Paul Muldoon and the Language of Poetry

By: Ruben Moi

Paul Muldoon and the Language of Poetry is the first book in years that attends to the entire oeuvre of the Irish-American poet, critic, lyricist, dramatist and Princeton professor from his debut with New Weather in 1973 up to his very recent publications. Ruben Moi’s book explores, in correspondence with language philosophy and critical debate, how Muldoon’s ingenious language and inventive form give shape and significance to his poetry, and how his linguistic panache and technical verve keep language forever surprising, new and alive.

Children of Lucifer

The Origins of Modern Religious Satanism

By: Ruben van Luijk

If we are to believe sensationalist media coverage, Satanism is, at its most benign, the purview of people who dress in black, adorn themselves with skull and pentagram paraphernalia, and listen to heavy metal. At its most sinister, its adherents are worshippers of evil incarnate and engage in violent and perverse secret rituals, the details of which mainstream society imagines with a fascination verging on the obscene. Children of Lucifer debunks these facile characterizations by exploring the historical origins of modern Satanism. Ruben van Luijk traces the movement's development from a concept invented by a Christian church eager to demonize its internal and external competitors to a positive (anti-)religious identity embraced by various groups in the modern West. Van Luijk offers a comprehensive intellectual history of this long and unpredictable trajectory. This story involves Romantic poets, radical anarchists, eccentric esotericists, Decadent writers, and schismatic exorcists, among others, and culminates in the establishment of the Church of Satan by carnival entertainer Anton Szandor LaVey. Yet it is more than a collection of colorful characters and unlikely historical episodes. The emergence of new attitudes toward Satan proves to be intimately linked to the ideological struggle for emancipation that transformed the West and is epitomized by the American and French Revolutions. It is also closely connected to secularization, that other exceptional historical process which saw Western culture spontaneously renounce its traditional gods and enter into a self-imposed state of religious indecision. Children of Lucifer makes the case that the emergence of Satanism presents a shadow history of the evolution of modern civilization as we know it. Offering the most comprehensive account of this history yet written, van Luijk proves that, in the case of Satanism, the facts are much more interesting than the fiction.

Sparks of Reason

Vernacular Rationalism in the Low Countries, 1550-1670

By: Ruben Buys

Throughout the late Middle Ages and the early modern period, the Low Countries were home to a vibrant tradition of lay philosophy in Dutch. 'Sparks of reason' takes a detailed look at this philosophical tradition, with a special focus on the sixteenth century. During this turbulent century, several authors, such as Dirck Volkertsz Coornhert (1522-1590) and Hendrik Laurensz Spiegel (1549-1612), developed an ethics which was founded on rationality and self-motivation. This 'vernacular rationalism' was a dynamic melting pot of classical philosophy, vernacular humanism, intellectual spiritualism and popular piety. As this book shows, vernacular rationalism was rooted in an age-old Netherlandish tradition and was to be-come one of the breeding grounds for the early Enlightenment in the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. Its point of departure was the inherent goodness of humankind and the possibility of moral growth through rational knowledge. Its goal was perfect happiness.

Selected Writings

By: Ruben Dario

Born in Nicaragua, Rubén Darío is known as the consummate leader of the Modernista movement, an esthetic trend that swept the Americas from Mexico to Argentina at the end of the nineteenth century. Seeking a language and a style that would distinguish the newly emergent nations from the old imperial power of Spain, Darío’s writing offered a refreshingly new vision of the world—an artistic sensibility at once cosmopolitan and connected to the rhythms of nature. The first part of this collection presents Darío’s most significant poems in a bilingual format and organized thematically in the way Darío himself envisioned them. The second part is devoted to Darío’s prose, including short stories, fables, profiles, travel writing, reportage, opinion pieces, and letters. A sweeping biographical introduction by distinguished critic Ilan Stavans places Darío in historical and artistic context, not only in Latin America but in world literature. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

UN CATHARE PARMI LES VAUDOIS DU PIÃ‰MONT EN 1378 â€“ 1380 LA DÃ‰POSITION DE JACOPO BECH

By: Ruben DE LABASTIDE

En 1387, l'évêque de Turin Giovanni Orsini et le dominicain Antonio di Settimo, inquisiteur de la Lombardie et de la Marche de Gênes, ouvrirent un procès à l'encontre des vaudois de la région de Chieri. Parmi les personnes qui furent auditionnées par ce tribunal, une seule révèle avoir appartenu à la «secte hérétique» des cathares (chaterorum), que les gens du pays appellent «gazari». Il s'agit d'un certain Jacopo Bech, un fratricelle, qui s'était fait vaudois puis cathare, pendant un peu plus de deux ans, avant de redevenir vaudois. Sa déposition donne des informations sur le catharisme à un moment où celui-ci a quasiment disparu des sources. C'est un témoignage capital. Il nous donne à voir que le catharisme était encore vivace à Chieri à la fin du XIVe.

