A new translation from the French by Marion Wiesel. Night is Elie Wiesel's masterpiece, a candid, horrific, and deeply poignant autobiographical account of his survival as a teenager in the Nazi death camps.This new translation by Marion Wiesel, Elie's wife and frequent translator, presents this seminal memoir in the language and spirit truest to the author's original intent. And in a substantive new preface, Elie reflects on the enduring importance of Night and his lifelong, passionate dedication to ensuring that the world never forgets man's capacity for inhumanity to man.Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be.

Eye-opening and compelling, the overlooked world of freight shipping, revealed as the foundation of our civilization On ship-tracking Web sites, the waters are black with dots. Each dot is a ship; each ship is laden with boxes; each box is laden with goods. In postindustrial economies, we no longer produce but buy, and so we must ship. Without shipping there would be no clothes, food, paper, or fuel. Without all those dots, the world would not work. Yet freight shipping is all but invisible. Away from public scrutiny, it revels in suspect practices, dubious operators, and a shady system of "flags of convenience." And then there are the pirates.Rose George, acclaimed chronicler of what we would rather ignore, sails from Rotterdam to Suez to Singapore on ships the length of football fields and the height of Niagara Falls; she patrols the Indian Ocean with an anti-piracy task force; she joins seafaring chaplains, and investigates the harm that ships inflict on endangered whales. Sharply informative and entertaining, Ninety Percent of Everything reveals the workings and perils of an unseen world that holds the key to our economy, our environment, and our very civilization.

A New York Times BestsellerWith a New AfterwordThe world's leading intellectual offers a probing examination of the nature of U.S. policies post-9/11, and the perils of valuing power above democracy and human rights.In an incisive, thorough analysis of the current international situation, Noam Chomsky examines the way that the United States, despite the rise of Europe and Asia, still largely sets the terms of global discourse. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from the sordid history of U.S. involvement with Cuba to the sanctions on Iran, he details how America's rhetoric of freedom and human rights so often diverges from its actions. He delves deep into the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel-Palestine, providing unexpected and nuanced insights into the workings of imperial power on our increasingly chaotic planet. And, in a new afterword, he addresses the election of Donald Trump and what it shows about American society.Fierce, unsparing, and meticulously documented, Who Rules the World? delivers the indispensable understanding of the central issues of our time that we have come to expect from Chomsky.An American Empire Project

Bogen bringer en ny oversættelse af tre centrale skrifter, hvor Luther behandler det almindelige præstedømme, som omfatter alle troende og så tjenesten med den offentlige forkyndelsen af evangeliet med ord og sakramenter, som man vælges til. Fordi alle troende er præster med både ret og pligt til at forkynde evangeliet, må ingen af sig selv trænge frem og forkynde offentligt i menigheden uden at være valgt til det af de andre. Men privat og hvor der ikke er andre, har enhver ret og pligt til at forkynde evangeliet. Derfor advarer Luther også mod folk, der ukaldet lister sig rundt i menighederne og optræder som forkyndere. Dette aspekt behandles udførligt i den sidste skrift fra 1532 »Om luskepeterne og de hemmelige prædikanter«.

I 1524-25 skriver Luther to skrifter mod hans tidligere forbundsfælle Andreas Karlstadt, som stod i spidsen for de voldsomme og radikale angreb på katolske helgenbilleder og altre, mens Luther opholdt sig i skjul på Wartburg. Karlstadt udskiftede præstedragten med almindeligt tøj og kaldte sig selv for broder Andreas. Han indførte også nadver med både brød og vin i bykirken i Wittenberg. Hans udgave af kristendommen lagde vægten på de åndelige oplevelser og Åndens direkte ledelse. Derimod var Bibelen en underordnet ting, som kun bestod af døde bogstaver. I forlængelse af det mente han heller ikke, at brød og vin i nadveren var andet end et symbol på Jesu åndelige legeme. Imod denne radikale udgave af kristendommen er det Luther i hast skriver de to skrifter her i bogen. Først et åbent brev med advarsel mod »Sværmerånden« og dernæst en mere uddybende og grundig behandling mod »De himmelske profeter«, som Luther kalder dem. Det er i dette skrift, Luther også giver en af sine mest udførlige behandlinger af forskellen på erhvervelsen af syndernes forladelse og uddelingen af denne skat. Erhvervelsen er sket én gang på korset, men uddelingen sker igen og igen gennem ord og sakramenter. Og det er kun på denne måde, Helligånden kommer til mennesker.

