أصل هذه القصة أحدوثة، وما أصغرها من أحدوثة، جرت على الألسنة في إيطاليا وتداولتها نقلاً عنها سائر الأمم محصلها أن فتاة ذات مال وافر وجمال باهر وعقل كالكوكب الزاهر كان قد مات عنها أبواها فخطبها إلى نفسها ملك مراكش وأمير أراغون في جملة النبهاء ممن خطبها ولكنها وجدت الميل إلى شاب رقيق الحال من مسقط رأسها ومن بني جنسها استدان المال الذي أنفقه في الزلفى إليها بضمان صديق له فقير مثله رهن لليهودي الذي أقرض ذلك المال رطلاً من لحم صدره فاستخارت الفتاة الله في مستقبلها وناطت أمرها بثلاثة صناديق ذهبي وفضي ورصاصي جعلت في الأول منها جمجمة ميت وفي الثاني رأس هُزأة أبله وفي الثالث رسمها فمن اختار من الخطّاب الصندوق الذي فيه رسمها أصبحت له حليلة.وقد جاء في هذه الحكاية ما يجيء عادة في كل حكاية من أمثالها أن حبيب الفتاة هو الذي ألهم الصواب ففرحت به واحتالت لإنقاذ صديقه من تبعة ضمانه لليهودي بأن تزيّت بزيّ عالم قانوني وقضت على المرابي.طالع شكسبير هذه الأسطورة من أساطير السذّج في تلك الأيام فما أجالها إجالة في ذهنه المبتكر حتى بدأ بها فصورها جملة في أحسن ما تتصور حادثة إنسانية شعرية معطياً إياها من الجدّة والندورة ما صيّرها من خرافة عامّية تقصها العجائز على أحفادها وحفائدها إلى رواية تمثيلية من أسمى الروائع التي جادت بها قرائح المبدعين في هذا الفن.

تتألف مسرحية هامْلِت- أو هامْلِت أمير الدانمارك، بحسب اسمها الأصلي الكامل- للكاتب وليام شكسبيـر، من أربعة فصول في هذه الترجمة التي أنجزها الشاعر والكاتب والمترجم الراحل خليـل مطران. ويـُرجِّـح الباحثون عموماً أن هذه الرواية كُتبت بين العـامين 1599 و1601. تبدأ رواية هامْلِت المسرحية بمشهد هامْلِت وهو يرثي والده القتيل ويعبر عن الأسى والأسف على سلوك والدته جرترود التي لم تنتظر كثيراً بعد مقتل والده لتتزوّج من عمّه كلوديوس الذي حرم هامْلِت من حقه في الملك ليصبح هو ملكاً على الدانمارك.يَظْهَر لهامْلِت طيفُ والده ويخبره أنه مات مسموماً على يد كلوديوس، ثمّ يأمر هامْلِت بالانتقام له. لكن، وعلى الرغم من حثّ الطيف لهامْلِت على الإسراع بالانتقام، يُقرّر هامْلِت التروّي والتفكير مليّاً والبحث عن دليل يؤيّد مزاعم الطيف. وبعد الكثير من الأحداث يواجه هامْلِت والدته وعمّه لتنتهي المسرحية بمأساة جماعيّة يكون الموت هو المنتصر الوحيد فيها.وعن رواية هامْلِت يقول خليل مطران ... وقد شهد جمهور الأدباء وأرباب الفن في كل بلد من بلدان العالم، أن رواية هامْلِت هي الرائعة الأولى بين الروائع الكبرى التي ولدتها قريحة شكسبير، ولهذا مُثِّلَتْ في كل مسارح الأمم من غربية وشرقية على توالي ما تناقلتها وتدارستها الأمم، وتكرر تمثيلها في كل حواضرها، وقد ساهمت مصر بحظ في الاستمتاع بمشاهدة تلك الرائعة الباهرة، فتداولتها مسارحها منذ أعوام، وما زالت في كل عام تزداد أخذاً بألباب الجمهور، كما أن الجمهور يزداد إعجاباً بمحاسنها، وإكباراً لآيات الفصاحة والبلاغة فيها.

