Beschreibung

The 'Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa Translated into English Prose' stands as a monumental endeavor to render the complexity of one of India's greatest epics into accessible English. This prose translation seeks to illuminate the intricate narratives surrounding the Kurukshetra War, philosophical discourse, and the ethical dilemmas faced by its characters. Emphasizing clarity and fluidity, the translation maintains a reverence for the original Sanskrit text's literary nuances while inviting readers to engage with the epic's vast tapestry of ideas, from duty (dharma) to devotion (bhakti). The translator navigates the text with scholarly precision, ensuring that both the plot's richness and its spiritual layers are preserved, making this edition an invaluable resource for understanding the cultural and philosophical depth of the Mahabharata. While the author of this translation remains anonymous, it is essential to recognize the intellectual rigor and cultural heritage that likely inform this work. Rooted in the Indian tradition, the translator is possibly influenced by their own understanding of the text's historical significance and its role in shaping moral and cultural discourses. The choice to translate such a revered work may stem from a desire to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western literary traditions, making the epic accessible to a global audience. This translation of the Mahabharata is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers alike, as it not only presents a pivotal work of world literature but also offers a profound exploration of humanity's shared experiences and moral quandaries. By engaging with this text, readers will gain insights into the values that have persisted across millennia, ensuring that the wisdom of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa continues to resonate in contemporary discourse.

    In the past few years, the evolving global landscape has drawn increasing attention to the positioning of African countries on major international issues. Much emphasis has been placed on African voting and diplomatic stances in international fora, political rhetoric and protests, all seemingly pointing to a shift towards a more critical approach vis à vis traditional Western partners. At the same time, non-alignment, a notion that for some retained a merely historical value, has gained new impetus as a principle guiding a number of countries of the Global South, suggesting a break in the relationship with old and new partners. This report investigates the nature and reasons of the growing anti-Western sentiment in sub Saharan Africa, combining an analysis of the current international context with a look at the long term. Is the gap between Africa and the West really expanding? What are the reasons and the possible consequences? What can be done to turn criticism into a more profound, mutual understanding?

    Freddie Scappaticci was born in 1946 and raised in a deeply nationalist area of Belfast. When the Troubles broke out in 1969, he joined the Provisional IRA, where he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming commander of Belfast in 1984. 
     
    From the outside, Scappaticci appeared to be a dedicated volunteer, but inwardly, he had become disenchanted with the IRA and, in 1977, he started working for British intelligence. At the same time, he took up a leading role in a newly formed IRA Internal Security Unit (ISU), aka ‘The Nutting Squad’. He personally executed two suspected informers and condemned at least thirty-seven more to death. 
     
    Was he the serial killer that history portrays him? Undoubtedly. But it’s not that simple, because every time he passed the death penalty on an informer, he told his British intelligence handlers about the intended execution, giving them the opportunity to prevent the killing. 
     
    Did the tasking and co-ordinating group, the primary British intelligence organisation in Northern Ireland during the troubles, aid and abet the IRA in the mass-murder of British citizens? That is the question Richard O’Rawe poses in Stakeknife’s Dirty War. But O’Rawe goes further: he lays out a very compelling case that points to the TCGs running the IRA’s war from the mid-1980s to the 1994 ceasefire. Such was the British intelliegence penetration of the IRA, that Freddie Scappaticci, aka ‘Stakeknife’, was in control of all IRA operations in the Belfast Brigade area. This book will shock readers, and cause them to reevaluate everything they formerly held to be true about Stakeknife’s dirty war in Ireland.
