Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1964, the Nankai Hawks of Japan’s Pacific League sent nineteen-year-old Masanori Murakami to the Class A Fresno Giants to improve his skills. To nearly everyone’s surprise, Murakami, known as Mashi, dominated the American hitters. With the San Francisco Giants caught in a close pennant race and desperate for a left-handed reliever, Masanori was called up to join the big league club, becoming the first Japanese player in the Major Leagues. Featuring pinpoint control, a devastating curveball, and a friendly smile, Mashi became the Giants’ top lefty reliever and one of the team’s most popular players—as well as a national hero in Japan. Not surprisingly, the Giants offered him a contract for the 1965 season. Murakami signed, announcing that he would be thrilled to stay in San Francisco. There was just one problem: the Nankai Hawks still owned his contract. The dispute over Murakami’s contract would ignite an international incident that ultimately prevented other Japanese players from joining the Majors for thirty years. Mashi is the story of an unlikely hero caught up in an American and Japanese baseball dispute and forced to choose between his dreams in the United States and his duty in Japan.

Book excerpt: In a recently liberated economy characterized by speed, the commodification of women's bodies, and consumerist culture, Bhashwati is an increasingly disillusioned misfit who has, ironically, just started working in an advertising firm. But her life changes one day when she finds out about the mysterious Mohua Roy - a former copywriter of the company, whose desk Bhashwati now uses. The company employees remain tight-lipped about Mohua - who left abruptly for reasons unknown. Upon finding a poem written by Mohua, Bhashwati decides to search for her. This takes Bhashwati to Calcutta's lanes where she meets people who sacrificed immensely for the same values that she finds eroded in a developing India. Who is Mohua Roy and why is there a net of silence around her very existence? Will Bhashwati find Mohua? Will she leave her job, just like Mohua? First published in 1997 in Assamese, Hriday Ek Bigyapan, was an instant bestseller, selling thirty-two reprints in the next ten years. By taking a close look at the newly globalized India of the nineties from a feminist lens, it poses questions about modern urban life that few Indian novels have been able to, questions that are still relevant today. Aruni Kashyap's seamless translation from the Assamese makes this a must read.

Download or read book HaDavar The Word of written by Daniel Perek and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2022-03-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a temporary Volume IV in a four-volume set on Messianic Judaism by scholar Daniel Perek. It is an English translation of the Aramaic Peshitta New Testament, and will soon be accompanied by a Hebrew translation of the same. The goal of this New Testament is to put the Aramaic Peshitta text back into its cultural context as much as possible linguistically, by transliterating Hebrew names and other words, and looking more closely at the translation of certain words and concepts. It is the author’s contention that the Aramaic texts preceded the Greek NT texts, and that this version will help readers see some of the reasons why. Namely, the use of the Name, ???? , or ???? in the Aramaic, would not be so strategically used in an Aramaic translation from the Greek as it is in the Aramaic Peshitta texts, so one can easily see the Name as it was used by Yeshua and His Talmidim (Disciples). Further, the Name “Yeshua,” ????, the given, human name of the Messiah, is affirmed as Yeshua in the Aramaic Peshitta texts, and is seen readily within this volume. The Hebrew translation will be completed shortly, offering the same and more to the Hebrew reader.
