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.

The Neighborhood
Author: Mario Vargas Llosa
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 0374716137
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
A tabloid sex scandal leads to murder in the Nobel laureate’s politically charged thriller set among the wealthy elite of 1990s Peru. Through the 1990s, Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori oversaw a deeply corrupt society. Those among the elite enjoyed privilege beyond imagining. But two couples from Lima’s upper class are about to become embroiled in a disturbing vortex of erotic adventures and politically driven blackmail. Enrique, a high-profile businessman, receives a visit from notorious tabloid editor Rolando Garro, who attempts to blackmail him with graphic pictures from an old business trip. When Enrique refuses to pay, the images are on the front page. Meanwhile, Enrique’s wife is in the midst of a passionate affair with the wife of Enrique’s lawyer and best friend. When Garro shows up murdered, the two couples must navigate the unspoken laws and customs of Peru’s criminal underworld, while the magazine staff embarks on its greatest exposé yet. A twisting, unpredictable tale, The Neighborhood is at once a scathing indictment of Fujimori’s regime and a crime thriller that evokes the vulgarity of freedom in a corrupt system.
