From the New York Times and National Jewish Book Award winning author of EliÂ’s Promise and A Place to Hide: a gripping novel of bravery, betrayal, exile, and hope set in World War II BudapestAt the end of 1943, nearly all of EuropeÂ’s Jewish population had been deported, captured or killed by Hitler, or had fled; only Hungary retained almost 800,000 Jews. They lived under edicts and restrictions, but without fear of being murdered. That changed in March 1944, after the Nazi defeat at Stalingrad, as a desperate Hitler accelerated his plan for mass extermination. With the notorious Adolf Eichmann supervising the process, Hungary began rounding up its Jewish population. In this dramatic new novel by Ronald H. Balson, US State department diplomat Teddy Hartigan and his wife Julia set out to rescue as many people as they can. Working with the newly-formed War Review Board, diplomats from neutral nations, and underground resistance groups, Teddy and Julia make contact with Swedish businessman Raoul Wallenberg. WallenbergÂ’s connections and skills make him the perfect candidate to work within the complex networks of public and secret diplomacy, as he, Teddy, Julia, and others take enormous risks to save tens of thousands of lives.Authentic, ...

Eliho slib je mistrným dílem historické fikce, jehož děj se odvíjí ve třech časových pásmech: v nacisty okupovaném Polsku, americké zóně poválečného Německa a v Chicagu během války ve Vietnamu. Ronald H. Balson, nositel Národní židovské knižní ceny za literaturu, v knize zkoumá cenu války, ambivalentní hodnotu přežití a nezlomitelnou sílu rodinných pout.1939: Eli Rosen žije se svou ženou Ester a jejich malým synkem v polském Lublinu, kde má jeho rodina stavební společnost. Ta je vyvlastněna nacisty a svěřena do správy Maxmiliánovi Poleskému, bezpáteřnímu šmelináři. Vznikne tak vratké spojenectví: pokud se Eli bude starat o obchod, Maxmilián zajistí jeho rodině bezpečí. Dostane Poleski svému slibu, nebo jejich vztah skončí zradou a tragédií?1946: Eli spolu se synem bydlí ve Spojenci ovládaném Německu a pevně doufá v udělení víz do Ameriky. Svou ženu od války neviděl. Po táboře se potuluje muž, jenž prodává nelegální americká víza – nezná její osud třeba on?1965: Eli si pronajme pokoj v chicagské čtvrti Albany Park. Je na misi. S trpělivostí, mazaností a neutuchajícím úsilím se proplétá neznámými ulicemi Chicaga i nebezpečnou politickou hrou a pátrá přitom po pravdě o Esteřině zmizení, jež mu poslední čtvrt století zůstává záhadou.Silný a emotivní román Ronalda H.

“In the Garden of the Righteous brilliantly describes how in the midst of the brutality of the Holocaust and the collaboration, acquiescence and passivity of millions, there were people who risked their lives to save others out of a sense of shared humanity. This book is more timely than ever.”—Stuart E. Eizenstat, author of Imperfect Justice: Looted Assets, Slave Labor, and the Unfinished Business of World War IIThese powerfully illuminating and inspiring profiles pay tribute to the incredible deeds of the Righteous Among the Nations, little-known heroes who saved countless lives during the Holocaust.Less than a century ago, the Second World War took the lives of more than fifty million people; more than six million of them were systematically exterminated through crimes of such enormity that a new name to describe the horror was coined: the Holocaust. Yet amid such darkness, there were glimmers of light—courageous individuals who risked everything to save those hunted by the Nazis. Today, as bigotry and intolerance and the threats of fascism and authoritarianism are ascendent once again, these heroes’ little-known stories—among the most remarkable in human history—resonate powerfully.

''A landmark contribution to humanity''s understanding of itself'' The New York TimesWhy can it sometimes feel as though half the population is living in a different moral universe? Why do ideas such as ''fairness'' and ''freedom'' mean such different things to different people? Why is it so hard to see things from another viewpoint? Why do we come to blows over politics and religion?Jonathan Haidt reveals that we often find it hard to get along because our minds are hardwired to be moralistic, judgemental and self-righteous. He explores how morality evolved to enable us to form communities, and how moral values are not just about justice and equality - for some people authority, sanctity or loyalty matter more. Morality binds and blinds, but, using his own research, Haidt proves it is possible to liberate ourselves from the disputes that divide good people.

