Book excerpt: paq'batlh: The Klingon Epic is the definitive edition of the grand Klingon epic of the Kahless the Unforgettable (qeylIS lIjlaHbogh pagh). The story of Kahless is a tale of legendary proportions comparable to those of our own ancient heroes Hercules, Ulysses, and Gilgamesh. Betrayed by his brother and witness to his father's brutal slaying, Kahless is pitted against his bitter enemy, the mighty tyrant Molor. To regain his honor he must travel into the Underworld, create the first bat'leth, and unite with his true love, Lady Lukara, to fight many epic battles. Through this awe-inspiring adventure Kahless redefines what it is to be truly Klingon. Reconstructed from several sources, this bilingual Klingon/English edition provides a keen insight into the nature of Klingon culture and mythology, and features the first publication of Ancient Klingon (no' Hol) fragments. Meticulously translated by the world's leading Klingon language expert, Marc Okrand, this classic epic is a must have for anyone interested in Klingon culture and language. The second edition includes a fully revised text and translation, as well as a new preface on no' Hol by DeSDu' jen puqloD.

Book QIH batlh Ehrenvolle Zerst  rung

Download or read book QIH batlh Ehrenvolle Zerst rung written by Clumsy Foo and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die logisch subduktiven Ansätze der klingonischen Philosophie sind terrestrisch-prozessualen Beschreibungsmustern überlegen. Sie blicken hinter die Prozesse, in die Prozesse hinein und schaffen dadurch eine kreative Dominanz. Die ehrlos-humanoide Geo-Metrie (Erdmessung) kann dem Konzept einer ehrenvollen Zerstörung der Chrono-Metrie nicht gerecht werden. Es ist deshalb notwendig, klingonische Beschreibungsmuster in die human-terrestrischen Denkungsformen einzubeziehen, damit eine interkausale Verknüpfung philosophischer und mathematischer Wechselwirkungen gelingt. Und da auf oktonionischer Ebene nur die klingonischen Ansätze eine Assoziativität gewährleisten, kann eine human-terrestrische graphische Überformung nicht tragfähig implementiert werden. Im Gegenteil: Die chrono¬metrische Ausprägung der Fano-Ebene zeigt eine klar überlegene, sehr ehrenvolle und außerordentlich subduktive Erhabenheit. Diese klingonische Erhabenheit schätzen wir. Diese klingonische Erhabenheit verteidigen wird. Es lebe der humanoide Klingonismus! Er lebe hoch, hoch, hoch! Kämpfen wir weiter, um den Geist zu bereichern.

Download or read book Poetry from Beyond the Grave written by Francisco Cândido "Chico" Xavier and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2013-05-10 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry from Beyond the Grave is the first English publication of a large selection of poems by the Brazilian medium and Spiritist leader Francisco Cândido “Chico” Xavier. These poems, originally collected in the volume Parnaso de Além-Túmulo, were dictated to Xavier by a variety of spirits of Brazilian poets from the afterlife, as journeying souls or as witnesses of the spiritual city Nosso Lar, “our house.” Poetry from Beyond the Grave is a veritable collection of haunted writing, in which poets present their posthumous work as if they were alive. The brilliant translation by Vitor Pequeno is supplemented by an extensive afterword by Jeremy Fernando, who traces what it means to speak through the other.

Book To Be Or Not to Be

Download or read book To Be Or Not to Be written by Bardsley Rosenbridge and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Be, or Not to Be: Paraphrased is an expanding deconstruction of Hamlet's famous existential question, achieved by putting the line through paraphrasing software 50 times. With each permutation, the quotation grows longer and its meaning is distorted, causing the question to question its own existence by acting as a faulty self-replicator, a nonsensical self-affirmation that destroys itself in the process of becoming. This controlled explosion of a sentence was performed by Bardsley Rosenbridge as part of his work with the Dark Meaning Research Institute, a group of parasemantic experimenters developing innovative ways to extract hidden meaning from the world around us.

It is one of the oldest written indigenous African languages. The Miracle of Saint Mina, most probably written around 1000 A.D., is a classical miracle story featuring one of the most well-known Egyptian saints. This publication features a translation of the text into one of the remaining modern Nubian languages, Dongolawi-Andaandi, by El-Shafie El-Guzuuli, thus establishing for the first time a link between the Old Nubian literary heritage and the contemporary colloquial language. The Old Nubian is also accompanied by a revised translation to English and a grammatical analysis"--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Pen Parkta written by Raşel Meseri and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pen in the Park is a unique revolutionary children's book written by Ra'el Meseri and illustrated by Sanne Karssenberg. Meseri narrates the Gezi Park protests in Istanbul through the figure of a penguin named Pen, whogoes on a trip from Antarctica to Gezi Park to save his fellow penguins, and gets involved in various adventures with his friends Chapulletta, the cat Trafo, and the dog Loukanikos. The Gezi movement of 2013-14 started with the threat of the destruction of the Gezi Park, a public space, which became quickly occupied by protestors from all generations and political backgrounds to build a movement that addressed not only the destruction of green areas and gentrification of public space, but also the democratic deficit of the country as such. At the height of the protests, dozens of protesters were killed and thousands injured. As the result of the protests, the park remained a public space and the struggle continues in different forms up to this day. During the protests, penguins were reclaimed as one of the symbols, as the main television channels preferred to show documentaries about the lives of penguins, instead of the uprising in Turkey. In Meseri's story, Pen the brave penguin, Pen, is both a symbol and an active agent in the course of events, guiding us through the process of political emancipation, democratic experiment, friendship, and solidarity that characterizes the Gezi movement.

Book An Anthology of Asemic Handwriting

Download or read book An Anthology of Asemic Handwriting written by Tim Gaze and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Anthology of Asemic Handwriting is the first book-length publication to collect the work of a community of writers on the edges of illegibility. Asemic writing is a galaxy-sized style of writing, which is everywhere yet remains largely unknown. For human observers, asemic writing may appear as lightning from a storm, a crack in the sidewalk, or the tail of a comet. But despite these observations, asemic writing is not everything: it is just an essential component, a newborn supernova dropped from a calligrapher's hand. Asemic writing is simultaneously communicating with the past and the future of writing, from the earliest undeciphered writing systems to the xenolinguistics of the stars; it follows a peregrination from the preliterate, beyond the verbal, finally ending in a postliterate condition in which visual language has superseded words. An Anthology of Asemic Handwriting is compiled and edited by Tim Gaze from Asemic magazine and Michael Jacobson from The New Post-Literate blog.
