Spalona Żywcem Wyd. Kieszonkowe - Souad

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Pierwsze na świecie świadectwo ofiary zbrodni honorowej. Miała siedemnaście lat i zakochała się: zhańbiła rodzinę. Więc rodzina wydała na nią wyrok śmierci... Pokochała go pierwszą miłością. Myślała, że się z nią ożeni. Ale ukochany zniknął, a ona odkryła, że jest w ciąży. A w jej świecie to najcięższa zbrodnia... W zapomnianej przez Boga wiosce w Cisjordanii kobiety są warte mniej niż zwierzęta domowe. Tu mężczyzna jest panem życia i śmierci żony, córki, siostry. Brat może bezkarnie zabić siostrę, matka - córkę, kolejną bezużyteczną dziewczynkę, jaka się urodzi. Tu kobiecie odbiera się godność, a nawet życie zgodnie z odwiecznym obyczajem i uświęconą tradycją. A śmierć jest karą dla dziewczyny, która zhańbi rodzinę. Tak jak Souad. Wyrok wydaje jej ojciec. Szwagier dokonuje egzekucji. Oblewa Souad benzyną i podpala... SOUAD przeżyła - cudem, ale rodzina usiłowała zabić ją nawet w szpitalu. Na zawsze jednak pozostanie straszliwie okaleczona - na ciele i duszy. I wciąż musi się ukrywać; dopóki żyje, jej rodzinę okrywa hańba. Spalona żywcem, opublikowana pod pseudonimem szokująca opowieść o piekle, jakim było jej dzieciństwo i młodość, stała się międzynarodowym bestsellerem. Wydana w 37 w krajach książka przerywa tabu milczenia wobec istniejącej nadal w krajach muzułmańskich barbarzyńskiej tradycji. Nieludzkiego obyczaju, prawa mężczyzn, na mocy którego co najmniej pięć tysięcy kobiet pada co roku ofiarą zbrodni honorowej. Nazwa - Spalona Żywcem Wyd.

George O´Connor - Hera First Second

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The story of Hera, Queen of the Gods, and the heroes who won her favor. Volume 3 of Olympians, "Hera: The Goddessand Her Glory," introduces readers to the Queen of the Gods and Goddesses in the Pantheon. This volume tells the tales of the many heroes who sought and won Hera's patronage, most notably Hercules. In Olympians, O'Connor draws from primary documents to reconstruct and retell classic Greek myths. But these stories aren't sedate, scholarly works. They're action-packed, fast-paced, high-drama adventures with monsters, romance, and not a few huge explosions. O'Connor's vibrant, kinetic art brings ancient tales to undeniable life, in a perfect fusion of super-hero aesthetics and ancient Greek mythology.

Clay Sanskrit Library: Poetry NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Finally, the ancient gems of classical Sanskrit literature are available to a wide audience. This literature combines great beauty, enormous variety, and more than 3,000 years of continuous history and development. The Clay Sanskrit Library makes everything easier for any reader: the Sanskrit text, written in familiar Roman letters, faces a fresh English translation, and the convenient pocket size is both elegant and practical. This exciting collection includes many volumes from the two beloved Indian epics, the Ramayana and the Maha*bharata, in addition to other classics of Sanskrit literature. Each book is published in a jacketed hardcover edition, in a compact 4.5" x 6.5" format, designed to bring the literature of India to the general public, scholars, and students. For many interested readers, access to this vast treasure store has been hindered by an unfamiliar language and a difficult script. The new Clay Sanskrit Library makes everything easier: the Sanskrit text, written in familiar Roman letters, faces the English translation, and the convenient pocket size is both elegant and practical.Twenty-eight leading scholars from eight countries cooperated to produce fresh new translations that combine readability and accuracy. The first twelve titles appeared in February 2005, and by 2009 the library was completed with 56 published volumes. The selection includes drama, poetry and novels, together with the famous epics. The Library is now also available as a 56-volume complete set, as well as in six thematic mini-sets, grouped for readers interested in specific areas of the world of classical Sanskrit literature. The mini sets, available at discounts, are as follows: 1. Epic: Mahabharata (15 volumes); 2. Epic: Ramayana (5 volumes); 3. Religion (10 volumes); 4. Poetry (9 volumes); 5. Plays (8 volumes); and 6. Story Collections, Tales, Narratives, and Fables (9 volumes). Introduction to the Clay Sanskrit Library By John Clay The great national epics of India, the Maha*bharata and the Ramayana, reached their definitive form around the beginning of the common era. By their authority and comprehensive character they dominated Hindu literature for several centuries, as familiar episodes and themes were reworked. But Buddhism and Jainism developed their own literary traditions.From early in the common era, a vast creative literature of novels, short stories, plays and poetry began to develop. Some took their subject matter from the national epics or the Buddhist scriptures, but many other sources also provided inspiration. This new literary culture was vibrant and vivid. The dramatists wrote plays about palaces full of dancing girls, and gardens where peacocks screeched at the approach of the monsoon and elephants trumpeted in the stables, eager for combat or mating. Courtiers intrigued for influence and promotion. Merchants set off on their voyages with sadness at separation, and returned with joy and vast profits. The six seasons spun by at breakneck speed. Lovers kept their trysts in the cane groves down by the river. Holy men preached that worldly pleasures were worthless, and often were exposed as hypocrites. This second flowering of a classical Sanskrit literature lasted for more than a millenium. We shall bring to a worldwide audience the entire text of the two national epics, and fifty or more titles from the heyday. We hope that readers will find much to enjoy.

