This highly accessible translation of the classic story of Sundiata, a real king who ruled the empire of Mali just south of the Sahara desert from 1235-55, engages readers while introducing African culture and oral tradition used in Africa.
Historian D. T. Niane received this version of the Sundiata epic from Djeli
(griot) Mamoudou Kouyate. It has been twice translated, from Malinke (or
Mandingo) into French, and then into English. The result is a prose novel, with explanatory endnotes.
This Revised Edition includes additional material that enhances the story and helps readers better understand the context in which this popular story is set: Background information (geography, religion, society and politics); Oral Tradition, Pronunciation, and Spelling; and a Who`s Who of Characters / Glossary of Places.
Fascinating and accessible to all, this is an epic story which should rank with the Iliad and the Odyssey as one of the world`s great adventure stories.

This book will serve as testimony and inspiration for the new generation... a tour de force articulation of a truly great life." - Rabbi Irving (Yitz) Greenberg
A comprehensive biography about the life and work of Rabbi Harold Shulweis who was essential in the renewal of Jewish life in post-war America.
Harold Schulweis was a dominant figure in the renewal of Jewish life in the post-war generation of American Jewry. Widely regarded as the most successful and influential pulpit rabbi of his generation, he shaped an extraordinary career as pulpit rabbi, theologian, public intellectual, and communal leader. His innovations in synagogue practice reshaped congregations across the continent introducing synagogue-based havurot, "para-rabbinics" and para-professional counseling programs, outreach to alienated Jews and "unchurched" Christians, opening the traditional synagogue to gay and lesbian Jews and their families, and welcoming families of children with special needs. With Leonard Fein, Schulweis founded Mazon, the Jewish communal response to hunger. He launched The Foundation for the Righteous - recognizing Christians who rescued Jews during the Holocaust - an effort chronicled on the CBS news program "60 Minutes." In the closing years of his career, he initiated the Jewish World Watch - a communal response to the incidence of genocide worldwide.

"The best writer of sports books in America today" (The Boston Globe) tells a thrilling story of friendship, football, and a fight for justice.
Renowned sports journalist and New York Times-bestselling author John Feinstein's young adult novel Backfield Boys follows best friends and football stars Jason Roddin and Tom Jefferson, a perfect, though unconventional, pair: Jason, the Jewish kid, is lightning fast and a natural wide-receiver, while African-American Tom has an amazing arm and a quarterback's feel for the game. After summer football camp at an elite sports-focused boarding school, the boys are thrilled to enroll on scholarship for their freshman year--despite their mothers' fears of injury and especially CTE.
On day one, they're stunned when the coaches make Tom a receiver and Jason a quarterback, a complete contradiction to their skill sets and training. Suspecting deep-seated racial bias, the boys speak out, risking both their scholarships and their chance to play. Soon local newspaper reports begin a secret investigation, and as tensions rise Jason and Tom must decide how much they're willing to lose in their quest to expose the ugly remnants of a racist past that still linger in contemporary jock culture. Praise for Backfield Boys: An intriguing look at racism in contemporary sports and the power private schools have in shaping sports and upholding racist traditions. --Booklist
"A strong football hook will draw in most sports fans . . . The boys' driving quest for the truth will keep readers engaged." --School Library Journal Over the years, John Feinstein has built a career covering many aspects of athletics as a sportswriter, author, and media commentator. He has also written several sports novels for young adult audiences. In his most recent novel, Feinstein tackles racism in a way that is both thought-provoking and timely. . . . The end product is a fast-paced, reflective, well-written book that simultaneously entertains and challenges its readers. --Children's Literature

Автор: Feinstein E Название: Pushkin ISBN: 0753807491 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780753807491 Издательство: Orion Цена: 12130.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: A compelling biography of the father of Russian literature, including new material relating to his death, by an acclaimed biographer and poet, published to tie in with the 2nd centenary of Pushkins death. Pushkin was Russia's greatest poet and his prose tales led directly to the flowering of the Russian novel through the 19th century. His story is a marvellous one, as poignant as Mozart's whom he resembled in his precocity, lack of guile and appetite forlife. Witty and incisively intelligent, he was nevertheless an object of suspicion for 2 Tsars. His genius aroused the enmity of beaurocrats who blocked him at every turn, and after a hopelessly unsuccessful marriage he was murdered in a dual aged 37.
