Book excerpt: »Das Aufregendste im Fantasygenre seit Harry Potter« Denis Scheck 1828. Robin Swift, den ein Cholera-Ausbruch im chinesischen Kanton als Waisenjungen zurücklässt, wird von dem geheimnisvollen Professor Lovell nach London gebracht. Dort lernt er jahrelang Latein, Altgriechisch und Chinesisch, um sich auf den Tag vorzubereiten, an dem er in das Königliche Institut für Übersetzung der Universität Oxford - auch bekannt als Babel - aufgenommen werden soll. Oxford ist das Zentrum allen Wissens und Fortschritts in der Welt. Für Robin erfüllt sich ein Traum, an dem Ort zu studieren, der die ganze Macht des britischen Empire verkörpert. Denn in Babel wird nicht nur Übersetzung gelehrt, sondern auch Magie. Das Silberwerk - die Kunst, die in der Übersetzung verloren gegangene Bedeutung mithilfe von verzauberten Silberbarren zu manifestieren - hat die Briten zu unvergleichlichem Einfluss gebracht. Dank dieser besonderen Magie hat das Empire große Teile der Welt kolonisiert. Für Robin ist Oxford eine Utopie, die dem Streben nach Wissen gewidmet ist. Doch Wissen gehorcht Macht, und als chinesischer Junge, der in Großbritannien aufgewachsen ist, erkennt Robin, dass es Verrat an seinem Mutterland bedeutet, Babel zu dienen. Im Laufe seines Studiums gerät Robin zwischen Babel und den zwielichtigen Hermes-Bund, eine Organisation, die die imperiale Expansion stoppen will. Als Großbritannien einen ungerechten Krieg mit China um Silber und Opium führt, muss Robin sich für eine Seite entscheiden ... Aber kann ein Student gegen ein Imperium bestehen? Der spektakuläre Roman der preisgekrönten Autorin Rebecca F. Kuang über die Magie der Sprache, die Gewalt des Kolonialismus und die Opfer des Widerstands.

Download or read book Babel written by Gaston Dorren and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you were to master the twenty languages discussed in Babel, you could talk with three quarters of the world's population. But what makes these languages stand out amid the world's estimated 6,500 tongues? Gaston Dorren delves deep into the linguistic oddities and extraordinary stories of these diverse lingua francas, tracing their origins and their sometimes bloody rise to greatness. He deciphers their bewildering array of scripts, presents the gems and gaps in their vocabularies and charts their coinages and loans. He even explains how their grammars order their speakers' worldview. Combining linguistics and cultural history, Babel takes us on an intriguing tour of the world, addressing such questions as how tiny Portugal spawned a major world language and Holland didn't, why Japanese women talk differently from men, what it means for Russian to be 'related' to English, and how non-alphabetic scripts, such as those of India and China, do the same job as our 26 letters. Not to mention the conundrums of why Vietnamese has four forms for 'I', or how Tamil pronouns keep humans and deities apart. Babel will change the way you look at the world and how we all speak.

Download or read book The New Babel written by Leonard Schwartz and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Babel: Toward a Poetics of the Mid-East Crises evokes and investigates—from a Jewish American perspective and in the forms of poetry, essays, and interviews—the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, America’s involvement as both perpetrator and victim of events in the Middle East and Afghanistan, and the multiple ways that poetics can respond to political imperatives. The poems range from the immediately lyrical to the experimental forms of the “Apple Anyone Sonnets” series, which relies heavily on the Arabic but has Shakespeare as its scaffolding. In the essays, Schwartz calls on the power of poetry—and of some of the great poets in the Arabic, Jewish, and American traditions—to help rethink the battle lines of the contemporary Mid-East, with the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber looming large. The interviews provide Schwartz’s discussions with Israeli poet and activist Aharon Shabtai, political philosopher Michael Hardt, and the late, great American poet Amiri Baraka. In these creative, analytical, and conversational moments, Leonard Schwartz rethinks the battle lines of the contemporary Middle East and calls on the power of language as the essence of our humanity, endlessly fluid, but also the source of an intentional confusion there is a necessity to counter.
Download or read book Tower of Babel written by Bodie Hodge and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tower of Babel: The Cultural History of Our Ancestors reveals our shared ancestry as never before! Many are familiar with the Biblical account of Babel, but after the dispersal, there was a void beyond Biblical history until empires like Rome and Greece arose. Now, discover the truth of these people groups and their civilizations that spread across the earth and trace their roots back to Babel as well as to the sons and grandsons of Noah. Many of today’s scholars write off what occurred at the Tower of Babel as mythology and deny that it was a historical event. Beginning with the Biblical accounts, author Bodie Hodge researched ancient texts, critical clues, and rare historic records to help solve the mystery of what became of the failed builders of Babel. For the purpose of defending the Bible, Hodge presents these and other vital historical facts surrounding this much-debated event. Teens and older can use this layman’s reference for Biblical classes, ancient history, apologetics training, and to realize their own cultural connection to the Bible.

Download or read book The New Babel written by Rafael M. Juvida and published by Ukiyoto Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You almost feel like you are flying when you are already falling.” - RJM. Why are we building a tower? The answer comes from the depths of human curiosity and our thirst for new discoveries. More than ever before in human history, the development of technology has skyrocketed and continues to do so today. The 21st century will witness the return of the human race to the Moon, as well as the first steps humans will take on Mars. This fast-paced development and innovation in the technological sense must be met with caution. In The New Babel, we will have the chance to deeply reflect and rethink what we need to do in the future. We must understand our limitations, so we can not just survive, but also thrive. Modern thinking that there are no boundaries or ends to the world runs the risk of colliding with this obstinate truth. Humanity has the task of learning how to create a sustainable future in the face of challenges to its long-term survival and reconnect to the divine purpose it once had. Is it true that “humans have that potential to destroy themselves?” Or is there a way for us to avoid it from happening? This book will be a guide to the present and even for those future humans on how they could live their life to the fullest without affecting the complex and intricate life on Earth, and enable them to preserve it for their descendants.
