"The Frontier Garrison" is the first English translation of "Az elõretolt helyõrség" by the Hungarian novelist Jenõ Rejtõ (1905-1943), originally published in 1939 under the pen name of "P. Howard." The translator, Balint Kacsoh (a university professor) also annotated the edition. The preface provides biographical data of Jenõ Rejtõ in historical and literary context. The genre is fiction; elements of action, adventure, mystery, and comedy are mixed in the story. It is suitable for young readers and adults. Synopsis: Action and adventure are mixed with a healthy dose of offbeat humor in this P. Howard classic, set in the second half of the 1930s. Harrincourt is dishonorably discharged from the French Naval Academy for a prank. He realizes that his carefree behavior put the livelihood of his widowed mother and teenage sister in jeopardy. To secure their financial future, he pays the premium on his life insurance policy and joins the French Foreign Legion destined to Africa, where his death "in the course of professional duty" would be all but guaranteed. While in basic training in Oran, he unwittingly becomes mixed up in murder and espionage and encounters the ghost of a murdered woman who has a penchant for singing. In short order, his unit is dispatched to a frontier garrison established to support French colonial expansion into equatorial Africa. Rival foreign powers, however, attempt to thwart the French plans and Harrincourt finds himself in the crossfire of international intrigue and falls in love with the beautiful woman whose haunting ghost follows the legionnaires as they march through the deadly Sahara. It is up to Harrincourt to save the day and uncover the secret of a mysterious watch, even if it might mean foregoing the death benefit his insurance policy would pay to his family.

Biblical Excavations Volume 2 First Fruits: A Thanksgiving Study First Fruits: A Thanksgiving Study excavates a simple instruction from Deuteronomy 26, illuminating the story within. Words studies, mini-research projects, and probing questions reveal parallels between the feasts of Passover and Thanksgiving. The story of the founders, the journey they made, the obstacles they had to overcome, and the vision that drove them were rooted in the Hebrew Biblical narratives of Exodus and Deuteronomy. In this mini First Fruits curriculum, we will take a deep dive into Deuteronomy 26:1-11 to excavate the story and see how it can enhance our modern-day Thanksgiving celebration. This short study includes four lessons that may be completed by a student within one week or within a small study group over the course of several weeks. It is also appropriate for families with a range of ages. Modeling the art of asking good questions, the discussion prompts provide opportunities for deep thought and examination of the text. All the activities are adaptable for groups and individuals. Additionally, the study of harvest times aligns the common calendar with the Biblical feasts and festivals within the Hebrew calendar. Although the focus is on the Thanksgiving holiday, the study content and focus is applicable year-round. My Book of Hebrew Letters The Hebrew alphabet is more than symbols to help one communicate with another. According to Proverbs 8:22 and 30, these letters formed the Heavenly Word of God known as Wisdom and became the architect of creation. My Book of Hebrew Letters includes a Hebrew Letters Coloring Book and Hebrew Letters Journal. There are twenty-two coloring book pages, one for each consonant in the Hebrew alphabet, and the letters have been simplified for young children. The coloring book may be used alone, or it may be used along with the YouTube video series The Hebrew Alphabet Show, produced by Biblical Excavations. Each episode introduces a new Hebrew letter with it character (how it is written), name and some memorable information – all presented at a child’s level and in a fun talk-show style format that even an adult may enjoy. The Hebrew Letters Journal contains twenty-two journaling pages, one for each letter in A Relationship with the Hebrew Alphabet video series. Each video introduces a new Hebrew letter with its character (how it is written), name, meaning, number, related words, a scripture, and sometimes a few extra notes. Students may want to watch the video twice, completing the worksheet while viewing the second time. They may need to pause and toggle back and forth to gather the needed information. Once completed, they will have a journal full of deep knowledge regarding Hebrew letters and their meanings. Please note that A Relationship with the Hebrew Alphabet was originally designed for the Your Sabbath Invitation Curriculum. Whether or not you have purchased the curriculum, the teachings from these resources are invaluable to help one master the Hebrew alphabet.

