Celeste

Sinopsis del Libro

I was born into the family of William Julius and Emilie (Baudat) Gayle on August 30, 1919 They decided to name me Luella Celestine for my two grandmothers...Luella Love (Sanders) Gayle and Celestine (Pichon) Baudat. I did not like the name and was very happy that they decided to call me “Celeste.” At the time of my birth, my brother Milton was almost two, having been born September 2, 1917. Unfortunately, he died with Diphtheria on December 11, 1921, when I was only two. Mom and Dad had previously lost a son, Dalton, who died April 13, 1915 at the age of 16 months. He was born December 8, 1913. I was born in my parents’ home on Melton Street in Magnolia, Texas. The house was demolished in 1988. Ty (grandson) came over and told me about it and he thought it was terrible that they were tearing down a landmark where his grandmother was born. Mom was very proud of her little home as evidenced by notes she had written on the back of pictures she had taken to send to her friends and relatives. My Dad was depot agent and telegrapher for the Missouri Pacific Railroad at the time of my birth, and retired in that position. He was truly a “railroad man” and couldn’t stay in the house when he heard a train whistle.

La obra de Francisco Javier Puerto Sarmiento, Académico de Número de la Real Academia de la Historia y de la Real Academia de Farmacia y catedrático de Historia de la Farmacia de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, se centra en el análisis vital, académico y político de una de las figuras más relevantes para el devenir de la Segunda República y, sin embargo, más olvidadas. Se advierte en la personalidad de José Giral una doble vocación que le empujará por derroteros aparentemente contradictorios: la del hombre de ciencia, desde suposición como catedrático de la Facultad de...

Eucarístiques

Una col·lecció pòstuma que reuneix els salms més dolços i les poesies més espirituals de Jacint Verdaguer. En el poemari, Verdaguer se centra en l'Eucaristia, en la nit de Tabernacle i en la vida de Jesús. La col·lecció reuneix setanta-vuit composicions, no ordenades cronològicament, que buscaven divulgar la cristianitat i els seus costums al poble. En elles s'uneixen la creu (el dolor de la vida) i el calze (l'amor diví), expressades en himnes, odes i poesies.
