1001 Arabian Nights: The Story of Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp / The History of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves / The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor

Anonymous Anonymous

"1001 Arabian Nights" is a beloved collection of folk tales and other stories. It is often known in English as "Arabian Nights," from the first English language edition (1706), which named the title, "Arabian Nights Entertainments." Originally, there were 12 volumes published, totaling more than 2,000 pages. This full sized paperback edition has been restored for a modern audience, and contains the 3 most popular and well known sagas from Arabian Nights, including the complete "Seven Voyages of Sindbad," "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp," as well as "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves." Excerpt from The Fifth Voyage of Sindbad Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved Scarcely had they finished their repast, when there appeared in the air, at a considerable distance, two great clouds. The captain of my ship, knowing by experience what they meant, said they were the male and female parents of the roc, and pressed us to re-embark with all speed, to prevent the misfortune which he saw would otherwise befall us. The two rocs approached with a frightful noise, which they redoubled when they saw the egg broken, and their young one gone. They flew back in the direction they had come, and disappeared for some time, while we made all the sail we could in the endeavor to prevent that which unhappily befell us. They soon returned, and we observed that each of them carried between its talons an enormous rock. When they came directly over my ship, they hovered, and one of them let go his rock; but by the dexterity of the steersman it missed us and fell into the sea. The other so exactly hit the middle of the ship as to split it into pieces. The mariners and passengers were all crushed to death or fell into the sea. I myself was of the number of the latter; but, as I came up again, I fortunately caught hold of a piece of the wreck, and swimming, sometimes with one hand and sometimes with the other, but always holding fast the plank, the wind and the tide favoring me, I came to an island, and got safely ashore. I sat down upon the grass, to recover myself from my fatigue, after which I went into the island to explore it. It seemed to be a delicious garden. I found trees everywhere, some of them bearing green and others ripe fruits, and streams of fresh pure water. I ate of the fruits, which I found excellent; and drank of the water, which was very light and good.

1 Chronicles ESV (Bible, #13)

Anonymous Anonymous

The central theme of Chronicles is the significance of the Davidic covenant as the enduring basis of Israel's life and hope. The Davidic covenant is expressed in the two institutions that derive directly from it: the monarchy and the temple. These institutions are mutually related (1 Chron. 17:10b - 14), and together they represent God's kingdom in Israel (2 Chron. 13:5, 8). The Davidic covenant does not replace the Mosaic covenant but builds on it for the new age of the monarchy and the temple.

This keepsake edition of The Second Book of Chronicles was taken from the King James translation of the Bible. The King James Translation is a masterwork of style, and the most important book in the English language, it has been the driving force in shaping the English-speaking world for hundreds of years. The Second Book of Chronicles is concerned with the Kingdom of Judah with occasional references to the second kingdom of Israel. In the last chapter Judah is destroyed and the people taken into exile in Babylon, and in the final verses the Persian king Cyrus the Great conquers the Neo-Babylonian Empire, and authorizes the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem, and the return of the exiles.

As Mil e Uma Noites: Edição Completa

Anonymous Anonymous

Num tempo muito longínquo, nas terras do Oriente, existiu uma vez um sultão justo e generoso que gozava do amor genuíno de seus súbditos. Apesar disso, certo dia, a desgraça ensombrou a sua alma quando seu irmão, o nobre e gentil Xazenã, o advertiu das infidelidades de sua querida esposa. Então, Xariar, ferido e furioso, ordenou a sua decapitação e, perdido a fé nas mulheres, jurou que daí em diante sacrificaria as suas sucessivas esposas após ter passado apenas uma só noite com elas. A primeira mulher que ousou contrair matrimónio com o sultão apesar desta advertência foi a formosa Xerazade, que além de bela era doce, discreta, culta e inteligente. Graças a estas virtudes conseguiu adiar, noite após noite, a sua morte, pois o seu encanto e as muitas histórias que conhecia e relatava ao sultão faziam com que este a perdoasse a cada amanhecer para poder escutar na noite seguinte o final de cada relato. Desta forma, Xerazade foi desfiando histórias uma após outra, entre as quais podemos encontrar as viagens de Sindbad, o reinado de Harun-Al-Raschid, a história de Zobeida, a de Ali Babá, ou o segredo de Aladino e a sua lâmpada mágica. No seu conjunto, os contos de "As mil e uma noites" compõem um magnífico mosaico de culturas orientais onde convivem o erotismo, fábulas didácticas e poemas. As suas origens são remotas e pouco se sabe delas. Na sua maioria provêm da tradição oral popular e apareceram transcritas entre os séculos VII e XVI. Trata-se sem dúvida alguma do texto mais popular da literatura árabe e de um clássico universal que prossegue cativando leitores ao longo dos séculos.

Até que passadas mil e uma noites, o sultão, apaixonado pela envolvente narradora, suspende a ordem cruel.

As Mil E Uma Noites - Volume I

Anonymous Anonymous

A primeira tradução feita em Portugal a partir dos mais antigos manuscritos árabes existentes. Diferente de tudo o que conhecia. Entre 1704 e 1717, o orientalista francês Antoine Galland publicou em 12 volumes pela primeira vez numa língua europeia «As Mil e Uma Noites». Apesar de Galland ter baseado a primeira parte da sua tradução no manuscrito (quase) completo mais antigo que se conhece (séc. XIV), mudou significativamente o texto, alterando de forma drástica várias histórias, fazendo acrescentos a seu gosto, introduzindo histórias que nunca tinham feito parte das versões manuscritas e depurando todas as partes impudicas. «As Mil e Uma noites» são um conjunto de histórias populares recolhidas por autor anónimo que teriam sido alegadamente escritas em persa e posteriormente traduzidas para árabe. Dos manuscritos persas, se existiram realmente, nada sobreviveu, mas dos árabes sobrevivem vários documentos possivelmente copiados de uma mesma versão primordial em árabe que se perdeu também ela. Cada documento tem variações e disparidades — cada copista terá acrescentado ou interpretado mal a seu bel prazer — apesar de haver um corpo comum surpreendentemente semelhante entre as várias versões, sobretudo nas mais antigas. Quem redigiu e copiou as suas histórias não seria versado nos cânones das belas-letras da língua árabe, e tudo leva a crer que este livro não agradaria nada aos leitores cultos, sendo muito possivelmente as suas histórias destinadas a serem contadas publicamente perto dos mercados, como ainda hoje acontece, por exemplo, na Praça Jemaa el-Fnaa em Marraquexe, e em saraus domésticos. O seu tom coloquial lembra os contos tradicionais portugueses, mas sem terem sido recolhidos por intelectuais e sem peias: as histórias são fantásticas, eróticas, violentas, apaixonantes e apaixonadas, cheias de lições morais e problemáticas filosóficas, de conselhos para melhor viver e amar. No corriqueiro de histórias para entreter reside a sabedoria milenar de vários povos e de uma antiguidade que nos é, ainda assim, ao mesmo tempo estranha e próxima. Talvez por isso as histórias de «As Mil e Uma Noites» estejam na base de muita da grande literatura universal por nos terem dado o imaginário da literatura fantástica oriental. Hugo Maia, tradutor e antropólogo, estudou língua, história e cultura árabes, preparou a primeira tradução feita em Portugal, a partir dos manuscritos árabes mais antigos, menos embelezada e filtrada pelo imaginário ocidental, mais pura, sobretudo mais fiel. Um marco na história da edição no nosso país e um texto fundamental da literatura universal.

Bibelen 2020

Anonymous Anonymous

Allerede fra den første side i Bibelen står de store fortællinger i kø. På én gang religiøse og eksistentielle grundfortællinger og vigtig kulturarv. Her kan man læse og lytte og blive klogere på sig selv, på vores kultur og på den store fortælling om Gud og mennesker. ”Bibelen 2020” er Bibelen i en nudansk oversættelse, hvor flow og forståelse er i fokus. ”Bibelen 2020” er oversat fra grundsprogene af eksperter i hebraisk, græsk og moderne dansk. Bibelen er en bog, der rummer 66 bøger. Den falder i to dele – Det Gamle Testamente og Det Nye Testamente. Det Gamle Testamente – ”Den Gamle Aftale” – er første del af Bibelen. Det begynder med fortællingerne om, hvordan Gud skabte verden. Med Adam og Eva og slangen i Edens have. Med Gud, der sender dem ud af haven til et liv med smerte og hårdt arbejde. Med Noa, der bygger et skib og redder dyrene og sin familie, da jorden bliver oversvømmet. Med Gud, der rejser en regnbue over jorden. Derpå følger en lang og dramatisk historie om forholdet mellem Gud og menneskene, mellem Gud og israelitterne. For hvad sker der, når folket ikke vil følge den aftale, de har indgået med Gud? Det Gamle Testamente udgøres af 39 bøger fordelt i fire hovedgrupper: Loven, Historien, Visdomsskrifterne og Profeterne. Loven er de fem Mosebøger, de første fem bøger i Bibelen. Derefter følger Historien, som starter med Josvabogen (6. bog) og slutter ved Esters Bog (17. bog). Visdomsskrifterne tæller Jobs Bog (18. bog), Salmernes Bog (19. bog), Ordsprogenes Bog (20. bog), Prædikerens Bog (21. bog) og Højsangen (22. bog) – Bibelens store poesi. Til sidst følger Profeterne. Der er 17 i alt, de største hedder Esajas (23. bog), Jeremias (24. bog), Ezekiel (26. bog) og Daniel (27. bog). Det Nye Testamente – ”Den Nye Aftale” – er anden del af Bibelen. Det hele starter i Betlehem, hvor der bliver født et usædvanligt barn. For Jesus er ikke bare efterkommer af den berømte kong David, han er også Guds søn. Man hører om hans liv som voksen, om hvordan han vandrer rundt i Galilæa, mens han uddriver dæmoner, helbreder syge og tilgiver folk det, de har gjort forkert. Samtidig chokerer han ved at fortælle jøderne, hvordan man i virkeligheden skal forstå den lov, som Gud engang gav Moses. Man hører også om hans død og opstandelse – Jesus bliver henrettet på et kors, men efter tre dage i graven sker noget ufatteligt. Det Nye Testamente udgøres af 27 bøger fordelt i fire hovedgrupper: Evangelierne, Apostlenes Gerninger, Brevene og Åbenbaringen. Evangelierne – skrevet af evangelisterne Matthæus (40. bog), Markus (41. bog), Lukas (42. bog) og Johannes (43. bog) – rummer beretningerne om Jesus. Apostlenes Gerninger (44. bog) følger op med den dramatiske historie om de første kristne. Brevene, 21 i alt, er breve sendt til de første menigheder og deres ledere. Åbenbaringen (66. bog) er slutningen på Bibelen og fortæller om en række voldsomme syner om kampen mellem det gode og onde og Guds plan om at gøre alting nyt.

Boken om Tusen og en natt; 1 av 6

Anonymous Anonymous

TUSEN OG EN NATT har siden verket ble "oppdaget" på 1700-tallet av franskmannen J. A. Galland hatt en enorm utbredelse i Vesten. Ifølge Verdens Litteraturhistorie er den å likne med Bibelens. Galland bygget sin samling på håndskrifter han hadde hentet fra Syria, komplettert med fortellinger han hadde fått muntlig av en arabisk kilde. Han var en glimrende gjendikter, men funn som ble gjort omlag hundre år senere viste at hans arbeid avvek på flere måter fra den arabiske originalteksten. I tida framover kom det stadig nye og grundigere oversettelser, bl.a. av engelskmannen E. W. Lane og av hans landsmann J. Payne. Den betydeligste europeiske utgave av verket sto tyskeren Enno Littmann for. Den kom så sent som i 1920-årene. Det finnes i det hele tatt et utall av variasjoner over det vi kan kalle den arabiske grunnteksten til TUSEN OG EN NATT. Som alle eventyr har verket sitt utspring i muntlige overleveringer, som gjennom generasjoners videreføring er blitt bearbeidet, slipt og foredlet. Historien til Sjeherasad, hun som forteller for å redde sitt eget og andres liv, har uavhengig av de ulike oversettelser og utgaver vist seg å beholde fascinasjonskraften. Her er alle livsområder berørt. Her fortelles historiske romaner, kjærlighetseventyr, reiseberetninger og kriminalfortellinger. Her finnes skrøner og fabler, anekdoter og religiøse legender. Det er forfatteren Jan Kjærstad som har vært redaktør for den foreliggende utgaven av TUSEN OG EN NATT, og han anser denne store variasjonsbredden som et av de fremste særtrekkene ved verket. Jan Kjærstad har i dette utvalget arbeidet etter prinsippet at de beste eventyrene skulle med. I tillegg rommer det eksempler på alle de nevnte typene av eventyr. Kjærstad har bygget på Waldemar Brøggers oversettelse fra 1967, den eneste komplette utgaven av verket på norsk. Som grunnlag for komposisjonen av utvalget har han benyttet den arabiske teksten.

