This is a book about hope in the midst of a polarized culture. Camosy begins with a hopeful starting point in the midst of a crumbling US political culture: two of every three Americans constitute an “exhausted majority” who reject right/left polarization and are open to alternative viewpoints. Especially at this time of realignment, we have been given a unique moment to put aside the frothy, angsty political debates and think harder about our deepest values. A Consistent Life Ethic, especially one which embraces Pope Francis’ challenge to resist “throwaway culture”, has the capacity to unite people who for the last several decades imagined themselves in a polarized culture war. On issues ranging from hook-up culture, reproductive technology, abortion, euthanasia, poverty, immigration, treatment of animals, and mass incarceration, this book articulates a new moral vision in which a culture of encounter and hospitality replaces a consumer culture in which the most vulnerable get used and discarded as so much trash. At bottom, Camosy offers readers a golden opportunity to dialogue about what kinds of values should serve as the foundation for a new political culture.

Zwei Frauen – getrennt durch Jahrzehnte und Kontinente und vereint durch ein außergewöhnliches Familienerbstück – fordern in diesem mitreißenden Roman der New York Times-Bestsellerautorin Geheimnisse und verlorene Lieben zurück. Neu-England, 2022. Vor drei Jahren erhielt die alleinerziehende Mutter Mallory Dunne den Anruf, den alle Eltern fürchten: Ihr zehnjähriger Sohn Sam war mit einer akuten Vergiftung durch einen Totenkappenpilz aus dem Sommercamp geflogen worden, und kämpfte um sein Leben. Auf der Suche nach einer Spenderniere, die ihrem Sohn eine Chance auf ein normales Leben geben soll, ist Mallory gezwungen, sich mit zwei erschütternden Geheimnissen aus ihrer Vergangenheit auseinanderzusetzen: der Adoption ihrer Mutter aus einem berüchtigten irischen Waisenhaus im Jahr 1952 und ihrer eigenen, alles verschlingenden Sommerromanze vierzehn Jahre zuvor mit ihrem besten Freund aus Kindertagen, Monk Adams – einem der beliebtesten Singer-Songwriter der Welt – ein Märchen, das durch einen verheerenden Verrat ein jähes Ende fand. Kairo, 1951. Nach einer unfassbaren Tragödie im Krieg hat sich die ungarische Geflüchtete Hannah Ainsworth ein respektables neues Leben aufgebaut – die Ehe mit einem wohlhabenden britischen Diplomaten im glamourösen Kairo. Doch eine schicksalhafte Begegnung mit dem rätselhaften Manager eines Hotels voller Spione führt zu einer leidenschaftlichen Affäre, die Hannahs Sehnsucht nach allem, was sie einst verloren hat, wieder weckt. Während die Revolution auf den Straßen Ägyptens brodelt, findet sich die schwangere Hannah in einem Intrigenspiel zwischen zwei Männern wieder... und einem Akt der Aufopferung, der über Generationen hinweg nachhallen wird. Zeitlos und bittersüß nimmt Ehemänner & Liebhaber die Leser mit auf eine unvergessliche Reise voller Herzschmerz und Erlösung, von den revolutionären Bränden in Ägypten in der Mitte des Jahrhunderts bis zu den mit Vermögen gespickten Stränden des heutigen Neuenglands. Die gefeierte Autorin Beatriz Williams hat einen ergreifenden und wunderschönen Roman über zutiefst menschliche Charaktere geschrieben, die von moralisch komplexen Themen wie Privilegien, Klasse und der weiblichen Erfahrung in Welten verwoben sind, die zum Leben erweckt werden.

Kalila and Dimna is a book containing collection of fables. It was translated into Arabic in the Abbasid age specifically in the second hijri century (the eighth Gregorian century) by Abdullah ibn al-muqaffa using his own writing style. A lot of researchers have agreed that the book goes back to Indian roots, and was based on the Sanskrit text Pañcatantra. Then it was translated into Pahlavi language at the beginning of the sixth Gregorian century by orders from Khosrow I. The book introduction says that the Indian scholar "Bedba" wrote it for the king of India "Debshleem," the author used animals and birds as main characters in it, which mainly refer to human characters. The fables include several subjects the most remarkable among them is the relation between the king and his people, in addition to number of aphorisms and sermons. When Khosrow I heard about the book and what it contains of sermons, he ordered the physician Borzuya to travel to India and copy what is in the book and translate it into Persian Pahlavi.
