Falstaff's Wedding (1760 Version)-William Kenrick

from Exiles · host James Joyce

Exiles, a captivating play by James Joyce, is often overshadowed by his renowned novels. Initially rejected by W. B. Yeats for production at the Abbey Theatre, it finally found its voice in 1970 when Harold Pinter brought it to life at the Mermaid Theatre in London. The story revolves around a complex love triangle involving Richard Rowan, a Dublin writer returning from exile in Rome, his common-law wife Bertha, and his old friend Robert Hand, a journalist. The narrative draws intriguing parallels to Joyces own life, reflecting his experiences with Nora Barnacle in Trieste and mirroring the dynamics of friendships shared with Oliver St. John Gogarty and Vincent Cosgrave. The plot thickens with another love triangle featuring Rowan, Hand, and Hands cousin Beatrice Justice, adding layers of tension and emotion. - Summary by Wikipedia

Bible (Reina Valera) 15: Esdras by Reina-Valera ciesse El libro de Esdras comienza donde termina 2 Crónicas. Según lo profetizado por Isaías, el rey Ciro de Persia envió a los exiliados, dirigidos por Zorobabel, de regreso a Jerusalén en 538 b.c. (Persia había derrotado a Babilonia en 539). A pesar de la oposición de los habitantes no judíos de Judea, y luego de que los profetas, Hageo y Zacarías los alentaron, el templo fue reconstruido en 515. Luego, en 458, Ezra lideró la segunda de las tres oleadas de exiliados que regresaban. Cuando Esdras llegó, la gente había caído nuevamente en pecado. Esdras predicó la Palabra de Dios y la gente se arrepintió. Esdras tuvo éxito porque la mano de Dios estaba sobre él. Este libro, tal vez escrito por el mismo Esdras, muestra el poder de Dios y la fidelidad de Su pacto, ablandando incluso el corazón de reyes paganos para lograr Sus propósitos redentores.English Translation:The book of Ezra begins where 2 Chronicles ends.
