Кто из нас в детстве не любил сказок? В суете современной жизни мы забываем об этом, а если вспомнить, с каким упоением мы слушали родителей, читающих нам сказку на ночь, с каким трепетом брали в руки первую книгу? Мы с замиранием сердца ждали от сказок чудес и волшебства, и получали их сполна.

The setting of 1st and 2nd Maccabees is about a century and a half after the conquest of Judea by the Greeks under Alexander the Great. It tells how the Greek ruler Antiochus IV Epiphanes attempted to suppress the Jewish religion, resulting in the Maccabean Revolt from 175 to 134 BCE.

Understanding God grabs your mind and your spirit and does not let go. It's the result of lifetimes dedicated to the search to understand God, but it is not a work of religion or philosophy. It does not preach; it is not religious; it is not polarizing; it does not have an agenda. It is written in clear, sparse language that both nourishes and challenges your thinking about your relationship with the eternal, and how that relationship shapes your everyday decisions. Listeners are plentiful; thinkers are rare.

Known as a very strong man and an expert shot, William Tell took part in the resistance against the rule of the Habsburg, the emperors of Austria who had vowed to dominate his country. He was arrested for disobedience, which led to the cruelest punishment a prince could think of. Tell famously succeeded, but this was not to be the end of his tribulation. His struggle for liberty eventually sparked a rebellion which marked History.

El Cantar de los Cantares es una celebración del amor sexual entre dos amantes y consiste de elogios entre los amantes, las manifestaciones de su deseo, y unas invitaciones a disfrutar de la unión sexual entre dos personas. Por ello, el Cantar es un libro único en la Biblia y no encaja en ninguno de los principales géneros bíblicos: no se ocupa ni de la Ley, ni de los profetas, no es propiamente un libro sapiencial, ni examina tampoco la alianza y ni siquiera se ocupa de Dios.

Книга Бытия. Ветхий Завет: Русский синодальный перевод. Библия - книга, с которой должен быть знаком любой культурный человек. Нет на свете другого произведения, которое оказало бы столь большое влияние на мировую цивилизацию.

Несмотря на то, что в наш сумасшедший век технологического прогресса и нанотехнологий современные дети практически не расстаются с компьютерами, а без интернета просто не мыслят своего существования, они по-прежнему продолжают верить в сказки и чудеса.

Se desconoce su verdadero autor. Tampoco puede ser datada con precisión, aunque existe consenso en que fue escrita entre los años 60 y 65 del siglo I. Como los otros libros del Nuevo Testamento, está escrita en griego. Su texto es de una gran densidad teológica y su estilo es solemne, casi litúrgico. El autor parece tener un dominio excepcional del Antiguo Testamento, que cita frecuentemente, acudiendo a la versión griega de la Biblia de los Setenta..

Thought to have been lost for over 2000 years, "The Book of Enoch" resurfaced in 1773 and sparked an ongoing debate among historians and theologians on whether this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. However, all recognise "The Book of Enoch" as one of the most essential apocalyptic works outside of the Bible. This 1917 translation by R. H. Charles is professionally narrated by Christopher Glyn, and it aims to provide those curious to know the contents of this cryptic and mysterious book with an enjoyable way to do so.

Joan of Arc is one of the most astounding heroins in French history. Her achievements leave anyone who knows her story shaking his head in amazed wonder. A small peasant girl born in Domrémy, she said she was visited by the Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret and Saint Catherine, who instructed her to support the King Charles VII to recover France from English domination. It was the end of the Hundred Years' war, and the French army was miserable, almost defeated, and hopeless; but the young maiden obeyed the voice that spoke to her and took arms, eventually leading a galvanized army to astounding victories. She was later caught by a coalition allied with the English; the ensuing story of her trial and eventual execution at the stake is one of the most distressing episodes of history, with lies and manipulation forcing a political agenda against all evidence.

Es de gran valor entre el pueblo judío, ya que narra la salvación de los judíos de un exterminio inminente preparado por Haman el amalecita. Dicha salvación se conmemora con la fiesta de Purim.

When the first convoys of the ANZAC Expeditionary Forces sailed from Albany’s majestic King George Sound in November and December 1914, they carried with them hundreds of horses. Many had been loaded in ports elsewhere in Australia and New Zealand. Some came from unexpected places, including Juna Downs, a vast pastoral station in Western Australia’s remote Pilbara region.

Es el compendio de las meditaciones de Salomón. Tras investigar la vida y ver que todo es vanidad, discurre que lo único importante en la vida es guardar la Palabra de Dios, por la cual seremos juzgados.

Мы многим обязаны веку Просвещения. Именно тогда сложилась ситуация сосуществования двух типов поэзии: высокая, серьезная, официальная, державная и ерничающая, непечатная, вовсю матерящаяся. Причем вторая издевательски пародировала первую, передразнивая ее патетический тон и в то же время перенасыщая стихотворный текст низкой, бранной лексикой.

The beautiful Sheherazade, threatened with death, manages to postpone the fatal day by telling one marvellous story every night. The stories themselves are folk tales, fairy tales and poems collected over many centuries, from ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Mesopotamian, Indian, and Egyptian folklore and literature. This makes The Arabian Nights a priceless treasure, as it takes us to the very roots of our culture in a delightful and passionate way...

Nu se poate sa nu te întrebi, din cînd în cînd, cum se face ca cei virtuosi au necazuri, în vreme ce pacatosii o duc bine. si, în definitiv, cum se împaca portretul unui Dumnezeu bun, iubitor, milostiv, cu existenta ubicua a raului în lume. Acestea sunt întrebarile Cartii lui Iov. Ea nu vine cu raspunsuri ultime. Dar îsi arata ca, punîndu-si asemenea întrebari, esti într-o buna si veche companie. Si ca, pîna sa ai un raspuns, te poti bucura de o capodopera a poeziei vechi-testamentare.

El Libro de Ezequiel es el tercero de los profetas mayores en el Tanaj y uno de los principales libros proféticos del Antiguo Testamento, después de Isaías y Jeremías. De acuerdo con el propio libro, registra siete visiones del profeta Ezequiel, exiliado en Babilonia, durante 22 años (593–571 a. C.), a pesar de que es el producto de una historia larga y compleja y no preserva necesariamente las palabras mismas del profeta. Las visiones y el libro se estructuran en torno a tres temas: Juicio a Israel (capítulos 1-24), Juicio a las naciones (capítulos 25-32).

Это одна из арабских сказок из сборника "Тысяча и одна ночь". Историю возникновения, которого так описывает старинная арабская легенда. Когда-то жил-был злой и жестокий царь Шахрияр. Он каждый день брал себе новую жену, а наутро убивал ее. Скоро во всем городе осталась лишь одна девушка - Шахразада.

La Epístola a los colosenses es, en su mayor parte, polémica, diseñada para refutar ciertas doctrinas teosóficas que habían entrado en la iglesia de Colosas. En cuanto a los efesios, no parecen basarse en algún asunto en particular, es simplemente una carta escrita por causa del amor del apóstol Pablo a sus seguidores en ese lugar, e indica su deseo de que ellos pudieran entender todas sus órdenes así como su comprensión personal del evangelio.
