Ira Wagler Libros
La escritura de Ira Wagler profundiza en el profundo conflicto interno de un individuo atrapado entre las restrictivas tradiciones de una crianza Amish del Antiguo Orden y el encanto del mundo exterior. Su narrativa explora el miedo profundamente arraigado a la condenación eterna asociado con el abandono de la herencia de uno, yuxtapuesto con el anhelo de libertad y las vastas posibilidades de una vida diferente. La prosa de Wagler ofrece una mirada convincente a la lucha por la autodeterminación y el complejo viaje para encontrar el propio camino verdadero, marcado por repetidas partidas y regresos antes de una ruptura final y decisiva.
Ira Wagler was born in 1961, the ninth of a Canadian Amish couple's eleven children. At seventeen, in the dark of night, he left the religious settlement, but it was only nine years later that he finally left the church for good. His favorite Bible verse is from Psalm 34: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." In this new memoir, he tells what it was like growing up Old World Amish and what it felt like leaving it for a strange new world. Far more than picturesque; Growing Up Amish conveys one man's heartfelt experience.
