]]> Hitler 4220835 Ian Kershaw's Hitler brings us closer than ever before to the character of the bizarre misfit in his 30-year ascent from a Viennese shelter for the indigent to uncontested rule over the German nation that had tried and rejected democracy in the crippling aftermath of World War I. With extraordinary vividness, Kershaw recreates the settings that made Hitler's rise possible: the virulent anti-Semitism of prewar Vienna, the crucible of a war with immense casualties, the toxic nationalism that gripped Bavaria in the 1920s, the undermining of the Weimar Republic by extremists of the Right and the Left, the hysteria that accompanied Hitler's seizure of power in 1933 and then mounted in brutal attacks by his storm troopers on Jews and others condemned as enemies of the Aryan race.
In an account drawing on many previously untapped sources, Hitler metamorphoses from an obscure fantasist, a "drummer" sounding an insistent beat of hatred in Munich beer halls, to the instigator of an infamous failed putsch and, ultimately, to the leadership of a ragtag alliance of right-wing parties fused into a movement that enthralled the German people.]]> 1030 Ian Kershaw 1846140692 Mir 0 4.67 1998 Hitler

Hunt Athalar is a notorious Fallen angel, now enslaved to the Archangels he once attempted to overthrow. His brutal skills and incredible strength have been set to one purpose-to assassinate his boss's enemies, no questions asked. But with a demon wreaking havoc in the city, he's offered an irresistible deal: help Bryce find the murderer, and his freedom will be within reach.

As Bryce and Hunt dig deep into Crescent City's underbelly, they discover a dark power that threatens everything and everyone they hold dear, and they find, in each other, a blazing passion-one that could set them both free, if they'd only let it.

]]> <![CDATA[Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity]]> 21076361 Uncovers the mindset and motives that drive far-right extremists More than half a century after the defeat of Nazism and fascism, the far right is again challenging the liberal order of Western democracies. Radical movements are feeding on anxiety about immigration, globalization and the refugee crisis, giving rise to new waves of nationalism and surges of white supremacism. A curious mixture of Aristocratic paganism, anti-Semitic demonology, Eastern philosophies and the occult is influencing populist antigovernment sentiment and helping to exploit the widespread fear that invisible elites are shaping world events.Black Sun examines this neofascist ideology, showing how hate groups, militias and conspiracy cults gain influence. Based on interviews and extensive research into underground groups, the book documents new Nazi and fascist sects that have sprung up since the 1970s and examines the mentality and motivation of these far-right extremists. The result is a detailed, grounded portrait of the mythical and devotional aspects of Hitler cults among Aryan mystics, racist skinheads and Nazi satanists, and disciples of heavy metal music and occult literature.Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke offers a unique perspective on far right neo-Nazism viewing it as a new form of Western religious heresy. He paints a frightening picture of a religion with its own relics, rituals, prophecies and an international sectarian following that could, under the proper conditions, gain political power and attempt to realize its dangerous millenarian fantasies.]]> 379 Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke 0814732372 Mir 0 currently-reading 3.97 2001 Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity

]]> <![CDATA[The Care of the Dead in Late Antiquity (Cornell Studies in Classical Philology Book 59)]]> 20739893
In fact, as late as the fourth and fifth centuries the Church did not impose on the faithful specific rituals for laying the dead to rest. In the preparation of Christians for burial, it was usually next of kin and not representatives of the Church who were responsible for what form of rite would be celebrated, and evidence from inscriptions and tombstones shows that for the most part Christians didn't separate themselves from non-Christians when burying their dead. According to Rebillard it would not be until the early Middle Ages that the Church gained control over burial practices and that "Christian cemeteries" became common.

In this translation of Religion et Sé L'église, les vivants et les morts dans l'Antiquité tardive, Rebillard fundamentally changes our understanding of early Christianity. The Care of the Dead in Late Antiquity will force scholars of the period to rethink their assumptions about early Christians as separate from their pagan contemporaries in daily life and ritual practice.]]> 241 Eric Rebillard Mir 0 currently-reading 5.00 2009 The Care of the Dead in Late Antiquity (Cornell Studies in Classical Philology Book 59)

]]> <![CDATA[The Origin of the Jews: The Quest for Roots in a Rootless Age]]> 35103527 The first major history of the scholarly quest to answer the question of Jewish originsThe Jews have one of the longest continuously recorded histories of any people in the world, but what do we actually know about their origins? While many think the answer to this question can be found in the Bible, others look to archaeology or genetics. Some skeptics have even sought to debunk the very idea that the Jews have a common origin. In this book, Steven Weitzman takes a learned and lively look at what we know—or think we know—about where the Jews came from, when they arose, and how they came to be.Scholars have written hundreds of books on the topic and have come up with scores of explanations, theories, and historical reconstructions, but this is the first book to trace the history of the different approaches that have been applied to the question, including genealogy, linguistics, archaeology, psychology, sociology, and genetics. Weitzman shows how this quest has been fraught since its inception with religious and political agendas, how anti-Semitism cast its long shadow over generations of learning, and how recent claims about Jewish origins have been difficult to disentangle from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He does not offer neatly packaged conclusions but invites readers on an intellectual adventure, shedding new light on the assumptions and biases of those seeking answers—and the challenges that have made finding answers so elusive.Spanning more than two centuries and drawing on the latest findings, The Origin of the Jews brings needed clarity and historical context to this enduring and often divisive topic.]]> 409 Steven Weitzman Mir 0 4.44 The Origin of the Jews: The Quest for Roots in a Rootless Age

]]> <![CDATA[Jesus: A Life in Class Conflict]]> 86530525 'Precise, clear, accessible, and important. I can think of no better introduction to the historical Jesus for the general reader, no clearer statement on the legacy of the Jesus movement in the sweep of subsequent history, or a more worthy challenge to contemporary scholarship on Jesus and the rise of Christianity.' Neil Elliott, author of Liberating The Justice of God and the Politics of the Apostle

