The Seventh Heaven
Author: Naguib Mahfouz
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307490769
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Egyptian Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz draws on his homeland’s rich engagement with the afterlife–and his own near-death experience at the hands of a would-be assassin–in these newly translated, brilliantly mysterious stories of the supernatural. Among those who haunt these tales are the ghosts of Akhenaten, Woodrow Wilson, and Gamal Abd al-Nasser, who endure a strange system of earthly probation in the hope of gaining entry to the fabled Seventh Heaven; a teenager drawn into the secret, enchanted life he finds within his neighborhood’s forbidden wood; an honest perfume seller accosted on a night out by angry skeletons; and Satan himself, who confesses that there is still, despite the flood of evil in our times, an honorable man in the land. As ingenious at capturing the surreal as he is at documenting the very real social landscape of modern Cairo, Mahfouz guides these restless spirits as they migrate from the shadowy realms of other worlds to the haunted precincts of our own.

Publisher: Hachette India
ISBN: 9350097729
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
German Hossain’s dreams never seem to leave him in peace. As India’s independence approaches, bringing with it a wrenching partition and the bloodbath of communal riots, German, a resident of Birbhum district in Bengal, sets out for Murshidabad in the hope of curing himself of his dream-sickness and, in his newfound sympathy of the Muslim League, to make his home in a place destined to become part of Pakistan. But when, after a three-day tug-of-war of sorts, the Radcliffe line recommendations deem that Murshidabad be returned to India, German decides to return to his place of birth, still plagued by his dreams and led by them, still in search of his destiny. This is the story of his journeys. Political, personal and surreal landscapes are intricately woven together in this exquisite novel about djinns and fairies, demonology and Sufism, the partition of a country and, above all, the dreams that make men who they are.

Eternity's Secret
Author: Carisia H. Switala, MTS
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1491754168
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
For centuries, the notion of everlasting life has been referred to as eternity. But is it really possible to live forever outside of ordinary time, and if so, how? In Eternity's Secret, Carisia Switala attempts to answer this question by examining the concept of eternity within a framework of relevant biblical passages and science. Switala, who holds a master's degree in Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School, decodes time to validate that eternity is a real dimension of endless life that also allows for the likelihood of seeing the future, time travel, and immortality. Through her interpretations of relevant biblical passages and exploration of scientific theories and principles, Switala carefully examines how the Bible relates to philosophical and logical ideas and looks beyond the human inventions of calendars and clocks to comprehend time as eternal. Eternity's Secret shares a comprehensive examination of time viewed from a scientific and biblical framework intended to inspire others to search deep within for insight and knowledge about eternal life.
