English | ISBN: 0786476745 | 2013 | 200 pages | EPUB | 656 KB
In 1848, an 18-year-old boy assumed the throne of Austria, one of the most powerful countries in Europe. He would be its last significant emperor, the only monarch to serve two countries, and the last cogent head of the prestigious Habsburg dynasty. Emperor Franz Joseph’s reign was marked by revolutions, often fueled by rising liberalism and nationalism, and wars orchestrated by conquering architects such as Napoleon, Metternich, and Bismarck. This book gives attention to these political and cultural events, but it is moreover a biography of Emperor Franz Joseph and his enigmatic wife, Empress Elisabeth.

Such is the case of the legendary Austro-Hungarian novelist and essayist, Joseph Roth, who was born in Ukraine in 1894 and died tragically in Paris in 1939.

Free Download Peter Marsh, "Joseph Chamberlain: Entrepreneur in Politics"
English | ISBN: 0300058012 | | 744 pages | PDF | 78 MB
Joseph Chamberlain (1836-1914) was the first industrialist to reach the highest sphere of British politics. Notably successful as a young man in Birmingham’s metal-manufacturing industry, he tackled politics as business―venture by venture, innovative in organization as well as product, alert to the importance of accounting and marketing. Aggressive and direct in both personality and principle, he was loyal to enterprise rather than to party. He never became prime minister, yet by the beginning of the twentieth century he was by general consent "the first minister of the British Empire."

Free Download Uta Barbara Fink, "Joseph und Aseneth: Revision des griechischen Textes und Edition der zweiten lateinischen Übersetzung"
Deutsch, Ancient Greek | 2008 | pages: 367 | ISBN: 3110201402 | PDF | 20,0 mb
This book presents the first refined stemma of the transmission of the Greek text with a resultant revision of it, together with a detailed commentary section. Newly deciphered passages of text from the Greek Palimpsest M (11th cent.), one of the oldest extant Greek manuscripts, are edited and incorporated in the revision. A comprehensive chapter is devoted to demonstrating the secondarity of the "short text" edited by Philonenko, which turns out to be the product of medieval copyists. The second part of the book undertakes an edition of an important document from the Middle Ages, the second Latin translation, and examines it from the perspectives of palaeography, philology and Church history.

Free Download Gabriel Fischer Hornung, "Esther against Joseph’s Backdrop: The Theology and History of an Intertextual Relationship "
English | ISBN: 3111214133 | 2024 | 170 pages | PDF | 1094 KB
An examination of MT Esther’s relationship to the Joseph story, this study employs recent advances in author-oriented biblical intertextuality to address the debate concerning the religious purpose of the Scroll. While previous scholarship has seen Esther’s divine silence indicating God’s hidden hand, the characters’ or readers’ quiet faiths, or the secular concerns of an ancient Jewish nationalism, key aspects of Esther’s allusive character illustrate how the book purposefully constructs a theology of divine absence. As good-looking Israelites continue to rise in foreign courts to deliver themselves and their people from imminent dangers, the patterns God initiated in the Egyptian past are shown to extend into the Persian present even when the divine remains out of sight. Since this diachronically-oriented analysis suggests this theological interest was developed by Esther’s authors, it engages with Esther’s ancient Greek witnesses to demonstrate that the MT redactors altered an earlier version of the Scroll to position the Hebrew Megillah alongside Joseph’s instructive backdrop. By attending to these historical and interpretive issues, this work thus speaks to both Scroll scholarship and the study of inner-biblical allusions.

Free Download Natasha Rulyova, "Joseph Brodsky and Collaborative Self-Translation"
English | ISBN: 1501363921 | 2020 | 216 pages | PDF | 7 MB
Joseph Brodsky and Collaborative Self-Translation is the first in-depth archival study to scrutinize the Russian-American poet Joseph Brodsky’s self-translation practices during the period of his exile to the USA in 1972-1996. The book draws on a large amount of previously unpublished archival material, including the poet’s manuscripts in Russian and English, draft translations, notes, comments in the margins and correspondence with his translators, editors and friends. Rulyova’s approach to the study of self-translation is informed by ‘social turn’ in translation studies. She focuses on the process of text production, the agents and institutions involved, translation practices and the role played by translators and ✅Publishers in the production of the text.
