Tales of the Neighborhood

Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520928946
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
In this lively and intellectually engaging book, Galit Hasan-Rokem shows that religion is shaped not only in the halls of theological disputation and institutions of divine study, but also in ordinary events of everyday life. Common aspects of human relations offer a major source for the symbols of religious texts and rituals of late antique Judaism as well as its partner in narrative dialogues, early Christianity, Hasan-Rokem argues. Focusing on the "neighborhood" of the Galilee that is the birthplace of many major religious and cultural developments, this book brings to life the riddles, parables, and folktales passed down in Rabbinic stories from the first half of the first millennium of the Common Era.

Love and Death in Kathmandu
Author: Amy Willesee
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466872322
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
On June 1, 2001, the heir to the Nepalese throne, Crown Prince Dipendra, donned military fatigues, armed himself with automatic weapons, walked in on a quiet family gathering, and, without a word, mowed his family down before turning a gun on himself. But Dipendra did not die immediately, and while lying in a coma was declared king. He was now a living god. Award-winning journalists Amy Willesee and Mark Whittaker set out to understand what could have led to such a devastating tragedy, one that fascinated and appalled the world. Exploring Kathmandu and other parts of the kingdom, they conducted exhaustive interviews with everyone from Maoist guerillas to members and friends of the royal family, gaining insight into the people involved in and the events behind the massacre. At the heart of the story is the love affair between Dipendra and the beautiful aristocrat Devyani Rana, whom he was forbidden to marry. Culminating their portrait of Nepal is a chilling reconstruction of the events of that fatal day. As conspiracy theories circulate and rebels threaten to topple the monarchy, the future of this small Himalayan kingdom promises to be as tumultuous as its past. Revealing a country where the twenty-first century mingles uneasily with the fourteenth, Love and Death in Kathmandu is both an enlightening portrait of a place that is a world apart and a riveting investigation of an incredible crime.

A vengeful man who turns to crime suddenly finds burglary a fascinating and easy way to make a living. After years of perfecting this art, he is able to slip in and out of towns, pinpoint the wealthiest people, rob them of their goods, sell them to unscrupulous merchants, and move to the next town without the slightest trace. Eventually, this master of his craft gets sloppy and is caught and sent to prison.

With this realization, he has come to grips with himself and has decided that if he can get just one more chance, he would make it right. Cornered and out of options, this man spends his last night frantically hoping for a fair chance to speak at his trial and tell the world about how he would make the very most of a second chance and that he would make good with all the people he has wronged. On the last day of his life, he eventually finds help when there is none, hope when it has run out, and salvation when he least expects it.
