Caused by the structure of the Koran the report of the statements of the content is very difficult, e.g. statements about Jesus can be found in 11 suras. Starting with the basic statements of the Koran (perfect book in perfect speach) the statements of the Koran are examined using the texts of the 114 suras and compared to the Old and New Testament . Subsequently is examined which image of God and the society is given in the Koran. This leads to the questions of the basic statements about the Islam and the tolerance of the Islam regarding other religions. [mehr]

This work should have been introduced to the world long ere now. The proper time to have brought it forward would have been about twenty years ago,[2] when the subject was nearly altogether new, and when popular feeling, in Scotland especially, ran strongly toward the body it treats of, owing to the celebrity of the writings of the great Scottish novelist, in which were depicted, with great truthfulness, some real characters of this wayward race.

There are two kinds of knowing the world: by accumulating knowledge through reasoning and learning of the phenomenal reality and of the mental reality ( the world of karma), which is called conventional wisdom; or by using the insight and become aware of and also experience the ultimate truth (jñana- the emptiness), which is called the ultimate wisdom. The conventional wisdom is considered dualistic, in the sense that the mind knowledge does not reflect the reality in its full truthfulness, namely the relationship between the mind-world and the matter-world is two-faced, truthful on one hand and false on the other. The most important thing when living the ultimate truth, even in its impure states of nirvana (samadhy, satori) is that one has the revelation that the whole universe is an infinite harmonious whole in which every particle, every object and every being are interrelated, interconnected and unified in love.

The chief beauty of this book lies not so much in its literary style, or in the extent and usefulness of the information it conveys, as in its simple truthfulness. Its pages form the record of events that really happened. All that has been done is to colour them; and, for this, no extra charge has been made. George and Harris and Montmorency are not poetic ideals, but things of flesh and blood—especially George, who weighs about twelve stone. Other works may excel this in dept of thought and knowledge of human nature: other books may rival it in originality and size; but, for hopeless and incurable veracity, nothing yet discovered can surpass it. This, more than all its other charms, will, it is felt, make the volume precious in the eye of the earnest reader; and will lend additional weight to the lesson that the story teaches. [mehr]

Many of the sketches contained in "Some Folks" were written by me during the past five years, and some of them published by Mr. Leslie in his Illustrated Newspaper and his Chimney Corner, from which journals they have been collected by friends who believe that in these stories is displayed better workmanship than I have since done. For myself, I can claim for them only an unusual degree of that unliterary and unpopular quality called truthfulness. Although at present mildly tolerated in the East, I was "brought up" in the West, and have written largely from recollection of "some folks" I have known, veritable men and women, scenes and incidents, and otherwise through the memories of Western friends of good eyesight and hearing powers.

This Volume Is Made Up From The Writings Of Naturalists Who Have Told Us Of The Behavior Of Animals As They Have Seen It At First Hand And Of The Beginnings And The Growth Of Life So Far As They Know About It. In Selecting These From The Wealth Of Available Material The Editor Has Been Guided By This Rule: The Subject Matter Must Be Interesting To Young People; It Must Be Told In A Clear And Attractive Style; And Most Important Of All, It Must Deal With Actualities. We Have Seen In The Last Few Years A Marked Revival Of Nature Studies. This Has Led To A Wider Range Of Interest In Natural Phenomena And In The Growth And Ways Of Animals And Plants. If This Movement Is Not To Be Merely A Passing Fad, The Element Of Truthfulness Must Be Constantly Insisted Upon. If A Clever Imagination, Or Worse, Sentimental Symbolism, Be Substituted For The Truth Of Nature, The Value Of Such Studies Is Altogether Lost. [mehr]

