  • - A Sufi Allegory in Prose & Poetry

    The Secret of Birds, Flowers, Nature, Animals & Insects A Sufi Allegory in Prose & Poetry by Azz-eddin al-Muqaddasi Translation & Introduction Paul Smith From the Introduction on the Life of the Author, form of the Qit'a and on Sufi Poetry: There is little to say about the author of these allegories as very little is known about him. His real name is unknown because Azz-eddin is a nickname and al-Muqaddasi means of Jerusalem, in that Azz-eddin was native of that town or territory, or sometime lived there. It is said that Azz-eddin was an Imam (religious leader) and he was erudite and eloquent in Arabic and he imitated the style of Ibn al-Giouzi (historian) and listened to him with much pleasure. It is said that he perished one day near the Kaaba, in the presence of a crowd of the great and learned and he fulfilled his obligation of pilgrimage perfectly and many took an exact copy of his speech, and his death was on Wednesday February the 12th, 1280, caused by a fall from a high place in Mecca. In addition to the allegories here published, Azz-eddin al-Mucaddasi is known for other highly respected works which are all mystical (Sufi) but have not come down to us. It is obvious he was influenced by 'The Conference of the Birds' (see appendix) by 'Attar who died about 60 years before he did. These short poems (qita's) translated in the correct form for the first time, coming after the speech in prose of the flower, bird, natural occurance, herb, animal or insect appear as a continuation or the essence of the prose. The judgment of the work of Azz-eddin has been mostly favorable; but if one leaves oneself to the Middle-Eastern taste, what seems to be defects will soon become real beauties and that what seems odd, are games of the mind. However, in judging this work according to Western taste, it can't be denied the allegories are easy, yet deep and elegant, with no lack of real Sufi knowledge and experience of the Path through various seekers: the expressions are poetic and pleasant. "It has been said, perhaps with truth, that there is no document of such age to touch this one for a combination of mystical insight and understanding of human psychology." K. Winstone-Hamilton. Large Format Paperback 7"x 10" Pages 250. Illustrated. COMMENTS ON PAUL SMITH'S TRANSLATION OF HAFIZ'S 'DIVAN'."It is not a joke... the English version of ALL the ghazals of Hafiz is a great feat and of paramount importance. " Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran."Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator of English to Persian and knower of Hafiz's Divan off by heart. Paul Smith (b.1945) is a poet, author and translator of many books of great Sufi poets of Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, and other languages... including Hafiz, Sadi, Nizami, Rumi, 'Attar, Sana'i, Jahan Khatun, Obeyd Zakani, Mu'in, Amir Khusrau, Nesimi, Kabir, Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Khayyam, Mansur Hallaj, Rudaki, Yunus Emre, Mahsati, and many others, as well as his own poetry, fiction, plays, biographies, children's books and a dozen screenplays. amazon.com/author/smithpa

  • - Wahrnehmungen eines deutschen Soldaten
    av Wolf Gregis
    181

    "Afghanistan surreal" bündelt und gestaltet die individuellen Wahrnehmungen eines deutschen Soldaten im Auslandseinsatz in Afghanistan zu einer formenreichen und episodenhaften Erzählung. Diese setzt sich schlaglichtartig mit den Erfahrungen des Menschen in Uniform und seiner Entwicklung im Einsatz auseinander. "Afghanistan surreal" leuchtet dabei den Rahmen des psychischen Spannungsfeldes aus, in dem sich ein deutscher Soldat am Hindukusch bewegt. Damit übersteigt es die Einzelerfahrung und lässt erahnen, zwischen welchen Polen sich deutsche Soldaten in bewaffneten Konflikten des 21. Jahrhunderts bewegen."Mit einer naiven Ernsthaftigkeit verarbeitete ich 2010 meine widersprüchlichen Wahrnehmungen als Soldat am Hindukusch. Bisweilen berauscht, ernüchtert, hoffnungsvoll und frustriert zeichne ich die Monate in der Fremde nach und bediene mich dazu dessen, was ich für surrealistische Techniken hielt. Ich glaubte, nur so der Widersprüchlichkeit im Auslandseinsatz habhaft zu werden. Das Pseudonym Friedrich Breton ist Ausdruck dessen. Die Stärke des Werks liegt nicht in der Stringenz einer Handlung oder in der Glätte der Worte, sondern der unmittelbaren Nähe zur Erfahrung. Seitdem sind die Dinge komplizierter geworden." (Wolf Gregis)