The Play of the Eyes is the third volume in Nobel Prize winning author Elias Canetti's trilogy of memoirs. Here, Canetti describes his young adult life as he tries to make it as a writer in Vienna during the 1930s, and provides vivid accounts of the remarkable figures he meets along the way, usually in cafes, from Robert Musil, Thomas Mann, and Herman Broch, among others. "Canetti uses a dramatist's gifts here to achieve emotional depth; his mother's death, sketched simply against the backdrop of a crumbling Europe, takes on a tragic dignity." - Publishers Weekly

The papers in this book have been collected in celebration of Carl Wellman, who, after forty-five years, is retiring from teaching. Here I would like to highlight a few of the moments which have shaped Carl as a person and a philosopher. Although his childhood was not unhappy, Carl faced considerable challenges growing up in Manchester, New Hampshire. He ne ver knew his father; he and his mother, Carolyn, had little money; and he fought a long battle with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, an illness which made hirn more familiar with hospitals than any young person should be. (His mother once told me that there were times when the doctors put Carl in his own hospital room because, while he was too young to be housed with adult men, they did not want the other children to see hirn die. ) Following a year of physician-prescribed rest after high school, the doctors recommended the University of Arizona in the misguided hope that the desert climate might improve his health. In spite of the doctors' hopes, life in Tucson was not easy. The heat takes its toll on everyone, but the desert was especially oppressive for Carl since his unusually sensitive eyes were no match for the intense sun. Still, Carl enjoyed college.

Mark Hambourg was the eldest son of the pianist Michael Hambourg (a pupil of Anton Rubinstein), and was brother of the cellist Boris Hambourg and the violinist Jan Hambourg (with whom he played in chamber ensemble as the Hambourg Trio), and of the musical organiser Clement Hambourg (1900-1973). His father was principal of the Voronezh Conservatory, and later a professor at the Moscow Conservatory, so that Mark continued his studies with his father even when he attended that academy. The family moved to London in 1889, as refugees from the Tsarist regime. There, having been heard by Paderewski, Mark made a debut at the old Princes Hall in July 1890. This was a success, and there was another concert there, and a tour of the provinces. The family was too poor to turn down these opportunities, though they would gladly have protected the boy from public life. As a child he was billed as Max Hambourg. He was invited into the circle of the painter Felix Moscheles (son of the pianist Ignaz Moscheles), in London, where he often met Oscar Wilde, Bernard Shaw, Ellen Terry and others. It was in this period that he became tired of elderly ladies wanting to kiss him, and permitted them to do so only in exchange for a large box of chocolates. In 1890 Shaw, hearing him play, felt that the Lyric Theatre was merely exploiting children, but late in 1891 he was admiring his performance of Bach at the Steinway Hall and wrote that, with suitable training, "this Russian lad might astonish the world some day." Sponsored largely by Paderewski, Hambourg was sent to study under Theodor Leschetitzky in Vienna for three years, arriving there in autumn 1891. There he won the Liszt Scholarship of 500 marks, and made a large number of friends among the artistic circles of Vienna. He made his first appearance as an adult pianist in early 1895, playing Chopin's Concerto No. 1 in E minor under the baton of Hans Richter, with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Then, while still a student with Leschetizky, he stood in at short notice (on his master's recommendation) to play Liszt's Hungarian Fantasia under Felix Weingartner, in place of Sophie Menter, who was indisposed. The audience, at first disappointed, was completely won over, and at the banquet which followed, Brahms himself proposed the toast to the young pianist. In London in 1895 Henry Wood conducted a concert at St James's Hall in which Hambourg played three piano concerti. According to Wood, his appearance and technique were compared to that of Anton Rubinstein, and Ferruccio Busoni later told Wood that Hambourg's was then the greatest talent of the time. In 1895 Hambourg began his first world tour (aged 16), beginning in Australia, where in (Sydney) he was asked to prolong his stay by six weeks. Returning to London, he deputized for Paderewski at a Philharmonic Society concert playing Anton Rubinstein's Piano Concerto No. 4 in D minor. He first appeared in Paris in 1896, and after that in Brussels and Berlin. He went to the United States in the latter part of 1898, making his New York debut under William Gericke with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and going on to tour the US. He then returned to London, and in 1901 made his first appearances at the Queen's Hall Proms under Henry Wood. Over the next four years he made another American tour and made visits to Poland, Russia and Germany. (He had met Lenin through Felix Moscheles in London in 1900). In 1906 he made a month-long concert visit to South Africa, taking his own piano by precarious means across the Veldt to one remote location. He first toured in Canada in 1909 and later became friends with the Canadian pianist Harold Bradley.

