The Fall of Egypt and the Rise of Rome - Guy De la Bédoyere
A compelling history of the Ptolemies, the decline of Egypt, and the rising power of the Roman Empire  The Ptolemaic era, Egypt’s last and one of its longest dynasties, was in many ways a gilded age. Its early rulers restored and even expanded Egyptian power. Over a span of 300 years the period was witness to intellectual enlightenment, imaginative state-building, and some of the most memorable characters in ancient history, including Alexander the Great and Cleopatra VII.  But these Macedonian Greek pharaohs embarked on ruinous warfare, faced rebellion, and descended into murderous family feuds. Increasingly reliant on the dizzying rise of Roman power, Ptolemaic Egypt was finally annexed by Augustus in 30 BCE. How did such an ancient civilization come to this?  Exploring the lives of the Ptolemaic pharaohs, de la Bédoyère reveals the jealousy, greed, and murderous ambition in their Egypt and the legendary city of Alexandria, their capital. This is a lively, accessible account of Ancient Egypt’s last days—and of the new power rising in its place.

The Unknown Father of the Modern Mission - Francoise Fauconnet-Buzelin
The unknown father of the modern MissionPierre Lambert de la Motte was born in Normandy in 1624 into a pious noble family. After studying law, and a brief but distinguished career in civil administration, he entered the Congregation of the Assumption, a lay association. In 1657, he volunteered as a missionary in Asia, was appointed Titular Bishop of Beirut and left for Asia in 1660. Arrived in Siam, he made pastoral visits in Cochinchina (Southern Vietnam) and throughout Vietnam, educating and ordaining native priests, giving courage to dispersed communities, trying to settle the many rivalries between missionary orders and to improve tense relations with the authorities, while living the deep spiritual life of a mystic of the Cross. He died in 1679.His work is part of the considerable development of missions in the seventeenth century under the leadership of Pope Gregory XV. In France, Pierre Lambert de la Motte played a key role in the birth of the Paris Foreign Missions Society in 1658, for China and South-East Asia. They were to work tirelessly, following the Roman Instructions of 1659: refusal of secularization and politicization, respect for indigenous cultures, accession of the local Churches to autonomy and consolidation of their ...

The Hospitaller Knights of Saint John at Rhodes 1306-1522 - Gordon Ellyson Abercrombie Abercrombie
The first of a series of volumes on the Hospitaller Knights of Saint John, this volume covers the period 1306–1522.The Hospitaller Knights had developed during the Crusades from a monastic order providing hostels for Christian pilgrims visiting the Holy Land. The need to provide armed escorts to these pilgrims brought about their evolution into a Military Order. An elite component of Crusader armies, Hospitallers were involved in most large-scale Christian-Saracen engagements following the First Crusade. Taking to the sea, the Hospitallers became a major naval power in the Mediterranean. The author draws on the work of the Order’s official historians, Giacomo Bosio and his successor Bartolomeo dal Pozzo. He transcribes their writings for the modern reader, while also presenting new information revealed in the 400 years of scholarship since Bosio’s death in 1627. This volume opens with Hospitaller relocation from Cyprus to Rhodes during the years 1306 to 1309 while introducing other entities wielding power in the Eastern Mediterranean, including Mamluk Egypt, Turkish beyliks emerging from disintegration of the Seljuk Empire, the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire, Cyprus itself, and not least, the Republic of Venice controlling most Aegean islands.

Selected Poems of Edward Thomas - Thomas Edward
When Edward Thomas was killed at the Battle of Arras in 1917 his poems were largely unpublished. But in the years since his death, his work has come to be cherished for its rare, sustained vision of the natural world and as ''a mirror of England'' (Walter de la Mare). This edition, drawn from Thomas''s manuscripts and typescripts as well as from his published works, offers an accessible introduction to this most resonant - and relevant - of poets.''In his lifetime, he was known and loved by a very, loving few. Now, since his death, he is known and loved by very many, and yearly this is more so. There is in his poems an unassumingly profound sense of permanence. A war came and ditched him, but his poems stay with no other wounds than those which caused them.'' Dylan Thomas ''A very fine poet. And a poet all in his own right. The accent is absolutely his own.'' Robert Frost''The one hundred and forty poems he wrote in the last two years of his life are a miracle. I can think of no body of work in English that is more mysterious.'' Michael Longley

