The messengers
Nick Bunick was confronted by angels. It will change your life forever… Prominent and successful Portland, Oregon, businessman Nick Bunick never considered himself a particularly religious person. But he knew in his heart that he had experienced something extraordinary in a past life. Anxious to share it, but convinced that his story would seem unbelievable to most people, he kept it to himself. Then, two years ago, angels intervened. Nick came to understand that angels were prevailing upon him to tell his story — a story that began 2,000 years ago when he lived as Paul the Apostle, and walked alongside Jesus. An inspiring chronicle of the angelic visitations that led Nick to finally share his memories, The Messengers also illuminates the events of his life as Paul. Rich with the wisdom and awe borne of Nick’s incredible encounter with Jesus, this magnificent book truly signals a return to the Age of Miracles.
Biographie des regrets éternels
Empereurs, courtisanes, assassins, portefaix, jardiniers, amoureuses ou poètes sont les héros de ces vies romancées écrites en Chine depuis les premiers siècles de notre ère.
La biographie y était un genre littéraire qui ne semble pas avoir son équivalent en Europe, à quelques exceptions près comme les Vies des hommes illustres de Plutarque, les Vies imaginaires de Schwob ou les Excentriques anglais de Sitwell.
Au total, vingt-six biographies : vies exemplaires, portraits émouvants ou anecdotes célèbres qui animent pour nous l’histoire de la Chine avec la saveur poétique et le raffinement d’écriture des plus belles Fictions de Borges.
