I combined my books "The Return of Jesus" and "Armies of the Heavens" under the same title. Jesus Christ is going to be among us again, for sure. There are inevitably some signs of this blessed person's coming. So what are these signs? What causes Jesus Christ to be sent again on earth? How do we recognize him? What will change in the world after he arrives? While answering these questions, I have addressed some other individuals related to Jesus Christ, and some signs of doom. Jesus (PBUH) was crucified?Since Muhammad (PBUH) is the last of the prophets, why will Jesus (PBUH) come?What are the signs of his coming?What will he do when he arrives?Who are end-time individuals and how do we know them?What is the role of the Jews in the End Times?Why did God allow the establishment of the state of Israel? When talking about Jesus Christ, the indispensable word is the great antichrist. I specifically discussed the great Antichrist.Who were the antichrists who came in the 20th century?Which states sided with the antichrist and which sided with Jesus Christ in the 20th century?How will the struggle between Prophet Jesus (PBUH) and the Antichrist be in this century?There are various comings of Jesus Christ (PBUH) in the end times. The most important of these is that he comes down from the sky himself. When you read this work, you will understand the truth and secret of the coming of Jesus. A Christian commander asks Fatih Sultan Mehmet Khan:"How do you come out victorious in every battle? Whatever we did, no matter what we tried, we couldn't beat you."Fatih Sultan Mehmet Khan answers: "Why are we not defeated? Because we also have an army in the sky!" Wars that changed the course of history... Scenes of destiny's plan in human history... Nations assigned by destiny for special missions...This work deals with two main issues. Divine help and destiny plan...Besides, I made some explanations about angels that will remove doubts and delusions. The Ottoman navy, comprising 122 galley-style ships, is against the allied forces with 608 galleons and galley-type navies. Which side wins according to the ordinary flow of life, the laws of nature or the laws of physics? Allied navy, of course. However, this legendary battle was won by the Ottoman navy under the command of Barbarossa Hayreddin Pasha. The side that the Almighty helps, not the strong side, wins wars and struggles... We cannot grasp these recondite secrets. However, the lived stories I have told can give us a familiarity with the secrets of the universe, like a drop in the ocean.

The aim of this study was to learn about the history of Octacílio Rodrigues da Silva, his parents and siblings who lived nearby. In 1919, the family settled in the present-day city of Giruá because they were building the railway, which would change the growth of the city and colonisation in the north-western region of Rio Grande do Sul. Since he was a policeman, he retired with the rank of colonel in the Military Brigade. This work involves his first brothers, inherited from his father. They are involved in various aspects of Brazilian and regional politics in the 1930s, the Prestes Column and the Second World War. It includes his studies and his private life after his retirement with philanthropic work. As a result, the story is both familiar and new from the point of view of the 97-year-old soldier.

This volume is the first in a new series of editions of Coptic-language "magical" manuscripts from Egypt, written on papyrus, ostraca, parchment, and paper, and dating to between the fourth and twelfth centuries CE. Their texts attest to non-institutional rituals intended to bring about changes in the lives of those who used them - heal disease, curse enemies, bring about love or hatred, or see into the future. These manuscripts represent rich sources of information on daily life and lived religion of Egypt in the last centuries of Roman rule and the first centuries after the Arab conquest, giving us glimpses of the hopes and fears of people of this time, their conflicts and problems, and their vision of the human and superhuman worlds. This volume presents 37 new editions and descriptions of manuscripts, focusing on formularies or "handbooks", those texts containing instructions for the performance of rituals. Each of these is accompanied by a history of its acquisition, a material description, and presented with facing text and translations, tracings of accompanying images, and explanatory notes to aid in understanding the text.

Gilgamesh, the King of Uruk, and his friend Enkidu are the only heroes from ancient Babylonian stories that have survived. They are the main characters in an old poem from around 3000 years ago. In the poem, they go on adventures together, like defeating a powerful bull and killing a scary monster. But when Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh is very sad and afraid of dying himself. This makes him go on a journey to find a way to live forever. "The Epic of Gilgamesh" is a story that teaches us about right and wrong, sad things, and exciting adventures. It's an important piece of literature that explores the idea of people wanting to live forever.

Popol Vuh is the ancient text of the Quiche Maya of Mexico and Guatemala well before the Spanish and Europeans landed on the shores of these lands. The story of creation had been passed down over unknown generations, being scribed possibly in 1554.

Though banned by the Spanish Conquest, copies were rediscovered in the nineteenth century.Popol Vuh follows the hero twins Hunahpu and Xbalanque in their struggle with the Lords of Death in the underworld. Through the Twin Hero's actions, people, animals and plants were allowed to inhabit the Earth.Popol Vuh, Stories for Children brings the complex and beautiful story to the young who seek answers to the beliefs before European history was taught in the Americas.

