Massacre: The Life and Death of the Paris Commune
By John Merriman. 2014
The Paris Commune lasted for only 64 days in 1871, but during that short time it gave rise to some…
of the grandest political dreams of the nineteenth century—before culminating in horrific violence. Following the disastrous French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, hungry and politically disenchanted Parisians took up arms against their government in the name of a more just society. They expelled loyalists and soldiers and erected barricades in the streets. In Massacre, John Merriman introduces a cast of inimitable Communards—from les pétroleuses (female incendiaries) to the painter Gustave Courbet—whose idealism fueled a revolution. And he vividly recreates the Commune’s chaotic and bloody end when 30,000 troops stormed the city, burning half of Paris and executing captured Communards en masse. A stirring evocation of the spring when Paris was ablaze with cannon fire and its citizens were their own masters, Massacre reveals how the indomitable spirit of the Commune shook the very foundations of Europe.الفهرس الموضوعي لمجلة مجمع اللغة العربية

By Molly Peacock. 2017
When a psychoanalyst became a painter after surviving a stroke, her longtime patient, distinguished and beloved poet Molly Peacock, took…
up a unique task. The Analyst is a new, visceral, twenty-first century "in memoriam" of ambiguous loss in which Peacock brilliantly tells the story of a decades-long patient-therapist relationship that now reverses and continues to evolve. Peacock invigorates the notion of poetry as word-painting: A tapestry of images, from a red enameled steamer on a black stove to Tibetan monks funneling glowing sand into a painting, create the backdrop for her quest to define identity. From "In Our Unexpected Future":. . . for frocks outlast pillars. But feelingsoutlive frocks. The immaterial storms through,a force beyond years (a mere four since youwere nearly felled). It isn't what happened that lasts. Not art, either, but the savory core. What's felt.The Wise King: A Christian Prince, Muslim Spain, and the Birth of the Renaissance
By Simon R. Doubleday. 2015
"If I had been present at the Creation,” the thirteenth-century Spanish philosopher-king Alfonso X is said to have stated, "Many…
faults in the universe would have been avoided. ” Known as El Sabio, "the Wise,” Alfonso was renowned by friends and enemies alike for his sparkling intellect and extraordinary cultural achievements. In The Wise King, celebrated historian Simon R. Doubleday traces the story of the king’s life and times, leading us deep into his emotional world and showing how his intense admiration for Spain’s rich Islamic culture paved the way for the European Renaissance. In 1252, when Alfonso replaced his more militaristic father on the throne of Castile and León, the battle to reconquer Muslim territory on the Iberian Peninsula was raging fiercely. But even as he led his Christian soldiers onto the battlefield, Alfonso was seduced by the glories of Muslim Spain. His engagement with the Arabic-speaking culture of the South shaped his pursuit of astronomy, for which he was famed for centuries, and his profoundly humane vision of the world, which Dante, Petrarch, and later Italian humanists would inherit. A composer of lyric verses, and patron of works on board games, hunting, and the properties of stones, Alfonso is best known today for his Cantigas de Santa María (Songs of Holy Mary), which offer a remarkable window onto his world. His ongoing struggles as a king and as a man were distilled--in art, music, literature, and architecture--into something sublime that speaks to us powerfully across the centuries. An intimate biography of the Spanish ruler in whom two cultures converged, The Wise King introduces readers to a Renaissance man before his time, whose creative energy in the face of personal turmoil and existential threats to his kingdom would transform the course of Western history.The Collapse: The Accidental Opening of the Berlin Wall
By Mary Elise Sarotte. 2014
The Berlin Wall was erected in 1961 to end all traffic between the city’s two halves: the democratic west and…
the communist east. The iconic symbol of a divided Europe, the Wall became a focus of western political pressure on East Germany; as Ronald Reagan’s famously said in a 1987 speech in Berlin, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” But as award-winning historian Mary Sarotte shows in [Title TK] , the opening of the Wall on November 9, 1989 was not, as is commonly believed, the East German government’s deliberate concession to outside influence. It was an accident. A carelessly worded memo written by mid-level bureaucrats, a bumbling press conference given by an inept member of the East German Politburo, the negligence of government leaders, the bravery of ordinary people in East and West Berlin--these combined to bring about the end of nearly forty years of oppression, fear, and enmity in divided Berlin. When the news broke, Washington and Moscow could only stand by and watch as Tom Brokaw and other journalists narrated the televised broadcast of this critical moment in the thawing of the cold war. Sarotte opens her story in the months leading up to that fateful day. Following East German dissidents, she shows how their efforts coalesced around opposition to the regime’s restrictions on foreign travel. The city of Leipzig, close to the border with Czechoslovakia, became a hothouse of activism, and protests there quickly grew into massive demonstrations. The East German Politburo hoped to limit its citizens’ knowledge of these marches, but two daring dissidents, East Berliners Aram Radomski and Siegbert Schefke, managed to evade the Stasi and film the largest of them from a church tower. They then smuggled their tape to West Germany; broadcast in both nations, the footage galvanized activists across East Germany, and precipitated the stunning developments on November 9. Facing mounting pressure from its own citizens, the East German Politburo planned to put off enacting any meaningful change to its travel policy by issuing a deceptive ruling that would appear to offer more freedom, but which in fact would allow the state to maintain strict control over its citizen’s movements. But the bureaucrats tasked with preparing the "new” regulations misunderstood their task, and instead drafted a declaration that said East Germans could freely leave the country. This declaration ended up in the hands of regime spokesman Günter Schabowski, who announced the rules at a press conference without understanding their import. Stunned reporters were soon broadcasting the news around the world. Crowds of East Germans began streaming to the Wall, prompting a showdown with border guards, who received no support or direction from East German leadership as the throngs multiplied. By 11:30, Harald Jäger, a second-tier passport control officer, had had enough and finally opened the wall to the mob gathering outside his gate. Even though East German forces successfully regained control by the morning, it was too late--for the wall, for the regime, and for Communism in Eastern Europe. Drawing on evidence from archives in multiple countries and languages, along with dozens of interviews with key actors, including Harald Jäger, [Title TK] is the definitive account of the event that brought down the East German Politburo and came to represent the final collapse of the Cold War order.Verfris en Genees Uself deur Meditasie

