Les f�tes juives. R�flexions sur les solennit�s du juda�sme. Commentaires sur le Cantique des cantiques les Lamentations l'Eccl�siaste et le livre de Job.
Paris.: Les �ditions du Cerf 2008 194 pages. Livre neuf. Collection "Patrimoines - Juda�sme". R�SUM�: "Les f�tes et solennit�s occupent une place essentielle dans le juda�sme elles incarnent les grandes valeurs et v�hiculent le message de cette foi qui la premi�re proclama le monoth�isme. Elles r�sument sa geste l�gendaire tragique et joyeuse. Au cours de sa r�flexion sur les f�tes Yeshayahou Leibowitz bouscule bien des id�es pr�con�ues sur le juda�sme : sur le r�le de Dieu dans l'histoire sur l'importance relative des diff�rentes f�tes. C'est aussi l'occasion pour l'auteur de commenter les � rouleaux � - Cantique des cantiques Ruth Lamentations Eccl�siaste - lus lors des c�l�brations. Ce livre transcription de causeries hebdomadaires � la radio de 1975 � 1982 comble une lacune dans les publications en langue fran�aise o� il n'existe aucun ouvrage couvrant la totalit� de la liturgie juive."

Lenz Siegfried; Skelton Geoffrey translation from the German
The Training Ground
New York New York U.S.A.: Henry Holt & Company 1991. Book. Near-Fine. Hardcover. First U.S. Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-fine copy. Stated First American Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $24.95. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing or tears inside book. 425 pages. Dustcover shows slight wear NO tears. From Publishers Weekly Bruno Messmer guileless narrator of this study of emotional death and nationalist tensions in postwar Germany was saved from drowning at WW II's end by the Zeller family. Now more than 30 years later he stands to inherit the most valuable tracts of Herr Konrad Zeller's vast tree nursery in the German region of Schleswig. Bruno and his rescuers Sudeten Germans who lost everything in the war are treated as outcasts by their Danish-descended neighbors in the bleak coastal community. Max Zeller one of the sons of "the chief"preaches a communitarian gospel against private possessions but attempts to deprive Bruno of his inheritance as do the others while Dorothea Konrad's long-suffering wife looks on. When the German authorities pass regulations reminiscent of the Nazi racial laws stipulating that all trees must have a proper pedigree the strains in the Zeller household become intolerable. Lenz's The German Lesson brooding portrayal of a family's slow disintegration resonates with symbols of a postwar Germany unable to resuscitate itself spiritually. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information Inc. From Library Journal In this allegorical novel a plot of land that has long served as a training ground for soldiers becomes an apt metaphor for Germany. The land has been dramatically transformed into a prosperous internationally respected plantation for the cultivation of young trees by its current owner Herr Zeller but its future is clouded as he grows old and attempts to protect his work from his not-always-sympathetic heirs. The Zellers are originally from the Eastern provinces lost after World War II and their rise to prominence and struggle to become accepted by their grudging North German neighbors is described by Bruno a narrator with a limited perspective who in his goodness and simplicity understands the flora and the fauna of the plantation more clearly than he does the conflict within the family that he has observed for so long. Highly recommended. - Michael T. O'Pecko Towson State Univ. Md. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information Inc. Henry Holt & Company Hardcover

LEON PORTILLA MIGUEL; DAVIS JACK EMORY TRANSLATION
Aztec Thought And Culture: A Study Of The Ancient Nahuatl Mind
University of Oklahoma Press Norman: . Softcover. Brand new book. For at least two millennia before the advent of the Spaniards in 1519 there was a flourishing civilization in central Mexico. During that long span of time a cultural evolution took place which saw a high development of the arts and literature the formulation of complex religious doctrines systems of education and diverse political and social organization. The rich documentation concerning these people commonly called Aztecs includes in addition to a few codices written before the Conquest thousands of folios in the Nahuatl or Aztec language written by natives after the Conquest. Adapting the Latin alphabet which they had been taught by the missionary friars to their native tongue they recorded poems chronicles and traditions. The fundamental concepts of ancient Mexico presented and examined in this book have been taken from more than ninety original Aztec documents. They concern the origin of the universe and of life conjectures on the mystery of God the possibility of comprehending things beyond the realm of experience life after death and the meaning of education history and art. The philosophy of the Nahuatl wise men which probably stemmed from the ancient doctrines and traditions of the Teotihuacans and Toltecs quite often reveals profound intuition and in some instances is remarkably "modern." This English edition is not a direct translation of the original Spanish but an adaptation and rewriting of the text for the English-speaking reader. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: paperback