''a brilliant history'' The Sunday Times ''makes for riveting reading'' The IndependentModern pagan witchcraft is arguably the only fully-formed religion England has given the world, and has now spread across four continents.This second edition of The Triumph of the Moon extensively revises the first full-scale scholarly study of modern pagan witchcraft. Ronald Hutton examines the nature and development of this religion, and offers a history of attitudes to witchcraft, paganism and magic in British society since 1800. Its pages reveal village cunning folk, Victorian ritual magicians, classicists and archaeologists, leaders of woodcraft and scouting movements, Freemasons, and members of rural secret societies. We also find some of the leading figures of English literature, from the Romantic poets to W. B. Yeats, D. H. Lawrence and Robert Graves, as well as the main personalities who have represented pagan witchcraft to the public world since 1950. Thriller writers like Dennis Wheatley, and films and television programmes, get similar coverage, as does tabloid journalism. The material is by its nature often sensational, and care is taken throughout to distinguish fact from fantasy, in a manner not previously applied to most of the stories involved.

Why have societies all across the world feared witchcraft? This book delves deeply into its context, beliefs, and origins in Europe’s history"Traces the idea of witches far beyond the Salem witch trials to beliefs and attitudes about witches around the world throughout history.”—Los Angeles Times The witch came to prominence—and often a painful death—in early modern Europe, yet her origins are much more geographically diverse and historically deep. In this landmark book, Ronald Hutton traces witchcraft from the ancient world to the early-modern stake.  This book sets the notorious European witch trials in the widest and deepest possible perspective and traces the major historiographical developments of witchcraft. Hutton, a renowned expert on ancient, medieval, and modern paganism and witchcraft beliefs, combines Anglo-American and continental scholarly approaches to examine attitudes on witchcraft and the treatment of suspected witches across the world, including in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Australia, and North and South America, and from ancient pagan times to current interpretations. His fresh anthropological and ethnographical approach focuses on cultural inheritance and change while considering shamanism, folk religion, the range of witch trials, and how the fear of witchcraft might be eradicated.

The Time by the Sea is about Ronald Blythe''s life in Aldeburgh during the 1950s. He had originally come to the Suffolk coast as an aspiring young writer, but found himself drawn into Benjamin Britten''s circle and began working for the Aldeburgh Festival. Although befriended by Imogen Holst and by E M Forster, part of him remained essentially solitary, alone in the landscape while surrounded by a stormy cultural sea. But this memoir gathers up many early experiences, sights and sounds: with Britten he explored ancient churches; with the botanist Denis Garrett he took delight in the marvellous shingle beaches and marshland plants; he worked alongside the celebrated photo-journalist Kurt Hutton. His muse was Christine Nash, wife of the artist John Nash. Published to coincide with the centenary of Britten''s birth, this is a tale of music and painting, unforgettable words and fears. It describes the first steps of an East Anglian journey, an intimate appraisal of a vivid and memorable time.

In the present selections, Ibn al-Qayyim focuses on the application of the wisdom of God to the existence of evil.Ibn al-Qayyim first discusses twenty-six wise purposes behind God creating humanity and settling them on Earth. His perspective is that whatever exists in this world is either purely or preponderantly good, or indirectly leads to a greater good. Ibn Qayyim then explores how the presence of evil allows the manifestation of many of God''s Beautiful Names, glorious attributes and compassionate actions; while, for humanity, the existence of evil provides the righteous with opportunities to strive against it, for Paradise can only be reached by ''traversing a bridge of hardships and tribulations''.The discussion of the existence of evil ...

The Psalms: helpful but hard. Davis is well qualified for the task of making sense of the complexities. With his recognisable humour and razor–sharp observations, these expositions help us to engage with the conflict in these twelve psalms. When life gets tough, Davis invites us to set up camp and sit with the Psalmist whose experience of dark days can point you to the God who understands and upholds.  In this third instalment of his essential guide to the Psalms, trusted theologian Dale Ralph Davis leads readers through a careful study of Psalms 25–37 with clear application for daily life. Using his own translation, Davis sets out a verse–by–verse exposition and crystallises the Psalmist’s message with cross–references to situate the passages in broader biblical context. With illustrations from history and personal experience, the truth comes alive.  An indispensable accompaniment to the Psalms. Suitable for use as a personal study guide or as a reference and teaching guide for facilitating small group study.  Read the rest of the series:The Way of the Righteous in the Muck of Life: Psalms1–12Slogging Along in the Paths of Righteousness: Psalms13–24My Exceeding Joy: Psalms 38–51Â
