The real thing is better. The Crux of Prayer Luis de Le n: The Names of Christ translated and introduced by Manuel Duran and William Kluback preface by J. Ferrater Mora As Christ is a source or rather is an ocean which holds in itself all that is sweet and meaningful that belongs to man, in the same way the study of his person, the revelation of the treasure, is the most meaningful and dearest of all knowledge. Luis de Le n (1527-1591) The Names of Christ is a masterpiece of the Golden Age of Spain. Written in the style of a pastoral novel, the work is a meditation on the philosophical and theological significance of the names of Christ. Based on a careful examination of ten names given Christ in the Scriptures, the book reflects elements of Augustinian, Jewish, and Islamic spirituality that were part of sixteenth-century Spain. Luis de Le n was born in 1527 in Belmonte, a small village in the Castile region of Spain. An Augustinian friar, a brilliant professor, an artful poet, he was a true Renaissance man whose vision of the fullness of Christ sustained him in the face of persecution at the hands of the Inquisition and infused his writing with a sensitivity that has made The Names of Christ a treasure of Spanish literature and a classic of Catholic mysticism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49726419501329,"sku":"CIN0809125617G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0809125617.jpg?v=1751233323"},{"product_id":"louis-de-leon-rare-book-manuel-duran-1675882149bdt","title":"Louis de Leon","description":"1971.

The international agency of these substate entities is giving way to new patterns of territorialization, as well as alternative forms of diplomacy.   Duran examines the diplomatic activities of two Spanish, two French and two Italian regions. The book poses the question of why and how these regions operate diplomatically in a given territorial milieu and convincingly elucidates the particular patterns of reterritorialization that result from these diplomatic activities.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52139701534993,"sku":"NLS9789004285408","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789004285408.jpg?v=1768560155"},{"product_id":"paradiplomacy-as-a-diplomatic-broker-book-manuel-duran-9789004325920","title":"Paradiplomacy as a Diplomatic Broker","description":"Since the publication of Der Derian’s seminal work On Diplomacy, diplomacy has been thought of as the mediation of estrangement between separated individuals, groups or political entities. In Paradiplomacy as a Diplomatic Broker, Manuel Duran focuses on paradiplomacy, the diplomatic practices of sub-state entities. He presents paradiplomacy as a specific site of diplomatic mediation, striking a middle ground between “realist” power play and the humanist need to connect to and engage with others. Indeed, the mediating of estrangement can be situated between both extremes of a continuum, with on the one hand absolute humanist diplomacy, aimed at rescinding all forms of separation between peoples, and on the other hand absolute power play diplomacy, maximizing these differences.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52144170205457,"sku":"NLS9789004325920","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789004325920.jpg?v=1768557805"},{"product_id":"quevedo-contra-quevedo-book-manuel-duran-9781463353599","title":"Quevedo Contra Quevedo","description":"QUEVEDO CONTRA QUEVEDO es un estudio, a la vez ameno y rigurosamente erudito, acerca de la vida y la obra de un gran creador, poeta, novelista, pol tico, y exc ntrico, del glorioso Siglo de Oro, Francisco de Quevedo. Su psicolog a, extremadamente compleja, oculta en parte su verdadera personalidad. Quiz  fue un falso t mido resuelto a atacar sin piedad, contra todo y contra todos, incluso contra s  mismo. Sus crueles cr ticas al gobierno, incluso al Rey, destruyeron su carrera pol tica y lo llevaron a la c rcel. Su brillante ingenio y su vasta actividad creativa hacen de Quevedo un personaje inolvidable dentro de la tradici n hisp nica. Este estudio da las claves para entender la vida y la obra, a la vez compleja y curiosamente moderna, de un aut ntico genio.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52431963193617,"sku":"NLS9781463353599","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53495670243601,"sku":"NIN9781463353599","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781463353599.jpg?v=1759174030"},{"product_id":"lorca-book-manuel-duran-9781258396381","title":"Lorca","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53036288311569,"sku":"NIN9781258396381","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781258396381.jpg?v=1768753807"},{"product_id":"lorca-book-manuel-duran-9781258391416","title":"Lorca","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53511109312785,"sku":"NIN9781258391416","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781258391416.jpg?v=1778187517"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-manuel-duran.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
