The Great Story of Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) In Islam
The Great Story of Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) In Islam
Muham Sakura Dragon
¥16.27
Prophet Ibrahim known as Abraham in the Hebrew bible, is recognized in Islam as a prophet and apostle of Allah SWT (God) and patriarch of many peoples. In Muslim belief, Abraham fulfilled all the commandments and trials which God tried him with over his lifetime. As a result of his unwavering faith in God, Abraham was promised by God to be a leader to all the nations of the world. The Quran extols Prophet Abraham as a model, an exemplar, obedient and not an idolator. In this sense, Abraham has been described as representing "primordial man in universal surrender to the Divine Reality before its fragmentation into religions separated from each other by differences in form". The Islamic holy day Eid al-Adha is celebrated in memory of the bravery of Abraham, and Muslims perform the pilgrimage to pay homage at the Kaaba which Abraham had set up and reformed. Muslims believe that the prophet Abraham became the leader of the righteous in his time and it was through him that the people of both Arabia and Israel came. Abraham, in the belief of Islam, was instrumental in cleansing the world of idolatry at the time. Paganism was cleared out by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) in both Arabia and Canaan. He spiritually purified both places as well as physically sanctifying the houses of worship. Abraham and Ismail (Ishmael) further established the rites of pilgrimage, or Hajj, which are still followed by Muslims today. Muslims maintain that Abraham further asked God to bless both the lines of his progeny, of Prophet Ismail (Ishmael) and Prophet Ishaq (Isaac), and to keep all of his descendants in the protection of God. They also believe that Prophet Muhammad SAW is a descendant of Prophet Abraham through Prophet Ishmael (Ismail).

Japanese Folktales The Legends of Beautiful Golden Hairpin
Xenosabrina Sakura
¥16.27
Up in the northern city of Sendai, whence come the best of Japanese soldiers, there lived a samurai named Hasunuma. Hasunuma was rich and hospitable, and consequently much thought of and well liked. Some thirty-five years ago his wife presented him with a beautiful daughter, their first child, whom they called 'Ko,' which means 'Small' when applied to a child, much as we say 'Little Mary or Little Jane.' Her full name was really 'Hasu-ko,' which means 'Little Lily'; but here we will call her 'Ko' for short. Exactly on the same date, 'Saito,' one of Hasunuma's friends and also a samurai, had the good fortune to have a son. The fathers decided that, being such old friends, they would wed their children to each other when old enough to marry; they were very happy over the idea, and so were their wives. To make the engagement of the babies more binding, Saito handed to Hasunuma a golden hairpin which had long been in his family, and said: 'Here, my old friend, take this pin. It shall be a token of betrothal from my son, whose name shall be K?noj?, to your little daughter Ko, both of whom are now aged two weeks only. May they live long and happy lives together.' Hasunuma took the pin, and handed it to his wife to keep; then they drank saké to the health of each other, and to the bride and bridegroom of some twenty years thence.

Se opintea n Parcul Sub Arini o crti s ias la lumin. Traversam Trinkbachul clcnd atent pe un butean, m oprisem, vzusem iarba micndu-se pe mal. Am crezut nti c-i o oprl.

Orice ieire din singurtate mi se pare un efort, o corvoad, orice vorb rostit sun, n cele din urm, ca un eec.Sobolii parc mai tiau i s noate, i parc tot clefiau la rme suculente cu poft – sunt delicii destule i dincoace de malul nverzit, e de ajuns doar s tii c ieirea (dac e s-i zicem aa) este acolo, i c are sens s te opinteti i s te zbai de dincolo de ea doar ca s ai de unde te ntoarce la tine.Poate c despre asta este Simfonia animalier, un microroman cu un arici, un hrciog i un sobol.“ – Veronica D.

Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde’s story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author’s most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray’s moral disintegration caused a scandal when it ?rst appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel’s corrupting in?uence, he responded that there is, in fact, “a terrible moral in Dorian Gray.” Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde’s homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment. Of Dorian Gray’s relationship to autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, “Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be—in other ages, perhaps.”

Cazul Lempicka–Distelli–Cruz–Klozevic–Heht–Strauss (caci detectivul Eugen Strauss a intrat si a iesit din inima crimei ritualice de cate ori l-a obligat ordinul sau masonic, caruia i se supunea neconditionat) a fost limpezit intr-o noapte, la barul restaurantului Soarele de la miezul noptii. In ultimele 24 de secunde ale noptii in care implinea 18 ani, doamna Ora (careia i se spunea asa de la 6 ani, cand fusese gasita si luata de nevasta de Isaia Cruz, directorul agentiei de pariuri de la hipodrom) a intrat in restaurant, si-a fasait indelung rochia de tafta printre mesele prea apropiate si s-a catarat pe cel mai inalt scaun de la bar. Genunchii ei luminau intreaga incapere. Mirosea a parfum Flora doar daca te apropiai la mai putin de trei pasi de ea, pentru ca folosise ultimele trei picaturi (din cele patru care mai erau in sticluta hexagonala) cand plecase de acasa. Ce beti a intrebat-o barmanul, care avea un cercel in spranceana dreapta si reverul camasii ridicat, ca un evantai instelat. Tokay negru, zise doamna Ora, chicotind lasciv. Tokay sa fie, zise barmanul care, probabil din pricina umezelii din bar, incepuse sa miroasa si el a Flora crepuscular. Totul s-a terminat, a zis doamna Ora, de aia fericirea incepe cu T. De la Terminat. Si tot de aia Taina e intotdeauna mai veche ca adevarul.“ –Simona Sora Aleksandr este androgin", ne avertizeaza Pavic de la bun inceput, astfel ca personajul sau se va chema cand Sandra, cand Aleksa. De aici o intriga extrem de complicata si amuzanta, un roman de dragoste calat pe un thriller palpitant, in care personajele isi afiseaza mereu alta identitate, iar parfumul, pentru doamne sau pentru domni, devine o rafinat olfactiva proba detectivistica. Si o casa de licitatie pentru vise. La Symptom House“ se vand vise si benzile cu descrierea viselor vandute lui Distelli si Lempicka. Iar rezolvarea acestui extrem de incalcit caz Distelli–Cruz–Lempicka–Heth va apartine. Inovatia la nivelul structurii si bogatia imaginatiei fac din acest roman al lui Pavi o sarbatoare a lecturii.“ – The New York Times Book Review