Cantar de mio Cid: Texto antiguo de Ramón Menéndez Pidal, versión moderna de Alfonso Reyes

Anonymous Anonymous

Poema épico, se trata del texto más representativo del arte de los juglares españoles de la Edad Media. El poema fue escrito por primera vez en 1110, inmediatamente después de sucedidos los hechos a los que se refiere. El poema, dividido en tres partes o cantares, narra el injusto destierro y las aventuras del Cid, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. El tema del deshonor y la recuperación de la honra constituyen el eje central de la obra, que describe la mentalidad y los valores éticos de la época. Muchos de los personajes y hechos que nos muestra están atestiguados, lo cual le confiere un gran valor histórico.

Cantare del Cid

Anonymous Anonymous

Il Cid Campeador - nome leggendario d'un personaggio storico, Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar, vissuto nel sec. XI - è un eroe che si offre al pubblico come modello di equilibrio e di modesta sicurezza di sé, di coraggio mai disgiunto dalla consapevolezza dei limiti del fare umano. Ardito ma accorto, leale e generoso, non è l'eroe sovrumano della Canzone di Orlando, né le sue virtù sono idealizzate: ogni sua azione appare al contrario meditata, e il poema presenta numerose "istantanee" dell'eroe che riflette prima di reagire, anche di fronte ai gravi oltraggi subiti. L'indiscutibile grandezza del Cid, non esente da quelle debolezze umane e da quegli abbandoni all'affetto e all'intimità di sentimento che lo avvicinano all'uomo comune.

Tien jaar lang hebben twintig vertalers en tientallen adviseurs de bijbel opnieuw vertaald uit het Hebreeuws, Aramees en Grieks, Nooit eerder is er een zo indrukwekkend vertaalproject ter hand genomen. Nooit eerder is met zoveel kennis en respect de bijbel als literaire tekst benaderd. Nooit eerder is de taal van de bijbel zo intens bestudeerd, zo integer bediscussieerd, zo inventief en evenwichtig tot leven gebracht. De bijbel is literair gesproken een bonte verzameling boeken die haar weerga niet verhalen, retorische teksten, wetteksten, profetieën, brieven, evangeliën, liefdespoëzie, traktaten, gebeden - allemaal geschreven in een tijdsbestek van honderden jaren, verzameld, verder verteld, overgeschreven en ten slotte gedrukt en vertaald in honderden, duizenden versies en verspreid in miljoenen exemplaren. Deze vertaling heeft als uitgangspunt dat de tekst in de eerste plaats een literaire tekst is, maar vergeet natuurlijk niet dat het om een geloofsboek gaat. Katholieken en protestanten, wetenschappers en literatoren, in Nederland en Vlaanderen, hebben gezamenlijk hun werk verricht, met als resultaat een vertaling die nog generaties zal meegaan.

Una novela de culto sobre el abuso emocional que ha fascinado a los hipsters de medio mundo. Imagina que existiera un libro en el que Holden Caufield fuera alcohólico y Lolita, ayudante de fotografía. Que se conocieran en una ciudad espectacular, pongamos que en la Gran Manzana. Él queda cegado de amor. Ella, de ambición. Diario de un ladrón de oxígeno es una novela a tumba abierta que te hará reír y te partirá el corazón. Pero sobre todo es un recuento minucioso de las cosas que nos hacemos unos a otros y de las que permitimos que nos hagan. Tras ser varios años un secreto a voces entre la gente conectada de Nueva York, en forma de volumen autoeditado y vendido bajo mano en las esquinas del Soho y Williamsburg, el Diario de un ladrón de oxígeno explotó en 2016 y empezó su particular guerra mundial. Ahora llega en tu idioma.

Hurt people hurt people. Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer’s assistant and, somehow, they met in Bright Lights, Big City.

Early Irish Myths and Sagas

Anonymous Anonymous

First written down in the eighth century AD, these early Irish stories depict a far older world - part myth, part legend and part history. Rich with magic and achingly beautiful, they speak of a land of heroic battles, intense love and warrior ideals, in which the otherworld is explored and men mingle freely with the gods. From the vivid adventures of the great Celtic hero Cu Chulaind, to the stunning 'Exile of the Sons of Uisliu' - a tale of treachery, honour and romance - these are masterpieces of passion and vitality, and form the foundation for the Irish literary tradition: a mythic legacy that was a powerful influence on the work of Yeats, Synge and Joyce.

The introducers' passionate, provocative, and personal engagements with the spirituality and the language of the text make the Bible come alive as a stunning work of literature and remind us of its overwhelming contemporary relevance.

Egil's Saga

Anonymous Anonymous

Egil's Saga tells the story of the long and brutal life of tenth-century warrior-poet and farmer Egill Skallagrímsson: a morally ambiguous character who was at once the composer of intricately beautiful poetry, and a physical grotesque capable of staggering brutality. The saga recounts Egil's progression from youthful savagery to mature wisdom as he struggles to avenge his father's exile from Norway, defend his honour against the Norwegian King Erik Bloodaxe, and fight for the English King Athelstan in his battles against Scotland. Exploring issues as diverse as the question of loyalty, the power of poetry, and the relationship between two brothers who love the same woman, Egil's Saga is a fascinating depiction of a deeply human character.

Eine Frau in Berlin

Anonymous Anonymous

Als kurz nach Kriegsende ihr lang vermisster Freund Gerd glücklich und unerwartet von der Ostfront zurückkehrt, findet er eine ihm fremde Welt vor. Die Entfremdung wird noch größer nach einem Blick in die Tagebuchaufzeichnungen seiner Freundin. Auf seine Frage nach dem darin häufig verwendeten Kürzel "Schdg." kann sie nur bitter lachen. "Na, doch natürlich Schändung." Kurz darauf verschwindet Gerd. Ob für immer aus dem Leben der Frau aus Berlin -- wie so vieles wissen wir es nicht. Ihre Trauer darüber hielt sich in Grenzen. Nach all dem Durchlittenen war in ihr für Liebe und Zärtlichkeit kein Platz mehr frei. Man sollte sich wappnen vor der Lektüre dieser Tagebücher, die als eines der ungeheuerlichsten und authentischsten Dokumente der letzten Kriegstage in die Literaturgeschichte eingehen dürften. Anonyma, deren wahre Identität -- verständlich genug -- auf eigenen Wunsch auch über ihren Tod hinaus unbekannt bleiben soll, schildert den Fall Berlins vom 20. April bis zum 22. Juni 1945. Ihre eigene Vita bleibt weit gehend im Dunkeln. Anfang 30, Fotojournalistin, weit gereist, mehrsprachig. Ihre Russischkenntnisse sollten sich in dem kommenden menschlichen Inferno als lebensrettend erweisen. Inmitten des Bombenhagels und in banger Erwartung vor den Russen, denen ein fürchterlicher Ruf vorauseilt, haben sich Hausgemeinschaften in Kellerlöchern verschanzt; junge Mädchen werden auf Dachböden versteckt. Es sollte in den meisten Fällen nichts nützen. Anonymas unterkühlter, fast lakonischer Berichtston lässt die sich anschließenden Plünderungs- und Vergewaltigungsorgien in all ihren scheußlichen Details umso drastischer erscheinen. Trotz mehrfacher Schändung zeichnet sie ein wohltuend differenziertes Russenbild, frei von allem Untermenschendenken. Sehr bald jedoch erkennt sie pragmatisch: "Ein Wolf musste her, der mir die Wölfe vom Leibe hielt!" Anatol wird ihr "ständiger Begleiter". Fragen nach moralischer Integrität tauchen in ihr auf, werden weggewischt. In diesem Zusammenhang liefert sie auch eine schonungslose Bestandsaufnahme deutscher Mannsbilder, die sich nicht scheuten, Kellerfrauen dem Feinde zuzuführen, um selbst ungeschoren davonzukommen. Dem Schriftsteller Kurt W. Marek (bekannter unter seinem Pseudonym C.W. Ceram, unter dem er den Bestseller Götter, Gräber und Gelehrte veröffentlichte), verdanken wir den Erhalt dieses "selbstentblößenden" Kriegsgemäldes. Marek, der in ihrer unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft wohnte, lernte 1946 die Schreiberin kennen und erfuhr von den Tagebuchkladden. Fünf Jahre Überzeugungsarbeit waren nötig, sie von der Notwendigkeit einer Veröffentlichung zu überzeugen. 1959 erschienen, geriet sie leider bald in Vergessenheit. Die Frau aus Berlin ist mittlerweile verstorben -- ihre Erinnerungen werden ewig leben. --Ravi Unger

El auto de los Reyes Magos

Anonymous Anonymous

Antigua obra de teatro escrita en el siglo XII. Fue hallada en un códice del Cabildo de la Catedral de y en la actualidad se encuentra en la Biblioteca Nacional de España. Se cree que es la primera obra teatral escrita en castellano. Consta de 147 versos de varia métrica y está incompleta. Se presenta a los tres magos sabios que la tradición cambió en reyes siguiendo la estrella que los guía al lugar en que ha nacido el Salvador. Se ha dividido en cinco escenas, pero la acotación del manuscrito brilla por su ausencia. Se abre con tres monólogos en que cada uno de los magos habla sobre el significado de la estrella, continúa con la decisión de presentar unos regalos que aclaren la verdadera naturaleza del niño nacido, la visita a Herodes, que promete adorar también al niño, pero que llama a sus sabios para debatir con ellos el episodio. La obra se interrumpe en este debate.

Ele que o Abismo Viu: Epopeia de Gilgámesh

Anonymous Anonymous

Ele que o abismo viu é uma das versões do mito de Gilgámesh, a que é atribuída a Sin-léqi-unnínni (séc. XIII a.C.), considerada a mais completa e importante dessa tradição acádia, preservada em tabuinhas de argila que foram descobertas entre 1872 e 2014. O texto, traduzido do acádio e anotado por Jacyntho Lins Brandão, traz para o leitor brasileiro a mais ampla reconstrução do poema, que é o mais antigo registro literário que conhecemos. Na tradição que remonta a mais de quatro mil anos, ele é anterior a Homero, a Hesíodo e aos textos bíblicos. Nesse longo (e ainda fragmentário) poema encontramos, já elaborados de forma sofisticada, ideias, valores e leituras do mundo – além de vários mitos que aparecerão na tradição literária posterior, como a criação do homem a partir da argila, o dilúvio e a construção de uma arca para salvar as criaturas, humanos e animais.

El Lazarillo de Tormes (Spanish Edition)

Anonymous Anonymous

La vida del Lazarillo de Tormes (o de Lázaro de Tormes, como más propiamente debería llamarse al personaje, pues ese es su nombre) es, junto al Quijote y a la obra de Shakespeare, una de las cumbres de la literatura universal. Nada más, pero nada menos. Que un librito como este haya llegado a tan alto honor es consecuencia de muchos factores, sobre todo de la habilidad de su autor para escribir un relato aparentemente inocente pero que contiene múltiples interpretaciones subyacentes, constituyendo un auténtico tratado ideológico político y social que critica abiertamente la sociedad del siglo XVI español; y no es solo por el escarnio al clero de aquellos años, representado en varios de sus personajes a cual más detestable. Todo en este libro es extraordinario: su originalidad, su valor humano, su moralidad, su trascendencia literaria y cultural y su estilo. Sus múltiples lecturas, de las que el autor ya avisa en el prólogo, hacen apta esta nadería para todos los públicos y en todas las épocas. Se ha conjeturado mucho sobre quién fue el padre literario del Lazarillo. La búsqueda de ese autor es sin duda una de las investigaciones más apasionantes de la filología moderna. Son varias las propuestas que se han hecho por los eruditos que han investigado este asunto, aunque no hay todavía consenso en la comunidad científica sobre ninguno de los candidatos.

Embracing Obscurity: Becoming Nothing in Light of God's Everything

Anonymous Anonymous

No matter how famous someone might be, the fact remains; most of the other seven billion people on Earth wouldn’t know him or her from the next person. Add this reality to one’s shrinking recognizability among the multiple billions down through history, and the worldly emphasis on standing out really falls flat; we’re all in this obscurity thing together. Ironically, the trouble with me and you and the rest of humanity is not a lack of self-confidence but that we have far too much self-importance. To live and die unnoticed would seem a grave injustice to many. It’s all too easy to think we’re somebody if our portfolio is strong, there are a few letters after our name, or we’re well-known at work, church, or school. As pride creeps in, we are tempted to want more recognition, more admiration, more influence, more, more, more. Few have ever given thought to wanting less. That’s why we need Embracing Obscurity. Putting the premise into immediate action, an established Christian author electing to remain anonymous writes about living and dying in simplicity, contending that true success, as modeled by Jesus, starts with humility, service, sacrifice, and surrender. Such a life involves mystery and banks on the hope that today is just a dress rehearsal for eternity. When we stop imitating the world and instead choose to embrace obscurity, real life -- chock full of significance, purpose, and renewed passion -- begins.