    Kristoff Boyadzhiev and his wife led a simple life, until he was suddenly diagnosed with end-stage terminal cancer and given two weeks to live. Struggling with the news and long-buried resentment against most of humanity, he runs afoul of a street thug with super powers and is killed--only to discover that he has a power of his own. Revived again and again by inadvertently taking the life and power of others around him when he dies, Kristoff is torn between the hope of dying a better man or using his new ability to disturb dark family secrets before the cancer kills him for the last time. His power, and the trail of bodies left behind by his descent, draws the attention of a Seattle police detective investigating strange happenings all over the city. A covert government agency also seeks to round up Kristoff and others like him, with the hope of either harnessing or curing their powers. Kristoff wants to be the hero he promised his wife at the end, but before that he needs to know the whole truth about his past, no matter the cost. With so many others in his way, that cost could be too high to die with any honor; and with two weeks left he has no time to choose.*2019 edition revised to match books 2 & 3*

    Teo (Barry) Vincent IV is a technical writer and composer from California. He is diversity embodied. Musically there is the wild, creative and adventurous side, as in his many compositions and improvisations / impromptus. He loves to rework songs in new ways and "break the rules" of music whenever possible. On the other hand, he was a top technical writer, quality control specialist stress-testing security in large accounting firms. You see this in music with an almost mechanical accuracy in rhythm. While Vincent was a technical trainer and writer in California's Silicon Valley, he also composed hundreds of his own songs, plus recorded and performed in diverse music groups including Salsa, High-Life, African, Funk, Jazz Fusion, Jazz, Blues, Soul, Calypso, Zouk, Soca & more. High-Tech-Accounting-Nerd by day & Wildly-Visionary-Music-Artist by night! Vincent's scores demonstrate his technical writing, great composition & arranging skills and love of the master composers' works. When possible he includes guitar chords and guitar fretboards to allow the option of collaboration with many types of accompanists. Soloists can also use the chords to aid their improvisations, and the chords give musicians of all levels better understanding of the compositions' structures and forms. All Vincent wishes is that more people can enjoy beautiful music with creative ways to interpret it & have fun with it! Some ways to enjoy Theme Player: Explore melodies that you know and love. Play just the 1st page of Clarinet Concerto. Play Ave Maria's melody and block chords from the guitar chords. In Ave Maria or Laudate Dominum, do the basic version then grab a part from the Trio Score version to embellish it! Explore around and find whatís fun! For the Trio Scores: The piano part is fully complete in Mozart's 21st Piano Concerto starting at bar 24, just start on page 3! Play the violin melody and piano right hand from Bolero together. When you have 2 pianos or keyboards 1 person can play the bass & violin and another the piano part.

    Religion. When you hear this word, what comes to mind? War, power, greed, brainwashing? Maybe other words which have their place in history: inquisition, witch-hunting, burning, torture? Or words we hear in our own history: jihad, extremist, suicide bomber?And there are other words spoken by dreamy-eyed gurus: peace, love, unity, consciousness, or words from those who consider themselves above religion: science, evidence, delusion, superstition, myths and fairytales. Religious history is full of such words and questions. Who were the Aryans? Why did they use hallucinogenic drugs to call on their gods?Who built the great ziggurats which stand on opposite sides of our world, in Iran and Central America?Did the ancients worship and serve giant beings which walked among them, demanding human sacrifice?Shamans, priests, prophets and magicians, servants of the gods, mediums of power, or frauds?Yahweh, Mithra, Horus and Agni, Lucifer, Allah and Ra, what do they have in common?Zoroaster, Buddha and Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Elena Blavatsky and L. Ron Hubbard, who were these people?Are all religions equally useful or useless? Do they all point to the same goal, share the same mysteries.Religion: History and Mystery explores the ancient and modern religions which have dominated the world for 6000 years. 22 religions, examined, exposed and deciphered.Is there one absolute truth, one infinite God?Religion: History and Mystery exposes the contradictions, uncovers the mysteries, and reveals the truth of who and what we are.

