Download or read book Submission written by Michel Houellebecq and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the 2022 French Presidential election looms, two candidates emerge as favourites: Marine Le Pen of the Front National, and the charismatic Muhammed Ben Abbes of the growing Muslim Fraternity. Forming a controversial alliance with the political left to block the Front National’s alarming ascendency, Ben Abbes sweeps to power, and overnight the country is transformed. This proves to be the death knell of French secularism, as Islamic law comes into force: women are veiled, polygamy is encouraged and, for our narrator François – misanthropic, middle-aged and alienated – life is set on a new course. Submission is a devastating satire, comic and melancholy by turns, and a profound meditation on faith and meaning in Western society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustine's personal life, his theological reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo."--Publisher's website.

This book was released on with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html In Russian ecclesiastical practical literature there are no studies deliberately devoted to the question of the history of secret confession. True, in recent times we have received separate publications that are closely and even directly in contact with this subject; but all of them are due not to a deliberate undertaking, but to the call of incidental circumstances. Meanwhile, in the sphere of the history of church institutions in general, the history of secret confession, in any case, is a question full of deep interest. We think that the publication of the work now proposed is sufficiently justified by both. It is not our intention to present a comprehensive history of confession; bypassing its internal, dogmatic side, we deal only with the external side, i.e., we offer a historical review of the charter of confession and church-civil resolutions related to confession. Thus, the present work is actually a ritual-canonical study. The connection here of two points of view on the subject is motivated both by a complete presentation of the external side of the confession, and by the peculiarity of the sources for studying its history. Speaking of the latter, we understand the well-known fact that the canonical and liturgical monuments for the history of confession in the Orthodox Eastern Church from time immemorial and until very recently have always been in an inseparable, genetic connection. Setting our task as a review of the actual external historical fate of confession, we then deal with this subject mainly - on the basis of handwritten sources. This is equally applicable to both the ritual and the canonical element in our study. In accordance with such a predominant nature of the sources of the proposed work, the latter embraces in the history of confession the period proper from the tenth to the sixteenth century. - Nevertheless, bearing in mind that a clear idea of ​​the subject of our study in the period from the X century. is possible only if it is presented for the previous time, and that in some particular questions relating to the external historical fate of confession, there must certainly be data delivered from the ancient period of the Church - we found it necessary to touch somewhat on the history of confession - and in the period before 10th century In view of this, to all our research we preface, in the sense of introductory, a brief outline of the external historical fate of confession before the 10th century; Similarly, in particular questions regarding confession discussed in the proposed work, we consider it necessary to communicate with information on them that remained from the time before the 10th century. On the other hand, bearing in mind the indisputable fact that handwritten sources in the practice of confession throughout the Orthodox East did not lose their significance even with the release of printed official church-practical publications on the subject of confession and did not lose until the very latest time - we found it necessary to present in our study the information supplied by the publications just mentioned - from the original ones to the modern ones. - In accordance with both, - this edition offers an experience of the history of secret confession, from the side outlined by us, for the entire time of its existence, and only the main preference is given to information delivered in this case by handwritten monuments. Exploring the ritual side of the subject, we took the latter in the widest possible volume. In accordance with this, in addition to the history of the charter of making confession proper, we found it obligatory for ourselves to present historical sketches and all those charters and ritual elements that are either only in close connection with confession, or owe its origin. In parallel with this, and in a canonical sense, we have set ourselves the task of investigating, as far as possible, the full cycle of questions related to this. Reviewing the subject of research within such limits prompted us to touch upon an abundance of private questions that are in contact with confession. All this led us to the publication of the work, which, in view of its volume, we are compelled to divide into two books, while publishing separate appendices to one and the other of them. – The first of these books is devoted to reviewing the general statute of confession; the second one introduces special statutes and individual elements of prayer related to confession, as well as ecclesiastical and civil regulations regarding the object and subject of confession. The handwritten documents that served as sources for our work, with the exception of three or four, are neither in our country nor in Western literature: they have not yet been published 1 . In view of this, we had to get acquainted with them in Greek and Slavic-Russian originals. Taking into account the large number of such documents, and in particular their remarkable diversity, we were forced, in order to properly elucidate the subject we have touched upon, to get acquainted with the manuscripts as widely as possible. The latter was achieved to some extent by us, since we had the opportunity to study the handwritten codices related to our subject in the most important Russian libraries, in three Western European and three in Eastern Europe. - - - In the present book, as is made clear in the preliminary remarks to Volume I, reviews are offered, on the one hand, of special statutes and separate prayer elements, and on the other, of ecclesiastical and civil decrees related to confession. In the first respect, we report here information about the charters of confession in exceptional cases, about special charters that only come into contact with confession, and, finally, about individual prayers, which were often included in the content of general confessional charters, but in general were placed separately in manuscript monuments, when designating them as prayers associated with confession. - In the second respect, our study introduces in this book the ecclesiastical-civil decrees, directed only to the object of confession, taken in relation to the latter in all positions that may be here.

Download or read book The Pleasant Nights Volume 2 written by Don Beecher and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2012-10-19 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned today for his contribution to the rise of the modern European fairy tale, Giovan Francesco Straparola (c. 1480–c. 1557) is particularly known for his dazzling anthology The Pleasant Nights. Originally published in Venice in 1550 and 1553, this collection features seventy-three folk stories, fables, jests, and pseudo-histories, including nine tales we might now designate for ‘mature readers’ and seventeen proto-fairy tales. Nearly all of these stories, including classics such as ‘Puss in Boots,’ made their first ever appearance in this collection; together, the tales comprise one of the most varied and engaging Renaissance miscellanies ever produced. Its appeal sustained it through twenty-six editions in the first sixty years. This full critical edition of The Pleasant Nights presents these stories in English for the first time in over a century. The text takes its inspiration from the celebrated Waters translation, which is entirely revised here to render it both more faithful to the original and more sparkishly idiomatic than ever before. The stories are accompanied by a rich sampling of illustrations, including originals from nineteenth-century English and French versions of the text. As a comprehensive critical and historical edition, these volumes contain far more information on the stories than can be found in any existing studies, literary histories, or Italian editions of the work. Donald Beecher provides a lengthy introduction discussing Straparola as an author, the nature of fairy tales and their passage through oral culture, and how this phenomenon provides a new reservoir of stories for literary adaptation. Moreover, the stories all feature extensive commentaries analysing not only their themes but also their fascinating provenances, drawing on thousands of analogue tales going back to ancient Sanskrit, Persian, and Arabic stories. Immensely entertaining and readable, The Pleasant Nights will appeal to anyone interested in fairy tales, ancient stories, and folk creations. Such readers will also enjoy Beecher’s academically solid and erudite commentaries, which unfold in a manner as light and amusing as the stories themselves.