Emilijos dienoraštis

Anonymous Anonymous

Nieko dabar taip netrokštu, kaip šviesesnio rytojaus vilties ir paskui jos įgyvendinimo. „Emilijos dienoraštis“ – autentiškas mokytojos dienoraštis, tik autorė niekada neįsivaizdavo, kad jis bus išspausdintas. Viskas prasideda 1942 metais, kai septyniolikmetė pradeda naujus mokslo metus Biržų gimnazijoje. Tikrovė negailestinga: išeina į karą klasiokai, artėja frontas, aplinkui sprogimai, baimė ir nerimas dėl ateities. Vėliau – baigiamieji egzaminai, istorijos-filologijos studijos Kaune, studentiški pasilinksminimai, Filologijos fakultetas perkeliamas į Vilnių... Ir štai Emilija – jau mokytoja neįvardyto miestelio mokykloje: dienoraštyje įrašai apie administracinius reikalus, švietimo skyriaus reikalavimus... Skaitytojas drauge lanko koncertus, teatrą, vertina atlikėjus, sklaido knygas, svarsto apie mokytojo profesiją, moters padėtį, mirties neišvengiamumą, mėgaujasi kelionių įspūdžiais ir stebisi „geležinės uždangos“ suvaržymais. Įrašuose – ir kasdienybė, ir nuolatinės grožio paieškos, meno alkis, ir daugelį metų puoselėjama meilė. Galiausiai į dienoraštį įsiveržia Sąjūdis, ir Emilijos akimis regime pirmuosius Nepriklausomybės dešimtmečius. 1942–2015. Visas gyvenimas prabėga pro akis. Nieko tikresnio ir labiau jaudinančio negali būti. Emilija atstovauja kartai žmonių, kurie patyrė Antrąjį pasaulinį karą, išgyveno sovietmetį, sulaukė Sąjūdžio ir Lietuvos Nepriklausomybės, – ir išsaugojo gebėjimą džiaugtis ir stebėtis gyvenimu. Jos dienoraštis – literatūrinis ir dokumentinis paminklas mūsų mamoms ir senelėms, vieno gyvenimo istorija. Anot poeto Mindaugo Nastaravičiaus, visgi tai nėra mažmožių ar smagių nutikimų rinkinys. Tai knyga su paantrašte „Vienos epochos liudijimas“. O ta epocha – nenoriu sakyti dramatiškai – buvo naikinanti. Bet žmonės vis tiek joje gyveno, kūrė, augino vaikus, neveikė nieko, priešinosi, veidmainiavo. Emilija ir yra iš čia. Iš persekiotos, ištremtos, nutildytos ir prisitaikiusios Lietuvos.

Ep o Gilgamešu

Anonymous Anonymous

Miraculously preserved on clay tablets dating back as much as four thousand years, the poem of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, is the world’s oldest epic, predating Homer by many centuries. The story tells of Gilgamesh’s adventures with the wild man Enkidu, and of his arduous journey to the ends of the earth in quest of the Babylonian Noah and the secret of immortality. Alongside its themes of family, friendship and the duties of kings, the Epic of Gilgamesh is, above all, about mankind’s eternal struggle with the fear of death.The Babylonian version has been known for over a century, but linguists are still deciphering new fragments in Akkadian and Sumerian.

The New York Times bestselling author of Diary of an Oxygen Thief and Chameleon in a Candy Store is back with the spellbinding conclusion to the series. You’ve never seen romance do this before. So brutally honest and breathtakingly perverse you’ll want to throw this book at the wall, but you’ll also want to know if it can possibly get any more disturbing (it can and it does). And as you start to wonder whether men and women were ever even meant to be together, a surprise ending brings the trilogy full circle and provides unexpected closure to an issue raised by a certain photographer's assistant in the first book. Eunuchs and Nymphomaniacs is about how we love today and how increasingly we try to avoid it altogether.

Everyman and Mankind (Arden Early Modern Drama)

Anonymous Anonymous

Everyman and Mankind are morality plays which mark the turn of the medieval period to the early modern, with their focus on the individual. Everyman follows a man’s journey towards death and his efforts to secure himself a life thereafter, while Mankind shows a man battling with temptation and sin, often with great humor. Both texts are modernized here and edited to the highest standards of scholarship, with full on-page commentaries giving the depth of information and insight associated with all Arden editions. The comprehensive, illustrated introduction argues that the plays signal the birth of the early modern consciousness and puts them in their historic and religious contexts. An account is also given of the staging and performance history of the plays and their critical history and significance.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu

Anonymous Anonymous

Publisher's series: Penguin 60s Classics Miraculously preserved in clay tablets, the famous Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh, from which this extract is taken, dates from the third millennium BC and is the finest surviving epic poem before Homer's Odyssey and Iliad. Both moral and god, Gilgamesh is superior to all men in looks and strength. He finds a companion in Enkidu and a firm friendship ensues. Enkidu's fate is sealed when their adventures incur the wrath of the gods and Gilgamesh is left to contemplate the inevitability of death. A stirring chronicle of heroic adventure and friendship.

Gilgamesh: A New English Version

Anonymous Anonymous

This brilliant new treatment of the world's oldest epic is a literary event on par with Seamus Heaney's wildly popular Beowulf translation. Esteemed translator and best-selling author Stephen Mitchell energizes a heroic tale so old it predates Homer's Iliad by more than a millennium. In the ancient city of Uruk, the tyrannical King Gilgamesh tramples citizens "like a wild bull". The gods send an untamed man named Enkidu to control the ruthless king, but after fighting, Enkidu and Gilgamesh become great friends and embark on a series of adventures. They kill fearsome creatures before Enkidu succumbs to disease, leaving Gilgamesh despondent and alone. Eventually, Gilgamesh moves forward, and his quest becomes a soul-searching journey of self-discovery. Mitchell's treatment of this extraordinary work is the finest yet, surpassing previous versions in its preservation of the wisdom and beauty of the original. ©2004 Stephen Mitchell (P)2004 Recorded Books LLC

Grettir's Saga

A sweeping epic of the Viking Age, Grettir's Saga follows the life of the outlaw Grettir the Strong as he battles against sorcery, bad luck, and the vengefulness of his enemies. Feared by many, Grettir is a warrior and also a poet and a lover. Unable to resolve the dispute that has outlawed him, he lives outside the bounds of family life and he roams the countryside, ridding Iceland and Norway of berserker warriors, trolls, and the walking dead. The saga presents a poignant story of medieval Icelandic society, combining details of everyday legal disputes with folklore and legend. With its scathing humor, explicit verses, and fantastic monsters, Grettir's Saga is among the most famous and widely read of Iceland's epics. In addition to Jesse Byock's lively new translation, this edition includes extensive maps, genealogies, illustrations, a chronology and glossary, as well as helpful notes, an up-to-date bibliography, and thorough introduction exploring the saga in the context of other works of Icelandic and medieval literature.

Neither prose nor poetry but a unique, mesmerising fusion of both, the Qur'an stands as one of the world's most important spiritual texts and is a source of law, instruction and comfort for about one and half billion people around the globe. It is, among the world's religious scriptures, arguably the one that today commands the attention of those unfamiliar with its teachings. There are numerous English translations of the Qur'an available, yet few, if any of them, can claim a phrase-by-phrase translation, concurrent with the original text in Arabic. This edition, from the Islamic College for Advanced Studies (ICAS), does just this. In addition to being of invaluable benefit to readers who understand English only, this method also permits those with even a rudimentary grasp of Arabic to draw nearer to the Qur'an's inimitable style and lofty message, by following the Arabic text while being guided by the English. Expertly translated and prepared, this edition of the Qur'an also makes extensive use of classical commentaries from both Sunni and Shi'i sources for broader-based understanding.

Il Corano

Secondo la tradizione islamica, il Corano è il Libro Sacro per eccellenza, la Parola di Dio rivelata al profeta Muhammad tramite l’Angelo Gabriele. Composto da 114 capitoli, detti sure, suddivisi in versetti (ayat), il Corano all’inizio fu trasmesso oralmente: dopo la morte del Profeta le sure furono raccolte e divise in sure meccane e medinesi, a seconda del periodo in cui furono rivelate. Le sure meccane, più antiche e brevi, risalgono a prima dell’emigrazione (egira) di Muhammad a Medina e in esse sono contenuti i fondamenti dell’Islàm; le sure medinesi sono discorsi su culto, diritto e ordine sociale rivolti alla nascitura e neonata comunità islamica. Questa edizione del Corano, lasciata in eredità dal maggior islamista italiano Alessandro Bausani, rimane un costante punto di riferimento a più di quarant’anni di distanza dalla sua prima apparizione: qui, riproposta con revisioni e aggiornamenti, si avvale di tutta la scientificità e complessità degli studi contemporanei per garantire al lettore la più adeguata conoscenza dell’Islàm e del suo Corano.

In Sinu Jesu: When Heart Speaks to Heart -- The Journal of a Priest at Prayer

Anonymous Anonymous

In 2007, Our Lord and Our Lady began to speak to the heart of a monk in the silence of adoration... He was prompted to write down what he received, and thus was born In Sinu Jesu , whose pages shine with an intense luminosity and heart-warming fervor that speaks directly to the inner and outer needs of our time with a unique power to console and challenge. The pages of this remarkable record of spiritual communication range across, and plunge into, many fundamental aspects of the spiritual loving and being loved by God; the practice of prayer in all its dimensions; the unique power of Eucharistic adoration; trustful surrender to divine providence; the homage of silence; the dignity of liturgical prayer and the sacraments; the mystery of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; priestly identity and apostolic fruitfulness; the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the saints in our lives; sin, woundedness, mercy, healing, and purification; the longing for heaven and the longed-for renewal of the Catholic Church on earth. Given the harmony of its content with the teaching of Sacred Scripture, Catholic Tradition, and well-known works of the mystics, it is eminently fitting that In Sinu Jesu be published in full at this time (it has been granted the imprimatur). Passages from this journal have already influenced the spiritual lives of priests, religious, and laymen—may it now give light and warmth, consolation and renewed conviction, to readers throughout the world. “ In Sinu Jesu recounts the graces experienced in the life of one priest through the healing and strengthening power of Eucharistic adoration. At the same time, it issues an urgent call to all priests—and, indeed, to all Christians—to be renewed in holiness through adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament and consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces.”— HIS EMINENCE RAYMOND LEO CARDINAL BURKE , Patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta “Deep consolation and a renewed gratitude for Him as He draws His friends to Himself—these are the fruits of following the meditations of this book. It will fill hearts with encouragement and joy.”— FR. HUGH BARBOUR , O.Praem., Prior, St. Michael’s Abbey of the Norbertine Fathers “The words spoken here bring such comfort, courage, and light—a longing to be with the Lord, gazing upon and adoring His Eucharistic Face and offering ourselves and our lives in reparation for sins against Love.”— FR. DAVID ABERNETHY C.O., Congregation of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri, Pittsburgh “ In Sinu Jesu has the power to inflame the desire for Eucharistic adoration. It is a powerful expression of Our Lord’s thirst to draw us deeper into His friendship, to heal wounds, and thus to renew the Church.”— FR. JOACHIM SCHWARZMÜLLER , Krefeld, Germany “ In Sinu Jesu is a beautiful and powerful work saturated with the kind of contagious love and holiness that can only come from reclining—like His beloved disciple—upon Christ’s breast, hearing Him whisper words of consolation and encouragement for us all.” — KEVIN VOST , Psy.D., author of The Porch and the Cross “We sometimes dismiss the interior voice, thinking that because it is within, it must be our own. But does God not dwell deep within us? Can he not speak, then, to the heart? This listener has heard Christ invite priests and all the faithful, back to the Sacrament of Love.”— DAVID W. FAGERBERG , University of Notre Dame, author of Consecrating the World

This keepsake hard cover edition of The Epistle of JUDE was taken from the King James translation of the Bible. The King James Translation is a masterwork of style, and the most important book in the English language, it has been the driving force in shaping the English-speaking world for hundreds of years. Jude urges his readers to defend the deposit of Christ’s doctrine that had been closed by the time he wrote his epistle, and to remember the words of the apostles spoken somewhat before. Jude then asks the reader to recall how even after the Lord saved his own people out of the land of Egypt, he did not hesitate to destroy those who fell into unbelief, much as he punished the angels who fell from their original exalted status and Sodom and Gomorrah. JUDE is one of the shortest books in the bible and is sold at or near the publisher’s cost and offered up for the collector who wished to have an unbroken set of this keepsake editions.

