Boris Yeltsin:The Decade that Shook the World
￥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.

Kisah Hikayat Islami Tentara Gajah Raja Abrahah
￥12.18
"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....

Our treatise proposes to find a line of inquiry whereby we shall be able to reason from opinions that are generally accepted about every problem propounded to us, and also shall ourselves, when standing up to an argument, avoid saying anything that will obstruct us. First, then, we must say what reasoning is, and what its varieties are, in order to grasp dialectical reasoning: for this is the object of our search in the treatise before us.

Sifat Zuhud ＆ Kesabaran Dalam Pandangan Islam
￥8.09
Merasa cukup (qanaah) terhadap apapun yang kita peroleh memang gampang-gampang susah. Ego diri, kurang bersyukur serta melihat seseorang yang lebih tinggi dan memiliki dari kita adalah penyakit-penyakit yang semestinya harus kita obati. Kendati demikian, tak sedikit pula orang-orang di sekeliling kita yang memilih untuk zuhud meski ia memiliki banyak harta, jabatan yang tinggi dan kekayaan yang tak ada habisnya. Lalu, apa definisi zuhud yang sebenarnya? Zuhud dalam sesuatu (al-zuhd fi al-sya’i) menurut bahasa artinya berpaling dari sesuatu yang bersifat duniawi karena menganggapnya hina, remeh, dan yang lebih baik adalah tidak membutuhkannya. Di dalam Alquran banyak disebutkan tentang zuhud di dunia, kabar tentang kehinaan dunia, kefanaan dan kemusnahannya yang begitu cepat, perintah memperhatikan kepentingan akhirat, dan kabar tentang kemuliaan dan keabadiannya. Jika Allah menghendaki suatu kebaikan pada diri seorang hamba, maka Dia menghadirkan di dalam hatinya bukti penguat yang membuatnya bisa membedakan hakikat dunia dan akhirat, lalu dia memprioritaskan mana yang lebih penting……
Sadhana: the Realisation of Life
￥8.09
Philosophical essays. According to Wikipedia: "Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941), sobriquet Gurudev, was a Bengali poet, novelist, musician, painter and playwright who reshaped Bengali literature and music. As author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse", he was the first non-European who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. His poetry in translation was viewed as spiritual, and this together with his mesmerizing persona gave him a prophet-like aura in the west. His "elegant prose and magical poetry" still remain largely unknown outside the confines of Bengal."

The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government
￥8.09
The President of the Confederate States of America presents his side of the story. The Preface begins: "The object of this work has been from historical data to show that the Southern States had rightfully the power to withdraw from a Union into which they had, as sovereign communities, voluntarily entered; that the denial of that right was a violation of the letter and spirit of the compact between the States; and that the war waged by the Federal Government against the seceding States was in disregard of the limitations of the Constitution, and destructive of the principles of the Declaration of Independence." According to Wikipedia: "Jefferson Finis Davis (June 3, 1808 – December 6, 1889) was an American politician who served as President of the Confederate States of America for its entire history, 1861 to 1865, during the American Civil War. A West Point graduate, Davis fought in the Mexican-American War as a colonel of a volunteer regiment, and was the United States Secretary of War under Franklin Pierce. Both before and after his time in the Pierce Administration, he served as a U.S. Senator from Mississippi. As a senator he argued against secession but believed each state was sovereign and had an unquestionable right to secede from the Union. Davis resigned from the Senate in January 1861, after receiving word that Mississippi had seceded from the Union. The following month, he was provisionally appointed President of the Confederate States of America. He was elected to a six-year term that November. During his presidency, Davis was not able to find a strategy to defeat the larger, more industrially developed Union. Davis' insistence on independence, even in the face of crushing defeat, prolonged the war. After Davis was captured in 1865, he was charged with treason, though not convicted, and stripped of his eligibility to run for public office. This limitation was removed in 1978, 89 years after his death. While not disgraced, he was displaced in Southern affection after the war by its leading general, Robert E. Lee."

The Ethics and Two Other Books
￥8.09
This file includes: The Ethics, On the Improvement of the Understanding, and A Theologico-Political Treatise (all four parts). According to Wikipedia: "Baruch or Benedict de Spinoza (November 24, 1632 – February 21, 1677) was a Dutch philosopher of Portuguese Jewish origin. Revealing considerable scientific aptitude, the breadth and importance of Spinoza's work was not fully realized until years after his death. Today, he is considered one of the great rationalists of 17th-century philosophy, laying the groundwork for the 18th century Enlightenment and modern biblical criticism. By virtue of his magnum opus, the posthumous Ethics, in which he opposed Descartes' mind–body dualism, Spinoza is considered to be one of Western philosophy's most important philosophers. Philosopher and historian Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel said of all modern philosophers, "You are either a Spinozist or not a philosopher at all." All of Spinoza's works were listed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum (List of Prohibited Books) by the Roman Catholic Church. Spinoza lived quietly as a lens grinder, turning down rewards and honors throughout his life, including prestigious teaching positions, and gave his family inheritance to his sister."

The Renascence of Hebrew Literature

From the Translator's Note: "The modern chapter in the history of Hebrew literature herewith presented to English readers was written by Dr. Nahum Slouschz as his thesis for the doctorate at the University of Paris, and published in book form in 1902. A few years later (1906-1907), the author himself put his Essay into Hebrew, and it was brought out as a publication of the _Tushiyah_, under the title _Korot ha-Safrut ha-'Ibrit ha-Hadashah_. The Hebrew is not, however, a mere translation of the French book. The material in the latter was revised and extended, and the presentation was considerably changed, in view of the different attitude toward the subject naturally taken by Hebrew readers, as compared with a Western public, Jewish or non-Jewish."
