Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A pioneering biography of George Orwell told through moments of everyday life'A fascinating, oblique take. Revelatory and very insightful.' William Boyd, author ofThe PredicamentWhen we think about Orwell, we imagine an angular, moustachioed sceptic crouched over a typewriter, who - between puffs on his cigarette - composes effortless streams of prose, unadorned but explosive. We see a man with 'Important Things to Say' about: the slow creep of authoritarianism; the consequences of all-seeing tech; the fragility of truth.Much less often do we see him as a person caught up in the business of everyday life. And yet Orwell's work thrums with the quotidian: the smell of boiled cabbage, the chill of an unheated flat in early spring, the rumbling of old pipes.A Bright Cold Day reveals how the principles that govern us begin in the mundane. From waking and showering to breakfast, work, lunch, the pub, sleep and dreaming, Orwell was never dulled to the routines of living. And in the details of the day, we can understand how power, money, freedom and choice play out, not just for Orwell's literary characters, but for us all.\*\*\*'Summons one of the biggest questions we face nowadays, the relationship between fiction and reality.'Andrew O'Hagan, author ofCaledonian Road'A clever, offbeat history of mid-century Britainthrough George Orwell's eyes.'Helen Lewis'An astute and intimate portrait of George Orwell.'

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A comprehensive overview of the most misunderstood movement in modern Islam: Salafism.The Salafi movement invokes fear and dread in outsiders who treat Salafism as synonymous with religious extremism. For Salafis themselves, it's a jealously guarded title, always in danger of dilution. Salafism has changed the face of Islam; its ideas reach far outside its own ranks. Yet popular portrayals never go beyond hackneyed stereotypes.In Understanding Salafism, Dr Yasir Qadhi delves into the origins of the movement, from the earliest debates in Islam to Salafism today, in both the Western and Islamic worlds. In an analysis covering Salafism in the Middle East, Europe, the United States and Africa, he illuminates Salafism's theological ideas, the debates within Salafism about political participation, and its relationship to other schools in Sunni Islam.-----Yasir Qadhiis a resident scholar of the East Plano Islamic Center in Texas, and dean of the Islamic Seminary of America. He is one of the few people who has combined a traditional Eastern Islamic seminary education with Western academic training in the study of Islam.-----Table of ContentsList of Figures Preface Conventions 1 Introduction: A Bird's Eye View of Salafism2 A Comprehensive History of Salafi Thought: From its Origins to Modernity3 Wahhabism and Salafism4 Salafism and Islamism: A Case Study of the Muslim Brotherhood5 The Phenomenon of Jihadi-Salafism6 Global Salafism in the Contemporary WorldEpilogueNotesBibliography Index.…
