History of the Incas
￥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa (1532–1592) was a Galician (Spanish) explorer, author, historian, astronomer, and scientist… Written in Cuzco, the capital of the Inca Empire, just forty years after the arrival of the first Spaniards in the city, Sarmiento's The History of the Incas contains extremely detailed descriptions of Inca history and mythology. The royal sponsorship of the work guaranteed Sarmiento direct access to the highest Spanish officials in Cuzco. It also allowed him to summon influential natives, as well as those who had witnessed the fall of the Inca Empire, so that they could relate their stories. Sarmiento traveled widely and interviewed numerous local leaders and lords, surviving members of the royal Inca families, and the few remaining Spanish conquistadors who still resided in Cuzco. Once the first draft of the history was completed, in an unprecedented effort to establish the unquestionable authenticity of the work, his manuscript was read, chapter by chapter, to forty-two indigenous authorities for their commentary and correction. After the public reading, which occurred on 29 February and 1 March 1572, the manuscript was entrusted to a member of the viceroy's personal guard. He was to take the manuscript to Spain and deliver it to King Philip II, along with four painted cloths showing the history of the Incas and a number of other artifacts and objects that Toledo had collected. However, due to a series of unusual events, this irreplaceable document of Inca history was relegated to obscurity for centuries."

"Out of the first six Annals of Tacitus, with his account of German and Life of Agricola." According to Wikipedia: "Publius (or Gaius) Cornelius Tacitus (c. AD 56 – after 117) was a senator and a historian of the Roman Empire.

A literal translation.

Sallust was born at Amiternum in the country of the Sabines and was a popularis, opposer of the old Roman aristocracy throughout his career, and later a partisan of Julius Caesar. Sallust is the earliest known Roman historian with surviving works to his name, of which we have Catiline's War (about the conspiracy in 63 BC of L. Sergius Catilina), The Jugurthine War (about Rome's war against the Numidians from 111 to 105 BC), and the Histories (of which only fragments survive). Sallust was primarily influenced by the Greek historian Thucydides and amassed great (and ill-gotten) wealth from his governorship of Africa."

Kisah Supernatural Dari Dunia Jin Vol 1
￥24.44
Jin (bahasa arab Janna) secara harfiah berarti sesuatu yang berkonotasi "tersembunyi" atau "tidak terlihat". Bangsa Jin dahulu dikatakan dapat menduduki beberapa tempat dilangit dan mendengarkan berita-berita dari Allah SWT, setelah diutusnya seorang nabi yang bernama Nabi Muhammad SAW maka mereka tidak lagi bisa mendengarkannya karena ada barisan yang menjaga rahasia itu. “...dan sesungguhnya kami dahulu dapat menduduki beberapa tempat di langit itu untuk mendengar-dengarkan (berita-beritanya). Tetapi sekarang barangsiapa yang (mencoba) mendengar-dengarkan (seperti itu) tentu akan menjumpai panah api yang mengintai (untuk membakarnya) (Al-Jin 9:72) Asal pembentukan kata "jin" dari huruf 'jim' (?) dan 'nun' (?) menunjukkan makna tertutup, Syaikh al-Islam berkata: "Ia dinamakan jin karena ketertutupannya dari pandangan manusia."Kata jin menurut bahasa (Arab) berasal dari kata ijtinan, yang berarti istitar (tersembunyi). Jadi jin menurut bahasa berarti sesuatu yang tersembunyi dan halus, sedangkan syetan ialah sifat dari setiap yang durhaka dari golongan jin dan manusia.Tentang asal kejadian jin, Allah menjelaskan, kalau manusia pertama diciptakan dari tanah, maka jin diciptakan dari api yang sangat panas, seperti yang dijelaskan dalam surat Al-Hijr, dan kami telah menciptakan jin sebelum (Adam) dari api yang sangat panas." (Al-Hijr 15:27) Tidak semua jin yang didakwahi mau mengikuti dan beriman. Di antara mereka ada yang shalih dan ada yang tidak. Mereka menempuh jalan yang berbeda-beda. Seperti juga manusia, ada yang mau mengikuti jalan kebenaran dengan baik, adapula yang membangkang dan mengikuti jalan kesesatan 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. Buku ini megisahkan kehidupan kaum jin bersumberkan dari Al-Quran & Al-Hadist.

