hero in the earthly city.

This is the second book for young adults in Claire Huchet Bishop's series on the lives of the saints and tells the story of Bernard, patron saint of travelers and skiers. It follows her book, 'Christopher the Giant,' a story of the man who was to become St. Christopher.

Simply told in modern idiom, this is the dramatic portrait of Bernard, who seems as much a part of this day as of his time (the 10th century, at the time of the Crusades). The rich, colorful illustrations of Maurice Brevannes, a celebrated French artist, lend a very lively element to the book, showing Bernard throughout the story -- first as a boy, later as a churchman, and lastly as a great leader.

Claire Huchet Bishop was an established children's book author when she began this series on the saints. Her books are true treasures -- it is a special pleasure to find the originals, published in the middle of the 20th century, so as to share with our grandchildren the books we loved when we were growing up. (Suitable for 5th or 6th graders up through middle school, perhaps -- but can be read aloud to younger children, and will be enjoyed by all ages.)

I was just in Berkeley, CA and happed to see an exhibit of the original art which is the subject of this book at the GTU Library. The illustrations in the book are true to the original and the book provides the necessary context for a complete appreciate of this marvelous work.

As a Chinese reader,I like this book,It tells what is a western life and teaches me how to deal with things in a new way

This is a wonderful gift idea for anyone who has everything or anyone who has an interest in their ancestry.

Father Tamburello does it again! His other book, Ordinary Mysticism, was like peeling an onion. I cried turning the pages as he laid bare a complex topic.

This time around, he reveals in pages a layman can turn the secrets of one of the world's enduring mystics.

We can't easily check with Bernard, of course, but it wouldn't surprise me if Father Tamburello explained things about Bernard that even Bernard didn't know!

Anyone who's ever wanted examples of typology in the Old Testament that points to Mary in the New Testament can find it here. These four homilies focus on the Incarnation and Birth of Our Lord. This is great to foster devotion to our Blessed Mother.

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux has been called the voice of conscience and dominated the Catholic church for nearly thirty years. "Bernard of Clairvaux: Sermons for Advent and the Christmas Season" is a compilation of his sermons, a definite but highly complex message he wished to convey to the world: that the Word of the gospel wishes to be reincarnated in the reader by being read, that the gospel lives on in the words, and that reading the word will grant one personal recognition of the true divine nature of the word. Translated from the original Latin by Irene Edmonds, Wendy Mary Beckett, & Conrad Greenia; edited by John Leinenweber with an introduction by Wim Verbaal, "Bernard of Clairvaux: Sermons for Advent and The Christmas Season" is highly recommended to community library religious study shelves or anyone seeking a renewal of faith.

A well-rounded story makes this book much more fun to read than "Oh see Jane." Noticing the author's name is Berniece Freschet; I wonder how the hero's name is Bernard. This nicely illustrated book has all the intrigue and pathos of an English mystery, complete with English terms.

It all starts with aunt Hilly's Visit to Bernard's old brownstone house at the top of Beacon Hill in Boston Massachusetts and takes us across the Atlantic and a mystery of mysterious jewel disappearances.
