Sinopsis

In "The Legend of Sir Lancelot du Lac," Jessie L. Weston intricately weaves together the rich tapestry of Arthurian legend with a distinct focus on one of its most enigmatic and celebrated figures, Lancelot. The narrative unfolds in a style that blends lyrical prose with vivid imagery, embodying both the chivalric ethos and the deep emotional currents of love and betrayal that characterize the medieval romance genre. Weston employs a meticulous approach to the source material, drawing from both French romances and English retellings, and situates Lancelot's story within the broader context of Arthurian mythos, highlighting themes of honor, loyalty, and tragic fate. Jessie L. Weston, a prominent scholar of folklore and mythology, was heavily influenced by her academic pursuits and her fascination with medieval literature. Her extensive research into the Arthurian cycle, bolstered by her deep understanding of mythological structures, provided her with unique insights into Lancelot's character, elucidating the tensions inherent in his relationships with figures like Guinevere and King Arthur. Weston's scholarly background and passion for the subject matter made her the ideal architect of this homage to Lancelot's turbulent legacy. This captivating exploration is highly recommended for anyone drawn to the complexities of love, chivalry, and moral ambiguity in medieval narratives. Weston's profound analysis and lyrical storytelling invite readers to delve into the depths of Lancelot's character and experience the poignancy of his journey, making this book a valuable addition to both literary and historical studies.

    Resisters - How Ordinary Jews...

    Wolf Gruner

    Drawing on twelve years of research in dozens of archives in Austria, Germany, Israel, and the United States, this book tells the story of five Jewish people—a merchant, a homemaker, a real estate broker, and two teenagers—who bravely resisted persecution and defended themselves in Nazi Germany. These stories have not been told until now, and each case is one of many, as Gruner shows by resurfacing similar accounts of Jewish refusal to accept persecution and violence in Germany and Austria between 1933 and 1943, upending the notion of passive Jews, and expanding the concept of resistance. 
     
     
      
    Each individual described here represents a category of resistance: written opposition, oral protest, contesting Nazi propaganda, defiance of anti-Jewish laws and measures, and self-defense against physical attacks. Many of these courageous acts resulted in the resisters being prosecuted and put on trial, and often receiving harsh punishments, while some led to acquittal by courts and others to changes in Nazi policies. Taken together, these accounts reframe our understanding of German Jewish attitudes during the Holocaust, while also providing an astonishing examination of the complex Nazi reactions to the many individual acts of Jewish resistance.

    * "Whoever works for God, his work will be done by itself." 
    * "Keep God in your heart like you keep money in the bank." 
     
    Neem Karoli Baba known to his followers as Maharaj-ji - was a great Hindu guru, mystic, and devotee of Lord Hanuman. He is very well known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of prominent Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 70s, including spiritual teachers Ram Dass, Bhagavan Das, and musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. His ashrams are in India, and in Taos, New Mexico. Maharaji was a lifelong adept of bhakti-yoga and encouraged service to others (seva) as the highest form of unconditional devotion to God. 
     
    There can be no biography of him. Facts are few, stories many. He seems to have been known by different names in many parts of India, appearing and disappearing through the years. His non-Indian devotees of recent years knew him as Neem Karoli Baba, but mostly as “Maharajji” – a nickname so commonplace in India that one can often hear a tea vendor addressed thus. Just as he said, he was "nobody". He gave no discourses; the briefest, simplest stories were his teachings. Usually, he sat or lay on a wooden bench wrapped in a plaid blanket while a few devotees sat around him. Visitors came and went; they were given food, a few words, a nod, a pat on the head or back, and they were sent away. There was gossip and laughter for he loved to joke. Orders for running the ashram were given, usually in a piercing yell across the compound. Sometimes he sat in silence, absorbed in another world to which we could not follow, but bliss and peace poured down on us. Who he was was no more than the experience of him. Here are his sublime life and teachings.
