Описание: Four brilliant artists and writers confront four strongmen. Eve Ensler, the American playwright (The Vagina Monologues), goes beneath the skin - or should we say orange hair - of US President Donald Trump. Danish Husain, the Indian storyteller and actor, finds himself telling us the story not only of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi but also of the ascension of the extremism of the Sangh Parivar. Burhan Sцnmez, the Turkish novelist, ferrets about amidst the bewildering career of the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Ninotchka Rosca, the Filipina feminist novelist, unravels the macho world of Rodrigo Duterte. Their essays do not presume to be neutral. They are partisan thinkers, magical writers, people who see not only the monsters but also a future beyond the ghouls. A future that is necessary. The present is too painful. Essays by Eve Ensler, Danish Husain, Burhan Sцnmez, Ninotchka Rosca

Описание: This book is WITH the ARABIC TEXT.The Hidayah has dominated the field of Islamic jurisprudence since the day it was written over 800 years ago. It has been the primary text used by Muslim jurists to issue authentic and reliable rulings on Islamic law according to the school of Imam Abu Hanifah (d.150AH/767CE). The Hidayah commands such an authoritative position amongst the doctors of law that the knowledge of a scholar who has not read it is not considered reliable. Around 70 huge commentaries, some spread over more than a dozen volumes, have been written on it. The number of explanatory glosses is in the thousands. Comprehensive in content and conveniently organized, with the publication of this book all previous works that discussed Islamic jurisprudence according to Hanafi law became outmoded and soon fell into disuse. If revealed books are not taken into account, never has a book received so much attention as the Hidayah. This landmark publication of The Hidayah not only has been translated in its entirety for the first time but has been done so from Arabic, the language in which it was written.

Описание: Notable International Crime Novel of the Year - Crime Reads / Lit HubFrom a prize-winning Turkish novelist, a heady, political tale of one man's search for identity and meaning in Istanbul after the loss of his memory. A blues singer, Boratin, attempts suicide by jumping off the Bosphorus Bridge, but opens his eyes in the hospital. He has lost his memory, and can't recall why he wished to end his life. He remembers only things that are unrelated to himself, but confuses their timing. He knows that the Ottoman Empire fell, and that the last sultan died, but has no idea when. His mind falters when remembering civilizations, while life, like a labyrinth, leads him down different paths. From the confusion of his social and individual memory, he is faced with two questions. Does physical recognition provide a sense of identity? Which is more liberating for a man, or a society: knowing the past, or forgetting it? Embroidered with Borgesian micro-stories, Labyrinth flows smoothly on the surface while traversing sharp bends beneath the current.

Описание: " In Calculating the Cosmos] Ian Stewart elegantly reviews the uncanny effectiveness of mathematics in explaining the universe."--Mario Livio, Wall Street Journal In Calculating the Cosmos, Ian Stewart presents an exhilarating guide to the cosmos, from our solar system to the entire universe. He describes the architecture of space and time, dark matter and dark energy, how galaxies form, why start implode, how everything began, and how it's all going to end. He considers parallel universes, the fine-tuning of the cosmos for life, what forms extraterrestrial life might take, and the likelihood of life on Earth being snuffed out by an asteroid. Beginning with the Babylonian integration of mathematics into the study of astronomy and cosmology, Stewart traces the evolution of our understanding of the cosmos: How Kepler's laws of planetary motion led Newton to formulate his theory of gravity. How, two centuries later, tiny irregularities in the motion of Mars inspired Einstein to devise his general theory of relativity. How, eighty years ago, the discovery that the universe is expanding led to the development of the Big Bang theory of its origins. How single-point origin and expansion led cosmologists to theorize new components of the universe, such as inflation, dark matter, and dark energy. But does inflation explain the structure of today's universe? Does dark matter actually exist? Could a scientific revolution that will challenge the long-held scientific orthodoxy and once again transform our understanding of the universe be on the way? In an exciting and engaging style, Calculating the Cosmos is a mathematical quest through the intricate realms of astronomy and cosmology.

Описание: Capturing Freedom's Cry: Arab Women Unveil Their Heart is a poetry collection by Syrian-Lebanese poet and author, Ghada Samman, that is set in the early years of the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1979). Written in Beirut amid the war's violence and published in Arabic as I'tikal Lahzah Haribah (Capturing a Fleeting Moment), containing over sixty poems, Capturing Freedom's Cry: Arab Women Unveil Their Heart provides a critical insider's perspective into the war's impact on personal and civic life and expresses the poet's contemporaneous experience. Samman unveils a courageous and relentless awareness of what war exacts from love relationships, and the struggle for precise, honest expression in the fleeting and wavering nature of war's intense experience. Embedded within many of Samman's poems is the theme of women's struggle for social and sexual freedom and an unyielding sense of hope and determination to persevere and see the nation return to peace once more. Capturing Freedom's Cry: Arab Women Unveil Their Heart provides a critical insider's perspective into the early years of the Lebanese Civil War. Samman, living in Beirut at the time, chose to stay through much of the war to convey the traumatic effects that conflicting interests, political powers, and societal influences had on life in Lebanon. In Samman's poems, the female narrators often assert their personal power and right to sexual freedom and love. Underlying is a call for a sexual and political revolution where the nation's freedom and women's liberation from patriarchal oppression are inseparable. A woman's longing for her beloved functions as a platform for exposing war's corruption and oppressive social and political ideologies governing women's sexuality. The poems embody an outspoken critique of socio-political strife and cultural disparity that continues to oppress women and use their bodies as political tools for reinforcing patriarchal structures and beliefs. Samman provides readers with an understanding of war that is mirrored by an internal struggle with existing gender roles and social norms embedded in the self. In Capturing Freedom's Cry: Arab Women Unveil Their Heart, Samman's narrators participate in this struggle as they assert their right to love and to own their bodies.
