8vo, ril. ed. in sovracop- Una storia della diaspora sefardita, la minoranza ebrea spagnola che, cacciata dalla penisola iberica all'indomani della scoperta dell'America, si insediò nei territori dell'Impero Ottomano, nei Balcani e in Asia minore. E lì si è sviluppata mischiando lingua, tradizioni, costumi e vita sociale con l'Islam mediterraneo. L'Impero Ottomano era un contesto multietnico e multiculturale in cui lingue, religioni e modelli economici e sociali si integravano e in cui gli ebrei, così come greci e armeni, godevano di ampie autonomie e funzionavano di fatto come uno stato nell'Impero, sotto la guida dei rabbini e dei notabili. La nascita di nuovi Stati con forte identità nazionale su base etnica segnerà la fine di quella fase e l'inizio delle persecuzioni. esaurito fuori catalogo. firma di app. altrimenti come nuovo.
8vo, rilegat. ed. sovracoperta, cofanetto. 510pp. «La letteratura dei palazzi, o Hekalot, come si chiamano in ebraico, è antica, misteriosa, difficile. Mette soggezione anche al lettore esperto, abituato a vedersela con i testi astrusi della qabbalah, la sapienza segreta del giudaismo, che si è forgiata tra il XIII e il XVI secolo. Per quanto siano complesse le allegorie dei mistici medievali e della prima età moderna, questi palazzi a perpendicolo su dirupi di luce rimangono una meta proibitiva, quasi irraggiungibile. La letteratura degli Hekalot precede la qabbalah. La precede nel tempo, giacché comincia a costituirsi nei primi secoli dell'età volgare, e la precede nell'ordine mentale e nell'immaginario collettivo. Chi giunge alle dimore divine, e riesce a penetrarvi, entra in un'aristocrazia sapienziale, invidiata e ambita. Il percorso è pericoloso. Alle porte degli edifici superni vigilano guardiani scorbutici e maneschi. Bisogna saperli prendere con le buone, ingraziarseli, oppure aggirarli ricorrendo a qualche aiuto altolocato. Ma non è solo l'itinerario difficile a respingere molti, o forse quasi tutti. Il problema, con cui si scontrava l'adepto in età antica, e che ancora oggi scoraggia più di un lettore, è capire il perché di tanta fatica. Cosa si trova in cielo? Beninteso, non nel cielo volgare dei nostri viaggi intercontinentali. Quello che qui importa è il cielo incontaminato della sapienza primordiale. Il cielo abitato da Dio e dalla sua corte celeste. Il cielo affollato di angeli, protetto da mura altissime di tizzoni accesi, a un tempo percorso da melodie dolcissime e scosso da paurosi boati. Cosa c'è da vedere, cosa c'è da sapere? Questo è l'argomento del nostro libro. Le pagine che seguono sono una risposta alla domanda che, da sempre, s'è fatta a chi torna. Cos'hai visto? Ne valeva la pena? Cosa c'è "là"»?

8vom 240pp. According to a commonplace narrative, the rise of modern political thought in the West resulted from secularizationthe exclusion of religious arguments from political discourse. But in this pathbreaking work, Eric Nelson argues that this familiar story is wrong. Instead, he contends, political thought in early-modern Europe became less, not more, secular with time, and it was the Christian encounter with Hebrew sources that provoked this radical transformation. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Christian scholars began to regard the Hebrew Bible as a political constitution designed by God for the children of Israel. Newly available rabbinic materials became authoritative guides to the institutions and practices of the perfect republic. This thinking resulted in a sweeping reorientation of political commitments. In the books central chapters, Nelson identifies three transformative claims introduced into European political theory by the Hebrew revival: the argument that republics are the only legitimate regimes; the idea that the state should coercively maintain an egalitarian distribution of property; and the belief that a godly republic would tolerate religious diversity. One major consequence of Nelsons work is that the revolutionary politics of John Milton, James Harrington, and Thomas Hobbes appear in a brand-new light. Nelson demonstrates that central features of modern political thought emerged from an attempt to emulate a constitution designed by God. This paradox, a reminder that while we may live in a secular age, we owe our politics to an age of religious fervor, in turn illuminates fault lines in contemporary political discourse.

8vo, hardcover in dj. 387pp. From the award-winning historian of the Holocaust, Europe Against the Jews, 1880-1945 is the first book to move beyond Germany?s singular crime to the collaboration of Europe as a whole. The Holocaust was perpetrated by the Germans, but it would not have been possible without the assistance of thousands of helpers in other countries: state officials, police, and civilians who eagerly supported the genocide. If we are to fully understand how and why the Holocaust happened, Götz Aly argues in this groundbreaking study, we must examine its prehistory throughout Europe. We must look at countries as far-flung as Romania and France, Russia and Greece, where, decades before the Nazis came to power, a deadly combination of envy, competition, nationalism, and social upheaval fueled a surge of anti-Semitism, creating the preconditions for the deportations and murder to come. In the late nineteenth century, new opportunities for education and social advancement were opening up, and Jewish minorities took particular advantage of them, leading to widespread resentment. At the same time, newly created nation-states, especially in the east, were striving for ethnic homogeneity and national renewal, goals which they saw as inextricably linked. Drawing upon a wide range of previously unpublished sources, Aly traces the sequence of events that made persecution of Jews an increasingly acceptable European practice. Ultimately, the German architects of genocide found support for the Final Solution in nearly all the countries they occupied or were allied with. Without diminishing the guilt of German perpetrators, Aly documents the involvement of all of Europe in the destruction of the Jews, once again deepening our understanding of this most tormented history.
8vo, hardcover in dj. This book proposes that the idea of the Jews in European cultures has little to do with actual Jews, but rather is derived from the conception of Jews as Christianity's paradigmatic Other, eternally reenacting their morally ambiguous New Testament role as the Christ-bearing and -killing chosen people of God. Through new readings of canonical Russian literary texts by Gogol, Turgenev, Chekhov, Babel, and others, the author argues that these European writers?Christian, secular, and Jewish?based their representation of Jews on the Christian exegetical tradition of anti-Judaism. Indeed, Livak disputes the classification of some Jewish writers as belonging to "Jewish literature," arguing that such an approach obscures these writers' debt to European literary traditions and their ambivalence about their Jewishness. This work seeks to move the study of Russian literature, and Russian-Jewish literature in particular, down a new path. It will stir up controversy around Christian-Jewish cultural interaction; the representation of otherness in European arts and folklore; modern Jewish experience; and Russian literature and culture. About the Author: Leonid Livak is Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, where he teaches at the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures and in the Centre for Jewish Studies. He is the author of How It Was Done in Paris: Russian Émigré Literature and French Modernism (2003).
