Αυτός κοιμότανε με τη μαμά
by G. G. VegaΠεριγραφή Αυτό το βιβλίο είναι μια σύντομη ιστορία από τις εμπειρίες που είχα παιδί, στα 1968, σε μια απομακρυσμένη περιοχή, σε ένα εχθρικό και δύσκολο περιβάλλον, σε ένα μικρό χωριό στις όχθες του ποταμού Παραγουάη, κοντά στα σύνορα με τη Βραζιλία και τη Βολιβία, στη Νότια Αμερική, στο έδαφος της Παραγουάης, όπου γεννήθηκα και πέρασα το μεγαλύτερο μέρος της παιδικής μου ηλικίας. Σκοπός αυτού του βιβλίου είναι να πω πως παρ’ όλες τις δυσκολίες στη χώρα μου, όσο απομακρυσμένος και δύσβατος κι αν ήταν ο τόπος μου, ο Θεός με φρόντισε, με βοήθησε, με έκανε να γίνω άνθρωπος. Αυτό το αποδίδω στην αγάπη και αφοσίωση των γονιών μου, στο σεβασμό που είχαν για την οικογένειά τους, την αγάπη για τα παιδιά τους και την αυθεντική τους, απλή και ταπεινή, αλλά ειλικρινή πίστη στο Θεό.

شرح شذور الذهب في معرفة كلام العرب
by ابن هشاميقول عنه في المقدمة: "هذا كتاب شرحت به مختصري المسمى بـ: شذور الذهب، في معرفة كلام العرب، تممت به شواهده، وجمعت به شوارده،..قصدت فيه إلى إيضاح العبارة، لا إلى إخفاء الإشارة، وعمدت فيه إلى لفّ المعاني والأقسام، لا إلى نشر القواعد والأحكام، والتزمت فيه إنني كلما مررت ببيت من شواهد الأصل ذكرت اعرابه، وكلما أتيت على لفظ مستغرب أردفته مما يزيل استغرابه، وكلما أنهيت مسألة ختمتها بآية تتعلق بها من آي التنزيل، وأتبعتها بما تحتاج إليه من إعراب وتفسير وتأويل، وتصدي بذلك تدريب الطالب، وتعريفه السلوك إلى أمثال هذه المطالب". نيل و فرات