König Rother: mittelhochdeutscher Text und neuhochdeutsche Übersetzung

Anonymous Anonymous

"Der" -- König Rother ist zwar bereits mehrfach ins Neuhochdeutsche und auch Englische übersetzt worden, doch handelt es sich dabei entweder um Nacherzählungen oder Übersetzungen, die sich auf die älteren, heute nicht mehr ganz anerkannten Editionen stützten. Der Salzburger Germanist Peter K. Stein bemühte sich deswegen sowohl um eine Neuausgabe des Originals als auch um eine darauf aufbauende Übersetzung, die er jedoch nicht mehr abschließen konnte, weil er am 2. Januar 1997 verstarb. Um seine langjährigen Anstrengungen nicht verloren gehen zu lassen und zugleich um ein wichtiges Desiderat in der mediävistischen Germanistik zu füllen, hat seine Kollegin Ingrid Bennewitz die Mühe auf sich genommen, die Arbeit zum Abschluss zu bringen. Dass der" -- König Rother zu den wichtigen Werken der vorhöfischen Dichtung gehört, braucht hier nicht eigens betont zu werden, während wir doch explizit berücksichtigen müssen, dass eine neue kritische Ausgabe des Textes schon lange als notwendig angesehen wird. "Wie bei allen Reclam-Ausgaben und Übersetzungen üblich, folgen dann noch ein sehr nützlicher, ja geradezu notwendiger Stellenkommentar, in dem viele weiterhin recht dunkle Stellen ausgedeutet oder erklärt werden, sowie eine Bibliographie. Man darf den Herausgebern ohne weiteres die Anerkennung aussprechen, eine den heutigen Editionsprinzipien entsprechende Ausgabe erstellt und eine im großen und ganzen zufriedenstellende nhd. Übersetzung geboten zu haben. Damit steht uns nun auch der" -- König Rother mehr oder weniger mühelos für den akademischen Unterricht bereit." -- Mediaevistik " (Die Ausgabe) erleichtert die Lesbarkeit durch Einfügen moderner Interpunktion, Großschreibung der Eigennamen und vorsichtige Normalisierung der Graphie. Auf der anderen Seite wird die Kontrollierbarkeit der editorischen Eingriffe garantiert. Alle Abweichungen von der Handschrift werden durch Kursivierung kenntlich gemacht und im Apparat kenntlich gemacht. Dieser bietet außerdem ggf. Varianten der Fragmente und Besserungsvorschläge früherer Herausgeber. Entstanden ist auf diese Weise eine zuverlässige Ausgabe, mit der man arbeiten kann. "Die Übersetzung ist gut zu lesen. Sie ist bemüht, dem Mittelhochdeutschen möglichst nahe zu bleiben, und nimmt sich doch die Freiheiten, die für das Zustandekommen eines glatten nhd. Textes unverzichtbar sind." -- Zeitschrift für deutsches Altertum und deutsche Literatur "Mit der lange erwarteten Neuausgabe des 'König Rother' von Peter K. Stein schließt sich nun eine der schwerwiegendsten Lücken im Kanon mittelhochdeutscher Dichtung in moderner Edition. Nach dem Tod Steins nahm Ingrid Bennewitz sich mit zwei Mitarbeiterinnen der Vorarbeiten an ... Sie brachten die Ausgabe ... zur Druckreife, so dass nun ein zentraler Text der frühhöfischen Epoche als moderne Edition mit einer gut lesbaren Übersetzung und einem umfassenden Kommentar für eine intensive Auseinandersetzung zur Verfügung steht." -- Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen

La canción de Rolando

Anonymous Anonymous

«La Canción de Rolando» («La Chanson de Roland») es un poema épico de varios miles de versos, escrito a finales del siglo XI en francés antiguo, atribuido a un monje normando, Turoldo, cuyo nombre aparece en el último y enigmático verso: «Ci falt la geste que Turoldus declinet». Sin embargo, no queda claro el significado de declinar en este verso: puede querer decir «componer» o quizás «transcribir», copiar. Es el cantar de gesta más antiguo de Europa. El texto del llamado «Manuscrito de Oxford» escrito en anglo-normando (de alrededor de 1170) consta de 4002 versos decasílabos, distribuidos en 291 estrofas de desigual longitud. La presente traducción ha sido realizada sobre el texto publicado según el manuscrito de Oxford y vertido (al francés moderno) por Joseph Bédier.

Lady Fuckingham

Lady Fuckingham je pornografické dílo, jehož autor není dodnes známý. Vymyšlené spekulace tvrdí, že ji napsal Oscar Wilde, ale žádný zahraniční zdroj to neuvádí. Wilde měl povídku údajně napsat jako svou prozaickou prvotinu pod pseudonymem Sebastian Melmoth. Povídka vyšla v časopise The Pearl, A Magazine of Facetiae and Volupous Reading (v předmluvě českého překladu místo 'Magazine' psáno 'Journal'), který skutečně vycházel v letech 1879 až 1880, na pokračování pod názvem Lady Pokingham (což česká předmluva neuvádí)... Nicméně, spekulace o autorství Oscara Wilda je čistě spekulativní a nezakládá se na žádné skutečnosti.

La epopeya de Gilgamesh

Anonymous Anonymous

El relato mítico del rey Gilgamesh, símbolo de la lucha eterna del hombre contra el miedo a la muerte. «Que el cruce de caminos sea el lugar donde moras.» Los fragmentos más antiguos que se conservan de La epopeya de Gilgamesh son obra de un poeta paleobabilónico que escribió hace más de tres mil setecientos años. Fue compuesta en lengua acadia, pero sus orígenes literarios se remontan a cinco poemas sumerios. En ella se cuenta la historia de Gilgamesh, el gran rey de Uruk, sus encuentros con monstruos y dioses, su enfrentamiento y posterior amistad con Enkidu el salvaje, el nacido en las tierras altas, y su arduo viaje en busca del secreto de la inmortalidad. Además de abordar temas como la familia, la amistad o los deberes del rey, La epopeya de Gilgamesh versa, sobre todo, de la lucha eterna del hombre contra el miedo a la muerte. La versión de Andrew George -la de referencia en el mundo occidental- la introducen palabras muy sabias de José Luis Sampedro. Como cierre, un epílogo sobre la pervivencia del mito realizado por los profesores de comunicación audiovisual de la Universidad Pompeu Fabra Jordi Balló y Xavier Pérez. Jorge Luis Borges dijo... «Tal vez no solo cronológicamente es la primera de las epopeyas del mundo. Diríase que todo ya está en este libro babilónico.»

La Farce de Maître Pathelin

Un filou, qui se dit avocat, ne gagne plus rien. Il lui faut de l'étoffe pour remplacer ses habits usés jusqu'à la corde. Il se fait fort d'en rapporter sans rien débourser. La Farce de Maître Pathelin, écrite au XVe siècle, met en place une belle mécanique comique dont le succès depuis cinq siècles ne s'est pas démenti. Le rire se déploie au rythme d'un ballet de ruses sans cesse renouvelées : flatterie éhontée, délire verbal, jeu de langage, invention de stratagèmes toujours plus ingénieux… Chacun cherche à tromper l'autre. Qui l'emportera? Maître Pathelin le beau parleur? Guillaume le marchant benêt? Le naïf Thibaut l'Agnelet, berger de son état?

Un universo exótico y exuberante repleto de sultanes, genios y princesas, donde personajes tan memorables como Sherezade, Simbad o Aladino corren apasionantes aventuras.

Un segundo tomo de la colección (Historias de Sherezade) recoge otras de estas maravillosas narraciones.

Laxdæla Saga

Anonymous Anonymous

Come scrive Borges, è nelle saghe islandesi che nasce il romanzo moderno, in quel mondo di eroismi, intrighi, epiche famigliari e vicende intime. E fra tutte la Laxdæla saga occupa un posto di assoluto rilievo per la bellezza poetica e le passioni che rappresenta. Coprendo 150 anni, narra le tormentate sorti di un clan norvegese che alla fine del IX secolo è il primo colonizzatore dell'Islanda dell'ovest, la valle del Laxá, il Fiume dei Salmoni, restituendoci un potente affresco del Medioevo vichingo in un'età di transizione, quando il cristianesimo fa breccia nell'antico universo pagano. Ma questa saga deve la sua speciale fama e unicità anche al ruolo dominante che hanno le donne: la grande matriarca Unnr, che conduce la famiglia dalla Scozia alle Orcadi alle Faroe prima di prendersi la sua terra sul suolo islandese; la schiava Melkorka, che si finge muta per non rivelare al padrone e amante di essere la figlia di un re d’Irlanda; e soprattutto Gudrún, “la donna più bella che fosse mai nata in terra d'Islanda”, fiera, passionale, femme fatale e "femminista", una delle eroine più popolari e affascinanti delle antiche saghe. Protagonista di un dramma di amore e vendetta che porterà Kjartan e Bolli, amici fraterni, a combattersi fino alla morte, Gudrún si chiuderà in una dolorosa e algida solitudine, finendo i suoi giorni come suora eremita.

Lazarilho de Tormes

Anonymous Anonymous

Narrativa anônima do século XVI, Lazarilho de Tormes constitui um marco no panorama da literatura universal. Inovador em numerosos aspectos, é uma das raízes do romance como gênero e, além disto, o fundador da picaresca espanhola. Divertida e por vezes comovente, a história do garoto Lázaro e das inúmeras artimanhas a que recorre em sua luta pela sobrevivência possui também, por trás de sua aparente simplicidade, um alto teor de crítica social, o que faria com que, poucos anos depois de seu surgimento, o livro fosse proibido pela Inquisição. Embora se conservassem exemplares de três edições de 1554, a versão original nunca foi encontrada. Em 1992, porém, descobriu-se, escondida atrás de uma parede falsa de uma casa em Barcarrota, na Espanha, uma outra edição de 1554, impressa em Medina del Campo, e logo considerada por alguns especialistas como a que mais se aproximaria da princeps. Foi este texto, desconhecido durante séculos, que serviu de base para a presente edição - bilíngue, acompanhada de notas e estudo crítico — de Lazarilho de Tormes.

Lazarillo de Tormes

Anonymous Anonymous

Cuando se publicó por primera vez, el Lazarillo no se presentaba como una obra de imaginación, sino como si fuera el relato auténtico de un real Lázaro de Tormes (por eso no podía llevar otra firma que el nombre del protagonista). Con tal mistificación creaba un tipo de ficción hasta entonces desconocido y se constituía en principio absoluto de la novela moderna. Además de estudiar ese aspecto fundamental histórica y literariamente, la "nueva edición" de Francisco Rico reexamina los grandes problemas del "Lazarillo" a la luz de nuevos materiales e investigaciones; ofrece el texto más fiel a la voluntad del autor; y, a través de una anotación exhaustiva, sitúa la novela en el contexto de la vida y la literatura de la época, resolviendo una por una todas las dudas que la lectura puede suscitar.

A partire dall'irresistibile Shahrazad, la figlia del visir che riesce a conquistare il cuore indurito del re persiano Shahriyar narrandogli ogni notte una nuova storia: accompagnati dalla sua voce, davanti a noi si stagliano le onde dell'Oceano Indiano in cui naviga Sindbad il marinaio e si avverano gli incantesimi della lampada di Aladino; si svolgono gare di astuzia tra poveri pescatori e geni della bottiglia e si aprono le porte di case abitate da ammalianti dame dal misterioso passato. Tra suq affollati, sfarzose dimore e paesaggi sconfinati, prende così vita un mondo magico e seducente a cui i tratti sinuosi e incantati delle illustrazioni di Edmund Dulac che arricchiscono questa edizione danno corpo e colore.

Full of dreams, strange prophecies, violent power struggles, and fragile peace agreements, Njal's Saga tells the compelling story of a fifty-year blood feud that, despite its distance from us in time and place, is driven by passions familiar to us all.

Misterioso, poderoso e comovente, o livro dos mortos do antigo egito é um dos textos mais antigos e mais influentes de toda a história. é composto de uma combinação de orações, feitiços e discursos que os antigos egípcios enterravam com seus mortos, com o objetivo de ajudar os falecidos em sua “jornada” para a vida após a morte. Esta edição contém imagens do requintado papiro de ani – um antigo escriba egípcio – em sua totalidade. Meticulosamente inscrito com hieróglifos e ilustrações dos rituais da vida após a morte, o papiro é mostrado com tradução do aclamado egiptólogo e. A. Wallis budge. O livro dos mortos do antigo egito é o livro da vida. Fala, na verdade, sobre a vida agora, a vida no futuro e a vida eterna. As estradas, os caminhos, os portais, as horas, as leis e os guardiões da vida após a morte aqui são explicados em detalhes. Este é o único registro vivo de um mistério duplo: o mistério da vida e o mistério da morte.

