A Clergyman's Daughter
Delve into the intricate life of a woman caught between duty and desire in George Orwell’s poignant novel, "A Clergyman's Daughter." This powerful story explores themes of societal expectations, personal freedom, and the struggle for self-identity. As the daughter of a clergyman, Dorothy Hare embodies the conflicts faced by women of her time. What happens when her pious upbringing clashes with her longing for a life beyond the confines of her father's expectations? Orwell’s exploration of Dorothy's character takes readers through her disillusionment and quest for meaning in a world that often seems indifferent to her plight. Her journey is both heartbreaking and illuminating, revealing t...
Song Translation: Lyrics in Contexts
Song Translation: Lyrics in Contexts grew out of a project dedicated to the translation of song lyrics. The book aligns itself with the tradition of descriptive translation studies. Its authors, scholars from Finland, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Norway and Sweden, all deal with the translation of song lyrics in a great variety of different contexts, including music and performance settings, (inter)cultural perspectives, and historical backgrounds. On the one hand, the analyses demonstrate the breadth and diversity of the concept of translation itself, on the other they show how different contexts set up conditions that shape translational practices and products in different ways. The book is intended for translation studies scholars as well as for musicologists, students of language and/or music and practicing translators; in short, anybody interested in this creative and fascinating field of translational practice.

Like Eating a Stone
During four years of the war in Bosnia, over 100,000 people lost their lives. But it was months, even years, before the process of identification, burial and mourning could begin. This text travels through the ravaged post-war landscape in the company of a few of those who survived, as they visit the scenes of their loss.
Your People Shall Be My People
"Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God" (Ruth 1:16). Like Ruth in the Old Testament, every Gentile believer has come out of the land of famine and into the spiritual realm of abundance in the name of Jesus. But unlike Ruth, we have turned our backs on the Jewish people, the relatives of the Messiah. We need to confess personally and corporately on behalf of the Church for centuries of persecution of the Jewish people, looking in these days for every opportunity to bless and not curse them. Once again, Israel and her people are center stage at a crucial moment in world history, and this book shows why the Church must effect reconciliation and why our prayers are vital in this hour. If we will make the same covenent pledge to Israel that Ruth made to Naomi, the Church will never be the same!
Mulheres de Ditadores
Chamavam-se Inessa, Clara, Nadia, Magda, Felismina, Jiang Qing, Elena, Catherine... E eles Lenine, Mussolini, Estaline, Hitler, Salazar, Mao, Ceausescu, Bokassa. Prostitutas ou mulheres da alta burguesia intelectual, paixões fugazes ou amores intensos, eles maltratavam ou adoravam-nas, mas, sistematicamente, voltavam para os seus braços. Esposas, companheiras, musas, admiradoras, todas têm em comum o facto de terem sido vencedoras, enganadas e sacrificadas. Aos seus homens cruéis, violentos, tiranos e infiéis, faziam crer que eram belos, charmosos e todo-poderosos. Sendo a virilidade um dos alicerces do poder absoluto, os ditadores sentiam a necessidade de juntar figuras femininas ao imaginário de poder e domínio que criaram. E assim controlando-os na sombra, por vezes, até à morte, como se vivessem sob a égide de um Pigmaleão. Diane Ducret relata em detalhe os momentos, as estratégias de sedução, os casos amorosos, as intervenções políticas e os destinos diversos, ocasionalmente trágicos, das mulheres que cruzaram o caminho ou passaram pelo leito dos ditadores.
The Internet of Us: Knowing More and Understanding Less in the Age of Big Data
"An intelligent book that struggles honestly with important questions: Is the net turning us into passive knowers? Is it degrading our ability to reason? What can we do about this?" —David Weinberger, Los Angeles Review of Books We used to say "seeing is believing"; now, googling is believing. With 24/7 access to nearly all of the world’s information at our fingertips, we no longer trek to the library or the encyclopedia shelf in search of answers. We just open our browsers, type in a few keywords and wait for the information to come to us. Now firmly established as a pioneering work of modern philosophy, The Internet of Us has helped revolutionize our understanding of what it means to b...