Chandigarh is a giant experiment in town planning and architecture in India and the world. Being one of the best cities planned and built afresh on virgin land, Chandigarh attracted the global community of architects, planners, and historians. Resultantly, copious works have been written on Chandigarh, and much literature exists on the subject."Making of Chandigarh: A Vintage History" is the latest addition to the number of books written by various authors on this subject. Of all the treatises published earlier, this book is unique in its approach, contents, and presentation. The book focuses on recording the process of making a city through 575 black-and-white photographs. Several photographers have clicked these photographs since the city's inception in 1950 till the 1990s. This book is a tribute to the numerous known and unknown photographers who recorded the history of Chandigarh through their photographs.It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and photographers are worth a million. Imagine, if we glance through hundreds of pictures clicked on a particular subject over a period of 40 years beginning in 1950, how easy it will be to grasp the historical aspect of that subject! With this aim, the "Making of Chandigarh: A Vintage History" has been conceived and presented as a pictorial journey of the city.Apart from the rich collection of vintage photos, the book includes more than 50 drawings of important city buildings and campuses. An elaborated essay, 'Making of Chandigarh', explains the whole story of the capital city and throws light on the essential campuses, complexes and buildings designed by master architects like Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Maxwell Fry, Jane Drew, and their Indian colleagues.

Tapping into the emergence of scholarly comedy studies since the 2000s, this collection brings new perspectives to bear on the Dostoevskian light side. Funny Dostoevksy demonstrates how and why Dostoevsky is one of the most humorous 19th-century authors, even as he plumbs the depths of the human psyche and the darkest facets of European modernity. The authors go beyond the more traditional categories of humor, such as satire, parody, and the carnivalesque, to apply unique lenses to their readings of Dostoevsky. These include cinematic slapstick and the body in Crime and Punishment, the affective turn and hilarious (and deadly) impatience in Demons, and ontological jokes in Notes from Underground and The Idiot. The authors - (coincidentally?) all women, including some of the most established scholars in the field alongside up-and-comers - address gender and the marginalization of comedy, culminating in a chapter on Dostoevsky's "funny and furious" women, and explore the intersections of gender and humor in literary and culture studies. Funny Dostoevksy applies some of the latest findings on humor and laughter to his writing, while comparative chapters bring Dostoevsky's humor into conjunction with other popular works, such as Chaplin's Modern Times and Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton. Written with a verve and wit that Dostoevsky would appreciate, this boldly original volume illuminates how humor and comedy in his works operate as vehicles of deconstruction, pleasure, play, and transcendence.

The actions of German armored forces during World War II are well known. What has not yet been recounted as accurately are the actions of the armored forces of Germany's Allies. While it is true that their performance was generally quite secondary to what the forces of the German Reich were able to afford, the actions of the Hungarian armored forces, which not only managed to organize their own armored forces in substantial autonomy, but also developed their own military industry capable of supplying weapons and equipment to their troops, should be emphasized. This book will thus reveal a little-known page of Hungary's participation in World War II through the use of superb photographs provided by the author and his contributors. This story will take the reader from the beginning of the USSR campaign and consequent conquest of large Soviet territories, and then end with the bloody battles to prevent the advance of the Soviet and Romanian counteroffensive in Hungary (the siege of Budapest) and the last battles in Austrian and Slovenian territory before the unconditional surrender of the army. The author highlights the courage of these men and the terrible fate that would befall the Hungarian armored forces when the Soviet army invaded Hungary.

Le azioni delle forze corazzate tedesche durante la Seconda guerra mondiale sono ben note. Ciò che non è ancora stato raccontato con altrettanta precisione sono le azioni delle forze corazzate degli alleati della Germania. Se è vero che le loro prestazioni sono state in genere del tutto secondarie rispetto a quelle che hanno potuto permettersi le forze del Reich tedesco, occorre sottolineare le azioni delle forze corazzate ungheresi, che non solo sono riuscite a organizzare in sostanziale autonomia le proprie forze corazzate, ma hanno anche sviluppato una propria industria militare in grado di fornire armi ed equipaggiamenti alle proprie truppe. Questo libro svelerà quindi una pagina poco conosciuta della partecipazione dell'Ungheria alla Seconda guerra mondiale attraverso l'uso di fotografie superbe fornite dall'autore e dai suoi collaboratori. Questa storia porterà il lettore dall'inizio della campagna dell'URSS e conseguente conquista di ampi territori sovietici, per poi terminare con le sanguinose battaglie per evitare l'avanzata della controffensiva sovietica e rumena in Ungheria (l'assedio di Budapest) e gli ultimi scontri in territorio austriaco e sloveno prima della resa incondizionata dell'esercito.

