الطريق إلى مكة by Muhammad Asad6/25/2023 ![]() The evidence is shrouded in trivia, false leads and tendentious claims, not to mention many lacunae which can sometimes be filled by reference to other types of the vast Islamic literature. In addition to an outline of the main events, they provide information about the people, the tribes, and the places involved. Naturally, these “Jewish chapters”, which include some fine examples of storytelling, are biased, but they remain indispensable for modern historians struggling to reconstruct Muḥammad’s troubled relations with the Jews. more Many if not most of the details concerning the Jews are found in several chapters of Muḥammad’s biography dedicated to his conflict with them, namely the chapters about Qaynuqāʿ, Naḍīr, Qurayẓa and Khaybar. ![]() Many if not most of the details concerning the Jews are found in several chapters of Muḥammad’s b. ![]()

Bill willingham books6/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Its success has demonstrated the resilience of fairytales themselves – I can imagine editorial meetings where they might have said “Can we really stretch Cinderella into a covert Modesty Blaize figure without the sexism? Or the Frog Prince, can he be a bit like Dostoyevsky’s Prince Myshkin? And that crazy badger, Brock – OK to make him a religious fanatic?” They stretched it and stretched it and it did not break. Then it shifted to political thriller, to comedy, to romance, to caper, to horror, to metafictional gallimaufry, to tragedy, to farce, to elegy, to slapstick. ![]() The first few issues were a gumshoe detective mystery, with Bigby Wolf, who used to be both big and bad, trying to solve the mystery of Rose Red’s death. The genius of Fables was to be as expansive as the fairytales themselves. Made glamorous by their magic, they create a safe haven for themselves in New York and an upstate hideaway for the Three Little Pigs, Chicken Little, Reynard the Fox and Tom Thumb (who’s dating Thumbelina, OMG) and all the other Fables who wouldn’t quite manage to pass themselves off as “mundanes” if you met them in Central Park. The huddled masses of familiar faces – Cinderella and Snow White, Little Boy Blue and Prince Charming, the Wicked Witch and Bluebeard – find sanctuary in our world. ![]() In Fables, there has been a coup d’état across the realms of the imagination, orchestrated by The Adversary. The idea was so brilliantly simple it was immediately complex. ![]()

Relentless edelman6/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Everyone's expectations, that is, except his own and those of his father, who took extreme and unorthodox measures to drive Edelman to quiet the doubters with ferocious competitiveness. Whether it was in Pop Warner football, where his Redwood City, California, team won a national championship in high school where he went from a 4'10", 95-pound freshman running back to quarterback for an undefeated Woodside High team or college, where he rewrote records at Kent State as a dual-threat quarterback, Edelman far exceeded everyone's expectations. ![]() ![]() It was also because he had been counted out in most of his life and career, and he had proved them all wrong. It wasn't only because of his belief in his teammates, led by the master of the comeback, his friend, and quarterback Tom Brady - or the coaching staff run by the legendary Bill Belichick. ![]() When the Patriots were down 28-3 in Super Bowl LI, there was at least one player who refused to believe they would lose: Julian Edelman. The Super Bowl champion wide receiver for the New England Patriots shares his inspiring story of an underdog kid who was always doubted to becoming one of the most reliable and inspiring players in the NFL. "It's a privilege for me to play with someone as special as Julian." (Tom Brady) "Julian is the epitome of competitiveness, toughness, and the great things that are possible when someone is determined to achieve their goals." (Bill Belichick) ![]()

Too hot to handle tessa bailey series6/23/2023 ![]() I hope you’ll hitch a ride with the Clarksons as they move across the map toward New York, falling in love, changing lives, and resolving their shared history-which has only begun to reveal itself-along the way. But sometimes all it takes is seeing their reflections, standing at our backs in that same mirror, to realize we’re worthy. It’s a common belief that we need to love ourselves before we can love another-and family can often bully, shove, and argue us into recognizing our true selves in the mirror, whether we like what we see or not. Too Hot to Handle is a love story between Jasper and Rita, but it’s also very much a love story among four siblings.