Excerpt from Linear Drawing: Showing the Application of Practical Geometry This work is intended firstly as a text-book for teachers in Schools of Art and Science, Training Colleges, National and other schools, and secondly as a manual for self-instruction for artisans and the public generally. It is impossible to over estimate the importance of a knowledge of Geometry, forming as it does the basis of all the mechanical and decorative arts; and therefore the first volume of a Technical Series has been devoted to this subject, from which, as from one common highway, branches may diverge, adapted to the various industrial arts. In order to fit the course of instruction, not only to the young, but to adults whose elementary education may be deficient, the author has deemed it best to assume, in the first instance, utter ignorance on the part of the pupils. Thus it will be seer, that in Problem I, no geometrical terms, such as "describe an arc," &c., are used, the learner being merely told to place the steel point of his compass on a given spot, whilst tracing part of a circle with the pencil leg.

They Fought For Their Lives - And For A New Jewish Future Critical comment: Explains the dream, the drive and the reality which brought a small nation through perilous times. A fine book and a delight to read. Cleveland Press Permits the reader the privilege, the sometimes painful privilege, of looking directly into the soul of the ordinary Israeli. With keen insight, restraint, power and passionate commitment, Ted Berkman has dug into the heart of Israel's Six Day War. As objectively written as it is possible to write, well worth reading and owning. Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle Brings us not only personal witness (of the war) but an introduction to the men and women of this new country . . . a people who will not see the repetition of violence and persecution against itself. Los Angeles Times Fascinating; a marvelous book for young people, and refreshing for adults as well. (Norfolk) Virginian Pilot Grips the reader's attention like a first-rate suspense novel. Wichita Falls (Tex.) Times Vivid, graphic; swift magnetic style that is eminently readable. Rabbi Louis Newman Sabra is not only the most vivid book on the Six-Day War . . . but a most vivid portrait of all Israel. Ted Berkman makes understandable a complex society, ultra-orthodox to atheistic, communal to capitalist, primitive to sophisticated, fused into unity. Not of least importance is the sense of abhorrence of war that is purveyed in all these warriors. Meyer Levin A clear, complete and gripping account of a brief but complex war. The reader is sitting in an Israeli pilot seat as the Egyptian air force gets smashed on the ground; riding a spearhead tank through the smoking Mitla Pass; storming Jordanian trenches and breaching Jerusalem's walls. New York Times, Sunday Book Section Deeply moving, magnificent, Detroit Jewish News An affecting, sometimes too painful look at a people whom love of country has made larger than life. Berkman has a flair for the fast, vivid vignette. Publisher's Weekly Straightforward, clearly and pointedly written, the book is, like the native-born Israeli sabra, unsentimental. Providence (Rhode Island) Journal Easily the best story in a long time. Fast moving action, vivid word pictures, reading one cannot lay down till the end. A significant book, to be read twice and shared with others. New England Farmer

When Flora Elhayani is twelve years old, God appears to her through the television and suddenly, after being mute for two months, she can speak again. Flora changes her name to Ori, and acquires a new, fantastical vantage point of her life in the desert town of Netivot. Trying to decipher what the revelation holds for her, Ori comes across a rare series of young adult novels about a strange wonderland whose heroine plays special part in Ori's own coming of age. Twenty years later, we meet Ori again. She now lives in Tel Aviv, where she is married to a successful man and the mother of a little girl. She has become a writer for young adults, focusing her work on various Wonderland themes. Life is good until a second revelation, very different from the first, rattles the very foundations of her life and puts all in doubt. Sunburnt Faces examines the nature of revelation in a world in which the fantastical takes place only in situations of error and misunderstanding. But will the social and political nature of this world allow Ori to find the certainty without which she cannot live?

In eleven original, surprising and deliciously dark stories, Victoria Redel moves effortlessly between men's and women's perspectives in stories that explore marriage, divorce and parenthood. A newly divorced mother stumbles her way back into single life. A young man and his girlfriend clean out his dead mother's overstuffed home. A woman struggles to hide her affair from a doting husband and inquisitive daughter. A man descends into a drug-fueled dream as he imagines losing his pregnant wife to a historical, nineteenth century figure. Redel indelibly captures the ways we love, the ways we yearn and the ways we sabotage each. Throughout the collection, children struggle to make sense of the adult world's uncertainties as husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, find themselves pressed up against their own limits, "the exaltations and treasons of one's own mothy heart." Redel has again done what Grace Paley said of Redel's first collection, "Only a poet could have written this prose. Only a storyteller could keep a reader turning these pages so greedily."
