Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2023No masters but God
Portraits of anarcho-Judaism
by Hayyim Rothman
The forgotten legacy of religious Jewish anarchism, and the adventures and ideas of its key figures, finally comes to light in this book. Set in the decades surrounding both world wars, No masters but God identifies a loosely connected group of rabbis and traditionalist thinkers who explicitly appealed to anarchist ideas in articulating the meaning of the Torah, traditional practice, Jewish life and the mission of modern Jewry. Full of archival discoveries and first translations from Yiddish and Hebrew, it explores anarcho-Judaism in its variety through the works of Yaakov Meir Zalkind, Yitshak Nahman Steinberg, Yehudah Leyb Don-Yahiya, Avraham Yehudah Heyn, Natan Hofshi, Shmuel Alexandrov, Yehudah Ashlag and Aaron Shmuel Tamaret. With this ground-breaking account, Hayyim Rothman traces a complicated story about the modern entanglement of religion and anarchism, pacifism and Zionism, prophetic anti-authoritarianism and mystical antinomianism.

Genealogy, heraldry, names & honoursMay 2015Anne Clifford's Great Books of Record
by Jessica L. Malay
In her Great Books of Record Anne Clifford places herself within the dynamic history of the ancient Clifford family, providing an unbroken view into medieval and early modern life for nearly six centuries. In this annotated edition, we glimpse the lives of simple widows, traders, farmers, and labourers juxtaposed with the adventures of soldiers, lords and ladies, princes and princesses. Throughout, Anne Clifford asserts the centrality of women to the success of noble families, including the monarchy. Her Great Books draws upon medieval traditions and early modern scholarship and builds upon these through biographies of the Clifford lords and ladies, along with an extended biography of her mother Margaret Russell and her own autobiographical 'Life of Mee'. Those interested in the lives of medieval and early modern women, changes in culture, the effect of the political upon individuals, and the inspiring life of Anne Clifford will find this a rich and rewarding book.

October 2021Off the Record. Unsere Worte sind unsere Macht
Ein Roman über Gerechtigkeit und Mut ab 14 Jahren
by Camryn Garrett, Isabel Abedi
Schweigen bedeutet Unrecht. Reden bedeutet die Gefahr, alles zu verlieren. Für was würdest du dich entscheiden? Schreiben ist Josies Leben. In Texten kann sie ihre Gedanken fliegen lassen und ihr inneres Sorgenkarussell anhalten. Als die 17-Jährige einen Schreibwettbewerb gewinnt, darf sie ein Filmteam auf eine Pressetour durch die USA begleiten. Doch auf der Reise erfährt Josie etwas Ungeheuerliches: Ein gefeierter Regisseur belästigt Mädchen und Frauen am Set - und kommt offenbar schon lange damit durch. Schnell wird die ersehnte Reise zu ihrer größten Herausforderung, denn was kann ein Mädchen wie sie schon ausrichten? Es gibt so viele Gründe, zu schweigen. Es gibt so viele Gründe, nichts zu sagen. Und doch muss Josie den Mut finden, den Text zu schreiben, der alles verändern wird. In „Off the Record“ gibt Camryn Garrett all den mutigen und kämpferischen Menschen ein Gesicht, die sich für Gerechtigkeit einsetzen und deren Geschichten doch zu oft unsichtbar bleiben. „Selten habe ich einen Menschen, der sich selbst als ängstlich bezeichnet, so für seinen Mut bewundert, wie Josie Wright. Ihre Story macht Mut. Sie geht uns alle an - und dieser Roman ist ganz großes Kino.“ (Isabel Abedi)