This book explores the postcolonial discourse and decolonization processes in modern Kazakhstan and beyond. It pays particular attention to such areas as national and religious identity, language, literature, and historical narratives. Despite the fact that the post-colonial theory initially emerged in other regions of the world, it has increasingly been applied in the scholarship on Central Asia. Exploring recent debates on post-coloniality in Kazakhstan, this book is an attempt to bring together two bodies of scholarly literature: scholarship on culture and society in post-Soviet Central Asia and research on post-colonial theory. This volume will be of interest to scholars of Eurasian studies as well as researchers and students of post-colonialism in various contexts beyond Eurasia.

- [...] Finalement, qu'ils soient partisans d'une méthode ou d'une autre, les socialistes sont internationalistes et ont pour objectif ultime la fusion des nations en une communauté socialiste mondiale qui elle-même évoluera vers une société communiste. Il s'agit donc de défragmenter le monde en blocs toujours moins nombreux et toujours plus vastes, jusqu'à ce qu'il ne reste plus qu'un seul bloc; la communauté de destin pour l'humanité. L'Union européenne est l'un de ces blocs. Elle a été créée pour cette raison, pour défragmenter l'Europe. - Je ne sais quoi répondre à vos théories. Il semblerait que l'Occident ait adhéré au modèle de l'État multinational.

This collection sheds light on different aspects of the history of the Kurds in Syria during the Ottoman period.

From 1770s the Vienna bread market was rocked by a series of politico-economic and technological changes that questioned the way this everyday foodstuff was sold and produced. In this book, Jonas Albrecht explores how this reconfiguration of the bread market had wide-reaching and significant consequences for a society who relied on this foodstuff to live. Before 1860 the production and selling of bread was embedded into a moral economy with distinct regulations. But as the grain market expanded and new cereal varieties arrived from the empire's peripheries reformers sought to create a 'free' market through liberalising reforms. The Moral and Market Economies of Bread shows that while terminating market regulation did mobilise and diversify Vienna's bread market in spatial terms, it intensified inequality among consumers. As opaque prices, non-transparent market procedures and diverging power relations between producers and consumers led to unrest, city officials and bakers struggled to meet the shortcomings of the free market from within. This book brings economic, social and urban histories together and employs a spatial approach and GIS methods to explore the relationship between market and society, and capitalism at large.

This transdisciplinary edited volume explores the concept of queenship in antiquity and the present. Featuring the work of scholars, educators and artists, this book gathers temporally and geographically distant ideas about queenship into a single discursive space. Invigorating the conversation around powerful historical women and their legacies, the contributors discuss 'queenship' as a concept with contemporary urgency, conducive to critical and creative interventions that address the gaps within archives and current cultural and socio-political representation. Although traditional narratives present queens of the ancient Mediterranean world as the wives, daughters, and mothers of kings - emphasizing formidable, stand-out examples such as Semiramis and Cleopatra - the ways in which royal women wielded power, whether directly or indirectly, were actually multivariate, highly nuanced and culturally specific. Current scholarship featured in this volume is concerned with teasing out modern, western assumptions that have heavily colored interpretations of gender and power in antiquity. This volume attempts to dismantle the problematic historical narratives and constructions of queenship by presenting different kinds of receptions and speculative articulations of historical queenship, thus forging new paths forward.

This book approaches the relationship of modern Hungarian culture to classical heritage from the various viewpoints of identity politics, education, translation history, scholarship, and its impact on literature. Péter Hajdu examines the cultivation of the classics as an intellectual framework and crucial ingredient of the western aspect of Hungarian national identity. When the Hungarian nation building project developed ideas of national identity, it necessarily incorporated the historical narrative according to which the Hungarians arrived at their current homeland in the Middle Ages, and only later did it adopt European culture. The duplicity of a mostly imagined Asian, pagan, barbaric or nomadic and a Western, Christian, civilized identity, deeply rooted in European culture, has played and continues to play a role in the Hungarian discourse. Hajdu also studies the gradual disappearance of classics from the Hungarian school education since the 19th century, which has been accompanied by fervid political debates. However, over this period, translations of classical texts paradoxically became more frequent and popular with the decline of a classical education, even though fewer readers had access to the original texts. Despite this change, the translation strategies tended to remain school-bound. The knowledge of classical literature still leaves traces on Hungarian literature, which Hajdu explores using examples from 19th-century novels and contemporary poetry. This book sheds light on a topic of classical reception that has remained largely unexplored in this part of Europe, but one which has an incredibly rich history, culture, and literary tradition.
