  The Meaning of Surah 10 Yunus (Prophet Jonah AS) From Holy Quran (Священный Коран) Bilingual Edition English and Russian Standard Version. 
  Yunus (Jonah) is the 10th chapter (surah) of the Quran with 109 verses (ayat). Yunus is named after the Prophet Yunus AS (Jonah). According to traditional islamic chronology (asbab al-nuzul), it is believed to have been formulated or "revealed" before the migration of Prophet Muhammad SAW and his followers from Mecca to Medina, as such, it is known as a Meccan surah. The initial verses of the chapter (1-70) presents an argumentative dialogue between Islam and its unbelievers. The rest contains the stories of Prophet Nuh AS (Noah), Prophet Musa AS (Moses), and Prophet Yunus AS (Jonah), all considered prophets in Islam. The chapter also mentions the People of Jonah, who at first rejected Prophet Yunus AS (Jonah) message, but then repented and believed. Therefore, unlike the people of Noah and Moses, they were averted from Allah SWT (God) punishment. The mention of Jonah in verse 98 gives the chapter its name.Юнус (Иона) - 10-я глава (сура) Корана, содержащая 109 стихов (аят). Юнус назван в честь Пророка Юнуса А.С. (Ионы). Согласно традиционной исламистской хронологии (асбаб-аль-Нузул), считается, что она была сформулирована или "раскрыта" до миграции пророка Мухаммада и его последователей из Мекки в Медину, как таковая, она известна как сура Меккан. Первые стихи главы (1-70) представляют собой спорный диалог между исламом и его неверующими. Остальные рассказывают о пророке Нухе Асее (Ноа), пророке Мусе Асее (Моисей) и пророке Юнусе Асее (Иона), которые считаются пророками в исламе. В главе также упоминается народ Ионы, который сначала отверг послание Пророка Юнуса А.С. (Ионы), но затем покаялся и поверил. Поэтому, в отличие от народа Ноя и Моисея, они были избавлены от наказания Аллаха (Бога). Упоминание об Ионе в 98-м стихе дает главе имя.

  A unique literary journey through seven great writers’ responses to Shakespeare—including Virginia Woolf, Allen Ginsberg, John Keats and more.   No writer in the Western canon has been more influential on subsequent generations of writers than William Shakespeare. In The Great William, Theodore Leinwand explores how seven renowned writers—Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, Virginia Woolf, Charles Olson, John Berryman, Allen Ginsberg, and Ted Hughes—wrestled with this literary titan. What emerges is a constellation of remarkable intellectual and emotional encounters. Theodore Leinwand builds impressively detailed accounts of these writers’ experiences through their marginalia, lectures, letters, journals, and reading notes. We learn why Woolf associated reading Shakespeare with her brother Thoby, and what Ginsberg meant when referring to the mouth feel of Shakespeare’s verse. From Hughes’s attempts to find a “skeleton key” to all of Shakespeare’s plays to Berryman’s tormented efforts editing King Lear, Leinwand reveals the palpable energy and conviction with which these very different writers engaged with Shakespeare. In uncovering these public and private reactions, The Great William reveals the inspired insights, intense vexations, and profound admiration these writers experienced while reading Shakespeare.  A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Award-winner

  Carla Valentine works with the dead. After studying forensics, she assisted pathologists with post-mortems for years before becoming the curator of the world's most famous pathology museum. When it comes to death, she truly is an expert, and in this book she shares that expertise.Using the most common post-mortem process as the backbone of the narrative, The Chick and the Dead takes the listener through the process of an autopsy while also describing the history and changing cultures of our relationship with the dead. The book is full of vivid insight into what happens to our bodies in the end. Each chapter considers an aspect of an autopsy alongside an aspect of Carla's own life and work and touches on some of the more controversial aspects of our feelings towards death, including the relationship between sex and death and our attitudes toward human tissue collection.Starting with the first cut, we move from external examination into the body itself, discovering more about the heart, stomach, and brain, and into dismembered and reconstructed bodies, at each stage taking a colorful detour into the question of what these things can teach us about the living.