What made the Jesus movement tick? By situating the life of Jesus of Nazareth in the turbulent troubles of first-century Palestine, Crossley and Myles give a thrilling historical-materialist take on the historical Jesus. Delivering a wealth of knowledge on the social, economic, and cultural conflicts of the time, A Life in Class Conflict uncovers the emergence of a fervent and deadly serious religious organizer whose social and religious movement offered not only a radical end-time edict of divine reversal and judgment but also a promising new world order ruled in the interests of the peasantry. The movement's popular appeal was due in part to a desire to represent the values of ordinary rural workers, and its vision meant that the rich would have to give up their wealth, while the poor would be afforded a life of heavenly luxury. Tensions flared up considerably when the movement marched on Jerusalem and Jesus was willingly martyred for the cause. Crossley and Myles offer a vivid portrait of the man and his movement and uncover the material conditions that converged to make it happen.]]> 306 James Crossley 1803410833 Mir 0 4.25 Jesus: A Life in Class Conflict

Hon betraktas som en ensling, som föredrar rådjurens och vildsvinens sällskap framför människornas.

Den här natten inträffar den första av en rad allt märkligare händelser i Janinas avlägsna hörn av världen. Grannen Storfot hittas död. Snart följer fler offer. Den lokala polisen famlar, och Janina inser att hon måste ta utredningen i egna händer. Bara hon verkar kunna tyda spåren.

Michka har under sitt yrkesliv gjort fotoreportage runt om i hela världen, men hon gifte sig aldrig och fick inga barn. Nu är hon en gammal dam, och efterhand som minnet och orden sviker henne blir det allt mer påtagligt att tiden håller på att rinna ut. Michka klarar sig inte själv längre och tvingas stänga igen dörren till sin lägenhet för sista gången.

Det är en stor omställning att flytta in på ett boende men Marie, en ung kvinna som växte upp i lägenheten ovanpå Michkas och som är mycket fäst vid henne, hälsar på så ofta hon bara kan. Där finns också logopeden Jérôme som gör sitt yttersta för att hjälpa Michka att hålla kvar orden som hon förlorar i allt snabbare takt.

I Michkas sätt att ersätta borttappade ord med andra bjuder Delphine de Vigan på underbar uppfinningsrikedom och humor, samtidigt som det ger små ledtrådar till den gamla damens dramatiska förflutna. Det finns nämligen en sak som Michka till varje pris inte vill lämna ogjort och därför behöver hon Marie och Jérômes hjälp att leta upp någon hon kände som ung flicka. Men kanske är inte Michka den enda i trion som behöver hjälp att försonas med det som varit?

Dessa tre öden flätas samman i en varm och ömsint skildring av vänskap, kärlek och familjen vi själva väljer. En berättelse om vikten av att säga tack innan det är för sent.]]> 188 Delphine de Vigan 9188697894 Mir 0 3.77 2019 Om det inte vore för dig

Throughout much of history, the Jewish way of life has been characterized by strict adherence to the practices and prohibitions legislated by the Torah: dietary laws, ritual purity, circumcision, Sabbath regulations, holidays, and more. But precisely when did this unique way of life first emerge, and why specifically at that time?
Ěý
In this revolutionary new study, Yonatan Adler methodically engages ancient texts and archaeological discoveries to reveal the earliest evidence of Torah observance among ordinary Judeans. He examines the species of animal bones in ancient rubbish heaps, the prevalence of purification pools and chalk vessels in Judean settlements, the dating of figural representations in decorative and functional arts, evidence of such practices as tefillin and mezuzot, and much more to reconstruct when ancient Judean society first adopted the Torah as authoritative law.

]]> <![CDATA[The New Science of the Enchanted Universe: An Anthropology of Most of Humanity]]> 58885962 One of the world's preeminent cultural anthropologists leaves a last work that fundamentally reconfigures how we study most other cultures

From the perspective of Western modernity, humanity inhabits a disenchanted cosmos. Gods, spirits, and ancestors have left us for a transcendent beyond, no longer living in our midst and being involved in all matters of everyday life from the trivial to the dire. Yet the vast majority of cultures throughout human history treat spirits as very real persons, members of a cosmic society who interact with humans and control their fate. In most cultures, even today, people are but a small part of an enchanted universe misconstrued by the transcendent categories of "religion" and the "supernatural." The New Science of the Enchanted Universe shows how anthropologists and other social scientists must rethink these cultures of immanence and study them by their own lights.

In this, his last, revelatory book, Marshall Sahlins announces a new method and sets an exciting agenda for the field. He takes readers around the world, from Inuit of the Arctic Circle to pastoral Dinka of East Africa, from Arawet� swidden gardeners of Amazonia to Trobriand Island horticulturalists. In the process, Sahlins sheds new light on classical and contemporary ethnographies that describe these cultures of immanence and reveals how even the apparently mundane, all-too-human spheres of "economics" and "politics" emerge as people negotiate with, and ultimately usurp, the powers of the gods.

The New Science of the Enchanted Universe offers a road map for a new practice of anthropology that takes seriously the enchanted universe and its transformations from ancient Mesopotamia to contemporary America.]]> 208 Marshall Sahlins 0691215928 Mir 0 4.04 2022 The New Science of the Enchanted Universe: An Anthropology of Most of Humanity

]]> Om hon inte lever är jag död 55337861
Hortense var fyra år när hon försvann, en vanlig eftermiddag när hon lekte kurragömma i parken med sin mamma. Efter tio år av sökande hoppas hennes föräldrar fortfarande att hon ska dyka upp.