Is love a possibility within our reach? "We probably have wondered in our many lonesome moments if there is one corner in this competitive, demanding world where it is safe to be relaxed, to expose ourselves to someone else, and to give unconditionally. It might be very small and hidden. But if this corner exists, it calls for a search through the complexities of our human relationships in order to find it." -- from Intimacy Writing from his vast experience as a pastoral counselor, Henri Nouwen addresses the basic question, "How can I find a creative and fulfilling intimacy in my relationship with God an my fellow human beings?" He conducts a rich and insightful exploration into the balance between intimacy and distance, the problems in trying to develop lasting and productive relationships on all levels, and the connections between intimacy and sexuality, pray, faith, and the mental well-being of the minister. Intimacy is an essential resource for anyone struggling to grasp the profound implications of this most basic human needs.

Luthers skrift »Om den sande kirke og den falske kirke« er et uddrag af skriftet »Wider Hans Wurst«, som Luther udgav i 1541. Det var et gensvar til hertug Heinrich von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, som var stor modstander af reformationen. Luther kalder ham spottende »Hans Wurst«, som på dansk kan gengives med »Pølse-Hans«. Det var en kendt klovnefigur eller nar, som svarer lidt til vores Pjerrot. I uddraget fra dette skrift, som udkom i særtryk i 1543, behandler Luther forskellen mellem den sande og falske kirke. Han viser, hvad der er deres respektive kendetegn. Han viser, at det i virkeligheden er den lutherske kirke, der er den gamle, sande kirke. Det er nemlig den lutherske kirke, der fastholder alle den oprindelige kirkes lærepunkter, mens den pavelige kirke har tilføjet en lang række nye ting, uden belæg i hverken skrift eller tradition. Og værst af alt har paven forvanske den apostolske lære om menneskets frelse alene ved tro på Kristus og har i stedet indført en lang række menneskelige præstationer. I uddraget giver Luther desuden sin opfattelse af, hvordan reformationen i det hele taget begyndte og hvad årsagen var.

The enemy in washington is more to be feared than the enemy in Moscow Communism did not destroy tariff protection created by George Washington. Communism did not force the United States to adopt graduated income tax. Communism did not create the Federal Reserve Board. Communism did not force the United Nations on America. Communism did not take away the Panama Canal away from the American people. Communism did not create the Global 2000 report mass genocide plan. It is socialism that has brought forth these evils upon the United States. One World Order: Socialist Dictatorship tells how this was, and is being accomplished.

"Bold, important and masterful . . . Marmot''s message is not just timely, it''s urgent." -The Washington Post Book WorldYou probably didn''t realize that when you graduate from college you increase your lifespan, or that your co-worker who has a slightly better job is more likely to live a healthier life. In this groundbreaking book, epidemiologist Michael Marmot marshals evidence from nearly thirty years of research to demonstrate that status is not a footnote to the causes of ill health-it is the cause. He calls this effect the status syndrome.The status syndrome is pervasive. It determines the chances that you will succumb to heart disease, stroke, cancers, infectious diseases, even suicide and homicide. And the issue, as Marmot shows, is not simply one of income or lifestyle. It is the psychological experience of inequality-how much control you have over your life and the opportunities you have for full social participation-that has a profound effect on your health.The Status Syndrome will utterly change the way we think about health, society, and how we live our lives.

In this first collection of interviews since the bestselling 9-11, our foremost intellectual activist examines crucial new questions of U.S. foreign policyTimely, urgent, and powerfully elucidating, this important volume of previously unpublished interviews conducted by award-winning radio journalist David Barsamian features Noam Chomsky discussing America's policies in an increasingly unstable world. With his famous insight, lucidity, and redoubtable grasp of history, Chomsky offers his views on the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the doctrine of "preemptive" strikes against so-called rogue states, and the prospects of the second Bush administration, warning of the growing threat to international peace posed by the U.S. drive for domination. In his inimitable style, Chomsky also dissects the propaganda system that fabricates a mythic past and airbrushes inconvenient facts out of history.Barsamian, recipient of the ACLU's Upton Sinclair Award for independent journalism, has conducted more interviews and radio broadcasts with Chomsky than has any other journalist. Enriched by their unique rapport, Imperial Ambitions explores topics Chomsky has never before discussed, among them the 2004 presidential campaign and election, the future of Social Security, and the increasing threat, including devastating weather patterns, of global warming. The result is an illuminating dialogue with one of the leading thinkers of our time-and a startling picture of the turbulent times in which we live.
