Malta Through The Ages in Paintings & Prose (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Malta's history starts most likely before the Great Flood about twelve thousand years ago. Malta lies between Europe to the north and Libya and Africa to the south, and midway between the Suez Canal and the Straits of Gibraltar.
Malta is a small island nation in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea (123 square miles - 316 square kilometres). Malta's geographical position, its natural great harbours and the islands' ecological conditions are the basic constants that have shaped the historical tradition of this country. Malta was the venue of different cultures and peoples travelling the Mediterranean. It has an accumulation of many layers of history that together make up the nation's collective psyche.
Represented in this booklet, is an overall experience of the embodiment of all that is Maltese, depicted through beautiful imagery and creative symbolism. Francis' paintings combined with expressive prose by Joseph. S. Abela give the reader a perspective of looking through a window and thus providing a journey in time and space and an overview picture of the history, culture and customs of Malta and its people.
We have in fact an art exhibition in book-form that gives us an 'Experience of Malta through the Ages.'

Autor

Francis Xavier Aloisio was born on the island of Malta, but spent more than half of his life abroad, first in Peru as a missionary priest and then in England where he settled after resigning from the Church.
Whilst abroad, he realised that not many people knew about the temples of Malta. On his return home, he had a strong urge to find a way to promote the unique wealth of the Maltese prehistoric and historic culture. Firstly he created a collection of paintings depicting Malta's journey throughout history, and then he started doing his own research on the Temples of Malta and Gozo.
He completed a trilogy on the temples of Malta: 'Islands of Dream,' 'The Age of Magic and Wisdom' and 'The New Temple Dreamers.' He also published 'The Maltese Temples in Paintings & Poetry' and 'Malta through the Ages,' 'The Islands of Dream Speak' and 'A Cosmic Perspective to the Maltese Temples' as a self-guide to the sites. He even wrote two autobiographies: 'What a Trip!' and 'Coming to Light!'
In 2017, he embarked on writing the script and making a documentary of the Maltese temples: Let the Stones Speak! This documentary is a compilation of all his work and insights about the temples of Malta.
Francis directs and consults with people/groups about the experience of the sacred sites found on Malta & Gozo (see: maltatemplejourneys.com), and now together with Christine Auriela, does the same with people who want to visit the Central Coast of California and to connect with the pure Lemurian Energies (lemuriaenergyjourneys.com).
Francis started painting late in his life as a way of self-expression. He draws his inspiration from his Maltese background and his experience in South America and England. He is a visionary artist, author, public speaker and spiritual temple consultant.