O MIE ŞI UNA DE NOPŢI este o încântătoarea colecţie de povestiri arabe, care a fascinat şi continuă să fascineze cititorii din lumea întreagă. Povestirea-cadru sau „în ramă“ din O mie şi una de nopţi este cea a regelui Şahriar care, înşelat de soţia sa, se hotărăşte să-şi decapiteze următoarele neveste, până când Şeherezada, înţeleapta fiică a vizirului, îl fascinează cu poveştile sale timp de o mie şi una de nopţi. Tipărită într-o ediţie de lux, traducerea integrală în 15 volume, aparţinând poetului şi traducătorului Haralambie Grămescu, este cea mai nouă variantă, rezultată în urma confruntării a trei ediţii: franceză (J. C. Mardrus), rusă (M. A. Salie) şi germană (Max Henning). Aceasta redă cu fidelitate textul original, inclusiv scenele de erotism şi cele de cruzime, pe care alţii s-au sfiit să le redea în limba română, răpind din autenticitatea şi din frumuseţea tezaurului de literatură orientală. La sfârşitul povestirii din cea de-a o mie şi una noapte, sultanul Şahriar îi spune Şeherezadei: „Tot ascultându-te de-a lungul acestor o mie şi una de nopţi, ies cu un suflet adânc schimbat, şi voios, şi îmbibat de bucuria de a trăi.“

Pistis Sophia: A Gnostic Gospel

Anonymous Anonymous

Pistis Sophia: A Gnostic Gospel, translated by G.R.S. Mead. The Gnostics were composed of a number of early Christian mystical sects. Their teachers were persecuted and documents destroyed because the Church desired a uniform set of beliefs to operate under. Only now have we begun to better appreciate these early Christian mystics. Pistis Sophia was the most important Gnostic document until the discovery and publication of The Nag Hammadi Library. This work remains an important milestone in Gnostic research, on par with Nag Hammadi, and should be part of any serious study. It is the story of how we, as spiritual beings, have fallen into the world of physical creation. The soul is asleep here, bogged down in physical surroundings, unaware of its true nature. The purpose of this gospel is to awaken us, and aid in the process of spiritual freedom.

Poema épico, se trata del texto más representativo del arte de los juglares españoles de la Edad Media. El poema fue probablemente compuesto entre 1110-1140, no mucho después de los hechos a los que se refiere. El poema, dividido en tres partes o cantares, narra el destierro y las aventuras del Cid, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. El tema del deshonor y la recuperación de la honra constituyen el eje central de la obra, que describe la mentalidad y los valores éticos de la época. Muchos de los personajes y hechos que muestra están atestiguados, lo cual le confiere un gran valor histórico.

Popol Vuh, the Quiché Mayan book of creation, is not only the most important text in the native languages of the Americas, it is also an extraordinary document of the human imagination. It begins with the deeds of Mayan gods in the darkness of a primeval sea and ends with the radiant splendor of the Mayan lords who founded the Quiché kingdom in the Guatemalan highlands. Originally written in Mayan hieroglyphs, it was transcribed into the Roman alphabet in the sixteenth century. This new edition of Dennis Tedlock's unabridged, widely praised translation includes new notes and commentary, newly translated passages, newly deciphered hieroglyphs, and over forty new illustrations.

Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics

Anonymous Anonymous

The famous -- or infamous -- roman a clef about the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign. You've read the hype; now read the book. Primary Colors has its rich rewards as a savvy insider's look at life on the stump. But it travels far beyond mere gossip and expose and discovers a convincing world of its own, peopled by smart cookies, nutcases, and wheeler-dealers, whose public and private lives illuminate each other -- sometimes by casting dark shadows. This story spans the novelistic spectrum from bedroom farce to high moral drama, and it paints a picture of the political state of the nation so vivid and authentic that one finds in it the deepest kind of truth -- the kind of truth that only fiction can tell.

Psalms (Bible, #19)

"In this rendering, the Psalms become once again what they were for Christian believers from the very beginning: the hymnal of the Church. They remain, certainly, the songs of Israel: from its cries of lamentation to its shouts of exultation. But for the Christian reader, they become as well hymns of petition and praise that express both the joy and the longing of those who live 'in Christ' . . . At the same time their very language can convey to us the assurance that, as he has throughout the millennia, God hears our prayer and responds to it with boundless mercy, love, and compassion."--from the Preface by Fr. John Breck Professor Sheehan's brief introductory exposition of the Davidic roots of Psalms and the poetics of chiasmus guides us in understanding how the ruining oppositions of actual experience are held in Psalms within the musical disciplines of lyric art: held, until God Himself can be seen in the ruins: seen, and felt, and overwhelmingly and gratefully loved. The psalmist's world doesn't change as he turns his experience toward God. What changes is he himself. How he changes is toward acquiring the very mind of Christ, to which each of us is called.

Rabinal Achi: A Mayan Drama of War and Sacrifice

Anonymous Anonymous

Here is one of the most important surviving works of pre-Columbian civilization, Rabinal Achi , a Mayan drama set a century before the arrival of the Spanish, produced by the translator of the best selling Popol Vuh . The first direct translation into English from Quiché Maya, based on the original text, Rabinal Achi is the story of city-states, war, and nobility, of diplomacy, mysticism, and psychic journeys. Dennis Tedlock's translation is clear and vivid; more than that, it is rooted in an understanding of how the play is actually performed. Despite being banned for centuries by Spanish authorities, it survived in actual practice, and is still performed in the town of Rabinal today. Tedlock provides an introduction and commentary that explain the historical events compressed into the play, the Spanish influence on the Mayan dramatic tradition, and the cultural and religious world preserved in this remarkable play.

Revelations of a Spirit Medium

Anonymous Anonymous

This Amazon Kindle eBook is a carefully put together near-exact reproduction of the original edition of the title published in 1891 to expose spiritist frauds. This edition excludes all editorial comments, notes and noises that had come to be associated with some editions for nearly a century. In consequence the author's voice can be heard crystal clear once again. It does not assume or attribute authorship to any specific person or persons based on surmise but acknowledges that the book was anonymously written. The author exposes the methods employed by "mediums" like himself to defraud trusting human beings and avows his retirement from the vocation. While Harry Houdini was careful not to reveal many secrets he knew, this author tells all. In doing so he not only upsets the miserable work of many a charlatan, he also details the methods employed by honest prestidigitators. The author wrote that he would probably bring down on his head the curses of many hundreds of "mediums", for, if this work were very widely read, there would be few "mediums" save the lecturers who could do business, with any degree of safety from exposure. But in fact, when this book was first published in 1891, in print, spiritists and fraudulent mediums burnt every single copy of it they thought existed and went as far as to destroy the printing plates. They did fail to annihilate it though and copies resurfaced years after the book was branded "lost". Now that it has been carefully digitized and reillustrated it is hoped that the title will gain immortality as well as educate and entertain. The author does not wish to be understood as maintaining that there is nothing in spiritualism. Do not despair, he writes, for you will find in the chaff that is so plentiful some good grains. That one does not find it does not signify none ever will. And that this book should not stop anyone from investigating spiritualism, but they should continue their investigations with the book in a convenient pocket. He merely hopes that he has so fully explained the tricks employed by the frauds that they will find it a hard matter to capture your silver, and if you are ever "nailed to the cross" as they called it behind the backs of their dupes, it would be through means other than those used by the gentry treated of. He phantasizes that he will live again and if he live again he is sure others will, and it is probable that he will meet the friends that have preceded him, and it is more than likely he will be able to see and visit his friends on earth. But if he can return to earth and visit those he loved, he is positive he will NOT do so by performing feats with heated lamp chimneys, or by controlling a lecturer and attempting to deliver an impressive oration in the language of a coal heaver. He would not attempt to return through a "medium" through whom a sixty-eight-year-old Indian "control" converses to an audience like a prattling child. Nor does he believe that he or any other spirit can or would return through the organism of any other depraved arbiter. It is not at all probable, either, that he would go into the business of materializing lace for entertainment at a dollar a head, although he is familiar with the methods employed in that manifestation. No religion so satisfactory nor so reasonable and just in its teachings, to the writer's best understanding, but his own career and the fact that he met no professional "medium", male or female, in his long experience and extensive travels, who were not "crooked", leads him to conclude that from the professional you are to expect nothing of any value whatsoever. He urges the reader to investigate spiritualism for it will do no harm, but not through the professional "medium". He cautions against setting out with the intention of getting rich in worldly goods through their aid, attempting to find buried treasures, pots of gold, mines of silver or in fact anything one can better attend to personally …

Rozmowa mistrza Polikarpa ze Śmiercią

Anonymous Anonymous

Dialog mistrza Polikarpa ze Śmiercią to najdłuższy zachowany średniowieczny wiersz polski. Stanowi realizację charakterystycznych dla epoki motywów: mówi o marności dóbr doczesnych, ich nieuchronnej przemijalności (vanitas) oraz o powszechnym zrównaniu ludzi różnych stanów, obu płci, zamożnych i biednych w obliczu śmierci, która wszystkich weźmie do swej „szkoły”, zaprosi do ostatniego tańca (Danse macabre). Jednocześnie utwór ma wymowę satyryczną. Wykorzystując gatunek tradycyjny dla rozważań filozoficznych (dialog), szydzi z niemocy ludzkiego rozumu, w duchu plebejskim naśmiewa się z uczonego magistra, który śmierci boi się jak każdy głupiec i drży przed nią niczym żak przed najsroższym nauczycielem. Satyra społeczna, bardzo wyraźnie zarysowana, dotyczy różnych stanów, szczególnie jednak godzi swym ostrzem w sędziów (grożąc demaskacją ich niesprawiedliwych czynów i pomstą za nie na Sądzie Ostatecznym) oraz duchowieństwo (potępia zarówno opasłych plebanów, jak rozkiełznanych mnichów, łamiących swe śluby). Utwór, datowany na lata 1463–1465, powstał w oparciu o pisany prozą wzór łaciński pt. Dialogus magistri Polycarpi cum morte. Staropolszczyzna tekstu zawiera dialektyzmy mazowieckie. Rękopis, znajdujący się w Bibliotece Seminaryjnej w Płocku, zaginął w czasie II wojny światowej. Szczęśliwie w 1904 r. opublikowany został odpis sporządzony przez Jana Rozwadowskiego, językoznawcy, profesora UJ, będący podstawą dalszych wydań.

Saga di Egill il Monco

Anonymous Anonymous

C'era un re che regnava a est, in Russia, e aveva due figlie buone e belle, che amava teneramente. Ma un triste giorno una venne rapita da un mostruoso animale uscito dal bosco e, poco tempo dopo, anche l'altra fu portata via da un gigantesco avvoltoio comparso improvvisamente in cielo. Il re, profondamente addolorato, promise una figlia in sposa e un terzo del suo regno a chi fosse riuscito a ritrovare le fanciulle. Così comincia la Saga di Egill il monco. Scritta agli inizi del XIV secolo, fa parte delle cosiddette "saghe del tempo antico", una fase più tarda del genere, quando motivi fiabeschi ed esotici, elementi cavallereschi e cortesi, il gusto del meraviglioso, dell'artificio letterario irrompono nelle tradizioni del racconto locale, mutandone profondamente lo spirito. La cronologia è sostituita da un tempo in cui generazioni ed epoche diverse si sovrappongono e si confondono, terre note e paesi leggendari si affiancano in un comune spazio mitico. Ancora vige il codice d'onore vichingo, la gloria conquistata con le armi, le lotte sanguinose, ma gli eroi, pur animati da un indomito desiderio di misurare il proprio valore, non partono più alla conquista di regni e ricchezze, alla fondazione di città, partono per liberare principesse prigioniere, spinti dall'amicizia, dal gusto dell'avventura. Tappeti volanti, erbe miracolose, specchi magici vengono usati quanto le spade, giganti, nani, uomini e dei si alleano e si combattono, ma non è più il fato che regge inesorabile la fila delle vicende e dei destini: siamo entrati nel mondo del lieto fine, in cui le buone azioni vengono premiate, le mani tagliate vengono riattaccate, le principesse salvate, la giustizia ristabilita. Raffinata e complessa, la narrazione si arricchisce di archetipi della fiaba, si fa letteratura consapevolmente nutrita di se stessa, allontanandosi volutamente dalla vita.

