Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On the anniversary of D-Day in 1974, after joining a prestigious Wall Street law firm, Michael Cullen listens to one of his new partners expound on how the United States made a catastrophic mistake in failing to ally itself with Nazi Germany to defeat Soviet Communism. He had to wonder if one of his partners might be a Nazi sympathizer. Cullen is forced to deal with this utterly unexpected issue as it resounds within the firm and, eventually, within his personal life. The novel peels back the sheath of respectability that cloaks the law firm and explores its institutionalized bigotry and the internal dynamics of the partners' conflicting ambitions and values. Eventually Cullen finds himself enmeshed in litigation in which he represents a client he detests.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It's 1947, and in the wake of World War II, the Holocaust, atomic bombs, and a new era in America, four boys in New York City play baseball. Dino, Sean, Bernie, and Aram have, on the surface, very little in common. Dino is the charismatic and outgoing eldest son of a loving Italian family. Sean is the Irish baseball star, his brother dead in the war and his father embalmed in his own grief. Bernie is brash and flirty, but the German-Jewish family he comes from carries heavy scars. And Aram, the studious and sensitive son of Armenian parents, has his sights set on a future in academia. Despite their differences, their time playing baseball together binds them into a team-into 'The Infielders,' as they call themselves. Theirs becomes a deep and meaningful friendship that stretches beyond high school, into adulthood, even as their paths in life diverge. But when disaster and betrayal strike their group, the Infielders must come together to determine how-and if-their fellowship will survive.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Every reading community has ways of confronting moments of embarrassmentin its reading of scriptures. Scripture may be the holy books of religiouscommunities or the foundational texts of civilizations. Contemporary readersof Aristotle who see his writing as foundational for Western philosophy,for example, must confront his views on slavery. This kind of confrontation, whether with religious, philosophical or canonical books of other kinds, may lead readers to reject scripture's claims-or it may motivate them to re-read or misread scripture so as to eliminate, ameliorate or apologize for the problematic passages. Once this misprision has taken place, the formerly ofending scriptures may be re-embraced. A community may also re-embrace scripture by rejecting traditional readings in favor of more originary readings.By entering into that very tension between what Harry Fox calls embarrassmentand embracement, the reader experiences the anxiety of a narrative'spower over a community. That anxiety is most palpable in the ideologicaland theological applications of these foundational works. Applications ofscriptures have included the exploitation of natural resources and their preservation; genocide and ethnic cleansing as well as the promotion of humanrights; slavery and its abolition; homophobia and the acceptance of sexualvariation.The essays in this volume honor Professor Harry Fox (leBeit Yoreh). Writtenin a variety of disciplines, they rethink canonical texts through Fox's rubric,contributing to our understanding of historical and textual moments of embarrassment and embracement. Contributors include Yaakov Elman, PaulHeger, Tirzah Meacham, Yosef Tubi and the late Chana Safrai as well as manystudents, colleagues and friends of Professor Fox.…
