The History of a Lie: "The Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion"

Herman Bernstein

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "The History of a Lie: 'The Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion,'" Herman Bernstein meticulously dissects one of the most pernicious texts of the 20th century, revealing its fabrication and the consequences of its spread. Bernstein's writing is analytical and precise, employing rigorous research to contextualize the text within the socio-political climate of early 20th-century Europe, where anti-Semitic sentiments were proliferating. Through a blend of historical narrative and critical commentary, he exposes the mechanisms of deceit behind the Protocols, demonstrating not only its origins as a literary forgery but also its role in fueling dangerous ideologies that resonate to this day. Herman Bernstein, a Jewish-American journalist and activist, was deeply impacted by the rising tide of anti-Semitic rhetoric and violence during his lifetime, drawing on his experiences to confront the societal forces that perpetuated such myths. His background in journalism equipped him with the skills to unravel convoluted narratives, while his personal connection to the subject matter fueled his passion for accurate representation and truth in facing falsehoods, particularly those aimed at marginalized communities. This book is essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the historical roots of modern anti-Semitism. Bernstein's work serves not only as a historical document but as a clarion call for vigilance against disinformation, making it a valuable addition to discussions on hate speech, propaganda, and social responsibility.

Modesty - The Humble Approach -...

Esther Jameson

Modesty is often misunderstood in today's world, where self-expression and visibility are highly valued. It is not about suppression or hiding oneself but rather a way of living that reflects humility, self-respect, and grace. True modesty is not limited to clothing choices but extends to attitudes, behaviors, and the way individuals present themselves to the world. It is about carrying oneself with dignity and avoiding excess, whether in appearance, speech, or lifestyle.
Historically, modesty has been deeply rooted in various cultures and traditions, often shaped by religious and philosophical beliefs. Many ancient societies regarded it as a virtue, associating it with wisdom, purity, and moral integrity. From Eastern philosophies emphasizing balance and restraint to Western traditions valuing humility and grace, modesty has been a guiding principle across civilizations. Though its expression has evolved over time, its essence remains unchanged—a conscious effort to practice simplicity and mindfulness in one's actions.
In modern society, modesty can be challenging to uphold, as social norms constantly shift and external influences promote self-promotion and material success. The pressure to stand out and gain validation can lead individuals to adopt behaviors that prioritize recognition over authenticity. However, true confidence does not stem from external validation but from an inner sense of self-worth. A modest person does not seek attention or approval but remains secure in their values and choices. This quiet strength allows for deeper connections with others and a greater focus on personal growth rather than superficial appearances.

Physiologus - A Medieval Book of...

Michael J. Curley

One of the most popular and widely read books of the Middle Ages, Physiologus contains allegories of beasts, stones, and trees both real and imaginary, infused by their anonymous author with the spirit of Christian moral and mystical teaching.  Accompanied by an introduction that explains the origins, history, and literary value of this curious text, this volume also reproduces twenty woodcuts from the 1587 version. Originally composed in the fourth century in Greek, and translated into dozens of versions through the centuries, Physiologus will delight readers with its ancient tales of ant-lions, centaurs, and hedgehogs—and their allegorical significance. “An elegant little book . . . still diverting to look at today. . . . The woodcuts reproduced from the 1587 Rome edition are alone worth the price of the book.”—Raymond A. Sokolov, New York Times Book Review

Awakening Osiris - The Spiritual...

Normandi Ellis

A beautiful and engaging rendering of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. 
 
 
  
The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities that have little relevance to our contemporary situations. This new version, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate—they remind us that the natural world, and the substance of our lives, is fashioned from the stuff of the gods. Devoted like an Egyptian scribe to the principle of "effective utterance," Normandi Ellis has produced a prose translation that reads like pure, diaphanous verse.
