Buried - Life, Death And Revolution In Egypt

de Peter Hessler

14,56€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 ''Tenacious, revelatory, and humane.'' - Paul Theroux''The Buried is the kind of book that you don''t want to end and won''t forget. With the eye of a great storyteller Peter Hessler weaves together history, reporting, memoir, and above all the lives of ordinary people in a beautiful and haunting portrait of Egypt and its Revolution.'' - Ben RhodesWinner of the The Peter Mackenzie Smith Book Prize 2021In 2011, while revolution swept across Egypt, Peter Hessler was reporting on the everyday lives and ancient secrets of a country in turmoil. The result is this unforgettable work of literary and documentary brilliance. In The Buried, Hessler traces the human stories alongside the broader sweep of historic events: Tahrir Square, the massacres and the coup form the background, but so too do ancient cults, buried cities in the desert and dead pharaohs with huge ambitions. Most important are the people forging their lives in this world. We follow rubbish collector Sayyid; Arabic teacher Rifaat; and Manu, a translator. There are also the Chinese immigrants who have built a lingerie empire, politicians and ingenious archaeologists. Together, they raise the question: is revolution just repetition, or can things ever really change?

From Wilderness To Paradise: A Sixth-Century Mosaic Pavement At Qasr El-Lebia In Cyrenaica, Libya

de Jane Chick

~~3,96€~~ 3,56€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 From Wilderness to Paradise presents an in-depth study of the large mosaic pavement in the East Church at Qasr el-Lebia in Cyrenaica, Libya. The pavement, which survives almost in its entirety, consists of fifty panels, each containing a different image. Despite being described as ‘the finest and most interesting set of Christian mosaics yet found in Libya’ (Illustrated London News, December 1957), subsequent studies have generally dismissed the pavement as a random selection of images with no symbolic meaning and no overarching scheme. This book argues that the remarkably rich and complex mosaic should be understood as a coherent whole. A discussion about reading imagery in Late Antiquity precedes a meticulous iconographical study. Within the pavement’s overall coherence, the grid layout allows the panels to be read in different directions, rather like a crossword puzzle, their meaning shifting with each change of focus. Particular attention is paid to small groups of images related either by subject matter or location, and the discussion shows how the placement of certain panels impacts the surrounding imagery, giving meaning over and above the significance of individual motifs. The iconographical study concludes by considering the mosaic from the viewpoint of those moving across the pavement and the phenomenological responses this interaction may have elicited. It suggests that as the images passed fleetingly underfoot, a journey unfurled and one was led from a chaotic oceanic wilderness in the east, to a more orderly paradisiacal world further west.

Trinity And Inculturation - The Humanity Of God And The Future Of African Theology

de Bede Uche Ukwuije

~~68,89€~~ 62,00€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Trinity and Inculturation offers a renewed examination of the naming of God in the context of contemporary fundamental theology and African inculturation theology.In the past decades, missionary discourse has developed an intentional theological awareness of the intricacies of African traditional religions. Its aim of counteracting the prevalent devaluation of African culture throughout history, however, has come at the expense of foundational components of Trinitarian theology. Trinity and Inculturation seeks to reconcile the disjunction between theology and Christology present in African inculturation theology by re-centering the conversation on the Trinitarian nature of the Christian God revealed through Jesus Christ and the activities of the Holy Spirit.Father Bede Uche Ukwuije uses the work of German theologian Eberhard Jungel, and more specifically his idea of the humanity of God, to overcome the dependence of African theology on Western theism. Through this dialogue, Ukwuije crafts a thorough, Trinitarian argument that calls for a reconsideration of fundamental Christian apologetics and the renewal of Christian mission and interreligious dialogue.

War On Congo Diamonds

de Ct Mandawa

7,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a country rich in natural resources, has been plagued by conflict for decades. Its vast landscapes and abundant mineral wealth, including diamonds, have drawn both local and international actors into a long-standing struggle for power. The fall of Mobutu Sese Seko in the late 1990s created a power vacuum, leading to the rise of Laurent Kabila and the Second Congo War. Neighboring nations such as Rwanda and Uganda, seeking to control valuable resources, played a crucial role in exacerbating the conflict. At the heart of this turmoil lies the diamond industry, which has been a central force in fueling the war.Diamonds, often referred to as "conflict diamonds," became a resource of war, enriching militias, rebel groups, and foreign powers. These gems, mined under brutal conditions, funded various factions, prolonging the violence. The economic significance of diamonds to the Congolese conflict cannot be overstated, as they became a primary driver of the war's persistence.Understanding the diamond trade is vital, as it highlights the link between conflict and precious resources. The world must demand ethical sourcing and greater transparency to prevent the exploitation of these valuable commodities, ensuring that diamonds no longer fuel violence and human suffering.