Allt ställs på sin spets när en ny familj flyttar in i grannhuset. Deras dotter är fjorton år, precis som Hortense skulle ha varit. Hon har samma leende, samma ärr vid läppen. Mer än så behövs inte för att mamman ska känna igen sin försvunna dotter, och hon går snart för långt i sin övertygelse.

Författaren med änglaansiktet och djävulspennan är tillbaka med en roman som får blodet att isa sig i ådrorna. Det här är en berättelse som sveper oss med i en nedåtgående spiral tillsammans med en mamma som gradvis tappar greppet om verkligheten. Vad hände egentligen i parken den där dagen?

Förutom tät psykologisk spänning finns alla de ingredienser som blivit Castillons signum: dragningen till det mänskliga psykets mörkaste vrår, sanningar vi inte ens kan erkänna för oss själva, och glimtar av nattsvart humor.

"Gastkramande och mästerlig." - Avantages

Claire Castillon debuterade redan som 25-åring. Novellsamlingen Insekt från 2007 var dessutom den allra första boken som Sekwa gav ut.

På skolan härskar Föreståndaren, som tror att hon måste isolera eleverna för att kunna bygga dem på nytt. Hon säger: Skynda att ändra på er. Den yttersta dagen är nästan här.

Men om man inte kan det? Om Satan hela tiden viskar in oro i huvudet? Nadine ser allt ont hon gör och inget annat.

Vet du vad det renaste i universum är, frågar den första flickan.

Därute bland tistelkullarna finns det som hjälper. Flickorna ger sig av om kvällarna, de letar efter något. Hur hittar man det?

Någon ritar ett ansikte med flätor och näsring på marken. Det är Assam Lo, undergroundartisten som eleverna älskar. När nyheten om att hon är död når dem hamnar hela skolan i kris. Dammet blåser, kanske är stormen på väg. Ett frö till uppror är redan sått.]]> 280 Sami Said 9127182487 Mir 0 3.17 Satansviskningar

Ställd inför smärtan vänder sig Nina Bouraoui till skrivandet, och blandar sin fars liv med sitt eget. Alla minnen kommer tillbaka från Paris och Alger, konsten att leka och att älska, sättet att leva och att iaktta. Nina Bouraoui berättar om denne herre och man som för en högst romanartad tillvaro, och föreställer sig hemligheterna som han tar med sig. Det är en omtumlande skildring av en förlust och ett möte genom minnet och kärleken.

En kvinna bestämmer sig för att i hembygdsföreningens årsbok nedteckna de sju systrarna Leskinens vilda historia. Varför gick de aldrig i skola? Varför ville de leva isolerade i ödemarken, femton mil från närmaste stad? Varför betedde de sig som grovhuggna pojkar?

Det blir till en berättelse om vrede och sorg, om ensamhet och gemenskap, om syskonrivalitet och en förhöjd livskänsla i den krävande tillvaron långt in i vildmarken.

Anneli Jordahl har inspirerats av Aleksis Kivis finska romanklassiker Sju bröder från 1870 men har valt att flytta berättelsen till nutid och till namnlösa platser i Finland - och att istället placera sju systrar i förgrunden.]]> 333 Anneli Jordahl 9113118382 Mir 0 3.57 2022 Björnjägarens döttrar: En berättelse om sju systrar

]]> <![CDATA[1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed]]> 18730589 From acclaimed archaeologist and bestselling author Eric Cline, a breathtaking account of how the collapse of an ancient civilized world ushered in the first Dark Ages.

In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the Sea Peoples invaded Egypt. The pharaoh's army and navy defeated them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, famine, and the cutting of international trade routes. Bringing to life a vibrant multicultural world, he draws a sweeping panorama of the empires of the age and shows that it may have been their very interdependence that hastened their dramatic collapse. Now revised and updated, 1177 B.C. sheds light on the complex ties that gave rise to, and eventually destroyed, the flourishing civilizations of the Late Bronze Age—and set the stage for the emergence of classical Greece and, ultimately, our world today.]]> 264 Eric H.

]]> Gisslan 51698945 Gisslan målar Nina Bouraoui ett inträngande porträtt av en kvinna som har brutit med sin omgivning. Sylvie Meyer, femtiotreårig, nyskild tvåbarnsmor, fackligt ombud på det företag hon varit anställd på i drygt tjugo år, håller en natt sin chef, Victor Andrieu, gisslan på hans kontor. Ansikte mot ansikte, driven av ett begär att få uttrycka den verkliga orsaken till sitt handlande, försöker Sylvie sätta ord på den våldsamhet som har slagit rot i henne och fått henne att skrida till verket. I den öppna handväskan ligger den vassaste kökskniven, tänkt att användas för att sätta skräck i den person som i månader försåtligt utnyttjat hennes förtroende för sina egna syften.

Bokens franska titel är i pluralis och ställer därmed frågan: Vem av de två är det i själva verket som håller den andre gisslan? Gisslan bygger på en kort teaterpjäs med samma namn som Bouraoui skrev 2014.

Den fransk-algeriska författaren Nina Bouraoui, född 1967, räknas som en av Frankrikes mest betydande författare av idag och belönades 2005 med det prestigefyllda Prix Renaudot för Mina onda tankar.]]> 180 Nina Bouraoui 9186497758 Mir 0 3.49 2020 Gisslan

Julen 1983 skakas en villa i skogarna utanför Norrköping av ett våldsamt bråk och en hemlighet trillar ut ur en mamma. En pojke som heter Andrev får veta att hans pappa inte är hans pappa. Den riktiga bor i ett land långt bort och har hår ner till axlarna. Som en indian, säger mamman och tecknar mot armbågen för att pojken ska förstå. Det brusar i pojken för det är det bästa han har hört. Det känns som att han är pojken i en bok om en pojke som får veta att hans pappa är kung i ett magiskt land och att en ande ska komma för att ta med honom dit. Men det kommer inga andar, bara nya pappor som inte är hans.

