ביום נקם: פרשת הנקם היהודי בנאצים = Be-yom naḳam : parashat ha-naḳam ha-Yehudi ba-Natsim
Par Michael Bar-Zohar. 1991
"This book chronicles the long hunt for Nazi war criminals and the swift justice they are dealt by Jewish avengers.…
Beginning with accounts of Jewish vengeance, the book then describes the complicated escape plans of top Nazi leaders and their underground aid network, and ends in Mato Grosso, the jungle located on the Brazilian and Argentine borders that, when the book was written, was a sort of renegade Nazi badland." -- Provided by NLS.

Averroes on Plato's "Republic"
Par Averroes, Ralph Lerner. 1974
"In one fashion or another, the question with which this introduction begins is a question for every serious reader of…
Plato's Republic: Of what use is this philosophy to me? Averroes clearly finds that the Republic speaks to his own time and to his own situation. . . . Perhaps the greatest use he makes of the Republic is to understand better the shari'a itself. . . . It is fair to say that in deciding to paraphrase the Republic, Averroes is asserting that his world--the world defined and governed by the Koran--can profit from Plato's instruction."--from Ralph Lerner's IntroductionAn indispensable primary source in medieval political philosophy is presented here in a fully annotated translation of the celebrated discussion of the Republic by the twelfth-century Andalusian Muslim philosopher, Abu'l-Walid Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Rushd, also know by his his Latinized name, Averroes. This work played a major role in both the transmission and the adaptation of the Platonic tradition in the West. In a closely argued critical introduction, Ralph Lerner addresses several of the most important problems raised by the work.
Most Evil II is Steve Hodel's follow-up investigation (2009-2015) into his father's potential murders and introduces new evidence and additional…
linkage obtained by him over the past six years. Included in that evidence, is the solving of the Zodiac's forty-five year cryptic cipher, which gives us the answer to the question asked in Most Evil, "Were Black Dahlia Avenger and Zodiac the same serial killer?" The solution of that cipher provides us with the name of San Francisco's most infamous serial killer. However, it is not presented as just another "theory" from some armchair detective, or even from the author himself, a highly respected, veteran LAPD homicide detective. Rather, the solution comes from the killer's own mouth, written in his own hand--it is Zodiac's personally signed confession!

Mainan Seks: Baik atau Jahat?
Par Gabriel Agbo. 2019
Pedagang mainan seks mengumpulkan miliaran dolar setiap tahun. Produk mereka sangat beragam dan hari ini tersedia di setiap bagian dunia.…
Sekarang, ini mirip seperti bisnis yang secara artifisial atau teknologi merangsang dan memuaskan hasrat seksual sedang trendi. Orang lajang, sudah menikah, tua, muda, saat ini menjadi pelanggan setia toko-toko mainan seks dan produsennya, secara bijak juga, terus membuat alat-alat yang lebih menarik dan canggih. Sepertinya kecerdasan inovatif mereka tidak berhenti untuk menemukan alat-alat pemuas seksual baru ini. Saat ini beberapa alat ini bertindak dan berperilaku persis seperti pasangan lawan jenis dalam bertindak. Benar. Namun di sini, kita ingin melihat asal, niat, dan akibat dari alat ini bagi pemakai, terutama implikasi secara rohani serta psikologis. Mainan seks bukan barang baru. Mainan seks memiliki sejarah panjang yang dimulai dengan pemakaian benda-benda ukiran yang melambangkan penis. Bangsa Romawi, Yunani, Tionghoa, Asia, dan India kuno sudah memakai benda-benda ukiran yang terbuat dari batu, besi, emas, kayu, serta bahan lainnya untuk mendorong masturbasi. Beberapa di antaranya (seperti bangsa Yunani) menyembah dewa dan dewi seks; di situlah benda-benda inilah ditampilkan, dipakai, dan perbuatan amoral seksual juga dipromosikan secara luas, termasuk hubungan seks dengan iblis serta roh. Jadi, kita bisa sepantasnya mengatakan bahwa dasar dari mainan seks berasal dari hasrat untuk kesenangan ‘tanpa batas’ dan penyembahan para dewa iblis. Penemuan ini berubah menjadi benda lain dan pada abad ke-20 kita melihat vibrator listrik pertama ditemukan. Sejak saat itu, banyak sekali buku petunjuk tentang hal ini dan kemudian menjadi alat kesenangan seksual yang canggih. Beberapa di antaranya bisa berkedip dan berbicara! Wow! Sekarang, apakah mainan seks termasuk dalam rencana semula Tuhan? Dan karena hubungan seksual adalah pertalian secara jasmani, emosi, serta rohani, apakah ini memiliki efek samping sec
Mematahkan Kutuk Keturunan: Mengklaim Kebebasan Anda
Par Gabriel Agbo. 2019
Buku ini akan membuka mata Anda tentang akibat dari semua tindakan kita pada tujuan hidup kita dan anak-anak kita; sekalipun…
mereka belum lahir. Persoalan kutuk sudah lama diabaikan, dan kami merasa itu perlu diungkapkan di sini. Kita mulai dengan masuk ke dalam ayat-ayat Alkitab agar mengetahui apa yang sebenarnya difirmankan Tuhan tentang hal itu, cara kerjanya, dan cara kita agar benar-benar bebas darinya. Kutuk keturunan sangat penting sehingga Tuhan memasukkannya dalam tabel 10 Perintah Allah. Begitu banyak orang yang diikat oleh musuh dengan alat perbudakan yang tidak terlihat dan tidak bisa dikenali. Dalam pembahasan ini, kita akan diajari cara untuk meremukkan belenggu yang berasal dari musuh ini. Kita menelusuri lebih dalam ke area seperti penyembahan berhala (Termasuk Halloween), amoralitas, pengkhianatan, pencurian, pembunuhan, dll. Saya yakin ketika Anda membaca buku ini dan menyelidiki kebenarannya, akan ada dorongan dalam diri Anda untuk menguji diri sendiri serta melakukan upaya yang disengaja untuk hidup dalam kekudusan jika bukan untuk diri sendiri, setidaknya demi kepentingan anak-anak Anda dan generasi yang belum lahir.

