Some Far and Distant Place

Jonathan S. Addleton

4.9/5 (13833 ratings)

Description:Born in Pakistan to Baptist missionaries from rural Georgia, Jonathan S. Addleton crossed the borders of race, culture, class, and religion from an early age. Some Far and Distant Place combines family history, social observation, current events, and deeply personal commentary to tell an unusual coming-of-age story that has as much to do with the intersection of cultures as its does with one man's life. Whether sharing ice cream with a young Benazir Bhutto or selling Gospel tracts at the tomb of a Sufi saint, Addleton provides insightful glimpses into the Muslim-Christian encounter through the eyes of a young child. His narrative is rooted in many unlikely sources, including a southern storytelling tradition, Urdu ghazal, revivalist hymnology, and the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. The natural beauty of the Himalayas also leaves a strong and lasting mark, providing solidity in a confusing world that on occasion seems about to tilt out of control.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