By Dr Pensacola H. Jefferson. 2016
Hierdie boek praat oor die intimiteit wat plaasvind tussen die siel en die Gees (God en jy deur Christus), nie…
twee liggame nie. As jy "een gees" met God is, is jy alreeds intiem met Hom, maar jy mag dalk nie die diepte van daardie intimiteit met Hom ervaar nie. Laat my jou gou 'n analogie gee: as God 'n koek wou maak, sou Hy meel, suiker, botter, eiers, ens. saam gemeng het. Wanneer daardie items of bestandele saamgevoeg of gemeng is, kan hulle nie ongemeng of onsaamgevoeg raak nie. Hulle is NOU een. Hierdie bestandele bly vir ewig geheg aan mekaar en saam het hulle iets heel anders geword - 'n koek. Die wat aan God deur die Here verbind is, bly vir ewig verbind en het dus geheel en al anders geword "in" Christus - 'n NUWE SKEPPING. Die wat tot God geheg is deur die Here, is "een gees" met Hom; 'n intimiteit met God wat letterlik 'n individu heeltemal transformeer. "... Maar wie die HERE aanhang, is EEN GEES met Hom..." (1 Korinthiërs 6:17 AFR53). "...Daarom, as iemand in Christus is, is hy 'n NUWE skepsel;..." (2 Korinthiërs 5:17 AFR53). "... die Gees van God in julle woon nie?..." (1 Korinthiërs 3:16 AFR53). God sê: "... WEES HEILIG, WANT EK IS HEILIG..." (1 Petrus 1:14-16 AFR53). "..."...Daarom, as iemand in Christus is, is hy 'n nuwe skepsel;..." (2 Korinthiërs 5:17 AFR53). "...die ou dinge het verbygegaan, kyk, dit het alles nuut geword..." (2 Korinthiërs 5:17 AFR53). "... En die HERE God het die mens geformeer [uit] die stof van die aarde [liggaam] en in sy neus die asem van die lewe [gees] geblaas. So het dan die mens 'n lewende siel [siel] geword..." (Genesis 2:7 AFR53). God sê: "... na SY beeld; ... man en vrou het Hy (God, die Heilige Gees) hulle geskape..." (Genesis 1:27 AFR53). "... En ... [God, die Heilige Gees] in sy neus die asem van die lewe [Sy "eie" Gees] ..." (Genesis 2:7 AFR53). "... So het dan die mens 'n lewende siel geword..." (Genesis 2:7 AFR53). Om tot God geheg te wees is 'n HEILHet jy gehoor daar gaan pryse in die hemel uitgehandig word?

