The Truth Is in the Words
The Truth Is in the Words/span/em holds within its pages two novellas, Noula's Prayer & The House That Called Me Home. The House that Called Me Home begins with a dream, a haunting dream that comes true in steps to reveal the power of prayer, the patience of love and the healing from life controlling shame. It's a story that touches your heart and maybe even your own story. It shows you that you're never too old to find out that you have been loved all along. That is what Celine finds out when her dreams come to an end in reality. Noula's Prayer takes you on a journey through many lives which all end up in the same church. When God asks Noula for one prayer and one prayer only, she searches her heart and examines her life, she then seeks guidance in God's Word. Noula finally prays her one prayer. Will God answer..?
Empires between Islam and Christianity, 1500-1800
A wide-ranging consideration of early modern Muslim and Christian empires, covering the Iberian, Ottoman, and Mughal worlds, including questions of political economy, images and representations, and historiography. Empires Between Islam and Christianity, 15001800 uses the innovative approach of connected histories to address a series of questions regarding the early modern world in the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic. The period between 1500 and 1800 was one of intense inter-imperial competition involving the Iberians, the Ottomans, the Mughals, the British, and other actors. Rather than understand these imperial entities separately, Sanjay Subrahmanyam reads their ar...
The Tale of Tea
The Tale of Tea is the saga of globalisation. Tea gave birth to paper money, the Opium Wars and Hong Kong, triggered the Anglo-Dutch wars and the American war of independence, shaped the economies and military history of Táng and Sòng China and moulded Chinese art and culture. Whilst black tea dominates the global market today, such tea is a recent invention. No tea plantations existed in the world’s largest black tea producing countries, India, Kenya and Sri Lanka, when the Dutch and the English went to war about tea in the 17th century. This book replaces popular myths about tea with recondite knowledge on the hidden origins and detailed history of today’s globalised beverage in its many modern guises.
Figures of Transcontinental Multilingualism
This volume investigates outstanding figures and configurations of literary and cultural multilingualism on a transcontinental and on a global scale. Its first focus is on the both subcontinental and transcontinental Indies, on the oxymoronic figure of East West India and on the stirring 'relations through words' in Luso-Afro-Indian, Anglo-Indian, and Indo-European areas. The second focus is on the cross-cultural configuration of East and West shaped by some striking Sino-European and Sino-American events in early modern and modern times. A third issue concerns the glocal and globoglot 'people of paper' in a contemporary Californian town, and, lastly, the all-embracing, all-devouring ouroboros and other multi-lingual ophidians. (Series: poethik polyglott, Vol. 4) [Subject: Linguistics, Multilingualism]

Per le strade della Vergine
«Gray diceva che chiunque poteva scrivere un buon libro, ed era semplicemente la storia della sua vita» recita la lettera di Stendhal in epigrafe a questo libro. "Per le strade della Vergine" è proprio questo: ‘semplicemente’ la storia della vita di Ceronetti fra il gennaio 1988 e il luglio 1996. Uno zibaldone, «per chi sa quali futuri lettori», che raccoglie viaggi, incontri, ossessioni, amori, lutti, sogni, letture, malattie, amicizie illustri, riflessioni liriche e scene di vita quotidiana, divagazioni oniriche e cronache minuziose. Un itinerario irresistibile, che restituisce il ritratto di uno dei protagonisti della cultura italiana nella sua irriducibile peculiarità.
