AuthorHouse Book - Don Quixote Explained by Emre Gurgen

12.5.13 | Labels:



Overview: 
Don Quixote Explained focuses on seven topics: how Sancho Panza refines into a good governor through a series of jokes that turn earnest; how Cervantes satirizes religious extremism in Don Quixote by taking aim at the Holy Roman Catholic Church; how Don Quixote and Sancho Panza check-and-balance one another’s excesses by having opposite identities; how Cervantes refines Spanish farm girls by transforming Aldonza Lorenzo into Dulcinea; how outlaws like Roque Guinart and Gines Pasamonte can avoid criminality and why; how Cervantes establishes inter-religional harmony by having a Christian translator, on the one hand, and a Muslim narrator, on the other; and lastly, how Cervantes replaces a medieval view of love and marriage―where a woman is a housekeeper, lust-satisfier, and child begetter―with a modern view of equalitarian marriage typified by a joining of desires and a merger of personalities. "AN ERUDITE EXAMINATION OF THE THEMES AND IDEAS IN DON QUIXOTE. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE WRITING AND EXPOSITION OF THIS WELL-REASONED CRITIQUE. BUY IT AND STUDY IT. GERALD J. DAVIS, AUTHOR OF DON QUIXOTE, THE NEW TRANSLATION BY GERALD J. DAVIS" WWW.DON-QUIXOTE-EXPLAINED.COM

“SSHHH, be quiet boy! You want to eat, don’t you? Just take the stuff on top and let’s go!” “Who dat? Lil Tina and Mack, iz dat you?” “Yes Ma’am” “What yal doing down dere? What……. Yal come on up here right now!” “See…I told you to be quiet! Now, we in trouble.” I said. My mind was already thinking about the various ways this might play out. I don’t remember, or maybe I haven’t been able to remember, the circumstances that brought my brother Mack and I to this point. All I know is, to this day, I can still feel how hungry we were and how good those fish scraps looked when we found them wrapped in aluminum foil, sitting right on top of the trash below the lid of the first trashcan that we searched.

Authorhouse Publisher | The Release of ‘Inmates' Survival Handbook’

8.5.13 | Labels:



An excerpt from “Inmates' Survival Handbook”: “I recommend every inmate study Islam. You have a right to learn this way of life and I encourage you to do so. When studying this ‘way’ it will provide you with a broader philosophical perspective. In addition, it will enable you to ‘think out side of the box’. Everyone has a right to know about this significant ‘way’. Rational human beings must be able to think for themselves and make decisions about what behavior is fundamentally best for themselves and others.” Although part of Sharif’s goal in writing “Inmates' Survival Handbook” is to expose readers to the shocking evidence and information he has gathered, he also hopes to call readers to action on the issues he discusses. “People can make a difference in how their religious, business and political leaders address criminal justice issues,” he says. “Most of our state political leaders are lobbied by private prison special interests groups. Knowledge, when applied, will pressure those in authority to change their way of doing business. A failed education system is feeding our failed correctional system.”