Title: The Book of Stories for the Storyteller Author: Fanny E. Coe Release Date: August 3, 2008 [EBook #26177] Language: English Character set encoding: ISO-8859-1 There is no need here to enter a plea for story-telling. Its value in the home and in the school is assured. Miss Bryant, in her charming book, How to Tell Stories to Children, says, "Perhaps never, since the really old days, has story-telling so nearly reached a recognized level of dignity as a legitimate and general art of entertainment as now." And, in the guise of entertainment, the story is often the vehicle conveying to the child the wholesome moral lesson or the bit of desirable knowledge so necessary to his well-being at the time. Thus it has come to be recognized that the ability to tell a story well is an important part of the equipment of the parent or the teacher of little children. The parent is often at a loss for fresh material. Sometimes he "makes up" a story, with but poor satisfaction to himself or his child. The teacher's difficulty is quite otherwise. She knows of many good stories, but these same stories are scattered through many books, and the practical difficulty of finding time in her already overcrowded days for frequent trips to the library is well-nigh insurmountable. The quest is indefinitely postponed, with the result that the stories are either crowded out altogether, or that the teacher repeats the few tales she has at hand month after month, and year after year, until all freshness and inspiration are gone from the story time. The stories in the present collection are drawn from many nations and from widely differing sources. Folk tales, modern fairy tales, and myths have a generous showing; and there is added a new field as a source for stories. This is Real Life, in which children soon begin to take decided interest. Under this heading appear tales of child life, of child heroes, of adult heroes, and of animals. Mr Herbert L. Willett, of the University of Chicago, has said: "It is not through formal instruction that a child receives his impulses toward virtue, honour and courtesy. It is rather from such appeal to the emotions as can be made most effectually through the telling of a story. The inculcation of a duty leaves him passionless and unmoved. The narrative of an experience in which that same virtue finds concrete embodiment fires him with the desire to try the same conduct for himself. Few children fail to make the immediate connection between the hero or heroine of the story and themselves." Because of this great principle of imitation, a large number of the stories in this little volume have been chosen for their moral value. They present the virtues of persistence, faithfulness, truthfulness, honesty, generosity, loyalty to one's word, tender care of animals, and love of friends and family. Some themes are emphasized more than once. "Hans the Shepherd Boy," "The Story of Li'l' Hannibal," and "Dust under the Rug," teach wholesome facts [mehr]

We are now in front of many facts about the beautiful artistic writing: First: In the last twenty years, the writing beautifulness and artistry in our awareness have been transmitted from the aesthetic view into the expressive view. Now the creative people concern with feeling expression more than the aesthetic applications. Second: We can differentiate three eras of stylistic approaches about the beautifulness and artistry in the writing, the pre-modernism which concerns with power of the meaning connection, the modernism which concerns with aesthetic of the writing and the post modernism, the present era, which concerns with powerful feeling expression. Third: In our globalisation and post-globalisation era, there is a powerful feeling and practice of free writing which doesn’t or shouldn’t observe the rules, the laws or the traditions in the beautiful writing, the literature, even the genre. Fourth: Now, we are in front of new literary writing which doesn’t fit or doesn’t want to follow any genre classification, it is a non-genric or trans-generic writing. Five: In this very free seeking era, why we need to study the stylistic elements of the present artistic writing and its law? I will answer the last question first and the other points I will deal with through the chapters of the book. In fact the human is a very selective creature and always seeking the better, and appreciate the best and imitate it, this is a point. In other aspect the deep humanistic instinctual recognition or experience, despite its truthfulness, it is vague and can’t exit from the primary view for the world things while the soul is a very complex and a highly knowing creature and can’t satisfied by the primary instinctual experience, so it needs the intellectual experience and analysis to reach its goals in everything, not just in aesthetic and beauty. In the process of the analysis, the intellectual recognition and the systematic differentiation of our experiences about the beautiful writing, we don’t add or invent something, not present in the text or in the writing or we put some elements which they are strange to the instinctual experience, but in fact, the intellectual analysis of the beautiful writing is a thorough analysis of the instinctual experience. Yes, our intellectual experience is always an analysis of our instinctual experience. So this book is a collection of intellectual analysis of the instinctual experiences in different aspects of the beautiful writing. So, I won’t find a new thing, but I will try to show what is present. I believe absolutely that the mind can’t find anything but just a tool to explain what the instinct knows and experiences. The mind knows nothing new but shows us what we know. [mehr]
