Barbara Pym is a master at capturing the subtle mayhem that takes place in the apparent quiet of the English countryside. "Some Tame Gazelle", first published in Britain nearly 50 years ago, was the first of Pym's nine novels, all being reprinted by Mayer Bell. In the fictional village of "Some Tame Gazelle", spinsters, clerics, and eccentrics are the order of the day. Fifty-something sisters Harriet and Belinda Bede live a comfortable, settled existence. Belinda, the quieter of the pair, has for years been secretly in love with the town's pompous (and married) archdeacon, whose odd sermons leave members of his flock in muddled confusion. Harriet, meanwhile, a bubbly extrovert, fends off proposal after proposal of marriage. The arrival of Mr Mold and Bishop Grote disturb the peace of the village and leave the sisters wondering if they'll ever return to the order of their daily routines..

Fowzi, who beats everyone at dominoes; Ibtisam, who wanted to be a doctor; Abu Mahmoud, who knows every eggplant and peach in his West Bank garden; mysterious Uncle Mohammed, who moved to the mountain; a girl in a red sweater dangling a book bag; children in velvet dresses who haunt the candy bowl at the party; Baba Kamalyari, age 71; Mr. Dajani and his swans; Sitti Khadra, who never lost her peace inside.

One of five children of Czech immigrants, George Jelinek was educated at Scotch College in Perth, before studying medicine at the University of Western Australia. While at school, his mother developed multiple sclerosis, and by the time he had qualified in medicine she was wheelchair bound. A few years later she took her own life, such was her suffering. George Jelinek specialised in Emergency Medicine, winning the prize in the first specialist examinations in that field in Australasia in 1986. A stellar career followed: President of the Australasian Society for Emergency Medicine, Editor of Emergency Medicine, and then, in 1996, inaugural Professor in Emergency Medicine in Australasia. But at the age of 45, two years into that job, he too was diagnosed with MS. Professor Jelinek accepted the disease as a challenge, searching the medical literature and modifying his own life according to the findings: support for new, disease-modifying drugs, and sound evidence that dietary modifications and sunlight may help in controlling MS. More than a medical challenge, the disease has also led Professor Jelinek to re-assess his life, relationships and spirituality. The insights he gained, together with the dietary and lifestyle changes he prescribes, will be of benefit to thousands of people with MS and many other chronic conditions..

Carousing with Gazelles presents accurate and unbowdlerized translations of some of Abu Nuwas’s most celebrated poems—which have mostly remained untranslated into English due to the pressures of pious Puritanism and homophobia. In fact, Abu Nuwas remains largely untranslated into ANY European language, for the same reason: he is, by European standards, shocking. More than that, there are many who consider him the greatest poet who ever wrote in Arabic..

From the tenth century to the thirteenth, the Jews of Spain belonged to a vibrant and relatively tolerant Arabic-speaking society, a sophisticated culture that had a marked effect on Jewish life, thought, artistic tastes, and literary expression. In this companion volume to Wine, Women, and Death, we see how the surrounding Arabic culture influenced the new poetry that was being written for the synagogue service.