Andrev Walden romandebuterar med en vild berättelse om att växa upp i spillrorna av 68-rörelsen, om mammor som står under köksfläkten och säger jävla karlar, om hur kärlek börjar och slutar, om en skalperad hamster, om den långa skuggan av ett mirakel men framför allt om män.]]> 376 Andrev Walden 9177952006 Mir 0 4.03 2023 Jävla karlar

Konstnären Asle bor själv på Dylgja norr om Björgvin. I Björgvin bor en annan Asle som även han är konstnär. De två männen är vänner och på ett vis dubbelgångare, två versioner av samma liv. Medan jagberättaren förbereder en utställning på ett galleri, hittar han vännen Asle liggande i snön. Han har kollapsat av alkoholmissbruk och blir inlagd på sjukhus.

Detta första band av "Septologin" berättar historien om Asle och Asle genom tillbakablickar på barndomen. Det handlar om Asle och systern, fjorden och alla faror, men också om en grannpojke som försvann på havet. "Septologin" är en storslagen berättelse om konst, Gud, alkoholism, vänskap och tiden som går.

]]> Jag tar inte farväl 205649509 Lätt som snö, brukar folk säga. Men även snön har tyngd. I samma utsträckning som den här vattendroppen.

Lätt som en fågel, säger man också. Men även de har tyngd.

Gyeongha är författare. Hon har drabbats av en fysisk och psykisk kollaps efter att ha skrivit en bok om en massaker. Om nätterna drömmer hon att befinner sig på en plats med stubbar som liknar gravstenar när tidvattnet börjar strömma in. Hon vill rädda gravarna undan vattnet, men hinner inte innan hon vaknar. Drömmen lämnar henne ingen ro, och det budskap hon uppfattar i den; om att räddas från död till liv, lyftas ur glömska till åminnelse, blir startskottet på en märklig resa.

Det snöar kraftigt när Gyeongha landar på Jeju, en ö söder om den koreanska halvön. Snöstormen blir en portal till ett annat tillstånd � där romanens skeende luckras upp och blir till skärvor av historia, minne och dröm. På denna ö slogs 1948-49 ett uppror ner. Det berörde själva grund-
andet av den sydkoreanska staten.

Han Kang har skrivit en bok full av både smärta och skönhet. Det snöade även under massakern på Jeju; de döda kropparna låg överallt under ett tjockt täcke snö. Han Kangs litterära metod är en sorts arkeologi: genom ”måttlös kärlek� gräver hon upp de glömda människorna.]]> 268 Han Kang 9127179311 Mir 0 3.75 2021 Jag tar inte farväl

Drawing on vast new data that reveal Americans' changing behavior, Putnam shows how we have become increasingly disconnected from one another and how social structures--whether they be PTA, church, or political parties--have disintegrated. Until the publication of this groundbreaking work, no one had so deftly diagnosed the harm that these broken bonds have wreaked on our physical and civic health, nor had anyone exalted their fundamental power in creating a society that is happy, healthy, and safe.

Like defining works from the past, such as The Lonely Crowd and The Affluent Society, and like the works of C. Wright Mills and Betty Friedan, Putnam's Bowling Alone has identified a central crisis at the heart of our society and suggests what we can do.]]> 544 Robert D.

I denna mäktiga bok om tomrummet efter en syster som dog efter bara några timmar i livet får Han Kangs centrala teman liv, död, historia, minne en mjukare och närmare behandling.

Den är en text som vibrerar av smärta och skönhet, som tecknar den mänskliga anden som både spröd och segt motståndskraftig. Många kritiker menar att den utgör en höjdpunkt i författarskapet.

Den vita boken är Han Kangs tredje utgivning på svenska efter publikframgångarna med Vegetarianen och Levande och döda. Den nominerades 2018 till internationella Bookerpriset. 2016 tilldelades Han detta pris för Vegetarianen, boken som gjorde hennes till ett världsnamn.

]]> <![CDATA[Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World]]> 138505710
Not long ago, the celebrated activist and public intellectual Naomi Klein had just such an experience―she was confronted with a doppelganger whose views she found abhorrent but whose name and public persona were sufficiently similar to her own that many people got confused about who was who. Destabilized, she lost her bearings, until she began to understand the experience as one manifestation of a strangeness many of us have come to know but struggle to define: AI-generated text is blurring the line between genuine and spurious communication; New Age wellness entrepreneurs turned anti-vaxxers are scrambling familiar political allegiances of left and right; and liberal democracies are teetering on the edge of absurdist authoritarianism, even as the oceans rise. Under such conditions, reality itself seems to have become unmoored. Is there a cure for our moment of collective vertigo?

Naomi Klein is one of our most trenchant and influential social critics, an essential analyst of what branding, austerity, and climate profiteering have done to our societies and souls. Here she turns her gaze inward to our psychic landscapes, and outward to the possibilities for building hope amid intersecting economic, medical, and political crises. With the assistance of Sigmund Freud, Jordan Peele, Alfred Hitchcock, and bell hooks, among other accomplices, Klein uses wry humor and a keen sense of the ridiculous to face the strange doubles that haunt us―and that have come to feel as intimate and proximate as a warped reflection in the mirror.

