    Therefore, in the process of destroying the myth and the preconception, he is making us see that that encampment of death and suffering may have been more horrible than we had ever imagined. It was slavery in its ultimate embodiment. He is making us understand that the etiology of Auschwitz - to some, a diabolical, perhaps freakish excrescence, which vanished from the face of the earth with the destruction of the crematoria in 1945 - is actually embedded deeply in a cultural tradition that stretches back to the Middle Passage from the coast of Africa, and beyond, to the enforced servitude in ancient Greece and Rome. Rubenstein is saying that we ignore this linkage, and the existence of the sleeping virus in the bloodstream of civilization, at risk of our future."From William Styron's Introduction

    

    Using his life experiences for much of the action in the novel, Zupan introduces us to Jakob Bergant Berk, a man lost in two places and times. Slip-sliding between occupied Slovenia in the 1940s and a Spanish resort in the 1970s, we move from harrowing wartime guerrilla fighting to Berk’s curious encounter with Joseph Bitter, a former German soldier, during vacation in Spain. In the war, Berk is an apolitical non-conformist swept along by events over which he has little control, and some thirty years later, still traumatised by his wartime experiences, he tries to make sense of his memories in discussions with his old enemy Bitter.Once rumoured that it was used by the CIA as a manual for guerrilla warfare, Minuet for Guitar is a powerful examination of war on par with Céline’s Journey to the End of the Night, a modern Slovenian classic filled with philosophical ruminations and told in Zupan’s casual, ironic and even seductive voice.War is also a dance. The war dance had begun, they say. A minuet. Accompanied by a twenty-five-shot guitar.

    Emma Bell Miles, however, had two advantages that most of the writers lacked: her familiarity with the region that lent insight and subtlety to her analysis; and a consciously dual perspective on her own life and the lives of mountain people gave her writing a generous scope and fine balance. First published in 1905, The Spirit of the Mountains remains one of the few books about Appalachia that neither romanticizes nor condescends not depends on the unconscious acceptance of middle-class, mainstream American values for its analysis.Although Miles lived on Walden's Ridge in the southern Cumberlands with her husband and family, her work as a writer and painter involved her with the wealthy society people of Chattanooga and she was a perceptive observer of the complex interplay between mountain life and life elsewhere. Her feelings about both were ambivalent; however, her intelligence, integrity, and honesty made her acutely conscious of the strengths and weaknesses as well as the coherence and contradictions of both mountain people and those of the city. This intimate awareness of the cultural and social fabric of mountain life reveals itself in the book's skillful and realistic portrayal of the music, religion, traditions, and lore of the mountains.Publisher: New York, J. Pott Publication date: 1905 Subjects: Appalachians (People)

    Hailed by critics as an "extraordinary" and "magnificent" achievement, Hurvitz's translation is based on the best known Chinese version of the text and includes passages of the original Sanskrit that were omitted from the Chinese.Beloved for its mythology and literary artistry, the Lotus Sutra is one of the most popular and influential texts of Mahayana Buddhism, asserting that there is only one path to enlightenment, the bodhisattva path, and that all followers without exception can achieve supreme awakening. The text argues that the Buddha cannot be delimited by time and space and that a common intent underlies the diversity of Buddhist teachings. Through parables of the burning house, the wayward son, and other tales that have come to be known throughout East Asia, the sutra skillfully concretizes abstract religious concepts and clarifies bold claims about the Buddhist tradition. Urging devotees to revivify doctrine through recitation and interpretation, the sutra powered an organic process of remaking that not only kept its content alive in the poetry and art of premodern Asia but also introduced new forms of practice and scriptural study into contemporary Buddhism. Stephen F. Teiser's foreword addresses this vital quality of the sutra, discusses its background, and reflects on the enduring relevance of Hurvitz's critical work.
