Author: Tayala Léha
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3750499586
Category : Social Science

Pages : 41
Book Description
Tayala Léha is a medium, healer and author living in Germany. In 2016, she wrote in her poem "Announcement from the upper world": "In 2021, there will be a war in Germany. Warn everybody you know!". Unsettled by the message, she tells friends about it, but pushes this unbelievable-sounding information aside at first. In the spring of 2020, she was "guided" to the predictions of Alois Irlmaier, a Bavarian clairvoyant who was completely unknown to her at the time. He lived during the second world war and even proved his gifts before court! Irlmaier vigorously warned of a third world war for over 10 years until his death in 1959. He claims this will mainly affect Europe but will also have an impact on Alaska, Canada an the USA. Tayala Léha fears: "the information threads" from her own visions and from which Irlmaiers lead... In this booklet, Léha gives compact, useful information about Alois Irlmaier`s prophecies, her own inspiration and practical tips on how you can take preventive measures...

The Naked Woman
Author: Armonía Somers
Publisher: Feminist Press at CUNY
ISBN: 193693244X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
A woman’s feminist awakening drives a hypocritical village to madness in rural Uruguay in this "wild, brutal paean to freedom" (NPR.org). Shortlisted for the National Translation Award "Somers' feminism is profound, and complicated." —NPR.org “A surreal, nightmarish book about women’s struggle for autonomy—and how that struggle is (always, inevitably) met with violence.” —Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties When The Naked Woman was originally published in 1950, critics doubted a woman writer could be responsible for its shocking erotic content. In this searing critique of Enlightenment values, fantastic themes are juxtaposed with brutal depictions of misogyny and violence, and frantically build to a fiery conclusion. Finally available to an English-speaking audience, Armonía Somers will resonate with readers of Clarice Lispector, Djuna Barnes, and Leonora Carrington.

Popular Fiction, Translation and the Nahda in Egypt
Author: Samah Selim
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 303020362X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
This book is a critical study of the translation and adaptation of popular fiction into Arabic at the turn of the twentieth century. It examines the ways in which the Egyptian nahda discourse with its emphasis on identity, authenticity and renaissance suppressed various forms of cultural and literary creation emerging from the encounter with European genres as well as indigenous popular literary forms and languages. The book explores the multiple and fluid translation practices of this period as a form of ‘unauthorized’ translation that was not invested in upholding nationalist binaries of originality and imitation. Instead, translators experimented with radical and complex forms of adaptation that turned these binaries upside down. Through a series of close readings of novels published in the periodical The People’s Entertainments, the book explores the nineteenth century literary, intellectual, juridical and economic histories that are constituted through translation, and outlines a comparative method of reading that pays particular attention to the circulation of genre across national borders.

Laugh like an Egyptian
Author: Cristina Dozio
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 311072541X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
Egyptians are known among the Arabs as awlād al-nukta, Sons of the Jokes, for their ability to laugh in face of adversity. This creative weapon has been directed against socio-political targets both in times of oppression and popular upheaval, such as the 2011 Tahrir Revolution. This book looks at the literary expression of Egyptian humour in the novels of Muḥammad Mustajāb, Khayrī Shalabī, and Ḥamdī Abū Julayyil, three writers who revive the comic tradition to innovate the language of contemporary fiction. Their modern tricksters, wise fools, and antiheroes play with the stereotypical traits attached to the ordinary Egyptians, while laughing at the universal contradictions of life. This ability to combine local and global culture, literary traditions and popular references, makes them a stimulating read in an intercultural perspective. Combining humour studies and literary criticism, this book examines language play and narrative creativity to understand which strategies craft Egyptian literary humour. In doing so, it sheds light on the contribution of humour to literary innovations of Egyptian fiction since the late Seventies, while adding new writers to those who are considered the masters of humour in the Arab novel.