Combining comic memoir with chilling reportage and cobweb-clearing analysis, Klein seeks to smash that mirror and chart a path beyond despair. Doppelganger What do we neglect as we polish and perfect our digital reflections? Is it possible to dispose of our doubles and overcome the pathologies of a culture of multiplication? Can we create a politics of collective care and undertake a true reckoning with historical crimes? The result is a revelatory treatment of the way many of us think and feel now―and an intellectual adventure story for our times.]]> 416 Naomi Klein 0374610320 Mir 0 4.21 2023 Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World

]]> Levande och döda 30108264 Levande och döda börjar med ett stort antal mänskliga kroppar uppradade längs väggen i en gympasal. Det stinker i värmen, uppsvällda tår sticker ut under lakanen »som tjocka stumpar ingefära«. Det är 1980, platsen är Kwangju i Sydkorea. Hundratals studenter som protesterat mot regimen har just mördats av militären i en massaker. I massan av dödade unga människor vandrar en pojke, Dong-ho, omkring. Han letar efter sin vän. När han hittar honom, kommer han då att vara levande eller död? Och vad händer med själen hos den kropp som slutar leva?

I en serie länkade episoder som rör sig från 1980 fram till vår tid, gör berättaren nedslag i ett samhälle präglat av censur och skräckfylld tystnad. Samtidigt finns hela tiden en mäktig drivkraft att minnas, berätta och ge mänskligheten tillbaka till dem som berövats den.

Med Levande och döda introduceras den mångfaldigt prisbelönta Han Kang på svenska. Hennes roman är ett stilistiskt mästerverk vars klara skönhet kontrasterar mot den brutala materian. Liksom en Primo Levi eller en Solsjenitsyn, tar hon sig an den stora och svåra frågan om människors handlingar, deras potential för grymhet och ömhet.]]> 246 Han Kang 9127149072 Mir 0 4.02 2014 Levande och döda

In this outstanding example of vivid, committed and empathetic historical analysis, C. L. R. James brilliantly illuminates these epoch-making events. He explores the appalling economic realities of the Caribbean economy, the roots of the world's only successful slave revolt and the utterly extraordinary former slave - Toussaint L'Ouverture - who led them. Explicitly written as part of the fight to end colonialism in Africa, The Black Jacobins put the slaves themselves centre stage, boldly forging their own destiny against nearly impossible odds. It remains one of the essential texts for understanding the Caribbean - and the region's inextricable links with Europe, Africa and the Americas.]]> 416 C.L.R.

]]> The Vegetarian 27191166 Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9781846276033

Yeong-hye and her husband are ordinary people. He is an office worker with moderate ambitions and mild manners; she is an uninspired but dutiful wife. The acceptable flatline of their marriage is interrupted when Yeong-hye, seeking a more 'plant-like' existence, decides to become a vegetarian, prompted by grotesque recurring nightmares. In South Korea, where vegetarianism is almost unheard-of and societal mores are strictly obeyed, Yeong-hye's decision is a shocking act of subversion. Her passive rebellion manifests in ever more bizarre and frightening forms, leading her bland husband to self-justified acts of sexual sadism. His cruelties drive her towards attempted suicide and hospitalisation. She unknowingly captivates her sister's husband, a video artist. She becomes the focus of his increasingly erotic and unhinged artworks, while spiralling further and further into her fantasies of abandoning her fleshly prison and becoming - impossibly, ecstatically - a tree.

Fraught, disturbing and beautiful, The Vegetarian is a novel about modern day South Korea, but also a novel about shame, desire and our faltering attempts to understand others, from one imprisoned body to another.]]> 216 Han Kang Mir 0 3.64 2007 The Vegetarian

]]> <![CDATA[Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists During the Great Depression]]> 90004 Hammer and Hoe documents the efforts of the Alabama Communist Party and its allies to secure racial, economic, and political reforms. Sensitive to the complexities of gender, race, culture and class without compromising the political narrative, Robin Kelley illustrates one of the most unique and least understood radical movements in American history.

The Alabama Communist Party was built from scratch by working people who had no Euro-American radical political tradition. It was composed largely of poor blacks, most of whom were semiliterate and devoutly religious, but it also attracted a handful of whites, including unemployed industrial workers, iconoclastic youth, and renegade liberals. Kelley shows that the cultural identities of these people from Alabama's farms, factories, mines, kitchens, and city streets shaped the development of the Party. The result was a remarkably resilient movement forged in a racist world that had little tolerance for radicals.

In the South race pervaded virtually every aspect of Communist activity. And because the Party's call for voting rights, racial equality, equal wages for women, and land for landless farmers represented a fundamental challenge to the society and economy of the South, it is not surprising that Party organizers faced a constant wave of violence.

Kelley's analysis ranges broadly, examining such topics as the Party's challenge to black middle-class leadership; the social, ideological, and cultural roots of black working-class radicalism; Communist efforts to build alliances with Southern liberals; and the emergence of a left-wing, interracial youth movement. He closes with a discussion of the Alabama Communist Party's demise and its legacy for future civil rights activism.]]> 392 Robin D.G.

]]> <![CDATA[Hidden Hands: The Lives of Manuscripts and Their Makers]]> 59125668 ---
Mary Wellesley studied English Language and Literature at Lincoln College, Oxford, before gaining a PhD from University College, London in 2017. She is now a full time free-lance writer but continues to teach courses on medieval language and literature as part of the British Library's Adult Learning programme. Her work has appeared in The London Review of Books, The New York Review of Books and The Times Literary Supplement, amongst others.
---
This is an engaging and beautiful book - the engagement arising from the author's deep commitment to understanding the lives of medieval women and men, and the beauty from her ability to make us see and hear them talking about and living their experiences. It isn't just an introduction to literary manuscripts but also a series of glimpses of the extraordinary diversity of medieval lives. Mary Wellesley has taken jewels from our bibliographic treasures and placed them, carefully and with love, in the palm of the reader's hand -- Ian Mortimer

Mary Wellesley is a born storyteller and Hidden Hands is as good as historical writing gets. Wellesley draws on her deep scholarly knowledge of medieval manuscripts to weave a captivating tale, told through generations of 'tremulous hands' and forgotten artistic geniuses, whose works inform so much of what we know today about the Middle Ages. This is a sensational debut by a wonderfully gifted historian. -- Dan Jones, bestselling author of The Plantagenets and The Templars.

