Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, as a Jewish Publication Society Book, 2014, xx, 163pp., . Ruth Calderon has recently electrified the Jewish world with her teachings of talmudic texts. In this volume, her first to appear in English, she offers a fascinating window into some of the liveliest and most colorful stories in the Talmud. Calderon rewrites talmudic tales as richly imagined fictions, drawing us into the lives of such characters as the woman who risks her life for a sister suspected of adultery; a humble schoolteacher who rescues his village from drought; and a wife who dresses as a prostitute to seduce her pious husband in their garden. Breathing new life into an ancient text, A Bride for One Night offers a surprising and provocative read, both for anyone already intimate with the Talmud or for anyone interested in one of the most influential works of Jewish literature. - CONTENTS: The imaginative map -- The fishpond -- Sisters -- The other side -- Beloved rabbi -- Libertina -- Return -- A bride for one night -- Nazir -- Lamp -- The matron -- The goblet -- The knife -- He and his son -- Sorrow in the cave -- Elisha -- The Beruria incident -- Yishmael, my son, bless me.

paperback. Etat : Very Good. DETAILS: small thick PAPERBACK, cover price $20.00, fresh copy, appears unused, but curved very slightly backwards, very good. HOUGH, STEPHEN. Rough ideas: reflections on music and more. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2020, stated First American edition, and 1st printing number line starting with 1, xv, 443pp., . Stephen Hough is indisputably one of the world's leading pianists, winning global acclaim and numerous awards, both for his concerts and recordings. He is also a writer, composer and painter. As an international performer he spends much of his life at airports, on planes, and in hotel rooms and this book expands notes he has made, in his words, 'during that dead time on the road'. He writes about music and the life of a musician, from exploring the broader aspects of what it is to walk out on to a stage or to make a recording, to specialist tips from deep inside the practice room: how to trill, how to pedal, how to practise. He also writes vividly about people he's known, places he's travelled to, books he's read, paintings he's seen; and touches on more controversial subjects, such as assisted suicide and abortion. Even religion is there, the possibility of the existence of God, problems with some biblical texts and the challenge involved in being a gay Catholic. An illuminating and absorbing introduction into the life and mind of one of our great cultural figures. ISBN 9781250785732.…