Kisah Hikayat Nabi Musa AS Melihat Tuhan Alam Semesta

Pada suatu ketika Nabi Musa telah memenuhi panggilan Allah subhana wa Ta'ala. Beliau naik ke gunung sinai (Thursina) setelah beliau menyempurnakan 40 malam yang diisi dengan puasa dan beribadah sendirian diatas gunung itu. Allah SWT pun berfirman dan menurunkan Taurat kepada beliau. Kemudian Nabi Musa as pun sangat rindu untuk melihat wajah Sang Kekasih yang telah berkata-kata kepada nya, wajah Rabb nya. " Dan tatkala Musa datang menurut waktu yang telah kami tentukan . Dan telah berfirman Rabb nya kepadanya : berkatalah ia, ya Rabb perlihatkanlah (dirimu) keapadaku , agar aku dapat memandang Engkau" Berkatalah Allah : Engkau sekali-kali tidak akan mampu melihatku, tetapi arahkanlah pandangan engkau ke gunung itu. Maka jika ia tetap pada tempatnya , niscaya engkau dapat melihatku. Setelah mendengar permintaan Nabi Musa as itu, kemudian Allah SWT berfirman : "Wahai putra Imran, sesungguhnya tidak akan ada yang sanggup untuk melihat KU, kemudian ia mampu untuk tetap hidup. "
Meneladani Sikap ＆ Perilaku Nabi Muhammad SAW
￥8.09
Bagi setiap muslim, cinta kepada Allah (mahabbatullah) adalah suatu hal yang mutlak. Demikian juga halnya kecintaan kepada Rasul-Nya, Muhammad SAW. Kecintaan kepada Allah dan Rasulullah SAW harus lebih tinggi daripada kecintaan terhadap yang lainnya, termasuk terhadap keluarga dan diri sendiri. Hal itu ditegaskan oleh Rasulullah dalam sabdanya, "Tiga perkara, apabila ketiga perkara itu ada pada diri seseorang, maka ia akan mendapatkan manisnya iman, apabila Allah dan Rasul-Nya lebih dicintai oleh dirinya dan tidak ada selain dari keduanya yang paling dicintai, dan tidaklah ia mencintai seseorang kecuali cinta karena Allah, dan ia membenci kembali kepada kekufuran sebagaimana ia benci untuk dilemparkan ke dalam api." (Shahih Al-Bukhari no 16, 21, 6401 dan 6941 dan Shahih Muslim no 67, dan 68, HR. Tirmidzi no 2624, dan HR, Nasa'i no 4991 dan 4992). Seperti dalam sebuah peribahasa, Tak kenal maka tak sayang, tak sayang maka tak cinta, agar kecintaan kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya itu dapat terlaksana, maka setiap muslim haruslah mengenal Allah dan Rasul-Nya. Mencintai Allah dilakukan dengan cara meneladani apa yang telah dilakukan Rasulullah SAW ?
Fall of the Reich:D-Day, Arnhem, Bulge and Berlin
￥38.62
Campaigns of World War II: Fall of the Reich is a military history of the Western European campaign from D-Day in June 1944 to the fall of Berlin in May 1945. Beginning with the Allied preparations for what would become Operation Overlord, from the initial discussions of Roosevelt and Churchill, to the deliberations and plans of Marshall and Brooke, and the subsequent appointment of commanders like Eisenhower, Montgomery and Ramsay, the book covers in detail the landings on the Normandy coast. Combining tactical coverage of events such as the severe fighting at Omaha and Pegasus Bridge, the Canadian success on Juno beach, and the 21st Panzer Division's aborted counterattack, with reporting of the reactions of Hitler and Rommel to the landings, the book provides an explanation of why the Allied advance ran out of steam, and a description of their struggle to escape the bocage hedgerows of Normandy. The US-led breakout in late July 1944 released Bradley and Patton's forces into the heart of France, and the liberation of Paris followed swiftly. A crumbling German defence led to Allied overconfidence and the resultant 'bridge too far' at Arnhem, but as the Allies approached the Rhine and the German border, resistance quickly stiffened. Hitler's last gamble, the attack through the Ardennes known as the Battle of the Bulge, brought temporary panic to the Allied ranks, but heroic stands at Bastogne and elsewhere, coupled with a German acute lack of petrol and the weather clearing to allow Allied aircraft to operate again, led to the defeat of the last Wehrmacht attack in the west. The final year of the war saw the Allies advancing as occupying forces into the heart of Germany, adopting Eisenhower's broad front strategy. Finally the book examines why the decision was made to allow the Red Army to occupy Berlin and remain on the western bank of the Elbe river. Part of a five-volume series on the Second World War written by prominent military historians, Fall of the Reich is a masterful account of the 1944–45 campaign in Western Europe that describes both the action on the front line and the decisions made behind the scenes that decided the fate of Nazi Germany.