Ten Twists

By: Ruben Quero

TEN TWISTS is a collection of short stories, all ending with the inevitable twist. Within the covers of this book you'll discover a variety of twists including the cliff hanger, the surprise, the poetic justice, and other twist endings. Some stories are light reading and offer a touch of romance, suspense, and maybe even a tad of whimsical humor. Others present a slightly more dramatic story line. A global pandemic helps launch "Angelika," into the world of rich and glamorous models. An unfortunate accident places her in a less desirable setting. In "Family Photos," Jerold Furgusson, an educator and avid photographer, under contract with the Philippine Government, unexpectedly meets distant family members. "The Hobo," takes you back to the time when vagabonds, also called hobos or tramps, used to travel from town-to-town, hopping freight trains. A bank is robbed on Halloween. It's now a case of 'who dun it'? A true wayfarer or a 'real-looking' hobo? "Little Lady," gets frustrated with Dad's complaints regarding the use of chemical sprays on flowers, vegetables, plants, and bugs. Christopher, a successful star, survives a horrific skydiving mishap then falls in love with nurse, "Katie". Three years later he returns in search of his love. "It's in the genes," Randy credits his parents for his life-long passion, in "Born to Dance." Mum's the word "In a World of Silence." Debra's Mom is hearing impaired and eventually loses her eyesight. A group of casino employees find themselves on a whimsical vacation as they sail together on "The Cruise." In "The Life of Lu Wang," Dexter interviews Lu, a prominent philanthropist and restaurateur, for a documentary featuring outstanding citizens in the Asian community. "A Short Love Story," exposes the summer romance between Frances Richards and Rick Barnes, an Air Force pilot.

Rebalancing

Evidence from Current Account Adjustment in Europe

By: Mr.Ruben Atoyan,Mr.Jonathan F Manning,Jesmin Rahman

After the 2003-2007 economic boom, European countries with large pre-crisis current account imbalances are undergoing adjustments. Countries are adjusting at different paces and ways reflecting the source and magnitude of imbalances, availability of financing, competitiveness of the tradable sector and external environment. While emerging European countries with large pre-crisis imbalances and a fixed exchange rate regime have seen sharp current account adjustments and a rebound in growth, adjustment in the euro zone periphery countries, which are also carrying a legacy of pre-crisis CA imbalances, has been gradual with difficulties bringing back growth. This paper is an empirical investigation of current account adjustment in Europe with a focus on these two groups, looking at contributions from cyclical and other factors, and seeking to draw policy conclusions.

Clandestine Migration and the Business of Bordering Europe

By: Ruben Andersson

In this groundbreaking ethnography, Ruben Andersson, a gifted anthropologist and journalist, travels along the clandestine migration trail from Senegal and Mali to the Spanish North African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla. Through the voices of his informants, Andersson explores, viscerally and emphatically, how Europe’s increasingly powerful border regime meets and interacts with its target–the clandestine migrant. This vivid, rich work examines the subterranean migration flow from Africa to Europe, and shifts the focus from the “illegal immigrants” themselves to the vast industry built around their movements. This fascinating and accessible book is a must-read for anyone interested in the politics of international migration and the changing texture of global culture.

Thrilling Tom the Dancing Bug Stories

By: Ruben Bolling

Cartoonist Ruben Bolling's oddball strip, Tom the Dancing Bug, makes waves on a weekly basis. Recognized the past two years by the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies (AAN) as Best Cartoon, Tom the Dancing Bug is consistently funny, pointed without being dogmatic, and takes on subjects that no one else does . . . an oasis of keen intelligence in the comics page, according to the 2003 AAN judges. Here are just a couple headlines from the quirky strip's News of the Times: o?= Computer Loses to Human Candy Land Champion: Despite progress made in developing a computer program that can defeat a human chess champion, computer scientists confess that they have been unable to launch a significant challenge to human supremacy in the game of Candy Land.o?= Scientists Discover Media Has Quantum Effect on Reality: A team of physicists discovers that an electron is in an uncertain state until the media report on it. For example, once an electron was measured and reported upon by Mary Hart on the Celebrity Corner segment of Entertainment Tonight, it instantly assumed its nature as a particle.Tom the Dancing Bug's client list is diverse, representing the breadth of contemporary journalism: alternative newspapers, such as Dallas Observer and the Village Voice; prestigious daily newspapers, including the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times; Salon.com, an acclaimed online magazine; and the New Yorker magazine.
