In A Diabolical Voice, Justine L. Trombley traces the afterlife of the Mirror of Simple Souls, which circulated anonymously for two centuries in four languages, though not without controversy or condemnation. Widely recognized as one of the most unusual and important mystical treatises of the late Middle Ages, the Mirror was condemned in Paris in 1310 as a heretical work, and its author, Marguerite Porete, was burned at the stake. Trombley identifies alongside the work's increasing positive reception a parallel trend of opposition and condemnation centered specifically around its Latin translation. She's discovered fourteenth- and fifteenth-century theologians, canon lawyers, inquisitors, and other churchmen who were entirely ignorant of the Mirror's author and its condemnation and saw in the work dangerous heresies that demanded refutation and condemnation of their own.
Using new evidence from the Mirror's largely overlooked Latin manuscript tradition, A Diabolical Voice charts the range of negative reactions to the Mirror, from confiscations and physical destruction to academic refutations and vicious denunciations of its supposedly fiendish doctrines. This parallel story of opposition shows how heresy remained an integral part of the Mirror's history well beyond the events of 1310, revealing how seriously churchmen took Marguerite Porete's ideas on their own terms, in contexts entirely removed from Marguerite's identity and her fate. Emphasizing the complexity of the Mirror of Simple Souls and its reception, Trombley makes clear that this influential book continues to yield new perspectives and understandings.

Описание:
Anna and Lena, neighbors on the same floor in a Hamburgian apartment-building on Baumstrasse, are the base for the life-stories of the residents on the floor, to illuminate and fade out. The two girls, one Christian and the other Jewish, grow up in innocent, magical friendship, in an era when the simplest turns to unbearable.
The events in the story, do not linger at the girls childhood; they swing back and forth with life stories of the residents in three apartments. They take you to different periods to Odessa, Cairo, Vienna, Hamburg and more.
The novel is a fruit of the author's (an ex-Iranian Israeli) contemplations on Holocaust. The author deals with the hideous tragedy from an unconventional angle. She brings the reader to ponder on reasons that bring human beings to be the most savage beasts.
From the Epilogue:
When I first visited the beautiful city of Hamburg, I condemned God who had repaid the Germans' savagery and brutality, so lavishly. Every elderly walking on sidewalks, was a brutal Nazi in my eye... Were those German soldiers not sons of mothers? Did they not feel pain, homesickness, fear, hunger and cold? Or maybe they were just emotionless war machines "
This is Namdar's second Novel. The first "Snobar Khanom's Gold Coins" became a hit in three languages, Hebrew, Farsi and English. The book was awarded by the Israeli culture Minister in 2015.

Описание: This book examines the ways in which Cuba`s revolutions of 1933 and 1959 became touchstones for border-crossing endeavors of radical politics and cultural experimentation over the mid-twentieth century. It argues that new networks of solidarity building between US and Cuban allies also brought with them perils and pitfalls that could not be separated from the longer history of US empire in Cuba.
Описание: When the author`s two children (a boy and a girl) were young, they often crawled into bed with his wife and him in the morning, he would make up stories about two little mice, Ticklemouse and his friend Lively, who lived in the same house as the little boy or girl, depending on who was listening. Ticklemouse was the author`s right hand and Lively his left, and they loved to tickle the kids whenever the mice got excited during the story. He never knew where the stories would go as he made them up, but over time, several were repeated often enough that they became memorable. When his kids grew up and had kids of their own, the author wrote down four of the stories and discovered that they were just as popular with his grandkids. These stories of shared laughter and fun became The Adventures of Ticklemouse. The author hopes you and your children or grandchildren enjoy them as much as his did and still do.
