Download or read book Was Achilles a Jew? written by Larry S. Milner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-01-14 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant interest has always existed about the origin of Classic Greek culture, but despite the long-standing attention, scholars continue to disagree on where this amazing civilization got its start. The Mycenaeans were the earliest Greek-speaking people on the mainland, but the country entered a Dark Age following the end of the Trojan War, and in the Archaic Age which followed, the fundamentals of Greek political and literary thought suddenly emerged, without a clear source of derivation. Historians have sometimes given credit to the Egyptians, Phoenicians, or other Eastern civilizations for this evolution, but no serious consideration has been given to the ancient Hebrews, despite the fact that the Exodus from Egypt took place during the Late Bronze Age, when Mycenae was at its peak of influence in the Mediterranean Basin. In Was Achilles a Jew? Hebraic Origins to Greek Civilization, Dr. Larry Milner argues that a group of Hebrews devoted to the traditions of the patriarchs left the Exodus following the parricidal reprisals instituted by Moses during the modification of Judaism into a monotheistic faith, and migrated to Mycenae, where they became immersed into Mycenaean culture, taking part in the Trojan War. His analysis provides the most persuasive argument to date about where the Eastern influence in Greece was generated.

Book Synopsis Neither With Them, Nor Without Them by : Elena M. Katz
Download or read book Neither With Them, Nor Without Them written by Elena M. Katz and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2008-05-02 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debates over the Jewish theme in Russian literature have been long dominated by the old dichotomy between anti and philo-Semitic discourses. Rather than analyzing “the image of the Jew” in terms of negative or positive characteristics, and branding the authors respectively, as anti- or philo-Semitic, the author explores the complexity and the ambiguity of the construction of Jewishness as the “Other” in the works of three of Russia’s greatest nineteenth-century authors. Katz identifies Gogol, Dostoevsky and Turgenev as creators of special modes of the emerging Jewish discourse in Russian literature. She tackles the traditionally read tropes of Jews in light of both sociohistoric and cultural contexts of the time and the writers’ own politics and aesthetics.

Book Synopsis Embodied Differences by : Henrietta Mondry
Download or read book Embodied Differences written by Henrietta Mondry and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the ways in which literary works and cultural discourses employ the construct of the Jew’s body in relation to the material world in order either to establish and reinforce, or to subvert and challenge, dominant cultural norms and stereotypes. It examines the use of physical characteristics, embodied practices, tacit knowledge and senses to define the body taxonomically as normative, different, abject or mimetically desired. Starting from the works of Gogol and Dostoevsky through to contemporary Russian-Jewish women’s writing, broadening the scope to examining the role of objects, museum displays and the politics of heritage food, the book argues that materiality can embody fictional constructions that should be approached on a culture-specific basis.
Book Synopsis Profane Challenge and Orthodox Response in Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" by : Janet G. Tucker
Download or read book Profane Challenge and Orthodox Response in Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" written by Janet G. Tucker and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2008 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Profane Challenge and Orthodox Response in Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment presents for the first time an examination of this great novel as a work aimed at winning back “target readers”, young contemporary radicals, from Utilitarianism, nihilism, and Utopian Socialism. Dostoevsky framed the battle in the context of the Orthodox Church and oral tradition versus the West. He relied on knowledge of the Gospels as textreceived orally, forcing readers to react emotionally, not rationally, and thus undermining the very basis of his opponents' arguments. Dostoevsky saves Raskol'nikov, underscoring the inadequacy of rational thought and reminding his readers of a heritage discarded at their peril. This volume should be of special interest to secondary and university students, as well as to readers interested in literature, particularly, in Russian literature, and Dostoevsky.
Book Synopsis Hebraic Influences On Greek Civilization by : Larry S. Milner
Download or read book Hebraic Influences On Greek Civilization written by Larry S. Milner and published by Mazo Publishers. This book was released on 2015-08-02 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to the view of many historians and scholars, it is the position of Dr. Larry S. Milner, MD, JD, MLS, that the primary source for the Eastern influence in ancient Greece was from the early Jews, rather than the Phoenician or Egyptian cultures. The author presents cogent evidence in this book to substantiate his position that a breakaway group from the Hebrew Exodus migrated to Mycenae in the Mediterranean basin and became influential as they immersed in the Greek culture. "Pay attention to the citations I present to you in this book. I believe that you will see that there is no question that the Classical Greek civilization was incredibly influenced by a group of staunch Hebrew emigrants, who believed in the teachings of their ancestors, and transmitted that faith to their neighbors and descendants straight through into the Classical Greek Age."
