This book was released on 1990 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gregory S. Skovoroda was searching and propagating his ideas about the Kingdom of God, the Celestial Jerusalem, where «there is no distinction between old and young, between sexes, and everything is in common in that republic.» In his Fables he taught that the root of evil in society lies in the misapplication of innate talents. People pay too much attention to consumption-satisfaction andignore production-satisfaction, «which is a vital need and ultimate enjoyment.» Man should find his in-born ability by self-examination and through the curricula of general education. The teachings of this 18th century man were greatly appreciated by such great writers as Tolstoy, Gorky, Shevchenko, I. Franko, V. Lenin and the Soviet government recognized Skovoroda among such «great revolutionary leaders» as Spartacus, Fourier, Lomonosov, Radishchev, Pushkin, Chernyshevsky, Shevchenko and others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fables in Jewish Culture catalogues almost 400 Jewish scrolls and books from the collection of Jon A. Lindseth that contain animal stories with moral connections. Spanning six centuries, the books are in several languages, including Hebrew, Yiddish, Aramaic, Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) and Judeo-Persian. They were printed all over the world and include animal stories from the Hebrew Bible and other religious texts as well as translations of secular stories, such as Aesop's fables in Hebrew. The catalogue is divided into four sections—Biblical works, rabbinic works, medieval works, and postmedieval works—and each entry is illustrated with a page or more from the work, a detailed description of the characteristics and publishing history of the work, and description of the fables contained therein, along with a discussion of their literary and/or cultural-historical significance. This volume includes a foreword by Jon A. Lindseth, describing how he assembled this collection of Jewish books containing fables, as well as essays on the role of fables in Jewish culture, their use in Biblical and rabbinical literature, and their appearance in Jewish and Yiddish literature. Fables in Jewish Culture concludes with a bibliography of fables in Jewish literature and multiple indexes that allow readers to locate works by a number of criteria, including fable, author, title (in English, Hebrew, and Latin), and printer. Contributors: Marion Aptroot, David Daube, Simona Gronemann, Jon A. Lindseth, Raphael Loewe, Lies Meiboom, Emile Schrijver, David Stern, Heide Warncke, Irene Zwiep.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fable and the proverb have had a long history of very close relationships; indeed in some cases they have been considered identical forms.

These essays deal with the nature of that relationship from a wide range of viewpoints: classical studies, folkloristics, literary studies, and much more.

Download or read book Islam and the West written by Anwar G. Chejne and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1984-06-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after the conquest of Granada in 1492 by the Catholic kings, Muslim subjects in Spain became known derogatorily as Moriscos, Moros, Muhammadans, Hagarans, and Saracens, despite the fact that they were forced to accept the sacrament of baptism. They were relegated to the margin of Christian society, considered aliens in their own land, and subjected to strictures and persecution. In turn, the Moriscos developed their own attitude, which they expressed in an extensive literature in Alijamiado, their Spanish dialect written in Arabic script. This literature was for the most part inspired by Arabic models reiterating Islamic values through the vehicles of history, legends, epic tales, stories, wisdom sayings, and sorcery. Written mostly during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Aljamiado literature is significant for the study of cultural change. Islam and the West: The Moriscos is the first comprehensive study of this long-neglected subject. Chejne surveys and analyzes the self-expression of the Moriscos and assesses their status as a minority struggling for survival, placing them in the social context of ideological conflict, the clash of religions and cultures, and differing perceptions. This book provides a more complete picture of the literatures and cultures of medieval Spain.

Book excerpt: Many entries in this book are my creations; others are gleanings and adaptations from several languages and cultures. All resonate to my experience. Aphorisms, witticisms, moral tales, and similar insights are akin to philosophy but with two main differences: first, whereas philosophy reaches a point after lengthy preliminaries, aphorisms and their relatives begin with the point and its immediate human application. Second, whereas philosophy narrate in a major key, these entries play on several registers: humor, irony, paradox, and moral insights that modulate the melody of human life. According to one of the aphorisms in this book, some of our ideas fare better in other minds. These have served me well as instruction and consolation. Now I release them in the hope that other minds will make even better use of them.
