  Maimonides’ Latin translation of Moreh Nevukhim Guide for the Perplexed, was the most influential Jewish work in the last millennia (Di Segni, 2019; Rubio, 2006; Wohlman, 1988, 1995; Kohler, 2017). It marked the beginning of scholasticism, a daughter of Judaism raised by Jewish thinkers, according to historian Heinrich Graetz (Geschichte der Juden, L. 6, Leipzig 1861, p. xii). 
  Printed by Gutenberg's first mechanical press, its influence in the West went as far as the Fifth Lateran Council (1512 — 1517) "where scholars were encouraged to remove the difficulties which seemed to divide the whole of theology and philosophy (Leibniz, Théodicée, 11)." 
  For centuries, the Guide revolutionized the curriculum of school instruction by reintegrating the natural laws of thought in the sphere of faith (the fourth of which became Leibniz’ Principle of sufficient reason). 
  This complete collection of notes expounds the ideas of the Guide and features all the passages selected and rewritten by Leibniz. This first complete annotated bilingual translation of the original manuscripts in Latin serves as an entry point to the faith in conformity with Reason. 
  Rabbi Moses Maimonides' excellent book, A Guide to the Perplexed, is more philosophical than I had imagined and worthy of careful reading. The author, distinguished by his intelligence in philosophy, was well-versed in mathematics, medical art, and also in the knowledge of the sacred Scriptures. — G.W. LEIBNIZ, 1685, Leibniz’ Anthology of Maimonides’ Guide, Chapter III. 
  Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon referred to by the initials of his name as RAMBAM, also known in the past as Moseh d’Egypto (Moses of Egypt) because of his long residence there, was born in Córdoba (Spain) in 1131 4891 and left this temporal world in 1204 4964. He is the most universal Rabbi of an eternal tradition.

  Jim Morrison, the enigmatic frontman of the iconic rock band The Doors, lived a life filled with artistic expression, rebellion, and introspection. Born in 1943, Morrison's raw talent as a singer, songwriter, and poet was matched only by his charismatic stage presence and unconventional lifestyle. His music, poetry, and provocative persona continue to captivate audiences, making him an enduring figure in rock and roll history. 
   
  Morrison's legacy lies in his ability to push boundaries and challenge societal norms through his art. As the lyricist and vocalist of The Doors, he explored themes of love, darkness, freedom, and the human condition with profound intensity. Songs like "Light My Fire," "Break On Through (To the Other Side)," and "Riders on the Storm" showcased Morrison's poetic prowess and his willingness to delve into the depths of the human psyche. His performances were characterized by a raw, uninhibited energy that captivated audiences, establishing him as one of rock's most iconic and controversial figures. 
  In addition to his music, Morrison's poetry and writings reflected his profound introspection and artistic vision. He published two collections of poetry, "The Lords and the New Creatures" and "An American Prayer," which revealed his talent for blending vivid imagery, introspective musings, and social commentary. Morrison's exploration of themes such as identity, mortality, and spirituality added depth to his artistry and provided insight into his complex worldview. 
   
  Jim Morrison's life was cut tragically short when he passed away at the age of 27, joining the infamous "27 Club" alongside other legendary musicians. However, his impact on music, poetry, and the counterculture of the 1960s continues to resonate.

  Business tycoon Patrice Motsepe is never shy to shake up the status quo. He has always followed his instincts to stay ahead of the curve. An icon of corporate South Africa, he is as much known for his leadership in the world of football as for his philanthropy.
  He was a top lawyer when he pursued his dream of being an entrepreneur, making a deal with Anglo American in the late 1990s that marked the beginning of a series of unique relationships which today define his African Rainbow Minerals empire.
  As the owner of Mamelodi Sundowns, he led it to becoming one of the most accomplished clubs in Africa. Then came the powerful seats of president at the Confederation of African Football and vice-president of FIFA, football's global governing body, in 2021.
  Yet questions linger about his political ambitions because of his close links to the ANC and particularly his brothers-in-law, Cyril Ramaphosa and Jeff Radebe.
  In this unauthorised biography, best-selling author and journalist Janet Smith mines public archives, academic papers and international media to find what lies behind this hugely successful, intensely private man, and what may lie ahead.

  Edgar Allan Poe - Six of the...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