Their creators being largely anonymous, Medieval manuscripts tell their own stories in this Decameron of devotion and obsession, encryption and skullduggery, extravagance, destruction, and survival. The result is an unexpectedly swift page-turner on the era when pages were turned slowly. -- Eliot Weinberger, author of Angels & Saints

Hidden Hands shines with 'bibliophilic feeling.' With care forensic and literary, Wellesley reveals the traces of their history legible in the pores of the page and in the process provides a page-turner of her own. � Amaranth Borsuk, author of The Book

Mary Wellesley has written a most original book which is at once a vivid personal account of scholarly detective work and a model of how history might be taught now that there is easy electronic access to ancient manuscripts. She traces the precarious survival of the the earliest books, expounds with clarity the methods and purposes of authors, scribes, patrons, annotators and illustrators and speculates with sympathy on their motives. Hands (especially female ones) assume personalities, indeed voices which are recognisable even when alien - and often urgently appealing. -- Nicholas Penny

Authors may write their books, but they don''t make them. Here is the chance to meet the women and men who actually made the cathedrals and palaces of medieval English literature, from the St Cuthbert Gospel to the Luttrell Psalter, from Beowulf to Chaucer. Mary Wellesley tells us about the authors, but more important, she introduces us to the artists, the ink-makers, vellum preparers and pigment grinders - and all the others who contributed their different gifts to these great communal achievements. To read this book is to meet the makers of the English literary middle ages. -- Neil MacGregor

Hidden Hands is a delight - immersive, conversational, and intensely visual, full of gorgeous illustrations and shimmering description. Mary Wellesley explores the lives of medieval manuscripts, and the men and - importantly - women who made them, with deep learning and unmistakable love.

� Helen Castor

It is very seldom you read a book which offers gifts on every page, every paragraph, every sentence. I learned more, and was more delighted, reading Hidden Hands that the last dozen books I read. Her book brings you into the heart's core of literature and I loved it.

-- Andrew O'Hagan

In an age moving ever more quickly away from the physical book, Hidden Hands conjures up in vivid detail the pleasures of reading and making manuscripts. Mary Wellesley's joy in telling the stories of books long lost and found, and voices forgotten and recovered, is palpable on every page. I finished this book with a burning desire to get back to the archives.

-- Ramie Targoff, author of Renaissance Woman

Mary Wellesley brings early Britain alive with this exciting account of the hidden world of old manuscripts. Far from an arid examination of dusty parchments this is an exhilarating journey of discovery, full of new insights not least, as the title implies , the important but unrecognised role women played in political and religious life. A refreshing and original vision of who we once were.

-- David Dimbleby

With her richly detailed, personal, multi-layered and unexpected stories about manuscripts and their makers - scribes and patrons, illuminators and parchment-makers - Mary Wellesley brings vividly before us anonymous and forgotten figures, several of them women. Writing con amore, she celebrates the sensuous processes involved and chronicles the vicissitudes of the works' survival: this is a warm, enthralling and original contribution to the history of the book.

Lila gifts i stället bort vid 16 års ålder med Stefano Carracci, son till den mördade maffiabossen, Stefano som driver familjen Carraccis livsmedelsbutik med framgång i kvarteret. Elena, däremot, fortsätter sin utbildning, och drömmer om att skriva. Båda flickorna känner sig i hemlighet dragna till Nino Sarratore utan att de avslöjar något för varandra och blir därmed varandras rivaler. Nino växer också upp i hyreskasernen och är son till järnvägsarbetaren och poeten Donato Sarratore som en gång förfört änkan Melina Cappuccio men övergett henne varpå hon försökt ta sitt liv. Nino är studiebegåvad, men utan mål i livet eftersom han hatar sin far. Nino kommer så småningom att spela en avgörande roll i båda flickornas liv.

Elena Ferrantes storslagna romanepos i fyra delar om Lila och Elena tar sin början när de båda kvinnorna hunnit bli sextiosex år och Lila försvunnit spårlöst.

Aquinas (1224-74) lived at a time when the Christian West was opening up to a wealth of Greek and Islamic philosophical speculation. An embodiment of the thirteenth-century ideal of a unified interpretation of reality (in which philosophy and theology work together in harmony), Aquinas was remarkable for the way in which he used and developed this legacy of ancient thought - an achievement which led his contemporaries to regard him as an advanced thinker. Father Copleston's lucid and stimulating book examines this extraordinary man - whose influence is perhaps greater today than in his own lifetime - and his thought, relating his ideas wherever possible to problems as they are discussed today.]]> 272 Frederick Charles Copleston 0140136746 Mir 0 4.24 1955 Aquinas

]]> <![CDATA[Evil in Modern Thought: An Alternative History of Philosophy]]> 161812
Examining our understanding of evil from the Inquisition to contemporary terrorism, Neiman explores who we've become in the three centuries since the early Enlightenment. In the process, she rewrites the history of modern thought and points philosophy back to the questions that originally animated it. Whether expressed in theological or secular terms, evil poses a problem about the world's intelligibility. It confronts philosophy with fundamental questions: Can there be meaning in a world where innocents suffer? Can belief in divine power or progress survive a cataloging of evil? Is evil profound or banal?

