Jesus in the Talmud - Peter Schafer

Scattered throughout the Talmud, the founding document of rabbinic Judaism in late antiquity, can be found quite a few references to Jesus--and they''re not flattering. In this lucid, richly detailed, and accessible book, Peter Schäfer examines how the rabbis of the Talmud read, understood, and used the New Testament Jesus narrative to assert, ultimately, Judaism''s superiority over Christianity. The Talmudic stories make fun of Jesus'' birth from a virgin, fervently contest his claim to be the Messiah and Son of God, and maintain that he was rightfully executed as a blasphemer and idolater. They subvert the Christian idea of Jesus'' resurrection and insist he got the punishment he deserved in hell--and that a similar fate awaits his followers. Schäfer contends that these stories betray a remarkable familiarity with the Gospels--especially Matthew and John--and represent a deliberate and sophisticated anti-Christian polemic that parodies the New Testament narratives. He carefully distinguishes between Babylonian and Palestinian sources, arguing that the rabbis'' proud and self-confident countermessage to that of the evangelists was possible only in the unique historical setting of Persian Babylonia, in a Jewish community that lived in relative freedom. The same could not be said of Roman and Byzantine Palestine, where the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Music in the 80s - Peter Woolliscroft

Popular music of the 80s decade had its own unique sound. Shaped by breathtaking developments in studio recording equipment and techniques, from digital processing to sampling, the music that is still enjoyed today would not be the same without it. This book tells the story of how one such young engineer/producer navigated his way through this exciting and pivotal period in music history by working with this technology within the confines of the last great era of recording studios, from 1978 to 1988. This was all before musicians and producers retired to their bedrooms with a laptop. Using diaries recorded at the time, Peter Woolliscroft lifts the curtain on the private world of the closed session, with daily accounts of all projects worked on, how they were made, who made them and most importantly how they became hits. It tells of the highs and lows, the expectations and disappointments of recording many of the top acts of the day while navigating the various technical challenges along the way. Along the way, he worked with such names as: Yes, Soft Cell, Cat Stevens, Thin Lizzy, New Order, Buzzcocks, Psychedelic Furs, 10cc, John Cooper Clarke, Frank Zappa, Kate Bush, The Who, Queen, ...

In the Arena - Peter Shea

In the Arena profiles 34 American leaders who captured their party’s nomination for the presidency, but never reached the Oval Office. Author Peter Shea tells of the rise, early career, campaign and later achievements of historical giants like Aaron Burr and Henry Clay, up through modern candidates Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton. A foreword by 1988 candidate Michael Dukakis gives readers more personal insight into what it’s like to run for one of the most powerful positions in the world – and come up short.Photos of monuments and other memorials accompany each subject, along with campaign memorabilia, illustrating the legacy many of these candidates left behind after relinquishing their dreams of serving as President of the United States. In a speech that gave the book its name, President Theodore Roosevelt gave ultimate credit “to the man who is actually in the arena…who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” In the Arena honors, in words and pictures, their courage and sacrifices.

Both Jews and Christians developed myths about his cruelty and rashness: in Christian tradition he was cast as the tyrant who ordered the Massacre of the Innocents; in the Talmud, despite fond memories of his glorious Temple in Jerusalem, he was recalled as a persecutor of rabbis.  The life of Herod is better documented than that of any other Jew from antiquity, and Martin Goodman examines the extensive literary and archaeological evidence to provide a vivid portrait of Herod in his sociopolitical context: his Idumaean origins, his installation by Rome as king of Judaea and cultivation of leading ...

Základní příručka pro každého, kdo chce pochopit, proč je antisemitismus tak prastarý a zároveň na vzestupu. Světově uznávaný judaista Peter Schäfer vypráví, jak se antisemitské stereotypy šířily již od antiky, jak vedly k pronásledování, ničení a zabíjení a jsou živé i po šoa. Již v předkřesťanské době se objevovala nenávist vůči Židům, ale Nový zákon této nenávisti poskytl živnou půdu v podobě legend: Pavel zaútočil na tradiční židovství, Matouš se zaměřil na vinu všeho židovského lidu a Jan vykreslil Židy jako syny temnoty. Schäfer připomíná například středověké pálení talmudu v Paříži a motiv židovské svině, Lutherovu nenávist a výzvu ke zničení Židů v novověku, společensky akceptovaný antisemitismus v době osvícenství. Z předpeklí Výmarské republiky přes třetí říši se dostává k současnému islámskému antisemitismu i k tomu, jak dědictví antisemitismu souvisí s novým nástupem pravicových ideologií.

The Second Sword and My Day in the Other Land are two novellas by the 2019 Nobel laureate Peter Handke.

Here a man has returned to his home in the suburbs of Paris, only to soon set out again. Why? We learn, over the course of a story redolent of Handke’s harrowing A Sorrow Beyond Dreams, that he is seeking to avenge his mother, who has been unjustly denounced in the pages of a newspaper.

Railways in Devon and Cornwall in the Late 20th Century - Peter J Green

Devon and Cornwall have long been attractive destinations, not only for holidaymakers, but also for railway enthusiasts, and it was in Devon, during a family holiday in 1959 that the author’s passion for railways began. Peter started photographing railways at an early age, mainly concentrating on steam, but he made some visits to Devon in the 1970s, to see the Western Class diesel-hydraulics running along the coast. They were being replaced by Class 50 diesel-electrics at the time. More time was spent in Devon in the 1970s and early 1980s photographing preserved railways as well as the modern scene, and an Easter visit to Goodrington became a regular event for several years. The 1986 West of England resignalling scheme provided a good reason for a further series of visits to Devon to record the mechanical signal boxes, semaphore signalling and associated equipment before it all disappeared. The first of the author’s many trips to Cornwall was in the summer of 1984, when he spent ten days attempting to photograph the entire Cornish railway system. Although an impossible task, the Class 37s on the china clay operations, as well as all the 'Peaks', Class 47s and 50s on the main lines, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Imperial Japan and Defeat in the Second World War - Prof. Peter Wetzler

Informed Western understanding of Imperial Japan still often conjures up images of militarism, blind devotion to leaders, and fanatical pride in the country. But, as Imperial Japan and Defeat in the Second World War reveals, Western imagination is often reductive in its explanation of the Japanese Empire and its collapse. In his analysis of the Emperor, Imperial Japanese Army and Navy during the Second World War, Peter Wetzler examines the disconnect between nation and state during wartime Japan and in doing so offers a much-needed nuanced and sensitive corrective to existing Western scholarship. Rooted in the perspective of the Japanese, Wetzler makes available to readers vital primary and secondary Japanese archival sources; most notably, this book provides the first English assessment of the recently-released Actual Record of the Showa Emperor. This book is an important advance in English-language studies of the Second World War in Asia, and is thus essential reading for all those wishing to understand this crucial period in Japanese history.

Peter Nitsch: Tango In The Big Mango

What happens when street photography, conceptual art, and documentation are combined? The result is a unique panorama of images, whose versatility allows it to capture the sometimes abysmal, sometimes dazzling multiple facets of Bangkok. The photographer Peter Nitsch has captured the streets, people, and life in the Thai capital with his sensitive feel for the right moment and the special detail. This illustrated book turns readers into companions on his visual tour of discovery. Nitsch’s camera makes us see the city’s rhythm as a tango, which owes its idiosyncratic movement to the interaction of different cultures. A comparison that not only rhymes with “mango” (Bangkok’s nickname) but also translates the sweet and sour taste of the fruit into visual intoxication.
