  The first in-depth look at how postwar thinkers in Egypt mapped the intersections between Islamic discourses and psychoanalytic thoughtIn 1945, psychologist Yusuf Murad introduced an Arabic term borrowed from the medieval Sufi philosopher and mystic Ibn ‘Arabi—al-la-shu‘ur—as a translation for Sigmund Freud’s concept of the unconscious. By the late 1950s, Freud’s Interpretation of Dreams had been translated into Arabic for an eager Egyptian public. In The Arabic Freud, Omnia El Shakry challenges the notion of a strict divide between psychoanalysis and Islam by tracing how postwar thinkers in Egypt blended psychoanalytic theories with concepts from classical Islamic thought in a creative encounter of ethical engagement.Drawing on scholarly writings as well as popular literature on self-healing, El Shakry provides the first in-depth examination of psychoanalysis in Egypt and reveals how a new science of psychology—or “science of the soul,” as it came to be called—was inextricably linked to Islam and mysticism. She explores how Freudian ideas of the unconscious were crucial to the formation of modern discourses of subjectivity in areas as diverse as psychology, Islamic philosophy, and the law. Founding figures of Egyptian psychoanalysis, she shows, debated the temporality of the psyche, mystical states, the sexual drive, and the Oedipus complex, while offering startling insights into the nature of psychic life, ethics, and eros.This provocative and insightful book invites us to rethink the relationship between psychoanalysis and religion in the modern era. Mapping the points of intersection between Islamic discourses and psychoanalytic thought, it illustrates how the Arabic Freud, like psychoanalysis itself, was elaborated across the space of human difference.

  Inquisition - The Infamous...

  Perhaps you have heard of the horrible stories of the Spanish, Portuguese, or French inquisition, the Catholic body of persecutors who would arrest the supposed “heathens” and accuse them of witchcraft, heresies, blasphemy, adultery, and a whole list of other sins or crimes. Torture, interrogations, executions, burnings, and other inhumane methods were used to then force, coerce, or kill the victims of this Catholic organization within the church at the time. 
  We are talking mostly about medieval times, when the power of the Catholic church extended throughout Europe. The Inquisition, typically called the "Holy Inquisition" in middle ages clerical terms, was a series of organizations within the Catholic Church whose objective was to fight heresy. Research studies of the archives have exposed that the large bulk of sentences were penances, but that cases of repeat unrepentant apostates were given nonreligious courts, where they were normally executed or sentenced to life. The Inquisition was established in 12th-century France to fight spiritual variance (such as apostasy or heresy), particularly amongst the Cathars and Waldensians. The Middle ages Inquisition describes the inquisitorial courts that existed from this time till the mid-15th century. 
  Discover the pain, the frustration, the hypocrisy, and the drama behind the inquisition. Learn more about their motives, their methods, their superiors, and their murdering.

  For readers who enjoy a dark mysterious plot with their sexy books, this m/m (and m/m/m) series is just as sinister as it is kinky and was inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe tale, “The Fall of the House of Usher.” 
  A gay otter boy (meaning: a young fit man who does not shave his body hair) named Alexander, is an out-of-work huslter in his small town by the ocean. In a sudden change of luck he finds himself drawn to a strange mansion and inside, a mysterious millionaire pulls him into a world of sinister extravagance and sexual discipline. With a background as a sex worker, Alexander is no stranger to trading his furry body for money, but he was never expecting to develop deep feelings for his new eccentric keeper. 
  With an introduction to the BDSM lifestyle, the mostly submissive Alexander learns a great deal about himself and his master through whipping, CBT, endurance, and being collared to an older man. Unsure if he is a toy, pet, or partner to the Daddy of the manor he used to think was abandoned, Alexander navigates the secrets of the interior with another otter boy from his past. Things get complicated further when emotions for the other hustler in the strict hierarchy come to the surface and he breaks one of the many rules within the house. 
  Including paranormal elements and unexpected magic, this queer erotic romance series begins in the fall season at the House of Otter then twists and turns through the seasons. Expect: jockstraps and hairy men, Daddy and Boy dynamics, bondage, sadomachochism, harnesses, dominance, fetish gear, nipple play, mystical prophecies, destiny, and whispered words with the power to open the door to forbidden fantasies. In the end, Alexander must decide how much of his body and sexual freedom he is willing to surrender in exchange for a life of opulent luxury. 
  It’s Edgar Allan Poe but with a queer, kinky, and paranormal twist!

  Beginning with Woodrow Wilson and U.S. entry into World War I and closing with the Great Depression, The Perils of Prosperity traces the transformation of America from an agrarian, moralistic, isolationist nation into a liberal, industrialized power involved in foreign affairs in spite of itself.
   
  William E. Leuchtenburg’s lively yet balanced account of this hotly debated era in American history has been a standard text for many years. This substantial revision gives greater weight to the roles of women and minorities in the great changes of the era and adds new insights into literature, the arts, and technology in daily life. He has also updated the lists of important dates and resources for further reading.
   
  “This book gives us a rare opportunity to enjoy the matured interpretation of an American Historian who has returned to the story and seen how recent decades have added meaning and vividness to this epoch of our history.”—Daniel J. Boorstin, from the Preface
