The Rebels of Musa Dagh
by Fulvia degli Innocenti
Narek is fourteen years old and studies with brilliant profit in Antioch. For him, a son of peasants, the hope of a different future is possible. When, for no apparent reason, he is marginalized and then expelled from school he begins to understand. His fault? Be Armenian. We are in Turkey, in 1915. One of the most frightening genocides in history is about to begin. We witness the story of Narek, the days of resistance on Mount Musa Dagh, the crescendo of fear, the spirit of rebellion, the love for his Armenian identity, and the desire to live and enjoy small things, despite everything. Nereck, with his family, manages to save himself. He will become a refugee. Between 1915 and 1916, one and a half million Armenians were killed in Turkey. More than a hundred years after the massacre, Turkey still rejects the definition of genocide. This book is a small contribution so that no one forgets.

Magic, spells & alchemyThe Grimoire of Saint Cyprian
Clavis Inferni : Sive Magia Alba Et Nigra Approbata Metratona
by Stephen Skinner
There have been many grimoires attributed to St Cyprian of Antioch due to his reputation as a consummate magician before his conversion to Christianity, but perhaps none so intriguing as the present manuscript. This unique manuscript (unlike the more rustic examples attributed to St Cyprian called the Black Books of Wittenburg, as found in Scandinavia, or the texts disseminated under his name in Spain and Portugal) is directly in line with the Solomonic tradition, and therefore relevant to our present series of Sourceworks of Ceremonial Magic. It is unique in that instead of being weighed down with many prayers and conjurations it addresses the summoning and use of both the four Archangels, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel as well as their opposite numbers, the four Demon Kings, Paymon, Maimon, Egyn and Oriens. The later are shown in their animal and human forms along with their sigils, a resource unique amongst grimoires. The text is in a mixture of three magical scripts, Greek, Hebrew, cipher, Latin, (and reversed Latin) with many contractions and short forms, but expanded and made plain by the editors. The title literally means 'The Key of Hell with white and black magic as proven by Metatron'.

October 2020Aufbruch am Ararat
Das neue Armenien
by Amalia Van Gent
The dream of a less corrupt, democratic Armenia drove hundreds of thousands onto the streets across the country in the spring of 2018. This peaceful mass movement actually succeeded in driving the corrupt government out of office. But what has become of the great promise in the meantime? Which changes are sustainable and how does the Karabach Conflict affect social developments? This book is a highly topical encounter with modern Armenia, a valuable continuation of the author's first book (Den Ararat in front of her eyes - with Christina Leumann), but also an excitingly written examination of the history of this fascinating, but largely unknown country.

Travel writingMay 2005Riding to Jerusalem
by Bettina Selby
People have made their way to Jerusalem in many ways. Some have ridden in triumphantly as conquerors, others have come humbly on foot as pilgrims. Today many arrive cocooned in package holiday coaches. Bettina Selby did it the hard way - on a bicycle called Evans. Following the routes of the Crusaders and the early pilgrims across Europe, through Turkey, Syria and Jordan meant a long, very tough mountainous journey, but one of great natural beauty, and with endless opportunities to meet the peoples of those countries. It was a route that led past many of the most fabulous sites and cities of the ancient world - such as Byzantium, Troy, Pergamon, Palmyra, Petra, and finally, Jerusalem itself. Riding to Jerusalem combines the author’s perceptions and reflections with her sense of humour and keen relish of adventure. Not since reading Patrick Leigh Fermor have I enjoyed a travel book in which people and places, past and present are so vividly woven together Country Living
