Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Esther and Harbonah Nearly forty years have passed since I wrote this play. I wrote it for my young people, for the cause of religious Loyalty, to keep them strong therein. To-day other problems are forced upon our attention, some of them emphasized by the great War. Among them are social and religious questions, such as religious loyalty which keeps Protestant sects apart from each other, antagonizes Catholic, Greek Church and Protestant, and frowns upon intermarriage. Religious loyalty is one of the chief features of the Bible-book upon which this play is based. Hence the condemnation of intermarriage in two scenes of the play. And it is highly probable that the racial, social and religious asperities, prejudices, hatreds, etc., which will naturally be the aftermath of the present War, will bring forward the problem of removal of Jewish disabilities in lands where disabilities exist, and above all, the question, "Who shall have Palestine," when the future of Syria shall engage the great Power's attention. Hence Harbonah's earnest championship of the Jewish people, and his presentation of the high ideals of law and order, love, chastity and industry, for which the Jews have stood throughout all the centuries, thus earning the right to receive the consideration of the world. Religious growths, thought-growths, all growths, must vary. Variation is God's own Law. There is room for all, provided they injure not. There is something good and something useful in all. Our problem is to e-ducate, i. e., lead it out. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Esther written by Jonathan Grossman and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2011-06-23 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using narrative devices such as allusions and free associations, multivalent expressions, and irony, the author of Esther wrote a story that is about a Jewish woman, Esther, during the time of the Persian exile of Yehudites, and the Persian king, Ahasuerus, who was in power at the time. At various junctures, the author also used secret writing, or we could say that he conveys mixed messages: one is a surface message, but another, often conflicting message lies beneath the surface. For instance, the outer portrayal of the king as one of the main protagonists is an ironic strategy used by the author to highlight the king’s impotent, indecisive, “antihero” status. He may wield authority—as symbolized by his twice-delegated signet ring—but he remains powerless. Among all the concealments in the story, the concealment of God stands out as the most prominent and influential example. A growing number of scholars regard the book of Esther as a “comic diversion,” the function and intention of which are to entertain the reader. However, Grossman is more convinced by Mikhail Bakhtin’s approach, and he labels his application of this approach to the reading of Esther as “theological carnivalesque.” Bakhtin viewed the carnival (or the carnivalesque genre) as a challenge by the masses to the governing establishment and to accepted social conventions. He described the carnival as an eruption of ever-present but suppressed popular sentiments. The connection between the story of Esther and Bakhtin’s characterization of the carnivalesque in narrative is evident especially in the book of Esther’s use of the motifs of “reversal” and “transformation.” For example, the young girl Esther is transformed from an exiled Jewess into a queen in one of the turnabouts that characterize the narrative. Many more examples are provided in this analysis of one of the Bible’s most fascinating books.

After months of preparation, the girl known to the Persians as Esther wins the king's heart and a queen's crown.

This book was released on 2017-03-13 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a thematic study of an integral part of the Hebrew text of Esther, namely, violence. In The Dynamics of Violence and Revenge in the Hebrew Book of Esther, Francisco-Javier Ruiz-Ortiz makes the first ever monographic research on the topics of hostility and the mechanisms of revenge as expressed by the author of the Hebrew book of Esther. The present book is divided into two parts consisting of three chapters each. After an introductory chapter reviewing previous studies on the book of Esther, the author analyses the main vocabulary of violence and revenge in this biblical text before studying the narrative of Esther from the point of view of violence. The results of these two avenues of research are then applied on three pericopes which are representative of the dynamics of violence. Each of the chosen texts illustrates how violence and revenge are used by the author to express the message of survival and the importance of the Jewish people.

She finds a world racked by intrigue and unfathomable hatreds and realizes that the only way to survive is to win the heart of its king. Passionate, suspenseful, and historically authentic, The Gilded Chamber illuminates the dilemma of a woman torn between her heart and her sense of duty, resulting in pure narrative enchantment.
