Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 - 21 January 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His work is characterised by lucid prose, biting social criticism, opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism. As a writer, Orwell produced literary criticism and poetry, fiction and polemical journalism, and is best known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945) and the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). His non-fiction works, including The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), documenting his experience of working-class life in the north of England, and Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences soldiering for the Republican faction of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), are as critically respected as his essays on politics and literature, language and culture.

William Somerset Maugham CH (1874 -1965) was an English playwright, novelist, and short story writer. He was among the most popular writers of his era and reputedly the highest-paid author during the 1930s. Both Maugham's parents died before he was 10, and the orphaned boy was raised by a paternal uncle who was emotionally cold. He did not want to become a lawyer like other men in his family, so he trained and qualified as a physician. His first novel Liza of Lambeth (1897) sold out so rapidly that Maugham gave up medicine to write full-time.

Heb je er ooit over nagedacht hoe jouw vriendschappen van het evangelie kunnen getuigen? "...OPDAT ZIJ VOLMAAKT ÉÉN ZIJN EN OPDAT DE WERELD ERKENT DAT U MIJ GEZONDEN HEBT..." - JOHANNES 17:23Een verenigd lichaam van Christus getuigt van de liefde van God voor deze wereld. Het was Jezus' gebed dat het lichaam van Christus door onze liefde voor elkaar zou getuigen van Gods liefde. De manier waarop wij onze vriendschappen vormgeven is een belangrijk getuigenis van Gods liefde. De liefde voor onze vrienden, elkaars lasten dragen, samen conflicten oplossen en het leven samen delen - dit alles is een weerspiegeling van Gods liefde, trouw en loyaliteit aan Zijn volk. Onze vriendschappen zijn een getuigenis van de opofferende liefde van Christus voor Zijn volk. Wanneer onze vriendschappen echter gekenmerkt worden door conflicten, onenigheid, ruzie, roddels en wantrouwen zijn wij slechte getuigen van het evangelie. Als onze vriendschappen net zo zijn als de vriendschappen in deze wereld, beschadigen we ons getuigenis van Christus. Vriendschap is een diepgaande studie over wat het betekent om een Bijbelse vriendschap te hebben. Deze studie gaat in op onze behoefte aan gemeenschap, de grote zegen van vriendschap, het herkennen en vermijden van destructieve vriendschappen en hoe wij de ultieme gave van vriendschap kunnen vinden in Hem die Zijn leven heeft gegeven voor Zijn vrienden. Dit is de perfecte studie om samen te doen! Haal je beste vriendinnen erbij en volg samen met ons deze zesweekse studie, via YouVersion of op onze website. Naast de dagelijkse overdenkingen kan je op maandag, woensdag en vrijdag op de website blogs vinden die passen bij het onderwerp. Via onze Facebookpagina kan je in contact komen met andere vrouwen die deze studie doen, zodat we elkaar kunnen bemoedigen en samen kunnen werken aan het opbouwen en bewaren van Bijbelse vriendschappen.

"[Akinyemi] seamlessly weaves together academic and pop culture sources into the soccer sources to illustrate why soccer concepts appeal to a wider discussion, and vice versa." -- World Soccer TalkThe world's most popular game seduces millions of people all over the world. But football fans are constantly accused of caring too much about something that is "just a game". Unfortunately, these accusations are probably justified. They shouldn't care so much. They shouldn't shed all those tears over that last-gasp goal that lost them the championship. They shouldn't become enraged over that missed penalty.And yet, they do. You Say Soccer, I Say Football will tell you something that every fan of the game knows deep inside his or her heart. That underneath the surface, there are serious, bigger-picture lessons to be learned through football.Lessons about life, identity, leadership, mental health, and society. Lessons that encompass psychology, philosophy, politics, racism, and inequality. Lessons that, if only football fans mastered the art of rationally explaining them, would both legitimize this seemingly irrational passion and silence the critics that look down on them because of their obsession.From the author of Community Heroes: What a Year as an AmeriCorps VISTA Member Taught Me About Community Development and writer and podcast host for the prominent football website Black and White and Read All Over, Akinyemi's latest book You Say Soccer, I Say Football will help you explain why and understand how even though football is just a game, it can teach us invaluable lessons about life and ourselves."Deserves a spot on the shelf among your soccer books you'll loan out (and require the person to return)." -- World Soccer Talk

Con el procedimiento de un matemático que hubiese derivado en las humanidades, el autor de Las malas palabras estudia el cuerpo poético de los Años Cero en su "zona lateral": escrituras (sub)urbanas, escrituras femeninas, escrituras queer... esas que llamaríamos (agitando en un frasco de laboratorio a Derrida) "poéticas de la différance". Tales escrituras son examinadas aquí por el bisturí gramatical de Ángel Pérez; tatuadas para el imaginario de la nación en sus atributos de formas, rastros y códigos simbólicos generacionales.Los ensayos reunidos en este libro -atravesados por un lenguaje que, buscando evidencias, se halla a sí mismo en una espiral de pensamientos- dicen también del exquisito carácter, estilo y gusto estético del autor: modos de contar/conducir una charla ilustrada de poesía; exposición manifiesta en el placer del hallazgo, en la retórica encontrada al arriesgar, explicar(se), líneas adentro, en un territorio que representa "una puesta en forma poética" de la Cuba contemporánea.
