The End Is Near
ISBN: 9780981650227 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "It was all for nothing. There's nothing to say." On his forty-fifth birthday, as his hostages dozed fitfully and state police prepared to take him by force, Nathan Huffnagle penned nine last words into a journal recounting a remarkable week's worth of events. Then he placed the cold steel circle of a shotgun barrel beneath his chin, gripped the trigger, and pulled. And his life began again. Nathan had hoped to pay back one injustice with another, and tip the scales back to even. But so few of us have a real talent for havoc and vengeance and violence. And our cherished grievances and...

The Navel of the Demoness
ISBN: 9780195154146 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This groundbreaking study focuses on a village called Te in a "Tibetanized" region of northern Nepal. While Te's people are nominally Buddhist, and engage the services of resident Tibetan Tantric priests for a range of rituals, they are also exponents of a local religion that involves blood sacrifices to wild, unconverted territorial gods and goddesses. The village is unusual in the extent to which it has maintained its local autonomy and also in the degree to which both Buddhism and the cults of local gods have been subordinated to the pragmatic demands of the village community. Charles...

Bon and Naxi Manuscripts
ISBN: 9783110776089 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 431 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The present volume offers a dozen studies of manuscripts of the Tibetan Bon and Naxi Dongba traditions across time and space. While some of the contributions focus on particular features of manuscripts from either tradition, others explicitly bridge the two by considering common codicological and material aspects of selected examples or common themes in the content of the texts. This is the first primarily object-based study to deal with the cultural history and technology of books from the two traditions. It discusses collections of Bon and Naxi manuscripts, the concepts and history of both...

The Mardzong Manuscripts: Codicological and Historical Studies of an Archaeological Find in Mustang, Nepal
ISBN: 9789004443662 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 2008, an international team of climbers discovered a large collection of Tibetan manuscripts in a cave complex called Mardzong, in Nepal’s remote Mustang district. The following year, the entire cache—over five thousand folios from some sixty different works of the Buddhist and Bön religions, some more than seven centuries old—were removed to the safe keeping of a monastery, where they were later examined by experts from different disciplines. This book is the result of their findings. The authors present what they have been able to discover about the content of these manuscripts,...

Taxation in Tibetan Societies: Rules, Practices and Discourses
ISBN: 9789004518339 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The study of taxation is fundamental for understanding the construction of Tibetan polities, the nature of their power – often with a marked religious component – and their relationships with their subjects, as well as the consequences of taxation for social stratification. This volume takes the analysis of taxation in Tibetan societies (both under the Ganden Phodrang and beyond it) in new directions, using hitherto unexploited Tibetan-language sources. It pursues the dual objective of advancing our understanding of the organisation of taxation from an institutional perspective and of...