Sweeney Todd: Il diabolico barbiere di Fleet Street

Anonymous Anonymous

Tra i segreti più paurosi di Londra si nasconde la storia di un misterioso assassino. Un uomo crudele e spietato di nome Sweeney Todd, un mostro capace di occultare le sue insane passioni dietro l'apparenza di una persona rispettabile e l'insegna di un'innocua bottega di barbiere in Fleet Street. Proprio qui diverse persone scomparse sono state viste per l'ultima volta: uomini e donne andati a ingrossare le fila dei fantasmi dopo aver incontrato Sweeney Todd e il suo rasoio micidiale. Più crudele di Jack lo squartatore e più folle di Mr. Hyde, Sweeney Todd non uccide in preda a un impulso efferato o agli effetti indesiderati di un farmaco velenoso ma, con fredda determinazione, toglie la vita al prossimo per soddisfare la sua sete di sangue e per adempiere a un terrificante rituale: dopo aver smembrato il corpo delle vittime a colpi di rasoio, il barbiere di Fleet Street consegna i resti di chi ha ucciso alla sua amante che provvede a farne gli ingredienti principali di dolci prelibati. Capolavoro della letteratura gotica, "Sweeney Todd, con le sue gesta sanguinarie, ha anticipato il "Dracula" di Stocker e il "Frankestein" di Mary Shelley, aggredendo le ipocrite convenzioni della letteratura e della società vittoriana.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Anonymous Anonymous

A sensational story of murder and pie-making, Sweeney Todd is a classic of British horror writing, widely adapted in print and on stage, most famously by Stephen Sondheim, whose unlikely "musical thriller" won eight Tony awards. This edition offers the original story with all its atmospheric Victorian trimmings. The story of Todd's murderous partnership with pie-maker Margery Lovett--at once inconceivably unpalatable and undeniably compelling--has subsequently set the table for a seemingly endless series of successful dramatic adaptations, popular songs and ballads, novellas, radio plays, graphic novels, ballets, films, and musicals. Both gleeful and ghoulish, the original tale of Sweeney Todd, first published under the title The String of Pearls, combines the story of Todd's grisly method of robbing and dispatching his victims--by way of Mrs. Lovett's meat pies--with a romantic sub-plot involving deception, disguise, and detective work, set against the backdrop of London's dark and unsavory streets. Editor Robert Mack 'fleshes' out the story with a fascinating introduction touching on the origins of the tale, the growth of the legend, and a history of its many retellings. Mack also includes explanatory notes that point out interesting aspects, plus a full chronology of the many versions of Sweeney Todd. Since Sweeney Todd first entered the public imagination in the mid-nineteenth-century, his exploits have chilled and fascinated audiences around the world. This new edition allows modern readers to savor the ghastly original in all its gruesome glory.

Sweeney Todd - The String of Pearls

Anonymous Anonymous

The exploits of Sweeney Todd, 'The Demon Barber of Fleet Street', have been recounted many times in plays, films and musicals, but the origins of the character largely were forgotten for many years. The String of Pearls - the original tale of Sweeney Todd, a classic of British horror - was first published as a weekly serial in 1846-7 by Edward Lloyd, the King of the Penny Dreadfuls. One of the earliest detective stories, it became an important source for Bram Stoker's Dracula, but it was after over 150 years of obscurity that it appeared first in book form in the Wordsworth edition published in 2005. The one great mystery that has surrounded the book is who the author was - or was it possibly the work of more than one man? In his new introduction to this fully revised second edition, Dick Collins, by means of detailed research of contemporary records, has established finally the identity of the creator of this legendary figure. So here is the original story of the terrifying owner of that famous London barber-shop, and the secret recipe for Mrs Lovett's delicious pies... (Alternate cover for ISBN 9781840226324)

Tales from 1,001 Nights: Aladdin, Ali Baba and Other Favourites (A Penguin Classics Hardcover)

Anonymous Anonymous

Every night for three years the vengeful King Shahriyar sleeps with a different virgin, executing her next morning. To end this brutal pattern and to save her own life, the vizier's daughter, Shahrazad, begins to tell the king tales of adventure, love, riches and wonder - tales of mystical lands peopled with princes and hunchbacks, the Angel of Death and magical spirits, tales of the voyages of Sindbad, of Ali Baba's outwitting a band of forty thieves and of jinnis trapped in rings and in lamps. The sequence of stories will last 1,001 nights.

Tales From the 1001 Nights

Anonymous Anonymous

During ancient times, a king discovers that his wife is unfaithful. He executes her and her lover, and to ensure that he is never again betrayed, he takes a new wife each night and kills her in the morning. Eventually, he takes as his bride for the night a young woman who tells him a story that lasts all night long. When morning comes and she is to be killed, the story is not finished, and the king allows her to live through the following night so that he can hear how the story comes out. Of course, the story doesn't end the next night either, or the next night, or the next, until 1001 nights have passed, and the king decides to let her live and make her his queen. These are the stories of Ali Baba and the forty thieves, Aladdin and his magic lamp, and Sinbad the sailor - stories of flying carpets, gigantic birds, and mischievous genies - stories that have captured the Western imagination for hundreds of years. Compiled in the Middle Ages, The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night is the chief glory of Arabic literature.

Tales From The Arabian Nights

Anonymous Anonymous

The tales told by Shahrazad over a thousand and one nights to delay her execution by the vengeful King Shahriyar have become among the most popular in both Eastern and Western literature. From the epic adventures of "Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp" to the farcical "Young Woman and her Five Lovers" and the social criticism of "The Tale of the Hunchback", the stories depict a fabulous world of all-powerful sorcerers, jinns imprisoned in bottles and enchanting princesses. But despite their imaginative extravagance, the Tales are anchored to everyday life by their realism, providing a full and intimate record of medieval Islam.

On the shrouded corpse hung a tablet of green topaz with the inscription: 'I am Shaddad the Great.

You who see me take heed: for Time is not to be trusted.'

Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures

Anonymous Anonymous

Read our customer guide Regarded throughout the English-speaking world as the standard English translation of the Holy Scriptures, the JPS TANAKH has been acclaimed by scholars, rabbis, lay leaders, Jews, and Christians alike. The JPS TANAKH is an entirely original translation of the Holy Scriptures into contemporary English, based on the Masoretic (the traditional Hebrew) text. It is the culmination of three decades of collaboration by academic scholars and rabbis, representing the three largest branches of organized Judaism in the United States. Not since the third century b.c.e., when 72 elders of the tribes of Israel created the Greek translation of Scriptures known as the Septuagint has such a broad-based committee of Jewish scholars produced a major Bible translation. In executing this monumental task, the translators made use of the entire range of biblical interpretation, ancient and modern, Jewish and non-Jewish. They drew upon the latest findings in linguistics and archaeology, as well as the work of early rabbinic and medieval commentators, grammarians, and philologians. The resulting text is a triumph of literary style and biblical scholarship, unsurpassed in accuracy and clarity. Ebook versions of this title may be purchased from most ebook vendors.

The Arabian Nights: The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night; Complete Edition

Anonymous Anonymous

The stories of The Arabian Nights (and stories within stories, and stories within stories within stories) are famously told by the Princess Shahrazad, under the threat of death should the king lose interest in her tale. Collected over the centuries from India, Persia, and Arabia, and ranging from adventure fantasies, vivacious erotica, and animal fables, to pointed Sufi tales, these stories provided the daily entertainment of the medieval Islamic world at the height of its glory. No one knows exactly when a given story originated, and many circulated orally for centuries before being written down; but in the process of telling and retelling, they were modified to reflect the general life and customs of the Arab society that adapted them—a distinctive synthesis that marks the cultural and artistic history of Islam.

The Book of Enoch (Ethiopian)

Anonymous Anonymous

Rife with concepts of original sin, fallen angels, demonology, resurrection, and the last judgment, The Book of Enoch is a vital document to the origins of Christianity. Today, it remains a written remnant of the Apocalypse — an ardent testament to hope and the triumph of good over evil in the dawning of a world to come. R. H. Charles provides a definitive translation of one of the most noted apocalyptic works still in existence. Often described as "the lost book" of the Bible , The Book of Enoch seems to have been written in Palestine by several different authors in the first and second centuries B.C. For hundreds of years it was accepted as scriptural canon by the early church fathers, but it was rejected by the council of Laodicea in A.D. 364 and is mostly excluded from Christian biblical canons. It is comprised of various monumental works : The Book of Enoch , which tells the story of fallen angels (the Watchers) taking human wives and breeding giants (Nephilim); The Book of Parables , which describes Enoch's journey through heaven and hell and the destiny of the fallen angels and kings of the earth; The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries (The Astronomical Book) , which explains the movement of heavenly bodies and predicts future events; The Dream Visions, The Concluding Section (The Epistle of Enoch) ; Enoch’s advice to his sons urging repentance and warns against sin , and The Noah Fragments . This edition provides a well-researched introduction placing The Book of Enoch in its historical context, highlighting its importance for scholars of religious history and early Christianity. With Charles's authoritative translation and insightful annotations, this edition sheds light on one of history's most enigmatic writings.

The Book of Jubilees

Anonymous Anonymous

This is a new (2011) easy-to-read translation by ancient languages scholar Dr. A. Nyland and is NOT one of the many century-old public domain translations NOR is it a reworded public domain version. The Book of Jubilees contains information additional to Genesis and early Exodus, and is the account from creation to the early times of Moses. The Book of Jubilees claims to be told to Moses by angels when he was on Mount Sinai. One of the Dead Sea Scrolls, The Damascus Document, states that the Book of Jubilees reveals divine secrets "to which Israel has turned a blind eye." The Essenes, a Jewish sect who lived from the 2nd c. BCE to the 1st c. ACE, coveted the Book of Jubilees and kept it in their library. Jubilees are seven "year-weeks," a year-week being a period of seven years, so a jubilee is 49 years. The Book of Jubilees is also known as The Little Genesis or The Apocalypse of Moses. This is an easy-to-read translation of The Book of Jubilees translated into contemporary English yet at the same time has full scholarly references.

The Claverhouse Emails v1.4

Anonymous Anonymous

It's been a few years now since I last heard from Claverhouse. He was always an enigmatic character, so I suppose it's fitting that he just sort of faded away into nothingness again. To be honest, I'd almost forgotten all about him until I was clearing out some old computer equipment and came across an old hard drive that was just gathering dust. I was curious as to what might be on it, so I hooked it up and had a look, and there, nestled in an obscure subdirectory, was a folder entitled "The Claverhouse Emails".I first encountered this peculiar and enigmatic character on some old internet forums and message boards that I became a regular on back when I was a student. I used to get into long and often quite heated discussions about psychology and philosophy – the two subjects I was most interested in at the time – and Claverhouse soon made his presence known. His opinions were very different from the norm, and his skewed yet uncompromising take on things often made for uncomfortable reading. Most people there seemed to regard him as a bit of a crank, and he was largely ignored, but I found him interesting (if not always comprehensible), and we eventually struck up a friendship of sorts. We exchanged email addresses, and part of what he sent me is included here as The Claverhouse Emails.Each email is a stand-alone story, usually around two thousand words long, which consists of a first-person narrative detailing an experience or situation explained by the protagonist. Although the stories were presented to me as truth, Claverhouse would never provide more details when questioned about either the identity of the teller or the content of the story itself. He always said that everything you need to know is there, in the person's own words. Claverhouse was also not forthcoming when it came to personal details about himself: although we corresponded for well over a year, I never found out his real name, where he lived or what his profession might have been. Just as with the emails themselves, he always said that those details were meaningless, and that the important thing was the stories themselves and what they could tell us about the darker extremes of human experience.Just how true these stories are I cannot say. I suspect there's a lot of embellishment in them, and maybe even some elements of pure fantasy. But Claverhouse was adamant that at their core they all illustrate a deeper, more universal truth: that the world is not the way you think it is.Ultimately I think it's best if readers make up their own minds about the stories and their murky origins. I present them here as they were presented to me, and I hope that you enjoy The Claverhouse Emails.This edition contains three stories, which for the purposes of this collection I have entitled Still Waters, The Sleep Clinic and The Tree House.

The Complete I Ching: The Definitive Translation

Anonymous Anonymous

The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is one of the 1st efforts of the human mind to place itself within the universe. It has exerted a living influence in China for 3000 years and interest in it has spread in the West. Set down in the dawn of history as a book of oracles, the Book of Changes deepened in meaning when ethical values were attached to the oracular pronouncements; it became a book of wisdom, eventually one of the Five Classics of Confucianism, and provided the common source for both Confucianist and Taoist philosophy. Wilhelm's rendering of the I Ching into German, published in 1924, presented it for the 1st time in a form intelligible to the general reader. Wilhelm, who translated many other ancient Chinese works and who wrote several books on Chinese philosophy and civilization, long resided in China. His close association with its cultural leaders gave him a unique understanding of the text of the I Ching. In the English translation, every effort has been made to preserve Wilhelm's pioneering insight into the spirit of the original. This 3rd edition, completely reset, contains a new forward by Hellmut Wilhelm, one of the most eminent American scholars of Chinese culture. He discusses his father's textual methods and summarizes recent studies of the I Ching both in the West and in present-day China. The new edition contains minor textual corrections, bibliographical revisions and an index.

The Dhammapada (Pāli; Prakrit: धम्मपद Dhammapada; Sanskrit: धर्मपद Dharmapada) is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. The original version of the Dhammapada is in the Khuddaka Nikaya, a division of the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism. The Buddhist scholar and commentator Buddhaghosa explains that each saying recorded in the collection was made on a different occasion in response to a unique situation that had arisen in the life of the Buddha and his monastic community. His commentary, the Dhammapada Atthakatha, presents the details of these events and is a rich source of legend for the life and times of the Buddha.

