Women Living Zen: Japanese Soto Buddhist Nuns
ISBN: 9780195123937 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this study, based on both historical evidence and ethnographic data, Paula Arai shows that nuns were central agents in the foundation of Buddhism in Japan in the sixth century. They were active participants in the Soto Zen sect, and have continued to contribute to the advancement of the sect to the present day. Drawing on her fieldwork among the Soto nuns, Arai demonstrates that the lives of many of these women embody classical Buddhist ideals. They have chosen to lead a strictly disciplined monastic life over against successful careers and the unconstrained contemporary secular lifestyle....

Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews: A Jewish Life and the Emergence of Christianity
ISBN: 9780679767466 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Paula Fredriksen, renowned historian and author of From Christ to Jesus, begins this inquiry into the historic Jesus with a fact that may be the only undisputed thing we know about him: his crucifixion.
Rome reserved this means of execution particularly for political insurrectionists; and the Roman charge posted at the head of the cross indicted Jesus for claiming to be King of the Jews. To reconstruct the Jesus who provoked this punishment, Fredriksen takes us into the religious worlds, Jewish and pagan, of Mediterranean antiquity, through the labyrinth of Galilean and Judean...

ISBN: 9786208483760 / Angielski / Miękka / 2025 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. There was a time when the city of Rio de Janeiro was called the tomb of foreigners. To change this stigma, the government invited public health expert Oswaldo Cruz to eradicate the epidemics that were driving away tourists and causing economic losses to the then capital of Brazil. At the same time, in the 19th century, Jewish women known as Polacas arrived in Brazilian ports with dreams of a happy marriage and ended up in brothels. These stories, based on the exquisite works of physician and writer Moacyr Scliar, came to the screen in André Sturm's film Tropical Dreams. Sil d'Paula analyzes...
