Kareena is understandably nervous on her wedding night, when she will make love to her husband for the first time - but at least she knows her parents have chosen well. Samir is goodlooking, gentle and considerate - and, although she's met him only a few times, Kareena is confident she will grow to love him. But Samir has a secret. A secret in the shapely form of Cloey whom he's been dating for the past six years. Cloey isn't prepared to give up her man - or, more importantly, his bank balance without a fight. And she's prepared to fight very dirty indeed. Kareena, however, is not the timid little Indian bride Cloey had expected her to be. In fact, Cloey might just have met her match.
A high-stakes game of wealth, power, and international intrigue
When Marina sets eyes on gorgeous hotel owner Thomas Harding, she knows her search for a rich and handsome man is at an end. But, how can a loud mouthed Indian girl from the wrong side of the tracks hope to capture his heart?
The polemics Pablo Neruda was involved in from the 1930s on are legendary, but not even the ferocity of those attacks would lead one to believe that today, a half a century after his death, he would still be on trial. In this consistent and emphatic book, the great Nerudian critic Hernan Loyola addresses Neruda's sins: the machista, the fableteller, the rapist, the bad husband, the bad father, the plagiarist, the insolent one, the abandoner, the Stalinist and the bourgeois. Loyola's objective is to review and discuss with the greatest amount of intellectual honesty that he can humanly muster as an admiring literary critic and with deep sympathy for his unforgettable friend the most tenacious and disseminated accusations attributed to Pablo Neruda. All told, this book is an impressive biographical and poetic interpretation of the most salient aspects of the Nobel Laureate's life.

Yet no matter how much pain and anger stain their lives, bonds in the Irin race cannot be abandoned. Damien and Sari will never truly leave each other, because those who are destined cannot be ignored. “She hates me as she loves me. Wholly and completely.

It is the fourth book in the Irin Chronicles, a romantic fantasy series by ten-time USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Hunter.
Provides an insight into the everyday lives of Sufi devotees of the eighth-eleventh centuries and the moral and ethical dilemmas they were facing. This work invites the reader to explore the world of Islamic ascetic and mystical piety.
'A'ishah al-Ba'uniyyah of Damascus was one of the great women scholars in Islamic history. Born into a prominent family of pious scholars and Sufi devotees, 'A'ishah received a thorough religious education and memorized the Quran at age eight. A mystic and a prolific poet and writer, she composed more works in Arabic than any other woman before the twentieth century. Yet despite her extraordinary literary and religious achievements, 'A'ishah al-Ba'uniyyah remains largely unknown. For the first time, her key work, The Principles of Sufism, is available in English translation. The Principles of Sufism is a mystical guide book to help others on their spiritual path. Outlining the four principles of Repentance, Sincerity, Remembrance, and Love, it traces the fundamental stages and states of the spiritual novice’s transformative journey, emphasizing the importance of embracing both human limitations and God’s limitless love. Drawing on lessons and readings from centuries-old Sufi tradition, 'A'ishah advises the seeker to repent of selfishness and turn to a sincere life of love. In addition to his lucid translation, Th. Emil Homerin provides an insightful introduction, notes and a glossary to 'A'ishah al-Ba'uniyyah’s remarkable account of the pursuit of mystical illumination. An English-only edition.
In The Vices of Learning: Morality and Knowledge at Early Modern Universities, Sari Kivistö examines scholarly vices in the late Baroque and early Enlightenment periods. Moral criticism of the learned was a favourite theme of Latin dissertations, treatises and satires written in Germany ca. 1670–1730. Works on scholarly pride, logomachy, curiosity and other vices kept the presses running at German Protestant universities as well as farther north. Kivistö shows how scholars constructed fame and how the process involved various means of producing celebrity. The book industry, plagiarism and impressive titles were all labelled dishonest means of advancing a career. In The Vices of Learning Kivistö argues that scholarly ethics was an essential part of the early modern intellectual framework.
In an original and compelling examination of traditional mathematics, this comprehensive study of the anonymous "Manual of Mongolian Astrology and Divination" (published by A. Mostaert in 1969) takes on the fundamental problem of the post-enlightenment categorization of knowledge, in particular the inherently problematic realms of religion and science, as well as their subsets, medicine, ritual, and magic. In the process of elucidating the rhetoric and logic shaping this manual the author reveals not only the intertwined intellectual history of Eurasia from Greece to China but also dismantles many of the discourses that have shaped its modern interpretations.
Molieres 'Tartuffe' gehort zu den popularsten Theaterstucken Europas - nicht ohne Grund, denn Heuchler, insbesondere religiose, enttarnt zu sehen ist ein Vergnugen der besonderen Art. Auch in Indien bestand zu keiner Zeit ein Mangel an entsprechenden Studienobjekten, so dass die Adaptation des Stucks durch P.K. Atre (einem der bekanntesten Autoren des indischen Bundesstaats Maharashtra) aus dem Jahr 1963 gut in das Bild kritischer Texte und volkstumlichen Witzes seit dem indischen Mittelalter passt. Die sudasiatische Tartuffe-Version ist fur westliche Leser aus verschiedenen Grunden reizvoll: Tartuffes indisches Gegenstuck ist ein Guru, d.h. er gehort einer Spezies an, die inzwischen auch hierzulande anzutreffen ist. Geschickt hat der Autor das franzosische Szenario des 17. Jh. in das Indien des 20. Jh. eingepasst, naturlich mit einigen charakteristischen Veranderungen. Diese betreffen teils die gesellschaftlichen Verhaltnisse, teils die ausseren Formen der Religiositat, von denen auch einige der altehrwurdigsten von Atres Witz nicht verschont bleiben. Um westlichen Lesern den Einstieg in die hinduistische Welt zu erleichtern, sind der Ubersetzung ausfuhrliche Noten und eine Einfuhrung beigegeben. Fur diejenigen, die ihre Kenntnisse des Mara - h - (der Sprache Maharashtras) aufbessern wollen, enthalt der Band zusatzlich das Original des Stucks.Molieres 'Tartuffe' is one of the most popular plays of Europe - not without reason, because it is a pleasure of the special kind to see unmasked hypocrites - religious in particular. As is the case in Europe, a lack of appropriate study objects also never existed in India. The adaptation of the piece by P.K. Atre (a well-known author of the Indian Federal State Maharashtra) from the year 1963 therefore fits well into the tradition of critical texts and popular jokes since the Indian Middle Ages. The South Asiatic version of Tartuffe is delightful for Western readers for different reasons: Tartuffe's Indian counterpart is a Guru, i.e. he belongs to a species, which can be found also in Europe in the meantime. With great skills the author has adapted the French scenario of the 17th Century into the India of the 20th Century naturally with some characteristic changes. These concern partly social and religious conditions, of which even some of the most patriarchal do not remain exempted from Atres jokes. In order to facilitate the entrance into the Hindu world for western readers, the translation is accompanied by detailed notes and an introduction. For those, who want to improve their knowledge of the Marahi (the language Maharashtras), the volume contains additionally the original of the piece.
