1000 tulosta hakusanalla Nicholas Muskovac
Nicholas of Cusa (1401–1464), thinker, polymath, and cardinal, had a long-standing interest in Islam. To date, however, no work has satisfactorily dealt with his volatile attitude towards the Islamic faith and the Ottoman Turks. This book revisits Nicholas of Cusa’s attitude towards Islam, criticizing previous work that has overlooked Cusa’s involvement in preparations for a crusade, and the significance of Cusa’s polemical A Scrutiny of the Koran (Cribratio Alkorani) of 1461. The book also addresses the prevailing image of Cusa as a dove of peace and champion of interreligious dialogue, and suggests an alternative and more complex picture which takes account of Cusa’s crusading activities and his attitude towards Muslims and Jews. A significant new study, Nicolas of Cusa and Mohammed will appeal to students and scholars interested in the Renaissance, Humanism, church–state relations, the history of the crusades, and Nicholas of Cusa’s life and works. "Nathan Ron sets the record straight about Nicholas of Cusa as so-called pioneer of ‘inter-religious dialogue’ based on a close reading of the irenic Peace of Faith and the polemical Scrutiny of the Koran, together with his role in mounting a crusade for Pope Pius II." —Gerald Christianson, Professor Emeritus of Church History, United Lutheran Seminary, Gettysburg; Past President, American Cusanus Society "Nicholas of Cusa often is presented as a champion of interreligious dialogue. This book rightly brings to the fore Cusanus’ often harsh polemic against Islam and his role in Pius II’s crusade against the Turks." —Thomas Izbicki, Humanities librarian emeritus, Rutgers University

20 reasons to avoid Christmas: Nicholas Benjamin

You may not share Nicholas Benjamin's sense of humour. He doesn't mind that. He is not very witty after all, just mildy annoyed. However, you may share the dismay he feels towards all things Christmas. This book is the definitive double-decalogue of what you should avoid this Christmas, namely Christmas itself for twenty clear reasons. Whether Christian or atheist, sociable or recluse, Nicholas Benjamin has got you covered. He would not write any of this, were his wisdom not universally applicable. Just read and see... Yes, at times the author resorts to plain insult towards the entire population of the planet and mainly towards you, the reader. But this is only a literary device which serves a higher cause. The true argument put forth is that your happiness need not be sabotaged for a whole monthat the end of the calendar year, which is precisely what is happening every December. In other words "20 reasons to avoid Christmas" is a manual to reclaiming your individual freedoms. A political manifesto for the oppressed masses. The bible of a new political movement, hopefully. Perhaps the sacred scripture of a new religion. A fine message to life in space. Who knows? Nicholas Benjamin doesn't. He doesn't have a clue....
Nicholas Nickleby; or, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby is a novel by Charles Dickens. Originally published as a serial from 1838 to 1839, it was Dickens's third novel. The novel centers on the life and adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, a young man who must support his mother and sister after his father dies.

The style is considered to be episodic and humorous, though the second half of the novel becomes more serious and tightly plotted.

The first of Dickens' romances, Nicholas Nickleby is one of his most popular novels. The story follows young Nicholas who has become the head of the family after his father's death. Penniless and desperate, he turns to his uncle for help, but this only leads the family into even more of a mess.
Rare edition with unique illustrations and elegant classic cream paper. When Nicholas Nickleby is left penniless after his father's death, he appeals to his wealthy uncle to help him find work and to protect his mother and sister. But Ralph Nickleby proves both hard-hearted and unscrupulous, and Nicholas finds himself forced to make his own way in the world. His adventures gave Dickens the opportunity to portray an extraordinary gallery of rogues and eccentrics: Wackford Squeers, the tyrannical headmaster of Dotheboys Hall, a school for unwanted boys; the slow-witted orphan Smike, rescued by Nicholas; and the gloriously theatrical Mr and Mrs Crummles and their daughter, the 'infant phenonenon'. Like many of Dickens's novels, Nicholas Nickleby is characterised by his outrage at cruelty and social injustice, but it is also a flamboyantly exuberant work, revealing his comic genius at its most unerring.