As God al die glorie wat op ons wag aan ons bekend moet maak, sal dit ons verstand te bowe…
gaan. Watter pryse sal jy in die hemel ontvang? Gaan jy 'n prys ontvang? As jy die Here Jesus getrou gedien het, sal hierdie 'n tyd van groot lofprysing wees omdat jy wonderlike belonings sal ontvang.Poems That Do Not Sleep

By Gabriel Agbo, Leonie van der Wath. 2018
Opofferinge is kragtig. Baie Kragtig! Die rykste man, die sterkste man, die mees geseënde mans en vroue, die verstandigste, die…
grootse koning, en die magtigste profete was almal manne en vroue van opoffering. Hulle het hulle alles gegee en het gewaagd opgetree vir hulle mense, mensliewenheid en vir God om hulle verpligtinge en doelwitte te bereik sodat almal in ewigheid op hulle trots kon wees. Wil jy hulle geheim weet? Goed. As jy wil uitblink moet jy eers ‘n man/vrou van opoffering word. Alles is moonlik vir dié wat die prys kan betaal. Dié boek bevat die volgende hoofstukke – Die Krag van Opoffering, Offer Jou Enigste, Ek Reis deur Egipte, Ek Sal Die Prys Betaal, Volg My! Ons Het Vir Jou Gekom, Ek Sal Jou Bewaar, Berei Daardie Laaste Ete Voor, Die Krag Om Te Bewaar, Loof, Vas en Gebed. Ons bespreek nie net die groot opofferings van noemenswaardige mans en vroue uit die Bybel nie en hoe hulle optrede hulle belangrik gemaak het nie maar ons bespreek ook mense soos Yonatan Yoni Netanyanhu van Israel. Hy is die jong Israeli wat die komando eenheid gelei het om die Joodse gyselaars te red by Entebbe lughawe toe hul vliegtuig in 1976 gekaap is en in Uganda moes land. Ons kyk ook na militêre helde – soos die “SEALs” en “Delta Force. Hierdie mans gee voordurend hulle allerbeste om ander te beskerm en om die mensdom te red. Hulle offer hul lewens op om ander te beveilig. Jesus het gesê groter opoffering is daar nie, dan iemand wat sy lewe vir ‘n ander gee. Ons bring hulde aan hulle! Hulle leer ons wat opoffering behoort te wees. Jesus het juis gevra, wat se opoffering kan groter wees as wat iemand sy lewe vir sy vriende gee? Ons prys hulle vir hulle dapperheid en uitmuntende patriotisme. Hier sal ons leer van opofferings van geloof, goedheid, patriotisme, gebed, vas en loof. Wanneer jy meer doen as wat van jou verwag word, is daar onmiddelik ‘n onsigbare bonatuurlike mag wat reageer en na jou toe haas.Super 3-Dag Detox Sop & Smoothie Plan

By Plokhy. 2015
Ukraine is currently embroiled in a tense battle with Russia to preserve its economic and political independence. But today’s conflict…
is only the latest in a long history of battles over Ukraine’s existence as a sovereign nation. As award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues in The Gates of Europe, we must examine Ukraine’s past in order to understand its fraught present and likely future. Situated between Europe, Russia, and the Asian East, Ukraine was shaped by the empires that have used it as a strategic gateway between East and West—from the Romans and Ottomans to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union, all have engaged in global fights for supremacy on Ukrainian soil. Each invading army left a lasting mark on the landscape and on the population, making modern Ukraine an amalgam of competing cultures. Authoritative and vividly written, The Gates of Europe will be the definitive history of Ukraine for years to come.Ontvang Jou Wonderwerk
