Paisajes del ser

[ES]Thomas Merton (1915-1968) escritor y monje contemplativo de la Abadía de Getsemaní, del estado norteamericano de Kentucky, abandona temporalmente su comunidad monástica para emprender un gran viaje; un experimento que fundamentalmente tiene que ver con la fascinación de los secretos que Oriente custodiaba y que culminará siendo la asombrosa síntesis de su vida. Esa tensión hacia lo otro que se llama sed pero también se llama curiositas, le conducirá por una secuencia de caminos por Asia, hasta llegar a perderse en el laberinto de los colosos de Gal Vihara, una sucesión de estatuas gigantes de Buda, que aunque no pudieron redimirle de su trágico destino, consuma el inicio de una total transformación, de una total disolución en su percepción del mundo. Recorrer, aunque sólo sea de forma indicativa, las páginas de su admirable Diario es la intención de este estudio.

A traitor's death? The identity of a drawn, hanged and quartered man from Hulton Abbey, Staffordshire

Analysis of a set of bones redeposited in a medieval abbey graveyard showed that the individual had been beheaded and chopped up, and this in turn suggested one of England's more gruesome I execution practices. Since quartering was generally reserved for the infamous, the author attempts to track down the victim and proposes him to be Hugh Despenser, the lover of King Edward II.
