George Orwell has been long a controversial figure for the left. In a series of ground-breaking books in the 1930s, he charted the vast pools of poverty and inequality in Britain, along with the daily experience of resistance and sometimes despair of working people, and warned of the growing dangers of fascism. Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier, and Homage to Catalonia, which recounts his experience of fighting fascism in Spain, along with his novels and journalism, established Orwell's reputation as an energetic chronicler and polemicist on the left. But his last two, and best-known, novels 1984 and Animal Farm, drew widespread criticism that Orwell was handing ammunition to the enemies of socialism. In this talk from the Socialist Workers Party rally at Skegness in April 1984, Paul Foot mounts a passionate defence of Orwell, making a case for seeing Orwell's writing in its political context and the thrust of 1984 and Animal Farm deriving from his frust...

Sugar Street is the final novel in Nobel Prize-winner Naguib Mahfouz's magnificent Cairo Trilogy, an epic family saga of colonial Egypt that is considered his masterwork. The novels of the Cairo Trilogy trace three generations of the family of tyrannical patriarch al-Sayyid Ahmad Abd al-Jawad, who rules his household with a strict hand while living a secret life of self-indulgence.

Das Buch der Schöpfung entstand im frühen Mittelalter und stellt die erste systematische Zusammenfassung kosmologischer Spekulationen auf der Basis einer ausgeprägten Buchstaben- und Zahlenmystik in hebräischer Sprache dar. Es beschreibt den Aufbau der Welt aus den "32 verborgenen Pfaden der Weisheit", die sich aus den 10 Sefirot, den Urzahlen oder Potenzen, und den 22 Buchstaben des hebräischen Alphabets zusammensetzen. Entsprechend der antiken Vorstellung vom Makro- und Mikrokosmos werden bestimmte Buchstabengruppen auf den Raum, auf die Zeit und auf die menschliche Welt bezogen. Die Betonung der Dimensionen des Raumes und der Zeit erinnert an neuzeitliche Theorien über die Entstehung des Kosmos, wobei für den Autor des Sefer Jezira zudem der ethische Aspekt des Schöpfungswerkes (Gut und Böse, Unschuld und Schuld) wichtig ist. Die theologische Mitte des Buches ist das Bekenntnis zur "Einheit in Vielheit"; die Vielgestaltigkeit des Universums hängt letztlich an dem...