that expound exclusively about karawitan (the combined vocal and instrumental music of the gamelan). Scholar Judith Becker has culled several key sources on karawitan into three volumes and has translated them for the benefit of the Western student of the gamelan tradition. The texts in her collection were written over a forty-five-year time period (ca 1930–1975) and include articles by Martopangrawit, Sumarsam, Sastrapustaka, Gitosaprodjo, Sindoesawarno, Poerbapangrawit, Probohardjono, Warsadiningrat, Purbodiningrat, Poerbatjaraka, and Paku Buwana X. The final volume also contains a glossary of technical terms, an appendix of the Javanese cipher notations (titilaras kepatihan), a biographical listing, and an index to the musical pieces (Gendhing).
Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities
Par John Wei. 2020
In Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities, John Wei brings light to the germination and movements of queer cultures and social…
practices in today’s China and Sinophone Asia. While many scholars attribute China’s emergent queer cultures to the neoliberal turn and the global political landscape, Wei refuses to take these assumptions for granted. He finds that the values and pitfalls of the development-induced mobilities and post-development syndromes have conjointly structured and sustained people’s ongoing longings and sufferings under the dual pressure of compulsory familism and compulsory development. While young gay men are increasingly mobilized in their decision-making to pursue sociocultural and socioeconomic capital to afford a queer life, the ubiquitous and compulsory mobilities have significantly reshaped and redefined today’s queer kinship structure, transnational cultural network, and social stratification in China and capitalist Asia. With Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities, Wei interrogates the meanings and functions of mobilities at the forefront of China’s internal transformation and international expansion for its great dream of revival, when gender and sexuality have become increasingly mobilized with geographical, cultural, and social class migrations and mobilizations beyond traditional and conventional frameworks, categories, and boundaries.
This volume offers a new English translation, introduction, and detailed commentary on Sefer Meyasher 'Aqov, (The Rectifying of the Curved), a…
14th-century Hebrew treatise on the foundation of geometry. The book is a mixture of two genres: philosophical discussion and formal, Euclidean-type geometrical writing. A central issue is the use of motion and superposition in geometry, which is analyzed in depth through dialog with earlier Arab mathematicians. The author, Alfonso, was identified by Gita Gluskina (the editor of the 1983 Russian edition) as Alfonso of Valladolid, the converted Jew Abner of Burgos. Alfonso lived in Castile, rather far from the leading cultural centers of his time, but nonetheless at the crossroad of three cultures. He was raised in the Jewish tradition and like many Sephardic Jewish intellectuals was versed in Greek-Arabic philosophy and science. He also had connections with some Christian nobles and towards the end of his life converted to Christianity. Driven by his ambition to solve the problem of the quadrature of the circle, as well as other open geometrical problems, Alfonso acquired surprisingly wide knowledge and became familiar with several episodes in Greek and Arabic geometry that historians usually consider not to have been known in the West in the fourteenth century. Sefer Meyasher 'Aqov reflects his wide and deep erudition in mathematics and philosophy, and provides new evidence on cultural transmission around the Mediterranean.

Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew
Par Shai Heijmans. 2020
This volume presents a collection of articles centring on the language of the Mishnah and the Talmud – the most…
important Jewish texts (after the Bible), which were compiled in Palestine and Babylonia in the latter centuries of Late Antiquity. Despite the fact that Rabbinic Hebrew has been the subject of growing academic interest across the past century, very little scholarship has been written on it in English. Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew addresses this lacuna, with eight lucid but technically rigorous articles written in English by a range of experienced scholars, focusing on various aspects of Rabbinic Hebrew: its phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics and lexicon. This volume is essential reading for students and scholars of Rabbinic studies alike, and constitutes the first in a new series, Studies in Semitic Languages and Cultures, in collaboration with the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge.
Prismatic Jane Eyre: Close-Reading a World Novel Across Languages
Par Matthew Reynolds, Others. 2023
Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Brontë and first published in 1847, has been translated more than five hundred times into…
over sixty languages. Prismatic Jane Eyre argues that we should see these many re-writings, not as simple replications of the novel, but as a release of its multiple interpretative possibilities: in other words, as a prism. Prismatic Jane Eyre develops the theoretical ramifications of this idea, and reads Brontë’s novel in the light of them: together, the English text and the many translations form one vast entity, a multilingual world-work, spanning many times and places, from Cuba in 1850 to 21st-century China; from Calcutta to Bologna, Argentina to Iran. Co-written by many scholars, Prismatic Jane Eyre traces the receptions of the novel across cultures, showing why, when and where it has been translated (and no less significantly, not translated – as in Swahili), and exploring its global publishing history with digital maps and carousels of cover images. Above all, the co-authors read the translations and the English text closely, and together, showing in detail how the novel’s feminist power, its political complexities and its romantic appeal play out differently in different contexts and in the varied styles and idioms of individual translators. Tracking key words such as ‘passion’ and ‘plain’ across many languages via interactive visualisations and comparative analysis, Prismatic Jane Eyre opens a wholly new perspective on Brontë’s novel, and provides a model for the collaborative close-reading of world literature. Prismatic Jane Eyre is a major intervention in translation and reception studies and world and comparative literature. It will also interest scholars of English literature, and readers of the Brontës.
El reencuentro de los compañeros de armas

Una novela poética y nostálgica en la que Mo Yan muestra su rabia, combinada con una ironía feroz, contra la…
estupidez de la guerra y quienes la libran, y una ternura apasionada por los que la sufren. «El reencuentro de los compañeros de armas» transmite con asombrosa vivacidad los sentimientos de dos veteranos del ejército de las aldeas rurales de la China más profunda. Uno de ellos murió en el frente de forma ignominiosa. El otro llegó a ser oficial. Los dos amigos se reúnen en espacios imaginarios y hablan de la vida, de su infancia campesina, de sus años en los cuarteles, de sus amores frustrados y de las batallas donde, en todas partes, la farsa compite con la tragedia.
Divine Style: Walt Whitman and the King James Bible
Par F. W. Dobbs-Allsopp. 2024
In exploring the seminal works of Walt Whitman, the great American poet, many commentators have acknowledged the underlying influence of…
The King James Bible. However, a study has yet to elucidate the precise manner in which the Bible has shaped Whitman’s poetic style. This is the deficit that F. W. Dobbs-Allsopp seeks to address in his new piece of literary scholarship: 'Divine Style: Walt Whitman and the King James Bible'. Dobbs-Allsopp, Professor of Old Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, explicitly approaches Whitman from the perspective of a biblical scholar. Utilising his wealth of expertise in this field, he constructs a compelling, erudite and methodical argument for the King James Bible’s importance in the evolution of Whitman’s style – from his signature long lines to the prevalence of parallelism and tendency towards parataxis in his works. 'Divine Style' focuses on Whitman’s output in the years preceding the release of his 1855 opus 'Leaves of Grass' through the general period of the book’s first three editions. In this, Dobbs-Allsopp’s exploration of the period is exhaustive – covering not just Leaves of Grass but recently recovered notebooks, newly digitised manuscripts and additions to the corpus, such as the novel 'Life and Adventures of Jack Engle'. This is a work of careful, detailed scholarship, offering an authoritative commentary that will be a valuable resource for students of Whitman, biblical scholars and scholars of literature more generally.
