The Poem of Queen Esther
ISBN: 9780195123746 / Angielski / Twarda / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a translation of a Spanish poem by Joao Pinto Delgado (c. 1585-1653) that is based on the biblical book of Esther. His choice of subject here was not accidental; the murderous persecution of the biblical Jews by the Persian King Haman stands as an obvious analogue to their sufferings at the hands of the Inquisition. Today, it also resonates with the events of the Holocaust. At the same time, this virtually unknown work is an elegant piece of Renaissance writing that bears stylistic and thematic affinities to important poems of the English Renaissance, such as those of...

Rabin Szymon Dankowicz 1834-1910
ISBN: 9788378660644 / Polski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Szymon Dankowicz (1834–1910) – rabin, kaznodzieja, nauczyciel – jest dziś postacią zapomnianą i niedocenianą. Jego sylwetka wydaje się jednak warta przypomnienia z przynajmniej kilku powodów. Ze względu na związki Dankowicza z kilkoma społecznościami postępowymi opracowanie jego spuścizny i poglądów może stanowić wkład do badań nad religijnością kręgów postępowych na ziemiach polskich, może także być uzupełnieniem badań nad historiami gmin żydowskich w poszczególnych ośrodkach, w których działał. Ze względu na działalność Dankowicza na rzecz...

Images of Cosmology in Jewish and Byzantine Art: God's Blueprint of Creation
ISBN: 9789004233249 / Angielski / Twarda / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Does the design of the Tabernacle in the wilderness correspond to God's blueprint of Creation? The Christian Topography, a sixth-century Byzantine Christian work, presents such a cosmology. Its theory is based on the "pattern" revealed to Moses on Mount Sinai when he was told to build the Tabernacle and its implements "after their pattern, which is being shown thee on the Mount." (Exod. 25: 40). The book demonstrates, through texts and images, the motifs that link the Tabernacle and Creation. It traces the long chain of transmission that connects the Jewish and Christian traditions from Syria...

ISBN: 9789004245570 / Angielski / Twarda / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this commentary W. Edward Glenny provides a careful analysis of the Greek text and literary features of Amos based on its witness in the fourth century codex Vaticanus. The commentary begins with an introduction to Amos in Vaticanus, and it contains an uncorrected copy of Amos from Vaticanus with textual notes and a literal translation of that text.

Double Agents: Espionage, Literature, and Liminal Citizens
ISBN: 9780231136723 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why were white bourgeois gay male writers so interested in spies, espionage, and treason in the twentieth century? Erin G. Carlston believes such figures and themes were critical to exploring citizenship and its limits, requirements, and possibilities in the modern Western state. Through close readings of Marcel Proust's novels, W. H. Auden's poetry, and Tony Kushner's play Angels in America, which all reference real-life espionaage cases involving Jews, homosexuals, or Communists, Carlston connects gay men's fascination with spying to larger debates about the making and contestation...

Marriage and Metaphor: Constructions of Gender in Rabbinic Literature
ISBN: 9780739179345 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Marriage and Metaphor, Gail Labovitz explores gender relations in marriage within rabbinic culture. Labovitz shows how rabbis use the concepts of property and ownership to discuss the roles of a husband and wife, thereby modeling marriage after a business transaction-one in which the wife is seen as an acquisition owned by and subject to the husband. This ownership metaphor is clearly present in all strata of rabbinic literature and the book explores how it continues to guide rabbinic thinking, serve as a tool for legal reasoning, and produce new linguistic applications. With a close and...

The Origins of Israeli Mythology: Neither Canaanites Nor Crusaders
ISBN: 9781107014091 / Angielski / Twarda / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We claim that Zionism as a meta-narrative has been formed through contradiction to two alternative models, the Canaanite and crusader narratives. These narratives are the most daring and heretical assaults on Israeli-Jewish identity, which is umbilically connected to Zionism. The Israelis, according to the Canaanite narrative, are from this place and belong only here; according to the crusader narrative, they are from another place and belong there. On the one hand, the mythological construction of Zionism as a modern crusade describes Israel as a Western colonial enterprise planted in the...

Schtick is a tale of Jewish assimilation and its discontents: a sweeping exposition on Jewish American culture in all its bawdy, contradictory, inventive glory. Exploring--in his own family and in culture and politics at large--how Jews have shed their minority status in the United States, poet Kevin Coval shows us a people's transformation out of diaspora, landing on both sides of the color line.