Neiman argues that these questions impelled modern philosophy. Traditional philosophers from Leibniz to Hegel sought to defend the Creator of a world containing evil. Inevitably, their efforts--combined with those of more literary figures like Pope, Voltaire and the Marquis de Sade--eroded belief in God's benevolence, power & relevance, until Nietzsche claimed He'd been murdered. They also yielded the distinction between natural and moral evil that we now take for granted. Neiman turns to consider philosophy's response to the Holocaust as a final moral evil, concluding that two basic stances run through modern thought. One, from Rousseau to Arendt, insists that morality demands we make evil intelligible. The other, from Voltaire to Adorno, insists that morality demands that we don't.

Beautifully written and thoroughly engaging, this book tells the history of modern philosophy as an attempt to come to terms with evil. It reintroduces philosophy to anyone interested in questions of life and death, good and evil, suffering and sense.]]> 384 Susan Neiman 0691117926 Mir 0 4.03 2002 Evil in Modern Thought: An Alternative History of Philosophy

]]> <![CDATA[Heidegger in Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology]]> 60747342 Ěý
Martin Heidegger’s sympathies for the conservative revolution and National Socialism have long been well known. As the rector of the University of Freiburg in the early 1930s, he worked hard to reshape the university in accordance with National Socialist policies. He also engaged in an all-out struggle to become the movement’s philosophical preceptor, “to lead the leader.� Yet for years, Heidegger’s defenders have tried to separate his political beliefs from his philosophical doctrines. They argued, in effect, that he was good at philosophy but bad at politics. But with the 2014 publication of Heidegger’s Black Notebooks , it has become clear that he embraced a far more radical vision of the conservative revolution than previously suspected. His dissatisfaction with National Socialism, it turns out, was mainly that it did not go far enough. The notebooks show that far from being separated from Nazism, Heidegger’s philosophy was suffused with it. In this book Richard Wolin explores what the notebooks mean for our understanding of arguably the most important philosopher of the twentieth century, and of his ideas—and why his legacy remains radically compromised.]]> 488 Richard Wolin 0300233183 Mir 0 3.98 Heidegger in Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology

]]> <![CDATA[Magisteria: The Entangled Histories of Science & Religion]]> 61272648
Most things you â€knowâ€� about science and religion are myths or half-truths that grew up in the last years of the nineteenth century and remain widespread today.

The true history of science and religion is a human one. It’s about the role of religion in inspiring, and strangling, science before the scientific revolution. It’s about the sincere but eccentric faith and the quiet, creeping doubts of the most brilliant scientists in history � Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Darwin, Maxwell, Einstein. Above all it’s about the question of what it means to be human and who gets to say � a question that is more urgent in the twenty-first century than ever before.

From eighth-century Baghdad to the frontiers of AI today, via medieval Europe, nineteenth-century India and Soviet Russia, Magisteria sheds new light on this complex historical landscape. Rejecting the thesis that science and religion are inevitably at war, Nicholas Spencer illuminates a compelling and troubled relationship that has definitively shaped human history.]]> 480 Nicholas Spencer 0861544617 Mir 0 3.96 Magisteria: The Entangled Histories of Science & Religion

]]> <![CDATA[Garro: Weapon of Fate (The Horus Heresy, #42)]]> 32860806 The Horus Heresy Book 42

Death Guard. Battle-Captain. Knight Errant. Agentia Primus. Hero. Nathaniel Garro's journey has been long and hard and now, you can read it all in one book, embellished and expanded from the original audio dramas.

READ IT BECAUSE
Garro hasn't reached the end of his journey quite yet � the Siege of Terra awaits him � but for the very first time, you can read his entire saga in a single volume, from his first mission as an agent of the Sigillite to his decision to break away and seek his own destiny.



THE STORY
From out of the shadows of the Silent War, a hero emerges. Clad all in grey, an errant warrior of the Legiones Astartes kneels before the Regent of Terra, and accepts a solemn new duty � Battle-Captain Garro, once commander of the Eisenstein, now Agentia Primus of Malcador the Sigillite. From the desolation of Isstvan to the halls of the Imperial Palace itself, he stands as a paragon of loyalty and protector of the innocent, ever ready to strike back at the traitorous allies of the Warmaster. But Garro is walking a path of his own, one that may lead him to question his own place in the Imperium... and what if he, too, should falter?

This book contains James Swallow’s complete saga of Nathaniel Garro in the Horus Heresy � the audio drama series is embellished and expanded in prose, with additional scenes to represent the author’s original vision. This all serves as prelude to the events of the novella Vow of Faith, bringing Garro closer to his inescapable destiny as the first true martyr of the Lectitio Divinitatus.

Recalled from the Great Crusade after Ullanor, Rogal Dorn and the VIIth Legion were appointed as the Emperor’s praetorians � but only after the Warmaster’s treachery was revealed did the full extent of that sacred duty become apparent. Now, the Solar System comes under attack for the first time since the war began, and many of the seemingly impregnable defences wrought by the Imperial Fists prove inadequate. With all eyes fixed firmly upon this new threat beyond the gates of Terra, who in turn will protect Dorn from the enemy within?

At last, Rogal Dorn and the VII Legion take centre stage in a Horus Heresy novel! And it's a doozy, as the assault on the Solar System begins. Or does it?]]> 478 John French 1784964379 Mir 0 4.08 2017 Praetorian of Dorn (The Horus Heresy, #39)

But when word comes of the Night Lords� attack on Sotha, the Lion’s brutal actions bring Imperium Secundus once again to the brink of civil war. Not even the most fearsome warriors of the Dreadwing, nor any arcane secret of the Order, can guarantee victory if he sets himself against his loyal brothers.