The Egyptian Book of the Dead

Anonymous Anonymous

The Egyptian Books of the Dead is unquestionably one of the most influential books in all of history. Embodying a ritual to be performed for the dead, with detailed instructions for the behavior of the disembodied spirit in the Land of the Gods, it served as the most important repository of religious authority for some three thousand years. Chapters were carved on the pyramids of the ancient 5th Dynasty, texts were written in papyrus, and selections were painted on mummy cases well into the Christian Era. In a certain sense it stood behind all Egyptian civilization. In the year 1888 Dr. E. Wallis Budge, then purchasing agent for the British Museum, followed rumors he heard of a spectacular archaeological find in Upper Egypt, and found in an 18th Dynasty tomb near Luxor "the largest roll of papyrus I had ever seen, tied with a thick band of papyrus, and in a perfect state of preservation." It was a copy of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, written around 1500 B.C. for Ani, Royal Scribe of Thebes, Overseer of the Granaries of the Lords of Abydos, and Scribe of the Offerings of the Lords of Thebes. The Papyrus of Ani, a full version of the Theban recension, is presented here by Dr. Budge, who later became perhaps the world's most renowned Egyptologist. Reproduced in full are a clear copy of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, and interlinear transliteration of their sounds (as reconstructed), a word-for-word translation, and separately a complete smooth translation. All this is preceded by an introduction of more than 150 pages. As a result of this multiple apparatus the reader has a unique opportunity to savor all aspects of the Book of the Dead, or as it is otherwise known, the Book of the Great Awakening.

Sir Gawain takes up the challenge, decapitating the stranger - only to see the Green Knight seize up his own severed head and ride away, leaving Gawain to seek him out and honour their pact. Blending Celtic myth and Christian faith, Gawain is among the greatest Middle English a tale of magic, chivalry and seduction.

The Holy Bible: King James Version

Anonymous Anonymous

Biblija ili Sveto pismo jest zbirka knjiga koje Hebreji i kršćani na svoj način smatraju svetima. Dijeli se u dva velika dijela: Stari i Novi zavjet. Kršćani Bibliju proučavaju kao svoju normativnu, za život smjerodavnu knjigu u kojoj oni nalaze poruku - riječ Božju. No, Biblija je uz to i spomenik historije čovječanstva, jedna od najstarijih knjiga, u kojoj je genij Hebreja na svoj način asimilirao i dalje obogatio razmišljanje i mudrost drevne Mezopotamije i Egipta, da je onda, obogaćenu grčkim genijem, po Novom zavjetu i daljnjem kršćanskom razmišljanju unese u tadašnji grčko-rimski svijet. Po postanku i jeziku, po sadržaju i stilu, po slikovitosti i metaforici, Biblija nije jedna knjiga, nego zbir knjiga koje su nastajale u razdoblju od 13. st. pr. Kr do 2. st. po Kr. Biblija je za kršćane sveta, inspirirana i kanonska knjiga. Za svakog čovjeka Biblija je istovremeno zbirka povijesnih isprava i književno djelo izvorne i neprolazne umjetničke snage. Ona pripada zajedničkoj kulturi čovječanstva. Stari zavjet u Bibliji Stvarnosti plod je mnogostruko udruženog rada hrvatskih bibličara i književnika. Kao polazišni tekst izabran je prijevod Antuna Sovića, s tim da je Petoknjižje preveo Silvije Grubišić, Psalme Filibert Gass, a Pjesmu nad pjesmama Nikola Miličević.

The Holy Quran: English Translation

Anonymous Anonymous

The Holy Qur'an (also known as The Koran) is the sacred book of Islam. It is the word of God whose truth was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel over a period of 23 years. As it was revealed, so it was committed to memory by his companions, though written copies were also made by literate believers during the lifetime of the Prophet. The first full compilation was by Abu Bakar, the first Caliph, and it was then recompiled in the original dialect by the third Caliph Uthman, after the best reciters had fallen in battle. Muslims believe that the truths of The Holy Qur'an are fully and authentically revealed only in the original classical Arabic. However, as the influence of Islam grows and spreads to the modern world, it is recognised that translation is an important element in introducing and explaining Islam to a wider audience.

Art lovers, spiritual seekers, and anyone entranced by The Perfection of Wisdom , Words of Paradise , and The Moon in the Pines will want to own The Katha Upanishad . One of India's most revered texts and part of the famous Hindu scriptures, the thousand-year-old Vedas, it tells the story of a young boy who compels the Lord of Death to reveal the secret of what happens after we die. There are, teaches The Katha Upanishad , two paths in life. One-that of the senses-leads to the world and all its pleasures. But since all material things must perish, it ends inevitably in death. The other path is "the way inward that leads to grace, "a spiritual journey toward immortality and joyous union with the universal Divine.

The Koran

Anonymous Anonymous

The Koran is a book apart, not only as Holy Scripture for Muslims, but as the supreme classic of Arabic literature. In its 114 Suras, or chapters, it comprises the total of revelations believed to have been communicated to the prophet Muhammad as a final expression of God's will and purpose for man. The revelations were received over a number of years, the first dating from AD 610, the last shortly before Muhammad's death in AD 632, and the definitive canon was established some twenty years later. The Koran is neither prose nor poetry but a unique fusion of both. In his attempt to convey the sublime rhetoric of the original, Professor Arberry has carefully studied the intricate and richly varied rhythms which - apart from the message itself - serve to explain the Koran's undeniable claim to rank among the greatest literary masterpieces of mankind.

The Life of Christina of Markyate

Anonymous Anonymous

'I wish to remain single, for I have made a vow of virginity.' This is the remarkable story of the twelfth-century recluse Christina, who became prioress of Markyate, near St Albans in Hertfordshire. Determined to devote her life to God and to remain a virgin, Christina repulses the sexual advances of the bishop of Durham. In revenge he arranges her betrothal to a young nobleman but Christina steadfastly refuses to consummate the marriage and defies her parents' cruel coercion. Sustained by visions, she finds refuge with the hermit Roger, and lives concealed at Markyate for four years, enduring terrible physical and emotional torment. Although Christina is supported by the abbot of St Albans, she never achieves the recognition that he intended for her. Written with striking candour by Christina's anonymous biographer, the vividness and compelling detail of this account make it a social document as much as a religious one. Christina's trials of the flesh and spirit exist against a backdrop of scheming and corruption and all-too-human greed.

The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes

Anonymous Anonymous

Spain has produced two books that changed world literature: Don Quixote and Lazarillo de Tormes, the first picaresque novel ever written and the inspired precursor to works as various as Vanity Fair and Huckleberry Finn. Banned by the Spanish Inquisition after publication in 1554, Lazarillo was soon translated throughout Europe, where it was widely copied. The book is a favorite to this day for its vigorous colloquial style and the earthy realism with which it exposes human hypocrisy. The bastard son of a prostitute, Lazarillo goes to work for a blind beggar, who beats and starves him, while teaching him some very useful dirty tricks. The boy then drifts in and out of the service of a succession of masters, each vividly sketched and together revealing the corrupt world of imperial Spain. Its miseries are made all the more apparent by the candor and surprising good cheer with which young Lazarillo recounts his ever more curious fate. This version of Lazarillo, by the prizewinning poet and translator W.S. Merwin, brings out the wonderful vitality and humor of this universal masterwork.

The Poem of the Cid: Dual Language Edition

Anonymous Anonymous

One of the finest of epic poems, and the only one to have survived from medieval Spain, The Poem of the Cid recounts the adventures of the warlord and nobleman Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar - 'Mio Cid'. A forceful combination of heroic fiction and historical fact, the tale seethes with the restless, adventurous spirit of Castille, telling of the Cid's unjust banishment from the court of King Alfonso, his victorious campaigns in Valencia, and the crowning of his daughters as queens of Aragon and Navarre - the high point of his career as a warmonger. An epic that sings of universal human values, this is one of the greatest of all works of Spanish literature.

The Poetic Edda: Stories of the Norse Gods and Heroes

Anonymous Anonymous

The Poetic Edda comprises a treasure trove of mythic and spiritual verse holding an important place in Nordic culture, literature, and heritage. Its tales of strife and death form a repository, in poetic form, of Norse mythology and heroic lore, embodying both the ethical views and the cultural life of the North during the late heathen and early Christian times. Collected by an unidentified Icelander, probably during the twelfth or thirteenth century, The Poetic Edda was rediscovered in Iceland in the seventeenth century by Danish scholars. Even then its value as poetry, as a source of historical information, and as a collection of entertaining stories was recognized. This meticulous translation succeeds in reproducing the verse patterns, the rhythm, the mood, and the dignity of the original in a revision that Scandinavian Studies says "may well grace anyone's bookshelf."

The Popol Vuh

In the beginning, the world is spoken into existence with one word: "Earth." There are no inhabitants, and no sun--only the broad sky, silent sea, and sovereign Framer and Shaper. Then come the twin heroes Hunahpu and Xbalanque. Wielding blowguns, they begin a journey to hell and back, ready to confront the folly of false deities as well as death itself, in service to the world and to humanity. This is the story of the Mayan Popol Vuh, "the book of the woven mat," one of the only epics indigenous to the Americas. Originally sung and chanted, before being translated into prose--and now, for the first time, translated back into verse by Michael Bazzett--this is a story of the generative power of language. A story that asks not only Where did you come from? but How might you live again? A story that, for the first time in English, lives fully as "the phonetic rendering of a living pulse."

The Qur'an: A New Translation

Anonymous Anonymous

The Qur'an is the supreme authority in Islam. It is the fundamental and paramount source of the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It is the book that ‘differentiates’ between right and wrong, so that nowadays, when the Muslim world is dealing with such universal issues as globalization, the environment, combating terrorism and drugs, issues of medical ethics, and feminism, evidence to support the various arguments is sought in the Qur'an. This supreme status stems from the belief that the Qur'an is the word of God, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad via the archangel Gabriel, and intended for all times and all places. The Qur'an was the starting point for all the Islamic sciences: Arabic grammar was developed to serve the Qur'an, the study of Arabic phonetics was pursued in order to determine the exact pronunciation of Qur'anic words, the science of Arabic rhetoric was developed in order to describe the features of the inimitable style of the Qur'an, the art of Arabic calligraphy was cultivated through writing down the Qur'an, the Qur'an is the basis of Islamic law and theology; indeed, as the celebrated fifteenth-century scholar and author Suyuti said, ‘Everything is based on the Qur'an’. The entire religious life of the Muslim world is built around the text of the Qur'an. As a consequence of the Qur'an, the Arabic language moved far beyond the Arabian peninsula, deeply penetrating many other languages within the Muslim lands––Persian, Turkish, Urdu, Indonesian, and others. The first sura (or section) of the Qur'an, al-Fatiha, which is an essential part of the ritual prayers, is learned and read in Arabic by Muslims in all parts of the world, and many other verses and phrases in Arabic are also incorporated into the lives of non-Arabic-speaking Muslims. Muslim children start to learn portions of the Qur'an by heart in their normal schooling: the tradition of learning the entire Qur'an by heart started during the lifetime of the Prophet and continues to the present day. A person attaining this distinction becomes known as a hafiz, and this is still a prerequisite for admission to certain religious schools in Muslim countries. Nowadays the Qur'an is recited a number of times daily on the radio and television in the Muslim world, and some Muslim countries devote a broadcasting channel for long hours daily exclusively to the recitation and study of the Qur'an. Muslims swear on the Qur'an for solemn oaths in the law-courts and in everyday life.

The Romance of Lust: A Classic Victorian erotic novel: Bestsellers and famous Books

Anonymous Anonymous

The Romance of Lust, or Early Experiences is a Victorian erotic novel written anonymously in four volumes during the years 1873–1876 and published by William Lazenby. The novel is told in first person, and the protagonist of the novel is Charlie Roberts. Charlie possesses a large penis, much virility, and a seemingly insatiable sexual appetite. The novel begins with "There were three of us — Mary, Eliza, and myself.” Charlie describes his sexual initiation as an adolescent — as he is "approaching fifteen”. He catalogs his sexual experiences including incest with his sisters Eliza and Mary, sex with his governesses, and his later sexual exploits with various male and female friends, and acquaintances. Besides incest, the book deals with a variety of sexual activities, including orgies, masturbation, lesbianism, flagellation, fellatio, cunnilingus, gay sex, anal sex, and double penetration. Taboo subjects such as homosexuality, incest, and pedophilia are common themes in the novel.

