Boris Yeltsin:The Decade that Shook the World
Boris Minayev
¥90.03
The literature on Boris Yeltsin is vast. Memoirs have been produced not only by politicians – first-hand participants in the events, Yeltsin himself penned three volumes of recollections – but also assistants, press secretaries, political analysts, journalists, MPs, retired members of Gorbachev’s Politburo, public figures now long forgotten, generals of special services and security service staff. Boris Minaev started working on Boris Yeltsin’s biography when the politician was still alive. In his work the author has used not only publicly accessible documents that have been printed or otherwise made accessible but also interviews that are published for the first time. In this unique biography of the first President of the Russian Federation author consistently describes events of Yeltsin's life, capturing and conveying his unique personality with all the contradictions of his character and principles that determined public attitude towards Yeltsin. Some saw him as an outstanding builder of the new Russia, others - as a destroyer of the great state. But whoever he was de facto, the decade of his rule shook the world. *** Boris Minayev is a Russian writer and correspondent. Minayev has worked for many Russian venues and is currently serving as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Medved. Boris Minayev is known for his children’s books and novels for mature readers. One of the most famous works of his that is being widely quoted in the media is his biography of Russia’s first president Boris Yeltsin, first published in the series ‘Lives of Extraordinary People’.

"Apakah kamu tidak memperhatikan bagaimana Tuhanmu telah bertindak terhadap tentara bergajah. Bukankah Dia telah menjadikan tipu daya mereka (untuk menghancurkan Ka'bah) itu sia-sia? Dan Dia mengirimkan kepada mereka burung yang berbondong-bondong yang melempari mereka dengan batu dari tanah yang terbakar, lalu Dia menjadikan mereka seperti daun-daun yang dimakan ulat." (QS. Al-Fiil: 1-5) Alkisah lahirlah seekor gajah di salah satu hutan Afrika. Gajah ini merupakan keturunan dari seekor gajah yang besar dan kuat, yang mampu mencabut pohon paling besar karena memiliki gading yang tajam dan belalai yang sangat kuat. Semua binatang yang ada di hutan takut kepadanya, termasuk singa si raja hutan. Tidak ada satu pun binatang yang dapat menandingi kekuatan ayah gajah tersebut. Sampai pada akhirnya, sang ayah gajah merasakan umurnya sudah tak panjang lagi. Sebelum sang ayah gajah mati, dia sempat berpesan kepada anaknya untuk tidak menggunakan kekuatannya untuk merusak atau menyakiti binatang lain. Setelah itu, ayah gajah pergi dan tidak pernah kembali lagi. Sejak saat itu, anak gajah mewarisi kekuatan dan kebesaran ayahnya. Dan dia menjadi gajah yang terbesar di antara gajah-gajah lainnya di hutan tersebut dan dia dinobatkan menjadi raja gajah. Suatu hari, sekelompok manusia masuk ke hutan. Mereka membuat jebakan untuk binatang-binatang hutan, tidak terkecuali para gajah. Satu persatu binatang terperosok ke dalam jebakan tersebut. Begitu juga sang raja gajah sendiri....

Kisah Supernatural Dari Dunia Jin Vol 2
Kisah Supernatural Dari Dunia Jin Vol 2
Muham Sakura Dragon
¥24.44
Jin adalah makhluk yang diciptakan oleh Allah SWT dari api dan ia mempunyai kemampuan untuk menampilkan dirinya dalam berbagai bentuk yang berbeda. Mereka juga makan-minum, melakukan hubungan lawan jenis, dan melahirkan keturunan, sebagaimana halnya manusia. Mereka dapat melihat manusia, sedangkan manusia tidak dapat menangkap sosok mereka (kecuali atas izin Allah SWT). Di antara mereka ada yang beriman dan ada pula yang kafir. Firman Allah SWT, ''Dan Kami telah menciptakan jin sebelum (Adam) dari api yang sangat panas.'' (QS Alhijr [15]: 27). Katakanlah (hai Muhammad), ''Telah diwahyukan kepadamu bahwasanya: telah mendengarkan sekumpulan jin, lalu mereka berkata: Sesungguhnya kami telah mendengarkan Alquran yang menakjubkan, (yang) memberi petunjuk kapada jalan yang benar, lalu kami beriman kepadanya. Dan kami sekali-kali tidak akan mempersekutukan seseorang pun dengan Tuhan kami.'' (QS Aljin [72]: 1-2). Selama ini sebagian besar orang menyangka bahwa setan merupakan makhluk halus jahat yang selalu mengganggu kaum manusia. Padahal, Allah SWT secara tegas berfirman, "Dan demikianlah Kami jadikan bagi tiap-tiap nabi itu musuh, yaitu setan-setan (dari jenis) manusia dan (dan jenis) jin, sebagian mereka membisikkan kepada sebagian yang lain dengan perkataan-perkataan yang indah-indah untuk menipu (manusia) ....'' (QS Alan'aam [6]: 112). Tentang ayat di atas, Ibnu Katsir mengatakan, ''Setan itu sendiri berarti segala sesuatu yang menyimpang dari tabiatnya berupa kejahatan. Dan tidak ada yang memusuhi para Rasul melainkan syaitan-syaitan baik dari jenis manusia maupun jin.'' Berbicara mengenai Iblis, Al Hasan Bishri mengemukakan, ''Iblis itu bukan dari golongan malaikat, sesungguhnya ia berasal dari golongan jin, sebagaimana Adam as adalah asal mula manusia.'' Allah SWT berfirman, ''Dan (ingatlah) ketika Kami berfirman kepada para malaikat, 'Sujudlah kamu kepada Adam, maka sujudlah mereka kecuali Iblis. Dia adalah dari golongan jin, maka ia mendurhakai perintah Tuhannya. Patutkah kamu mengambil dia dan keturunannya sebagai pemimpin selain daripada-Ku, sedang mereka adalah musuhmu? Amat buruklah iblis itu sebagai pengganti (dari Allah) bagi orang-orang yang zalim'.'' (QS Alkahfi [18]: 50). Di antara jin ada yang taat dan ada pula yang menyimpang dari kebenaran. Jin yang taat adalah yang benar-benar memilih jalan yang lurus. Kemudian ia akan mendapat surga dan segala yang telah Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala sediakan untuk kaum yang shalih.
