Beethoven's Mask
In his extraordinary memoir, Beethovens Mask, George Jonas describes life as an Italian opera: an absurd story set to irresistible music. Spanning the period between 1935 and 2001from just before the outbreak of the Second World War to 9/11the narrative takes the form of a journey log, zeroing in on key episodes in Jonass own life and in the lives of others: famous, infamous, and anonymous men and women that he encountered in Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Beethovens Mask is an extraordinary, riveting read that will engage any reader interested in the twentieth century, its foibles, evils, comic and comedic aspects, and the self-destructive urge of humanity that drove Europe and, ultimately, the rest of world into the most horrendous bloodshed of the Second World War.Powerful storytelling and sharp observation, leavened with marvelous wit and style, combine to deliver one of the most vivid memoirs ever written.
Reflections on Islam
The 9/11 attacks shattered modern illusions about Islam as a wholly peaceful faith. They raised the possibility that this seemingly new struggle between East and West-between secular democracy and Islamist theocracy-is just the latest variant of a much older contest between Islam and the non-Islamic world that has been now simmering, now flaring up, for the last 1,400 years. If we have failed to see the skirmishes along Islam's perimeters-in Kashmir and Kosovo, in India and Pakistan, in Chechnya and Xinjiang-it is simply because we have refused to look. In Reflections on Islam, award-winning author and columnist George Jonas explores a range of issues that have come to occupy our daily atten...
