God in Context : Selected Essays on Society and Religion in the Early Middle East (9783161564703)

-


In this work, Karel van der Toorn explores the social setting, the intellectual milieu, and the historical context of the beliefs and practices reflected in the Hebrew Bible. While fully recognizing the unique character of early Israelite religion, the author challenges the notion of its incomparability. Beliefs are anchored in culture. Rituals have societal significance. God has a history. By shifting the focus to the context, the essays gathered here yield a deeper understanding of Israelite religion and the origins of the Bible.

My Dinner with Andre : A Screenplay (0802130631)

-
Gambar
My Dinner with Andre is a passionate, volatile, and humorous encounter between two friends who have not seen each other for a long time, and decide to catch up on each others' lives over dinner. Andre Gregory is an intense, highly experimental theater director and playwright in search of life's meanings and spiritual revelations. His friend, Wally Shawn, is an actor and playwright living in New York who is more preoccupied with the search for his next meal. As Andre recounts his global journeys involving esoteric theatrical experiments and mystical adventures, Wally listens with more than skepticism, as his attitudes shift among wonder, puzzlement, admiration, and anger. What finally emerges is a sensitive portrait of a friendship that survives and transcends contransting assumptions about love, death, art, and man's continuing quest for self-fulfillment.

ARTE DE TRATAR CON LAS MUJERES, EL (9788420651354)

En "El arte de tratar con las mujeres", Franco Volpi ha recopilado y ordenado una antología de textos y sentencias en las que el feroz misógino que fue Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) expone sus ideas acerca del papel de la mujer en la existencia humana. Volumen proyectado con un espíritu lúdico que respira ya la misma introducción, su contenido resulta hoy, afortunadamente, un risible catálogo de consejos destinados a prevenir al varón frente a la ardua relación con el bello sexo o un repertorio de resentidas invectivas más motivo de curiosidad que otra cosa. Dependiendo del lector, sus líneas políticamente incorrectas moverán sin duda a sonrisa o a indignación. Sea una u otra, conviene, sin embargo, no perder de vista que el fondo que subyace tras muchas de estas sentencias es el que ha nutrido hasta hace muchos menos años de los que podríamos suponer buena parte de los pensamientos masculinos, y que posiblemente en muchos casos aún lo sigue haciendo.