Ο Διασώστης και ο Ισπανικός Εμφύλιος Πόλεμος: Ξεχασμένες Ιστορίες από την Ισπανία
by Paul ReadΠροσπαθήστε να φανταστείτε ότι η πόλη της Μάλαγας πρέπει να εκκενωθεί εν μία νυκτί. 150.000 άνθρωποι καλούνται να περπατήσουν 200 χιλιόμετρα κατά μήκος του παραλιακού δρόμου Ν-340 σε αναζήτηση ασφαλούς καταφυγίου, ενώ καταδιώκονται από ιταλικά τεθωρακισμένα άρματα μάχης, βομβαρδίζονται από γερμανικά αεροσκάφη και δέχονται οβίδες από τα πλοία των Στασιαστών Εθνικιστών. Άοπλοι άνδρες, γυναίκες και παιδιά θα δεχθούν πυροβολισμούς από αεροπλάνα ή θα πέσουν νεκροί από ριπές των πλοίων που τους καταδιώκουν κατά μήκος της ακτής, τα σώματά τους θα αφεθούν στην άκρη του δρόμου, εγκαταλελειμμένα στο χάος και την κτηνωδία των εμπόλεμων ενηλίκων.
الناصر صلاح الدين الأيوبي: نظرة الغرب لبطل الشرق (Studies In The History And Anthropology Of Religion Ser. #1)
by د.مجدي عز الدين حنفيهذا الكتاب يبرز نبذة مختصرة عن حياة القائد صلاح الدين الأيوبي. أردتُ أن أُظهِر رؤية الغرب لصفات ومميِّزات وعيوب هذه الشخصية الأسطورية المسلمة مِن خلال ترجمة مصادر إنجليزية وفرنسية عديدة، وكذلك استشارة مصادر عربية فيما يتعلَّق ببعض التفاصيل التاريخية والدينية، وبذلك تتعدَّد زوايا قراءة تاريخه. أبهرني إظهارهم للحقيقة بدون مبالغة، وتقييمهم ونقدهم البَنَّاء، فإذا كان هذا رأي الغرب (الصليبيِّين) فيه، فما بالك بحقيقة شخصيَّته مِن وجهة نظر معاصِريه؟ توجد مساحات لَم يسلَّط عليها الضوء في سيرته الذاتية، نعلم الكثير عن إنجازاته، ونعلم القليل عن شخصيَّته، مثله مثل غيره مِن حُكَّام العصور الوسطى. الفصول الثلاثة الأخيرة مِن الكتاب تتناول ما نستطيع أن نتعلَّمه مِن هذه الشخصيَّة، وكيف يمكننا الاستفادة مِن أخلاقه وأفعاله.. أرجو مِن الله أن تتمتَّعوا وتستفيدوا مِن هذا العمل.
سيرة الأميرة ذات الهمة وولدها عبدالوهاب - جزء1
by ليس موجودقال الراوي: ومن جملة من خرج إليه عمرو بن عبد الله وهو يقول ادع لنا يا أخينا في الله، وأما أبا محمد البطال لما رأى الناس يهرعون سأل عن ذلك، فقال له بعض الإخوان فاز بالسعادة من فاز هذا القاضي قد قدم من أرض الحجاز فسار أبي محمد البطال من جملة الناس إلى أن وصل إليه، فرآهم يقبلون قدميه والشاطر من يصل إليه، وهو يبكي فما زال البطال يضحك إلى أن قرب منه، ووقعت عينه عليه فقال عقبة يا ولد يا بطال العاقبة إليك نزور البيت العتيق، وتزول عنك الذنوب، ويصل إليك التوفيق وتعاين ذاك المكان تحقيق، فقال البطال والله يا قاضي ما أنا إلا زرت البيت الذي كنت فيه، لكن ما غطست في جرن البركة الذي أنت غطست فيه، فقال عقبة وقد عدم رشاده وخفق من ذلك فؤاده، ويلك يا بطال إيش هذا الكلام وهذا الفضول الذي تقوله، وإذا بالأمير عمرو بن عبد الله قد وصل، فقال يا ولدي يا عمرو والله يوصل إليك ما دعوت لك في صحيفتك من الدعاء في البيت الحرام وزمزم والمقام، ثم ركب على ظهر بغلته بعد السلام والناس من وراه منقلبة، وكان البطال لما وقع بالقنديل قدمه للأمير عبد الوهاب، ففرح به فرحًا شديدًا ما عليه من مزيد، وكان البطال كره المقام بين بني سليم، وقال وحق المصطفى لا أقمت في مكان فيه عقبة بعد أن رأيت بعيني ما فعله، ولا بد أن أكون لهلاكه سبب، وأنحره كما أنحر الغنم، ثم طلع إلى قلعة الكوكب وأطلع الأميرة على القنديل، وقال هذا الذي تأسفتي عليه، وطلبتيه من الملك العلام، بأن يكون معلق في البيت الحرام، ثم حدثهم بحديث عقبة وما جرى له فقالت الأميرة لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم، وصعب على الأمير عبد الوهاب وقال للبطال على ماذا عولت أن تفعل، فقال انتقل من عندكم وأجعل معولي على الله، ثم عليكم وأنحر هذا اللعين فإني سمعته يوعد كلب الروم بهلاكك ويجعل بلاد الإسلام للروم والكفرة اللئام، ويملك البيت الحرام فقال عبد الوهاب ساءت ظنونه وأعماله وقطعت أوصاله ولا بد لي إن شاء الله أن أصلبه على باب الذهب الذي تنصر فيه، ولو احتمى بكل من كفر، وما قدر هذا الكلب إلا كلب حتى يذكر بيت الله الحرام، وزمزم والمقام، وأنت أخي من الدنيا والآخرة، لك ما لي وعليك ما عليَّ، ثم إنه أمر غلمانه أنهم ينقلون أسباب البطال من ملطية إلى قلعة الكوكب، وكانت ثلاثة جوار روميات وعشرة غلمان والكل علمهم الاحتيال والخداع، وجرأهم على الأهوال وأقام البطال في قلعة الكوكب وأعلم الأمراء بإسلام مارس ودارس، وأختهم أرمانوسة، ففرحوا بذلك فرحًا شديدًا ما عليه من مزيد، وقالت الأميرة سبحان الله من أيقظ هؤلاء من سنة الغفلة وأضل عقبة من علمه وفضله، ولكن الله يفعل ما يشاء ويحكم ما يريد، ولم يزل البطال في قلعة الكوكب إلى أن سمع بوصول عقبة، فقال لا بد لي من الخروج إليه، ثم إنه خرج كما ذكرنا وكلم عقبة بما وصفناه، وعاد البطال إلى قلعة الكوكب وأعلم الأمير بقدوم عقبة، وكيف وصل من الحجاز، فقالت الأميرة إن قتله عند الله أعظم أجر من فتح القسطنطينية، لأنه يلعب بالأديان ويكفر بالرحمن، ثم أقاموا إلى أن أصبح بالصباح، وإذا برسول الأمير عمرو وصل إليهم يطلب الأمير أبو محمد البطال، وأيضًا يطلب القنديل ويأخذ من البطال حق القصاص بما يتكلم في حق عقبة ويقابله بما يستحقه، وأما القنديل يوصله إلى الأمام فإنه ولي الأحكام. قال الراوي: وكان السبب في ذلك الملعون عقبة لأنه لما وصل إلى ملطية وعلم أن البطال شنع عليه بهذه الأقوال الرديئة، وأيضًا بالغ في تشديد هذه القضية، وأنه اطلع على تنصره فقال أنا اعلم أن هذا الصبي يكشف سري بما رأى مني، فلم ينم تلك الليلة حتى ملأ قلب عمرو بن عبد الله، وقال له يا ولدي أنت هاهنا ملك العربان وأمير الثغور في كل مكان، وما نريد يتم أمر إلا ونعلم به الخليفة أمير المؤمنين، وإلا إن دمت هكذا انتقصت منزلتك عند الأمراء وعند الخاص والعام، وأيضًا تستطيل بني عامر وبني كلاب على بني سليم، وما ينبغي أن تكون بني سليم تحت الذل والضيع، وينبغي أنك ترسل تطلب القنديل لأن البطال دخل إلى القسطنطينية وسرق مالاً جزيلاً، ومن جملته ذلك القنديل وهو من الصواب إنك تطلبه وتطلب أيضًا البطال حتى أنه يقوم إليَّ ذليل، وأقبح بما قال في حقي لأنه رماني بالزور والبهتان، وتكلم في حقي بالكفر والطغيان، وسوف يكون لهلاكه سبب، وإذا لم نقيم ناموس الإمارة وإلا حلت بنا كل الخسارة.
1,000 Coils of Fear: A Novel
by Olivia WenzelA multilayered and rhythmic debut novel about her life as a Black German woman living in Berlin and New York during the chaos of the 2016 U.S. presidential election from playwright Olivia Wenzel.A young woman attends a play about the fall of the Berlin Wall—and realizes she is the only Black person in the audience.She and her boyfriend are hanging out by a lake outside Berlin—and four neo-Nazis show up.In New York, she is having sex with a stranger on the night of the 2016 presidential election—and wakes up to panicked texts from her friends in Germany about Donald Trump&’s unlikely victory.Engaging in a witty Q&A with herself—or is it her alter ego?—she takes stock of our rapidly changing times, sometimes angry, sometimes amused, sometimes afraid, and always passionate. And she tells the story of her family: Her mother, a punk in former East Germany who never had the freedom she dreamed of. Her Angolan father, who returned to his home country before she was born to start a second family. Her grandmother, whose life of obedience to party principles brought her prosperity and security but not happiness. And her twin brother, who took his own life at the age of nineteen.Heart-rending, opinionated, and wry, Olivia Wenzel&’s remarkable debut novel is a clear-sighted and polyphonic investigation into origins and belonging, the roles society wants to force us into and why we need to resist them, and the freedoms and fears that being the odd one out brings.

