Beschreibung

We are accustomed to describing our universe as composed of “things,” and the laws of the universe as tools that explain how these things affect each other. However, if things affect each other, they are in constant change. So, how can we call a “thing” a “thing”? Isn’t the naming of things just a decision we make in our minds to freeze time and intentionally ignore everything beyond our senses, thus also ignoring the true nature of reality? And what is an interaction if not the effect of one "thing" on another? But if there are no things—what is the nature of this interaction? 



This book proposes “Attention” as the cornerstone of the entire framework of reality. Unlike the term “focus,” the type of attention we're talking about here is not a voluntary or self-aware action and is not exclusive to conscious beings. It is an action of data processing—turning abstract data into concrete information, and it occurs even in the smallest particles, in the laws of the universe themselves, and as a result—in the entire universe.

    From the onset, the Nazi party were obsessed with the world of the occult. They scoured the globe in search of the weapons that would enable them to conquer the world and build their 1000 Year Reich. 
     
    From the Holy Grail to the lance that pierced the side of Christ... From Tibet to the Antarctic... no region or mythological device was ignored. 
     
    They turned the planet inside out looking for something ancient, something the Nazi elite called "the most powerful weapon"... a weapon that would instill such awe that it would cause the entire world to surrender overnight. 
     
    And then suddenly during the Second World War and perhaps even years before, the Nazi's achieved a massive leap in technology, so great that many have questioned where this Nazi science originated.

    Mazaltob - A Novel

    Raised in the Judería or Jewish quarter of Tetouan, Morocco, at the turn of the twentieth-century, sixteen-year-old Mazaltob finds herself betrothed to José, an uncouth man from her own community who has returned from Argentina to take a wife. Mazaltob, however, is in love with Jean, who is French, half-Jewish, and a free spirit. In this classic of North African Jewish fiction, Blanche Bendahan evokes the two compelling forces tearing Mazaltob apart in her body and soul: her loyalty to the Judería and her powerful desire to follow her own voice and find true love. Bendahan's nuanced and moving novel is a masterly exploration of the language, religion, and quotidian customs constraining North African Jewish women on the cusp of emancipation and decolonization. Yaëlle Azagury and Frances Malino provide the first English translation of this modern coming-of-age tale, awarded a prize by the Académie Française in 1930, and analyze the ways in which Mazaltob, with its disconcerting blend of ethnographic details and modernist experimentation, is the first of its genre—that of the feminist Sephardi novel. A historical introduction, a literary analysis, and annotations elucidate historical and cultural terms for listeners, supplementing the author's original notes.