Playing the Universe Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej

Historia

The ludic impulse is everywhere in western culture. Games and play provide metaphors for our lives. Stories of games, sports, and play are found everywhere in our imaginative literature as well - from folk tales, to novels of athletic success for young adults, to mainstream novels about chess, to a wide array of science fiction stories and novels. It is the ludic element that we find in the latter - science fiction literature, film, games - that is the subject of the essays collected in this volume. Science fiction plays dice with the universe, as one of the essays here suggests; that is, nowadays artists play more and more with science fiction. It is both remarkable and telling that science fiction stories are the most likely to circulate culture - from book to movie to comic to game to TV series to fan fiction. On the way, writers, graphic artists, directors and many others play with the stories. Many of the resultant artifacts are blatantly commercial, and one of the contributions suggests why SF lends itself so readily to various forms of remixing, but there are gems, too, in which this inter-textual and inter-generic play results in truly astonishing scenarios. Grouped in four distinct categories: Literature, Film, Gaming and Intermedia, the 19 essays by 23 authors collected in Playing the Universe examine the games and play of science fiction in a number of highly divergent texts, in a wide range of media, from a variety of critical perspectives. Very appropriately, early versions of a number of the essays were presented at the 2005 Annual Meeting of the Science Fiction Research Association in - where else! - Las Vegas, Nevada, the home of games and play for the modern adult world. In one of his essays Peter Lamborn Wilson (who also incidentally - or perhaps not - co-edited the cutting-edge Semiotext(e) SF volume) suggested that "the universe wants to play." The ideal partner because of its nature, science fiction plays with the universe. And there haven't been better times to watch. And participate.

Innocent Your Honor Harry N. Abrams

Inne 1

New Yorker cartoonist Danny Shanahan wittily portrays litigious living in this hilarious volume of 120-plus cartoons on lawyers, legal matters, and courtroom antics. From corporate contretemps to judicial jujitsu, Innocent, Your Honor, a new addition to Abrams' popular line of books by New Yorker cartoonists, covers a wide compendium of colorful characters and twisted tales.Law is the profession we all love to hate, and this book shows us why. From an aspiring attorney, who confesses, 'I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. After that, law school was pretty much a given,' to the mythical Hercules signing a contract where '. . . she gets the house, the chariot, and custody of the kids. You get to keep the lion skin,' to a terrifying future in which 'everyone will be a lawyer for fifteen minutes,' Shanahan's offbeat humor is sure to delight anyone who is involved in the legal profession or who has an upcoming day in court. Just don't sue him if you hurt yourself laughing! AUTHOR BIO: Danny Shanahan has published more than 700 cartoons, covers, and illustrations in The New Yorker since his work first appeared there in 1988. His work has appeared in Playboy, Esquire, Time, and many other periodicals, and he has illustrated a number of humor and children's books. He lives in Rhinebeck, New York.