1 Kings 1 to 11, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes: The Rise and Fall of Solomon (MacArthur Bible Studies)
by John F. MacArthurSolomon is known as the wisest man who ever lived. His writings in the Old Testament range from practical, pithy proverbs to beautiful romantic poetry—and all are filled with his knowledge and insights. Yet behind those writings stood a flawed man who was conflicted between deep wisdom and tragic folly.

Nevertheless, his life and writings provide valuable lessons for us today in the twenty-first century.In this study, pastor John MacArthur will guide you through an in-depth look at the historical period beginning with Solomon's ascent to the throne and continuing through his tragic end. Studies include close-up examinations of the vital importance of wisdom—with portraits of the wise woman, the foolish sluggard, and others in the book of Proverbs—and careful considerations of doctrinal themes such as "True Wisdom from God" and "A Time for Everything."—ABOUT THE SERIES—The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from widely respected pastor and author John MacArthur. Each guide provides intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture by examining its parts and incorporates:Extensive, but straight-forward commentary on the text.Detailed observations on overriding themes, timelines, history, and context.Word and phrase studies to help you unlock the broader meaning and apply it to your life.Probing, interactive questions with plenty of space to write down your response and thoughts.
The 10 Cent Chocolate Tub
by Mike Mcgann10 Cent Chocolate Tub will take you back to the 1950's and 1960s when life was uncomplicated. There were three channels to watch on a black and white television set showing Sid Caesar, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, Howdy Doody, Milton Berle, fifteen minutes of Nat King Cole, The Lone Ranger and The Toast of The Town. Radio stations were AM only and played Elvis Presley, Doo-Wop music, Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Patti Page, Chubby Checker and The Four Seasons, long before The Beatles came to America. The small things in life were exciting to a city boy who grew up to be a broadcaster, a Vietnam veteran, a minor performer and a dad! Everyone has family stories, crazy relatives, funny incidents, memories of how good things were back then and dreams of how they should be. The 10 Cent Chocolate Tub gets it's name from a huge chocolate ice cream cone sold by Bard's Dairy in the 1950s in Pittsburgh at a time when a young boy, who wore rummage sale clothes and ate surplus cheese, was only allowed a nickel vanilla ice cream now and then. This is about the quest for life's finer things like ice cream anytime you want it, playing the radio loudly, crying at a sad movie, falling in love, heartbreaks, kissing your children goodnight and loving every minute of it.

10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story
by Dan HarrisWinner of the 2014 Living Now Book Award for Inspirational MemoirNightline anchor Dan Harris embarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable.After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure, involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had both propelled him through the ranks of a hyper-competitive business and also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out.We all have a voice in our head. It's what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email compulsively, eating when we're not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us would assume we're stuck with this voice - that there's nothing we can do to rein it in - but Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that. It's a far cry from the miracle cures peddled by the self-help swamis he met; instead, it's something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation. After learning about research that suggests meditation can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain, Harris took a deep dive into the underreported world of CEOs, scientists, and even marines who are now using it for increased calm, focus, and happiness.10% Happier takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America's spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.
