Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An award-winning journalist presents an even-handed, thoroughly researched examination of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and illustrates how a shocking yet little-known massacre one century ago in what was then Palestine became ground zero of a war that continues to devastate. '[A] compelling story. . . . If you are going to read one book to help you understand the current Middle East tragedy, this is it.' -Yossi Klein Halevi, senior fellow, Shalom Hartman Institute, and author of the New York Times bestseller Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor In 1929, in the sacred city of Hebron-then governed by the British Mandate of Palestine-there was no occupation, state of Israel, or settlers. Jews and Muslims lived peacefully near the burial place of Abraham, patriarch of the Jewish and Arab nations, until one Saturday morning when nearly 70 Jewish men, women, and children were slaughtered by their Arab neighbors. The Hebron massacre was a seminal event in the Arab-Israeli conflict, key to understanding its complexities. The echoes of 1929 in Hamas's massacre of October 7, 2023, illustrate how little has changed-and how much of our perspective must change if peace is ever to come to this tortured land and its people, who are destined to share it. Noted journalist Yardena Schwartz draws on her extensive research and wide-ranging interviews with both sides to tell a timely, eye-opening story. She expertly weaves the war between Israel and Hamas into a historical framework, demonstrating how the conflict today cannot be understood without the context of ground zero of this century-old war, which began long before the occupation, the settlements, or the state of Israel ever existed.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Henry David Thoreau reflects on life, politics, and society in these two inspiring masterworks: Walden and 'Civil Disobedience.' In 1845, Thoreau moved to a cabin that he built with his own hands along the shores of Walden Pond in Massachusetts. Shedding the trivial ties that he felt bound much of humanity, Thoreau drew both physical and mental inspiration from the land, and he pursued truth in the quiet of nature. In Walden, he explains how separating oneself from the world of men can truly awaken the sleeping self. Thoreau holds fast to the notion that you have not truly existed until you adopt such a lifestyle--and only then can you reenter society, as an enlightened being. These simple but profound musings--as well as 'Civil Disobedience,' his protest against the government's interference with civil liberty--have inspired many to embrace his philosophy of individualism and his love of nature. More than a century and a half later, his message is more timely than ever.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 312 pp. Englisch.

The stunning Frankenstein special edition features sprayed edges, color end pages, a built-in ribbon bookmark, and embossed foil cover. The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you're reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. Dr. Victor Frankenstein never considers the consequences of his obsession. In his zeal to understand and harness the secret of life, he neglects his family and friends, isolates himself from the world, and ignores his own health. For years, he labors to create a new race of intelligent beings. He spends his nights scrounging human and animal body parts from graveyards, slaughterhouses, and hospital dissection rooms. By day he experiments in his secret laboratory, learning from his mistakes and perfecting the creature who, he believes, will worship him as a god. But this hubris is not his only sin. When he succeeds, Frankenstein is horrified by the ugly brutishness of the patchwork being he has brought to life. Rather than exult in his accomplishment, he runs from it, retreating to the comfort of long-neglected friends and family. Frankenstein has, indeed, created a monster. Not by reanimating dead flesh, but by abandoning his creation and planting within it the seeds of rage and loneliness. Now, the monster is out for revenge. First published in 1818, Frankenstein (also known as The Modern Prometheus) by Mary Shelley stands as a monumental work in the canon of Gothic literature and is widely regarded as one of the first science fiction novels. Conceived during a story contest among friends on a stormy night, Shelley's novel tells the tale of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sentient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. The novel delves into themes of creation and responsibility, examining the consequences of man's ambition and the ethical limits of scientific exploration. Shelley's work is a profound commentary on the potential perils of playing God and the moral obligations creators have to their creations. Today, Frankenstein remains incredibly relevant, echoing in modern debates on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and bioethics. Its exploration of human identity, monstrousness, and isolation also speaks to contemporary issues of social justice and acceptance, making Frankenstein a timeless reflection on the human condition.
