Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Paul, a young Australian priest arrives in the Philippines in 1971
as Martial Law is proclaimed by President Marcos. His idealism
exposes him to first-hand experiences of violence and corruption,
to injustices, and above all to the heroism of Filipinos during
this extraordinary period of Philippine history. And in his
personal life, Paul has to confront the loneliness of the celibate
foreign cleric, living alone in the tropical fecundity of Mindanao.
The narrative confronts issues still critical to contemporary
society -- the misuse of power and the struggle for human rights,
issues of sexuality and religion, and the search for identity.
READERSHIP: for readers interested in political corruption and
violence -- as prevalent today as in the 1970s; the struggle for
human rights -- for society and the individual; issues of sexuality
and religion -- a raw nerve issue in church life; the search for
identity -- a perennial quest.
More than 150 years after its initial publication, Bartlett's
Familiar Quotations now enters its nineteenth edi tion. First
compiled by John Bartlett, a bookseller in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, as a commonplace book of only 258 pages, the
original 1855 edition mainly featured selections from the Bible,
Shakespeare, and the great English poets. Today, Bartlett's
includes more than 20,000 quotes from roughly 4,000 con tributors.
Spanning centuries of thought and culture, it remains the finest
and most popular compendium of quotations ever assembled. While
continuing to draw on timeless classi cal references, this edition
also incorporates more than 3,000 new quotes from more than 700 new
sources, including Alison Bechdel, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Pope Francis,
Atul Gawande, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Hilary Mantel, Lin-Manuel
Miranda, Claudia Rankine, Fred Rogers, Bernie Sanders, Patti Smith,
and Malala Yousafzai. Bartlett's showcases the thoughts not only of
renowned figures from the arts, literature, politics, science,
sports, and business, but also of otherwise unknown individuals
whose thought-provoking ideas have moved, unsettled, or inspired
readers and listeners throughout the ages. Bartlett's makes
searching for the perfect quote easy in three ways: alphabetically
by author, chrono logically by the author's birth date, or
thematically by subject. Whether one is searching for appropriate
remarks for a celebration, comforting thoughts for a serious
occasion, or simply to answer the question "Who said that?"
Bartlett's offers readers and schol ars alike a stunning treasury
of words that have influ enced