The Saga of Gisli the Outlaw

Anonymous Anonymous

The Saga of Gisli was written early in the thirteenth century. It offers an imaginative reconstruction of the story of a man and his family who came to Iceland from Norway about AD 960. Soon after 960 Gisli, the central figure, was outlawed for killing his brother-in-law, and then, for thirteen years or more, he lived in hiding in remote parts of the northwest of Iceland until he was finally caught and killed by his enemies. Around this imaginative core the author has spun a web of conflicting passions - love, hare and jealousy between man and wife, brother and sister, brother-in-law - intricate emotional bonds which are here seen ironically patterned against a background of inevitable fate. Gisli, the hero, is portrayed not only as a man of strength and courage, but also a poet and dreamer, tormented in his outlawry by nightmarish visions which seem gradualy to sap his will to resist. The author's probing into the emotional depths of his characters, the superbly effective architecture of his narrative leading to the central climax, his sense of the dramatic, and his cool, compelling style all combine to make this one of the most memorable of all the Icelandic sagas.

It tells of the explits of King Hrolf and of his famous champions, including Bodvar Bjarki, the 'bear-warrior': a powerful figure whose might and bear-like nature are inspired by the same legendary heritage as Beowulf. Depicting a world of wizards, sorceresses and 'beserker' fighters - originally members of a cult of Odin - this is a compelling tale of ancient magic. A work of timeless power and beauty, it offers both a treasury of Icelandic prose and a masterful gathering of epic, cultic memory, traditional folk tale and myth from the Viking age and far earlier.

Based on Viking Age poems, The Saga of the Volsungs combines mythology, legend and sheer human drama.

One of the great books of world literature, the saga is an unforgettable tale of princely jealousy, unrequited love, greed and vengeance. With its cursed treasure of the Rhine, sword reforged and magic ring of power, it was a major influence for writers including William Morris and J. R. R. Tolkien and for Wagner's Ring cycle.

Olympic-level athletes also reveal their freaky physiological regimes, odd genetic abnormalities and how the pressure-cooker of the Games can lead to resentment and fighting in the Olympic Village and some unusual coping techniques to stay focused on the competition.

The Summoning of Everyman

Anonymous Anonymous

"The Somonyng of Everyman (The Summoning of Everyman), usually referred to simply as Everyman, is a late 15th-century English morality play. Like John Bunyan's novel Pilgrim's Progress, Everyman examines the question of Christian salvation by use of allegorical characters, and what Man must do to attain it. The premise is that the good and evil deeds of one's life will be tallied by God after death, as in a ledger book. The play is the allegorical accounting of the life of Everyman, who represents all mankind. In the course of the action, Everyman tries to convince other characters to accompany him in the hope of improving his account. All the characters are also allegorical, each personifying an abstract idea such as Fellowship, (material) Goods, and Knowledge. The conflict between good and evil is dramatized by the interactions between characters."

The Tain (from the Irish epic Táin Bó Cuailnge)

Anonymous Anonymous

The Táin Bó Cuailnge, centre-piece of the eighth-century Ulster cycle of heroic tales, is Ireland's nearest approach to a great epic. It tells the story of a great cattle-raid, the invasion of Ulster by the armies of Medb and Ailill, queen and king of Connacht, and their allies, seeking to carry off the great Brown Bull of Cuailnge. The hero of the tale is Cúchulainn, the Hound of Ulster, who resists the invaders single-handed, while Ulster's warriors lie sick. Thomas Kinsella's presents a complete and living version of the story.

The Táin: From the Irish Epic Táin Bó Cúailnge

Anonymous Anonymous

The Táin Bó Cúailnge, centre-piece of the eighth-century Ulster cycle of heroic tales, is Ireland's nearest approach to a great epic. It tells the story of a great cattle-raid, the invasion of Ulster by the armies of Medb and Ailill, queen and king of Connacht, and their allies, seeking to carry off the great Brown Bull of Cúailnge. The hero of the tale is Cúchulainn, the Hound of Ulster, who resists the invaders single-handed, while Ulster's warriors lie sick. Thomas Kinsella's presents a complete and living version of the story. His translation is based on the partial texts in two medieval manuscripts, with elements from other version, and adds a group of related stories which prepare for the action of the Táin. Illustrated with brush drawings by Louis le Brocquy, this edition provides a combination of medieval epic and modern art.

The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter

Anonymous Anonymous

Preface by Donald Keene Taketori Monogatari, The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is the oldest surviving Japanese work of fiction; The Tale of Genji (written about 1010) referred to it as the "ancestor of all romances." The names of five suitors, resembling those of members of the Japanese court of the eighth century, have suggested to some scholars that the The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter was conceived of as a satire, but this is not how the work was read in later centuries. Today it is thought of mainly as a children's story, and Kaguya-hime, the heroine, looks in the illustrations as lovable as Snow-White or Cinderella; there is no suggestions of the heartlessness that is perhaps her most memorable feature. Elements in the narrative recall similar tales from other parts of the world. The tests to which the suitors are subjected resemble the riddles asked by the icy Princess Turandot, or we may recall the three caskets among which the suitors had to choose in The Merchant of Venice. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the tests Kaguya-hime imposes is the humor with which they are related. The second suitor's lyrical description of the magical island of Horai, where he allegedly found the jeweled branch, is interrupted by the mundane demands of the artisans who actually made it. Again, the fourth suitor, at the end of his unsuccessful quest, urges his men to stay away from the vicinity of the house of "that thief of a Kaguya-hime." Such a characterization of the heroine takes us from the realm of the children's story. About thirty-five years ago I first published a translation of The Tales of the Bamboo Cutter in the journal Monumenta Nipponica. A few years later-in the summer of 1965-a Japanese publisher conceived the plan of a book that would incorporate my translation, the translation into modern Japanese by the great novelist Yasunari Kawabata, and illustrations by one of the outstanding contemporary Japanese painters. I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to revise my translation. About this time, I visited an exhibition of kirie (paper-cut pictures) by Masayuki Miyata, and discovered that he had actually completed series of works illustrating The Tale if the Bamboo Cutter. I was delighted that at last it would be possible to realize the project first conceived so many years before. There were still further delays, but at last the book has materialized. [This work] combines the work of unknown Japanese writer of over a thousand years ago, the translation by a master of modern Japanese, illustrations by an outstanding artist, and a translation by an American who has devoted his life to the study of Japanese literature.

The Upanishads

Anonymous Anonymous

Easwaran’s best-selling translation of the ancient wisdom texts called the Upanishads is reliable, readable, and profound. In the Upanishads, illumined sages share flashes of insight, the results of their investigation into consciousness itself. In extraordinary visions, they experience directly a transcendent Reality which is the essence, or Self, of each created being. They teach that each of us, each Self, is eternal, deathless, one with the power that created the universe. Easwaran’s best-selling translation of selections taken from the principal Upanishads and five others is reliable and accessible. It includes an overview of the cultural and historical setting, with chapter introductions, notes, and a Sanskrit glossary. But it is Easwaran’s understanding of the wisdom of the Upanishads, and their relevance to the modern reader, that makes this edition truly outstanding. Each sage, each Upanishad, appeals in different ways to the reader’s head and heart. As Easwaran writes, “The Upanishads belong not just to Hinduism. They are India’s most precious legacy to humanity, and in that spirit they are offered here.”

The Vinland Sagas

Anonymous Anonymous

The Saga of the Greenlanders and Eirik the Red’s Saga contain the first ever descriptions of North America, a bountiful land of grapes and vines, discovered by Vikings five centuries before Christopher Columbus. Written down in the early thirteenth century, they recount the Icelandic settlement of Greenland by Eirik the Red, the chance discovery by seafaring adventurers of a mysterious new land, and Eirik’s son Leif the Lucky’s perilous voyages to explore it. Wrecked by storms, stricken by disease and plagued by navigational mishaps, some survived the North Atlantic to pass down this compelling tale of the first Europeans to talk with, trade with, and war with the Native Americans. Keneva Kunz's meticulous yet highly accessible translation is accompanied by an introduction by Gísli Sigurðsson, which discusses the historical reliability of the two sagas and the geographical placing of Vinland, and builds up a picture of the explorers' likely sea routes to the new world. This edition also contains maps, a family tree and an index of characters, a chronology and suggestions for further reading.

The Woman of Colour: A Tale (Broadview Editions)

Anonymous Anonymous

In The Woman of Colour, Olivia Fairfield, the biracial heroine and orphaned daughter of an English slaveholder and an African princess, must travel to England, and as a condition of her father's will, either marry her Caucasian first cousin, Augustus Merton, or become dependent on his mercenary elder brother and sister-in-law. As Olivia decides between these two conflicting possibilities, her letters recount her impressions of Britain and its inhabitants as only a black woman could record them. She gives scathing descriptions of London, Bristol, and the British, as well as progressive critiques of race, racism, and slavery. The narrative follows her life from the heights of her arranged marriage to its swift descent into annulment, destitution, and potential debauchery, only to culminate in her resurrection as a self-proclaimed "widow" who flouts the conventional marriage plot. The Woman of Colour is a unique literary account of a black heiress' life immediately after the abolition of the British slave trade, and will inspire readers to rethink issues of race, gender, class, and empire from an African woman's perspective.

The Zend Avesta, Part 1 of 3: The Vendidad (Forgotten Books)

Anonymous Anonymous

The etymology of the term Avesta itself is uncertain, but a derivation from middle Persian abestag, 'praise', is a frequently noted possibility. The texts of the Avesta - which are all in the Avestan language - were collated over several hundred years. The most important portion, the Gathas, in Gathic Avestan, are the hymns thought to have been composed by Zarathushtra (Zoroaster) himself, and date linguistically to around 1000 [BC]. The liturgical texts of the Yasna, which includes the Gathas, is partially in Older and partially in Younger Avestan. The oldest portions may be older than the Gathas, later adapted to more closely follow the doctrine of Zoroaster. The various Yashts are in Younger Avestan and thought to date to the Achaemenid era (559-330 [BC]). The Visperad and Vendidad, which are also in Younger Avestan, were probably composed even later but this is not certain. (Quote from ) About the Author Thomas Firminger Thiselton-Dyer (1843 - 1928) Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer FLS FRS KCMG (July 28, 1843-December 23, 1928) was a British botanist. Thiselton-Dyer was born in Westminster, London. Initially studying mathematics at Oxford University, he graduated in natural science in 1867. He became Professor of Natural History at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester and then Professor of Botany at the Royal College of Science in Dublin. In 1872, he became professor at the Royal Horticultural Society in London, being recommended by Joseph Hooker. Then in 1875, Thiselton-Dyer was offered the Assistant Directorship at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, under Hooker, where he was to stay for thirty years. Thiselton-Dyer spent considerable time on the Colonies, e.g. introducing rubber to plantations of Sri Lanka

Una mujer en Berlín

Anonymous Anonymous

Quien quiera enterarse de lo que en realidad ocurrió en las postrimerías de la Segunda Guerra Mundial tendrá que preguntárselo a las mujeres. Así lo ve la autora de este libro, que vivió el final de la guerra en Berlín. Sus observaciones aparecieron publicadas por primera vez en 1954, gracias a los esfuerzos del crítico Kurt W. Marek. Además del epílogo que Marek adjuntó a dicha primera edición en inglés, Anagrama recoge una introducción de Hans Magnus Enzensberger donde relata las vicisitudes por las que han pasado estas memorias desde su creación y la razón por la que la autora decidió no revelar su identidad. En este documento único no se ilustra lo singular sino lo que les tocó vivir a millones de mujeres: primero la supervivencia entre los escombros, acuciadas por el hambre, el miedo y el asco, y posteriormente, por la venganza de los vencedores.

القرآن الكريم

Anonymous Anonymous

The Quran (English pronunciation: /kɔrˈɑːn/; Arabic: القرآن‎ al-qurʾān, IPA: [qurˈʔaːn], literally meaning "the recitation"), also transliterated Qur'an, Koran, Al-Coran, Coran, Kur'an, and Al-Qur'an, is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims believe to be the verbatim word of God (Arabic: الله‎, Allah). The Quran is composed of verses (Ayat) that make up 114 chapters (suras) of unequal length which are classified either as Meccan (المكية) or Medinan (المدنية) depending upon the place and time of their claimed revelation. Muslims believe the Quran to be verbally revealed through the angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) from God to Muhammad gradually over a period of approximately 23 years beginning on 22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death. Muslims regard the Quran as the main miracle of Muhammad, the proof of his prophethood and the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with the messages revealed to Adam, regarded in Islam as the first prophet, and continued with Suhuf Ibrahim (Scrolls of Abraham), the Tawrat (Torah or Pentateuch) of Moses, the Zabur (Tehillim or Book of Psalms) of David, and the Injil (Gospel) of Jesus. The Quran assumes familiarity with major narratives recounted in Jewish and Christian scriptures, summarizing some, dwelling at length on others and in some cases presenting alternative accounts and interpretations of events. The Quran describes itself as a book of guidance, sometimes offering detailed accounts of specific historical events, and often emphasizing the moral significance of an event over its narrative sequence.
