Библия - самая популярная книга в мире. За ней числятся свыше двух тысяч переводов на разные языки, и только за последние двести лет были проданы свыше шести миллиардов копий. В своём знаковом историческом труде Карен Армстронг прослеживает процесс возникновения Библии, предлагая нашему вниманию хронику противоречивого текста, создание которого растянулось на сотни лет и потребовало участия множества людей. Анализ автора начинается с одной из самых ранних книг Танаха, в которой Бога называют и Яхве, и Элохимом. Затем Карен Армстронг обращается к последовавшей истории как Танаха, так и Нового Завета, объясняя, какие факторы предопределили характер этих священных текстов. Мидраш и зарождение учения Христа, влияние посланий апостола Павла на Реформацию и методы, с помощью которых американские фундаменталисты манипулируют Писанием подробнее

Canongate The Complete Brigadier Gerard Stories Дойл Артур Конан

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Brigadier Gerard stories surely constitute the finest series of historical short stories in literature, mingling the comedy and the tragedy, the pathos and the irony, or, in Napoleon’s phrase, the sublime and the ridiculous. It is Napoleon and his Europe, his dedicated followers and the awakened nationalisms of the peoples they enraged, possessing our minds in savage realism and enrapturing romance. And in Brigadier Etienne Gerard, Arthur Conan Doyle created a hero worthy to take his place in the great line stretching from Homer’s Odysseus to George MacDonald Fraser’s Flashman, nearest of all perhaps to Stevenson’s Allan Breck and Wodehouse’s Bertie Wooster
