![]() This ruler sends an army to destroy the Ka’aba, and adds a war elephant to the mix. ![]() A Christian ruler from the south of Arabia has just built a cathedral and wants to destroy the religious competition of the Ka’aba. I realized the character of this book early on when it provides a tale from the pre-history of Muhammad. Review in short: This book is a reassuring resource for the pious, but has no other value. Instead, they served me a sausage and now I’m demanding to know “But how was this sausage made?!” ![]() Metaphorically, I walked into a restaurant for a culinary lesson. And hey, it’s affordable! So I bought the ebook early on to orient myself in an Islamic view of Muhammad and… After all, there’s more than Ibn Ishaq out there.Īny search for information around Muhammad’s biography will bring up results including Muhammad: His Life Based on the Early Sources, by Martin Lings. And while I would like to do both of those things, I’m also starting from a beginner’s place and partly just need an orientation into the early sources. If you want an English translation of Ibn Hisham’s The Life of the Prophet, you’ll have to open your wallets and pay… $76! Or pay the expense and time to become fluent in classical Arabic and get the Arabic edition for upwards of $25. Of course, that resource no longer exists in its original form, and what we have comes to us through Ibn Ishaq’s student, Ibn Hisham. In learning any biographical material about Muhammad, one will invariably hear mention of the first-known biography of Muhammad, The Life of the Prophet by Ibn Ishaq. ![]()

But before he leaves, Pilate gives him the order to carry out three routine crucifixions. At the beginning of the story, he is transferred to an undesirable military post in Jerusalem, where he stays for only a week before being summoned to Capri. The film is about a (fictional) Roman tribune named Marcellus, who lived during the time of Christ. It was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, but its real claim to fame is that it was the first film to be shot in widescreen (using CinemaScope technology). This past weekend, my husband and I watched a 1953 film called The Robe, directed by Henry Koster and starring Richard Burton, based on the novel by Lloyd C. ![]() Pecan Pie Baby by Jacqueline Woodson6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() They cuddle and hug, and then Gia suggests they go downstairs for pecan pie, because all three of them love it, even the ding-dang baby! This book is so touching and cute and funny, and has such wonderful illustrations, that you have to be grateful these two award-winning women collaborated on such a great project. Mama says, “You know what I’m going to miss the most when the baby comes, Gia?” And she tells Gia she will miss all their time together, just the two of them. Gia is building up a lot of resentment against the “ding-dang baby.” And when the whole family comes for Thanksgiving, Gia finally explodes, yelling out to everyone: “I’m so sick of that DING-DANG BABY!” Mama sends Gia to her room, and later comes to talk to her. Furthermore, she sees the baby as a threat to her close relationship with her single-parent mother. Gia lives with her single mom, who is very pregnant, and now everything in Gia’s world seems to revolve around the impending arrival of a new sibling.

Tolkien was not the first author to produce letters from Father Christmas for his children. ![]() In 2018, the Bodleian Libraries at Oxford will exhibit the letters, alongside other manuscripts, artwork, maps, letters and artefacts from Tolkien collections around the world. It would be written in his spidery hand (he would, after all, be a very old man) and illustrated with funny scenes from life in the North Pole. So inevitably, his family traditions were something rather special.Įvery year, from 1920 to 1942, the Tolkien children – first John, and later Michael, Christopher and Priscilla – would receive a letter from Father Christmas. Yet this was a man whose rich imagination brought to life an entire world with thousands of years of legendary history described different orders of creatures, wars and battles even invented languages. ![]() Tolkien dedicated considerable time and effort to making Christmas a joyful time for his young children.

Barred by his Roman Catholic religion from the normal apparatus of Government and private patronage, he took subscriptions for a large-scale project that filled his life for the next seven years and established his absolute pre-eminence among the poets of his time. ![]() In 1713, when he was only 25 years old, Alexander Pope assumed a momentous risk. On the translation of the Iliad, Garry Wills of The New York Times writes: In addition to his credentials as the third most quoted literary figure by The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, topped only by Shakespeare and Tennyson, and a celebrated poet and essayist, Pope is best known for his translations of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. Alexander Pope taught the world that to be inspired by greatness could earn you your own name in history. ![]() Hunger book roxane gay6/27/2023 ![]() In her phenomenally popular essays and long-running Tumblr blog, Roxane Gay has written with intimacy and sensitivity about food and body, using her own emotional and psychological struggles as a means of exploring our shared anxieties over pleasure, consumption, appearance, and health.