A sabedoria estoica presente nos diálogos de Sêneca possuem tanta relevância atualmente quanto tiveram há séculos. Em Sobre a Tranquilidade da Alma, o filósofo traz a necessidade do aperfeiçoamento moral por meio de um estado ideal de serenidade. Já em Sobre a Vida Feliz, dedicado ao seu irmão mais velho, Gálio, oferece uma perspectiva profunda sobre o que é felicidade e como buscá-la.

In the annals of modern political history, few ideologies have provoked as much contention and impassioned debate as Zionism. This volume, "Zionism Unveiled: The Contested Epoch of a Political Ideology," endeavors to explore this complex and often polarizing subject through a lens that is frequently overshadowed in mainstream discourse: the perspective of those who stand on the other side of the Israeli-Palestinian divide, particularly from the viewpoint of a Muslim Palestinian.The impetus for this book is not rooted in a desire to inflame or incite, but rather to illuminate and examine. Zionism, as a political movement, has indelibly shaped the landscape of the Middle East and has left an undeniable imprint on global politics. Its impact, however, is a narrative of contrasting tales - a saga of national self-determination and triumph for some, and a chronicle of dispossession and enduring conflict for others.This work seeks to delve into the multifaceted dimensions of Zionism, tracing its origins, its evolution, and its far-reaching implications. It does so while consciously striving to present a narrative that resonates with the experiences and perspectives of the Palestinian people. This narrative is not monolithic; it is woven from the diverse threads of history, culture, and individual experiences that define the Palestinian identity. It is a narrative marked by resilience and resistance, by suffering and hope, and by an unyielding quest for justice and self-determination.In these pages, readers will find a thorough exploration of the ideological underpinnings of Zionism, its theological and cultural dimensions, and its strategic implementations. The chapters unfold the historical context, dissecting key events and decisions that have shaped the current landscape. They also delve into the human aspect, reflecting on the lived experiences of those who have borne the brunt of this ideology's real-world implications.This book does not claim to offer a definitive or exhaustive account of Zionism from the Palestinian perspective. Instead, it aims to contribute to a broader understanding, to challenge prevailing narratives, and to encourage a more nuanced and empathetic engagement with one of the most contentious issues of our time.Through this endeavor, "Zionism Unveiled" aspires to foster a dialogue grounded in respect, knowledge, and a shared commitment to uncovering truths. It is an invitation to look beyond entrenched positions and to engage with a narrative that has often been marginalized, yet is integral to understanding the complexities of Zionism and its role in shaping the modern Middle East.

Sêneca usou toda a liberdade do diálogo para explorar seus princípios estoicos. Este volume reúne três de seus escritos de valor imensurável: Da Providência é um pequeno ensaio escrito durante os últimos anos da vida do filósofo, no qual Sêneca coloca um ponto de vista singular a respeito das adversidades e da capacidade do homem (o sábio) em exercer suas virtudes. Sobre a Clemência trata da sabedoria do governante em exercer o seu poder com moderação, enquanto Sobre o Ócio aborda o uso racional do tempo.

Iván no es un personaje de ficción. En esta novela, el autor rememora los ruidos, estampas y desvaríos de su vecino y amigo de juventud de facetas sorprendentes: encantador, talentoso, ingenioso, fascinante, a la vez que irreverente, impulsivo, insensible, ruin, presumido, impredecible, temerario, detestable, en el marco de la dinámica barrial de los cincuenta y sesenta, en donde descolló aquella figura atractiva a cualquier ojo, con sus designios, gestos y complejidades interiores, entre la extravagancia y la perversión. Al revelar tales episodios bastante escabrosos por cierto de la vida de Iván, el autor ha respondido -con adecuado lenguaje y ajustándose a la realidad- la solicitud de los amigos de toda la vida, ávidos por ver en papel el alocado discurrir por el mundo, desde sus primeras palomilladas barriales hasta las fechorías de alto voltaje que fue desarrollando ulteriormente cuando, desprendido ya del barrio y los amigos, ingresó a la vida descarriada, libertina, lujuriosa, cuando no francamente delincuencial en la que desplegó la trepidante combinación de su innato carisma y su inmenso desenfreno. Y todo ello, narrado sin apocamiento y sin esquivar pudores de sobremesa.
