Book Description
This publication uncovers two previously dismissed pre-modern adaptations of the Middle High German Wigalois (1215) by exploring their different approaches to female agency in comparison with the original Wigalois, the Yiddish Viduvilt (14th ct.) and the German Wigoleis (15th ct.). Traditionally, scholarship often concentrated on the Yiddish text presenting female figures as behaving in a "Jewish manner" or embodying famous Jewish mythical figures such as Lilith (see Achim Jaeger / Robert G. Warnock). Rather than trying to argue for or against a figure’s "Jewishness," I evaluate these interpretations from the perspective of Arthurian Literature by showing that the construction of female agency is at the center of all three adaptations of this important chapter of German-Jewish literature and culture.

Positive Chain Reaction
Author: Marian Muller
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1514447223
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
Positive Chain Reaction is a narrative on chapters and characters from the living Bible. It tries to bring, above as the name of the book implies, a positive chain reaction in our society, because it deals with difficulties and emotions that go with any reaction experienced universally. It goes without saying that those in the biblical past had similar situations and adversities that we are experiencing today. Through Positive Chain Reaction, I tried to teach and convey lessons in life by identification with the characters and bring across possible solutions on how to deal with difficulties and at the same time overcome it. It gives way to very easy reading, and those who find it difficult to read the Bible will find it as an introduction. Hopefully the readers will be stimulated and will begin to search for more, leading them to read the Bible.

A Dress in a Window
Author: Marie Astor
Publisher: Novel Holdings, LLC
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
A Dress in a Window is a collection of short stories about love, coincidences, and fate. What the readers are saying: What an enjoyable short story collection! Marie Astor has a real gift for storytelling. This collection has romance, everyday life vignettes and even a sprinkle of magic. An entertaining, fun read. While the subject of the stories varies from romance to everyday life to a bit of satire, I liked the fact that all stories share a hopeful ending, which is something that I found to be uplifting and enjoyable. A wonderful collection of short stories with real characters and substance. I just finished Lucky Charm, a contemporary romance by this author, and thought I'd give her short story collection a try. I loved the characters and the richly plotted stories. I absolutely loved this short story collection: my favorites are A Dress in a Window and A Chance Encounter. If you enjoy love stories, take a chance on A Chance Encounter and Other Stories! This is my second book by Marie Astor. I also read LUCKY CHARM and loved it as well.