    Roman ambition created a lethal horror almost 2000 years ago. Since then it has been waiting - starving, hating and utterly insane... Julie Harrison is a smart, dedicated British university student. Together with her over-protective brother Michael and his jealous girlfriend, she joins a caving trip into Maar's Maw in the Pennines. However, adventure turns to terror when the team become trapped deep underground - in the lair of an ancient behemoth. Amid the chaos and panic, Julie finds the courage to lead the survivors. She knows they must work together, to try to evade the beast that now stalks them and to discover a way of escape. Their journey reveals evidence of ancient conflicts and slaughter, and clues to how their hunter was created. As days pass, they become exhausted, sick and hungry. They suffer the harrowing loss of friends to the monstrosity's ravenous attacks. Hope ebbs away... How far will friendship take the survivors? What extremes will their darker sides take them to?Can anyone escape this subterranean hell and the relentless wrath of the God Of War? Review by Sefina Hawke for Readers' Favorite: God Of War by Ian Thompson is a suspense filled novel that will appeal most to an audience made up of a mix of mature young adults and adults who enjoy the idea of being scared out of their minds. God Of War portrays a horror that started back during the Roman occupation when one Gaius Pertinax wanted to find something more, something really special for the gladiators. What he brought about was a horror that still exists in modern times and is found by a group of cavers who are hunted by it.God Of War will make even the bravest reader quake in their shoes; it is a book best read during the day as reading it at night is likely to give nightmares. God Of War is extremely well written with each scene described in fluent language that transitions beautifully from one scene to the next. Ian Thompson offers multiple perspectives from different time periods and characters to really allow the reader to understand the horror, the events, as well as the characters themselves. Each character was well written; my favorite part was the beginning of the book that focuses on John, Mary, and Melissa. I really felt for all of them and was sadden by the tragedy of their lives. I finished God Of War feeling shaken and a bit worried about nightmares, but that is the mark of a good horror novel. 4/5(Link to Review: readersfavorite.com/book-review/god-of-war) "Gory, scary and totally unpredictable story. Ian Thompson is definitely one to watch."5/5 Review on Amazon UK by a Kindle Customer From other 5-Star Reviews for Ian Thompson: "...extremely well written and very dark... Highly recommended.""I was completely sucked in and captivated from the first page""Wonderful characters and an even better story""I was impressed by the quality of the storytelling... an enthralling mix... a solid read""...a thriller... you can't stop reading""...characters were interesting and real... full of twists and turns""...an absolutely awesome, intense read."

    Reese Hudson meant to destroy mementos from her last failed relationship, not burn down an outhouse and incur the wrath of a sexy park ranger. When the judge rejects her offer to pay for the structure and sentences her to rebuild it-with the hot ranger supervising-she embraces the challenge to take control of her life. Park ranger Wade Baker wants nothing to do with the rich city girl, no matter how tempting he finds her lush curves. She's too much like his ex-fiancée, and if he's learned anything, it's that women like Reese don't fit into his world. And he sure as hell wants no part of her big city life. Reese may not know a hammer from a screwdriver, but she's working hard to prove she's not just some pampered princess to be toyed with. And damn it if Wade doesn't admire her tenacious spirit. If only they got along half as well outside the bedroom as they do in it, there might be a chance for them after all...
