  RUSSIAN LANGUAGE FOR BEGINNERS is a comprehensive two-volume textbook designed to help you learn to speak, read and write in Russian. It is available in three formats: a printed book, an e-book and an audiobook. The printed book and the e-book versions focus on learning to read and write in Russian, while the audiobook is an excellent resource for improving listening comprehension and learning correct pronunciation. For the best learning experience, we recommend using the printed book in combination with the audiobook. 
  This textbook uses a highly effective method of language teaching that is geared towards native speakers of English. Where possible, grammar and vocabulary are explained through analogies and comparisons with the English language, and etymology is widely used as a mnemonic device to aid memorisation. 
  The exercises included in this book will not only help you use new words and grammatical constructions but also introduce information about Russian culture and the city of Moscow. Most of the exercises are accompanied by answer keys for self-checking. The lexical and grammatical elements included have been carefully selected to meet the requirements of the A1 level (the first level of Russian in the Common European Framework).

  Ancient Egyptian Conspiracy...

  Given how far back the Egyptian civilization goes, it’s no surprise that Egypt is still full of mystery, and the unknown continues to generate conspiracy theories that attempt to fill in the gaps. For example, generations have viewed Egypt’s pyramids and the Great Sphinx as symbols of a lost past, which in turn leads to Egypt’s portrayal as a world full of romance and mystery. The age and structural integrity of these magnificent structures also make them symbols of longevity and power, which is only fitting because those are two purposes the ancient pharaohs who commissioned them intended them to serve. 
  In fact, while the sphinx was a well-known mythological creature among various ancient civilizations, the Egyptian statue that is now most famously associated with the creature is full of mysteries that have been endlessly debated throughout the centuries and continue to be hotly contested among scholars. The famous “Riddle of the Sphinx”, told by Sophocles in his play Oedipus Rex in the 5th century B.C., characterized the sphinx as a clever and powerful creature, and the mysteries of the Egyptian statue were discussed even among the ancient Romans. Even the source of the damage suffered by the Sphinx has become the stuff of legend, as evidenced by the story of Napoleon’s French soldiers shooting off the Sphinx’s nose. 
  Of course, the Sphinx is merely one object in Egypt that has been the source of endless theories. The discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb revived the legends of pharaohs’ curses and mummies, and ancient Egyptian art has been analyzed in seemingly every conceivable way possible as people come up with alternate theories for how the Egyptians built their most famous buildings and forged their enduring civilization.

  Judeophobia - A History

  Shlomo Sand

  • 0

  Throughout the history of the Western world, Jews have suffered various forms of exclusion, stigmatization, and discrimination that have forced them always to be aware of their particular situation. The Jews became a community under siege and, as Shlomo Sand argues, Judaism was shaped by the hostile gaze of Christian civilization. While the forms of hostility endured by the Jews have varied over the centuries, it is impossible to understand twentieth century anti-Judaism, or Jewish identity itself, without taking account of the sediments of mental hatred, fueled by religious belief, which have survived the passage of time. 
   
  While antisemitism is the term commonly used today, Sand prefers 'Judeophobia', which predates the appearance of 'antisemitism' and is more precise. Looking back over the centuries, he seeks to identify some of the stages in the age-old, incandescent hatred of the Jews and tries to understand what remains today of this trenchant hostility. He also questions whether Zionism, born as a distressed response to modern Judeophobia, has ended up mirroring it. To what extent has Zionism inherited the ideological foundations that have always been characteristic of the persecutors of the Jews? This history of anti-Jewish hatred will be of interest to anyone concerned with one of the most insidious and persistent features of Western civilization.