Theory of the Rearguard - Ivan de la Nuez
Theory of the Rearguard examines how contemporary art is in tension with survival, rather than in relation to life. In the twentieth century, Peter Burger''s Theory of the Avant-Garde was a cult book focused on the two main tasks that art demanded at the time: to break its representation and to destroy the barrier that separated it from life. Forty years later, The Theory of the Rearguard is an ironic manifesto about contemporary art and its failures, even though Ivan de la Nuez does not waste his time mourning it or disguising it. He argues that our times are not characterized by the distance between art and life, but by a tension between art and survival, which is the continuation of life by any means necessary. In the twenty-first century, Ivan de la Nuez examines art in relationship to politics, iconography, and literature. This austere and sharp book in which Duchamp stumbles upon Lupe, the revolution upon the museum, Paul Virilio upon Joan Fontcuberta or Fukuyama upon Michael Jackson wonders if contemporary art will ever end. Because if it were mortal-''just as mortal as everything it invokes or examines under its magnifying glass''-de la Nuez argues would be worth writing ... Unknown localization key: "more"

La isla de la fantasia : El colonialismo, la explotacion y la traicion a Puerto Rico
Un recuento crucial y preciso de los 122 anos de Puerto Rico como colonia de los EE. UU.A dos años del huracán MarÃa, Puerto Rico aún sigue recuperándose de la destrucción fÃsica de la tormenta y el colapso de la infraestructura resultante. La devastación agravó los efectos dañinos de más de un siglo causados por la explotación de Estados Unidos con sus polÃticas económicas, sociales y de asuntos polÃticos, incluido el trauma infligido por su crisis de deuda de 72 mil millones de dólares.En La isla de la fantasÃa, el periodista Ed Morales describe cómo, a lo largo de los años, Puerto Rico ha servido como un satélite colonial, una vitrina de la Guerra FrÃa del Caribe, un vertedero de productos manufacturados en Estados Unidos y un refugio fiscal corporativo. Emprendiendo al lector en un viaje ida y vuelta de San Juan a la ciudad de Nueva York, La isla de la fantasÃa es un relato crucial y claro de los 122 años de Puerto Rico como colonia de los Estados Unidos.

The End of the Cognitive Empire - Boaventura de Sousa Santos
In The End of the Cognitive Empire Boaventura de Sousa Santos further develops his concept of the "epistemologies of the South," in which he outlines a theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical framework for challenging the dominance of Eurocentric thought. As a collection of knowledges born of and anchored in the experiences of marginalized peoples who actively resist capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy, epistemologies of the South represent those forms of knowledge that are generally discredited, erased, and ignored by dominant cultures of the global North. Noting the declining efficacy of established social and political solutions to combat inequality and discrimination, Santos suggests that global justice can only come about through an epistemological shift that guarantees cognitive justice. Such a shift would create new, alternative strategies for political mobilization and activism and give oppressed social groups the means through which to represent the world as their own and in their own terms.

La importancia de llamarse Ernesto / El abanico de lady Windermere - Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) es para muchos la figura emblemática del dandi inglés. Pero esa imagen del artista del esteticismo extremado también se vincula a la figura perseguida por la hipócrita moral dominante de su tiempo. Durante décadas después de su muerte, Wilde fue objeto de controversia y, a pesar de la condena judicial y moral a la que fue sometido, el interés del público por su obra no decreció. Su producción abarca casi todos los géneros literarios (novela, cuento, ensayo, poesía), pero es en sus obras teatrales donde despliega todo su talento artístico, como lo demuestran La importancia de llamarse Ernesto y El abanico de lady Windermere. Wilde se sirvió en ellas de las convenciones y temas del teatro de su tiempo, especialmente del melodrama y de la comedia de costumbres del teatro clásico inglés, pero, gracias al ingenio verbal que le caracterizaba y a su singular capacidad para reírse de la realidad circundante sin causar la reacción negativa del público, logró trascender sus modelos y dignificar un género que se hallaba en decadencia artística.

Porque incluso mientras se cumplen las señales, el Espíritu Santo está atrayendo a creyentes de todo el mundo a morar en el único lugar seguro de la tierra: la presencia de Dios.Pero, ¿qué es la presencia de Dios? ¿Cómo accedemos a ella? ¿Cómo sabremos que estamos en ella?

Los celos de Teresa por Tomás, el terco amor de éste por ella, opuesto a su irrefrenable deseo de otras mujeres, el idealismo de Franz, amante de Sabina, y la necesidad de ésta, amante también de Tomás, de perseguir una libertad que tan sólo la conduce a la insoportable levedad del ser, se convierten de simple anécdota en reflexión sobre problemas que nos afectan a todos.
