Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctor Zhivago / До́ктор Жива́го - An Epic Novel This is a epic tale about the effects of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath on a bourgeois family. The novel is named after its protagonist, Yuri Zhivago, a physician and poet, and takes place between the Russian Revolution of 1905 and World War II. Dr. Yury Zhivago, Pasternak's alter ego, is a poet, philosopher, and physician whose life is disrupted by the war and by his love for Lara, the wife of a revolutionary. His artistic nature makes him vulnerable to the brutality and harshness of the Bolsheviks. The poems he writes constitute some of the most beautiful writing featured in the novel - which I can confirm, having read the book some 20 years ago: ) The story of 'Doctor Zhivago' is about a complex psychological and detailed panorama of people; their feelings, relationships and companionship spanning several decades. In fact, the two main protagonists in the story - Lara and Yuri Zhivago - are quite unpolitical, and very gentle souls, who would not hurt a fly. In a time where Russian society is marked by great political turmoil, war and oppression, Lara and Yuri Zhivago stand out in this story; both having a great gift for healing people. Zhivago is a skilled physician and Lara a skilled nurse (a great Angel of Healing) - which Russia needed desperately during those times, due to the tremendous suffering. So the two of them make a great team; both of them being contributing greatly to healing Mother Russia: ) Indeed, Russia still needs a lot of healing today. In my opinion, the most tragic failing of today's Russia is that even though Russia is a highly intellectualized society, Russia has regressed into the dark cave of a military dictatorship - where academics, lawyers and opposition leaders are persecuted. This must change - so that the People of Russia can restore Peace and Friendship with their Brothers and Sisters in Ukraine; and also for the sake of future generations in Russia - so that academics, lawyers and opposition leaders can speak their mind, and be allowed to participate in shaping Russia's future. We encourage the People of Russia to implement a peaceful governmental change by forming a new Russian Government - so that Peace and Human Rights can be restored. Love and Light / Президент Российской Федерации / POTUS / UNITED NATIONS / EU / AU / Mark: ) PS: I also would be quite happy to drink a Водка together with my dear friend Vladimir Putin, once he has resigned: )

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Hungry Tide' (2004) by Amitav Ghosh Set in the Sundarbans, this novel is about an unlikely trio who travel up river together to find the rare Irrawaddy Dolphin. Off the easternmost coast of India, in the Bay of Bengal, lies the immense labyrinth of tiny islands known as the Sundarbans. For settlers here, life is precarious: attacks by deadly tigers are common, and the threat of eviction and consequent social unrest is ever present. Without warning, at any time, tidal floods rise and surge over the land, leaving devastation in their wake. In this place of vengeful beauty, the lives of three people from different worlds collide. The novel also explores topics such as humanism and environmentalism, especially when they come into conflict. The novel won the 2004 Crossword Book Prize. Saswat S. Das discussed the book as exploring themes of "home" and "homelessness" in a 2006 article in Indian Literature. The Morichjhanpi massacre of 1978-79, when the government of West Bengal forcibly evicted thousands of Bengali refugees who had settled on the island, forms a background for some parts of the novel. Indeed, my dear friend, the Goddess Kali - who holds sway over both Humanity and the Environment in India - found this novel to be very entertaining and factual about India: ) Especially the methods to harmonize Humanism and Environmentalism were described very accurately - so that People, Dolphins, Crocodiles, and man-eating Tigers can live in Peace and Harmony with each other: ) On that note, we would like to remind all People in India, that Human Evolution is a constant in the Universe. Just like imperialism had to make way for Liberty and Social Justice, so will inequality and classism make way for Equality, Equity, Prosperity and Human Rights in India. We would like to remind all People in the International Community, that the importance of belonging to Humankind takes precedence over all the marks of distinction that may separate one person from another. The thing that matters most is not that we have any particular cultural or national identity, or that we abide by any particular religion or philosophical conviction, but that we share with all People the highest values of Humanity: Love, Cooperation and Compassion. Love and Light, Mark - BTB-Global Peacebuilding / विष्णु - दुर्गा - कृष्ण PS: The combination of grace, strength, agility and enormous power has earned the Irrawaddy Dolphin her pride of place as the national animal of India: )

