Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 'This selection is a ceaseless delight . there is a treat on almost every page' Daily TelegraphGeorge Orwell wrote, in his words, from 'a desire to see things as they are'. This new collection of his journalism and other writings, including articles, essays, broadcasts, poems, book and film reviews from across his career, shows his unmatched genius for observing the world. Whether discussing Polish immigration or Scottish independence, railing against racism, defending the English language or holding an imaginary conversation with Jonathan Swift, these pieces reveal a clear-eyed, entertaining and eternally relevant chronicler of his age.Edited with an introduction by Peter Davison'Orwell's luminous gift was for seeing things, for noticing what others missed, took for granted or simply found uninteresting, for discovering meaning and wonder in the familiarity of the everyday. Nothing escaped or seemed beneath his notice, which was what made him such a good reporter. Seeing Things As They Are is intended to be a collection first and foremost of his journalism, with preference given to lesser-known pieces and reviews as well as some of the poems he wrote. It is full of interest and curiosities' Jason Cowley, Financial Times'Peter Davison gives us a feast of [Orwell's] shorter writings, showing how from such hesitant beginnings he evolved into the writer of enduring importance we know, committed to decency, equality and political honesty, who could nevertheless wax lyrical over the first signs of spring or an imaginary English pub' Gordon Bowker, Independent.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini crossed oceans to spread the Gospel and serve the poor. She also wrote oceans of letters to her religious sisters as she travelled all over the globe. Frances suffered from health problems all her life. Despite her many limitations, she bravely faced persecution, poverty, and dangerous sea voyages to establish new schools and orphanages for her religious order, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. To keep in contact with her spiritual daughters throughout her many journeys, she constantly corresponded with her sisters. Mother Cabrini's letters have long been out of print in English, and this selection of her correspondence introduces modern readers to Cabrini's many gifts. Through her letters, we learn about her meetings with popes and bishops, as well as her encounters with ordinary people in Argentina, England, France, Nicaragua, Spain, and the United States. She vividly describes the sights and sounds she encountered during her travels to great cities and remote villages, including several experiences in which she came close to death. She demonstrates her business acumen, her innate leadership abilities, and her perseverance during the trials of establishing a religious congregation. She shows her sensitivity to her sisters' needs, as well as her willingness to confront them about their failings. But above all, Frances Cabrini was a saint. Through her letters, we can become acquainted with a truly holy 20th century woman. Her writings display her spiritual depth, her personal love for the Lord, and even her favorite saints. Her greatest desire in life was to be a missionary sister: a woman who spread the Good News of Jesus Christ all over the world. In this goal, she was wildly successful. She always attributed her accomplishments to God through the Scripture passage she quoted most often: I can do all things in Him who strengthens me.…