]]> <![CDATA[The Silent War (The Horus Heresy, #37)]]> 28956064
While loyalist and traitor forces clash on a thousand battlefields across the galaxy, a very different kind of war is being fought in the shadows � a war of subtlety and subterfuge, unknown to many, but one that surely holds the key to victory for either side. Rogal Dorn and his Legion prepare to defend the Solar System against the armies of Warmaster Horus, even as Malcador the Sigillite charges his many agents and spies with missions of the utmost secrecy. The future of the Imperium is being shaped by unseen hands...

The mysterious Malcador the Sigillite and his secretive minions take centre stage in a collection of short stories � plus one novella � that expand the Horus Heresy into the darkness with thrilling tales of subterfuge and treachery, many of them in print for the first time.

Only once their primarch, Jaghatai Khan, had satisfied himself that the path before them was just and true did the White Scars choose a side, taking the fight to the traitors on every front. But, four years later, the Legion’s unfettered spirit has been broken by relentless attritional warfare against the Death Guard and the Emperor’s Children � the Khan’s Stormseers must find a clear route to Terra if they are to take part in the final, apocalyptic battle.

]]> <![CDATA[Exclusion and Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation]]> 9486
Increasingly we see that exclusion has become the primary sin, skewing our perceptions of reality and causing us to react out of fear and anger to all those who are not within our (ever-narrowing) circle. In light of this, Christians must learn that salvation comes, not only as we are reconciled to God, and not only as we "learn to live with one another," but as we take the dangerous and costly step of opening ourselves to the other, of enfolding him or her in the same embrace with which we have been enfolded by God.

Is there any hope of embracing our enemies? Of opening the door to reconciliation? Miroslav Volf, a Yale University theologian, has won the 2002 Louisville Grawemeyer Award in Religion for his book, Exclusion & Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation (Abingdon, 1996). Volf argues that exclusion of people who are alien or different is among the most intractable problems in the world today. He writes, It may not be too much to claim that the future of our world will depend on how we deal with identity and difference. The issue is urgent. The ghettos and battlefields throughout the world in the living rooms, in inner cities, or on the mountain ranges testify indisputably to its importance. A Croatian by birth, Volf takes as a starting point for his analysis the recent civil war and ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia, but he readily finds other examples of cultural, ethnic, and racial conflict to illustrate his points. And, since September 11, one can scarcely help but plug the new world players into his incisive descriptions of the dynamics of interethnic and international strife.

Exclusion happens, Volf argues, wherever impenetrable barriers are set up that prevent a creative encounter with the other. It is easy to assume that exclusion is the problem or practice of barbarians who live over there, but Volf persuades us that exclusion is all too often our practice here as well. Modern western societies, including American society, typically recite their histories as narratives of inclusion, and Volf celebrates the truth in these narratives. But he points out that these narratives conveniently omit certain groups who disturb the integrity of their happy ending plots. Therefore such narratives of inclusion invite long and gruesome counter-narratives of exclusion the brutal histories of slavery and of the decimation of Native American populations come readily to mind, but more current examples could also be found.

Most proposed solutions to the problem of exclusion have focused on social arrangements what kind of society ought we to create in order to accommodate individual or communal difference? Volf focuses, rather, on what kind of selves we need to be in order to live in harmony with others. In addressing the topic, Volf stresses the social implications of divine self-giving. The Christian scriptures attest that God does not abandon the godless to their evil, but gives of Godself to bring them into communion. We are called to do likewise whoever our enemies and whoever we may be. The divine mandate to embrace as God has embraced is summarized in Paul’s injunction to the Romans: Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you (Romans 15:7).

Susan R. Garrett, Coordinator of the Religion Award, said that the Grawemeyer selection committee praised Volf s book on many counts. These included its profound interpretation of certain pivotal passages of Scripture and its brilliant engagement with contemporary theology, philosophy, critical theory, and feminist theory. Volf s focus is not on social strategies or programs but, rather, on showing us new ways to understand ourselves and our relation to our enemies. He helps us to imagine new possibilities for living against violence, injustice, and deception. Garrett added that, although addressed primarily to Christians, Volf's theological statement opens itself to religious pluralism by upholding the importance of different religious and cultural traditions for the formation of personal and group identity. The call to embrace the other is never a call to remake the other into one s own image. Volf who had just delivered a lecture on the topic of Exclusion and Embrace at a prayer breakfast for the United Nations when the first hijacked plane hit the World Trade Center will present a lecture and receive his award in Louisville during the first week of April, 2002.

The annual Religion Award, which includes a cash prize of $200,000, is given jointly by Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary and the University of Louisville to the authors or originators of creative works that contribute significantly to an understanding of the relationship between human beings and the divine, and ways in which this relationship may inspire or empower human beings to attain wholeness, integrity, or meaning, either individually or in community. The Grawemeyer awards given also by the University of Louisville in the fields of musical composition, education, psychology, and world order honor the virtue of accessibility: works chosen for the awards must be comprehensible to thinking persons who are not specialists in the various fields."]]> 306 Miroslav Volf 0687002826 Mir 0 4.30 1996 Exclusion and Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation

]]> <![CDATA[Christians and Their Many Identities in Late Antiquity, North Africa, 200-450 CE]]> 15863613
In Christians and Their Many Identities in Late Antiquity, North Africa, 200 450 CE, Eric Rebillard explores how Christians in North Africa between the age of Tertullian and the age of Augustine were selective in identifying as Christian, giving salience to their religious identity only intermittently. By shifting the focus from groups to individuals, Rebillard more broadly questions the existence of bounded, stable, and homogeneous groups based on Christianness. In emphasizing that the intermittency of Christianness is structurally consistent in the everyday life of Christians from the end of the second to the middle of the fifth century, this book opens a whole range of new questions for the understanding of a crucial period in the history of Christianity."]]> 144 Eric Rebillard 0801451426 Mir 0 3.29 2012 Christians and Their Many Identities in Late Antiquity, North Africa, 200-450 CE