Book excerpt: Led by their visionary strength, the disciples are on the quest of finding the legendary Cosmic Jewel, which is believed to bring peace between the Zimraque and the Arlanian people. Their journey leads them into Doracheon, a sister city of the Arlanian Empire, ruled by the immortal Matriarch, Queen Caetherra, who is believed to use dark necromancy to uphold the might of their subterranean kingdom. Alastryr, Eulalayio and Wempos are resolved to end the rule of Caetherra, but Uranity opposes them, and a bitter battle for the control of Doracheon begins... Anise and Sirina, the other other disciples, decide to join forces with the Arlanian High Priestesses, Thephar-Ka and Hecate, resuming their quest for the Cosmic Jewel. But to find it, they must get to the Ether; the only way for them to get there being the Aquatix Vortex in the Sitarrean Sea, a maelstrom of death, from which nobody has been known to return...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the political ground beneath the Middle East has shifted. Arab nationalism the political orthodoxy for most of this century has lost its grip on the imagination and allegiance of a new generation. At the same time, Islam as an ideology has spread across the region, and "Islamists" bid to capture the center of politics. Most Western scholars and experts once hailed the redemptive power of Arabism. Arab Awakening and Islamic Revival is a critical assessment of the contradictions of Arab nationalism and Islamic fundamentalism, and the misrepresentation of both in the West. The first part of the book argues that Arab nationalism--the so-called Arab awakening--bore within it the seeds of its own failure. Arabism as an idea drew upon foreign sources and resources. Even as it claimed to liberate the Arabs from imperialism it deepened intellectual dependence upon the West's own romanticism and radicalism. Ultimately, Arab nationalism became a force of oppression rather than liberation, and a mirror image of the imperialism it defied. Kramer's essays together form the only chronological telling and the at fully documented postmortem of Arabism. The second part of the book examines the similar failings of Islamism, whose ideas are Islamic reworkings of Western ideological radicalism. Its effect has been to give new life to old rationales for oppression, authoritarianism, and sectarian division. Arab Awakening and Islamic Revival provides an alternative view of a century of Middle Eastern history. As the region moves fitfully past ideology, Kramer's perspective is more compelling than at any time in the past-in Western academe no less than among many in the Middle. This book will be of interest to sociologists, political scientists, economists, and Middle East specialists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike a conventional war waged against a standing army, a "dirty war" is waged against individuals, groups, or ideas considered subversive. Originally associated with Argentina's military regime from 1976-1983, the term has since been applied to neighboring dictatorships during the period. Indeed, it has become a byword for state-sponsored repression anywhere in the world. The first edition of this reference illustrated the concept by describing the regimes of Argentina, Chile (1973-1990), and Uruguay (1973-1985), which tortured, murdered, and disappeared thousands of people in the name of anticommunism while thousands more were driven into exile. The second edition expands the scope to include Bolivia (1971-1982), Brazil (1964-1985), and Paraguay (1954-1989). Includes a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on the countries; guerrilla and political movements; prominent guerrilla, human-rights, military, and political figures; local, regional, and international human-rights organizations; and artistic figures (filmmakers, novelists, and playwrights) whose works attempt to represent or resist the period of repression.--Publisher.

Book excerpt: A Chronicle of the Last Pagans is a history of the triumph of Christianity in the Roman Empire as told from the perspective of the defeated: the adherents of the mysteries, cults, and philosophies that dominated Greco-Roman culture. With a sovereign command of the diverse evidence, Pierre Chuvin portrays the complex spiritual, intellectual, and political lives of professing pagans after Christianity became the state religion. While recreating the unfolding drama of their fate--their gradual loss of power, exclusion from political, military, and civic positions, their assimilation, and finally their persecution--he records a remarkable persistence of pagan religiosity and illustrates the fruitful interaction between Christianity and paganism. The author points to the implications of this late paganism for subsequent developments in the Byzantine Empire and the West. Chuvin's compelling account of an often forgotten world of pagan culture rescues an important aspect of our spiritual heritage and provides new understanding of Late Antiquity.

Book excerpt: For Italian city builders more than a thousand years ago, the urban realm was the great theater where their best aspirations were played out, the place where society said the most substantial things about who they were and what they longed for. In this masterful blend of art and cultural history, architect David Mayernik reveals how the very different cities of Venice, Rome, Florence, Siena, and Pienza were all literally designed to be both models of the mind and images of heaven. Mayernik takes the reader on a journey into the past in Timeless Cities, but he also explains why these city-building ideas remain relevant today. For those travelling on vacation or appreciating the art and architecture of Italy from home, Mayernik helps bring the wonder and beauty of the Renaissance mind a little closer.

Book excerpt: The field of Middle East studies is undergoing a generational change in academia, government, and the corporate community. The men and women who trained the present generation of scholars and who shaped government and corporate policies toward the Middle East after World War II have begun to retire, and unfortunately some have recently died. To preserve their insights into the past and their visions of the future, Thomas Naff asked a number of major Islamic and Middle East scholars to provide their perspectives and views in a short, personal summation of their careers. This book is a compilation of their responses. It provides a unique evaluation of the last 30 or 40 years by ten of the most distinguished pioneers representing key branches of the field. Pierre Cachia, Albert Hourani, J.C. Hurewitz, Halil Inalcik, Charles Issawi, Ernest McCarus, George Makdisi, Don Peretz, Dankwart A. Rustow, and Farhat J. Ziadeh have provided their perspectives on the past and present, their visions of future paths to be explored, and their wisdom drawn from decades of experience and scholarship. Whatever didacticism is offered in this book is not formal. Lessons, insights, wisdom, and inspiration are almost invisibly woven into the fabric of fascinating biographical narrative told with wit, style, self-effacement, and candor.

This book was released on 2013-12-28 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emulation is a challenging middle ground between imitation and invention. The idea of rivaling by means of imitation, as old as the Aenead and as modern as Michelangelo, fit neither the pessimistic deference of the neoclassicists nor the revolutionary spirit of the Romantics. Emulation thus disappeared along with the Renaissance humanist tradition, but it is slowly being recovered in the scholarship of Roman art. It remains to recover emulation for the Renaissance itself, and to revivify it for modern practice. Mayernik argues that it was the absence of a coherent understanding of emulation that fostered the fissuring of artistic production in the later eighteenth century into those devoted to copying the past and those interested in continual novelty, a situation solidified over the course of the nineteenth century and mostly taken for granted today. This book is a unique contribution to our understanding of the historical phenomenon of emulation, and perhaps more importantly a timely argument for its value to contemporary practice.

Book excerpt: ‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.

Book excerpt: The Art of the Crusaders in the Holy Land, 1098-1187 examines the art and architecture produced for the Crusaders in Syria-Palestine during the first century of their quest to recapture Jerusalem. Commissioned by kings and queens, patriarchs and bishops, knights and merchants, who came as pilgrims or settlers to the Holy Land, it is an art of manuscript illumination, fresco painting, mosaics, stone sculpture, metalwork, ivory carving, coins and seals by artists trained in the Latin West, and the Byzantine and Islamic East. Combining the stylistic and iconographic traditions of these regions, Crusader art defies easy categorization: indeed, it is a unique phenomenon within the spectrum of medieval art.
