This illustrated book contains a collection of classic ancient tales, presented in a bilingual edition, that is perfect for those learning Spanish or English. With 137 stories and parallel translations, it provides students at any level with a chance to expand their vocabulary without needing to refer to a dictionary all the time. With this format, each Spanish sentence is accompanied by its English translation on the same page, making it easy to compare and understand. Learning with parallel text The parallel text encourages 'noticing' - the presence of the target language and the first language version on the same page facilitates 'noticing' grammar and vocabulary structures in an authentic linguistic context. Students learn vocabulary in context, the parallel text presents new lexical items without the teacher's direct involvement. This can effectively encourage reading for less confident individuals, the translation support lessens the anxiety levels of such learners and provides a solid and effective mechanism for learning a second language. Learning with fables The enduring nature of fables is enthralling, and the morals they impart can be extremely relevant in today's world. Fables are stories that teach important lessons about life. They can teach us how to be brave when things are hard, how to work well with others, how to accept people for who they are, and how to make good choices. By reading these fables, you'll not only become familiar with common language expressions, but you’ll also gain valuable worldly wisdom. 137 short stories The most familiar versions of Aesop’s fables come from those published by the Library of Congress in 1852. Most English-speaking readers know this variation of the fables. In this book, the fables have been updated with modern language, making them shorter and easier to understand for today’s readers. Likewise, the Spanish versions have been modernized. In addition to modernizing the language, some stories have been eliminated or updated to reflect our modern world. The stories in this collection are brief and can be read quickly – each fable only spans one or two pages that can be completed in a single sitting. While we believe that anyone can benefit from reading these stories, having a basic understanding of Spanish is recommended in order to fully appreciate the value of the message in both languages.

This first of a five-book historical series is devoted to the deeds of Sultan Selim I, the so called Selim the Grim by the Westerners, or Selim the Just by his subjects. Selim had Alexander the Great as a role model. With the help of the Janissary Corps he forced his father Bayezid to abdicate because he was religious and peaceful. Immediately after the coronation of Selim I in 1511, his deposed father died suddenly on his way to Edirne possibly by poisoning. Thereafter, Selim's older brothers Ahmet and Korkut were strangled together with their six sons, as well as Selim's three of his four legal sons, keeping alive only one, Suleiman.With his diplomatic skills Selim managed to unite the Turcoman and Tatar tribes under his banner. Then, he achieved a decisive victory over the Shah Ismail of Persia in the battle of Chaldiran in 1514, crushing the superior enemy cavalry with his artillery. Subsequently, he attacked the second major military power in Middle East, the Mamelukes of Egypt, winning several battles, conquering within a year all the major cities Aleppo, Damascus, Jerusalem and Gaza. The next year 1517 he crossed the Sinai Desert in thirteen days, and crushed the Mamelukes at Giza in front of the gates of Cairo, putting an end to the Mameluke dynasties that dominated the Middle East since the Crusades. As a result of the Egyptian conquest, Selim became the master of Mecca and Medina and the Caliph and Protector of Islam. In this dramatic historic background, the events related to the beginning of a long friendship between an Ottoman Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent and a remarkable Greek slave, Pargali Ibrahim are narrated freely on the basis of the existing vague historic outline. Considering the powerful people involved in these important events and the various national interests, there has been an effort by historians to whitewash many personal details that could be embarrassing if they ever became known. Moral standards and ethics change considerably in time; so discretion is critical before passing judgment.The author feels that from the very beginning of the narration the reader should also be aware that in the Ottoman Empire founded on the ruins of the Eastern Roman Empire the Sultan had the right to impose any kind of penalty he saw fit on his non-Muslim subjects. Only on Muslims he was obliged to seek the permission of religious authorities according to the Islamic Law. Thus, non-Muslim subjects called "raya" were basically what we call slaves in the modern West. Slaves had to follow orders or be punished severely to become examples other slaves should not follow. Slaves were also not allowed to ride horses. It goes without saying that the change of faith from Christian or Jewish to Muslim became a wide spread phenomenon in the Ottoman Empire.On the other hand, Muslim law prohibited any harsh punishments of slaves without reason and Ottoman state reworded slaves of exceptional abilities. It is characteristic that the highest administration offices, comparable to Prime Ministers, or Governors were traditionally given to ex-slaves of higher education or rare talents after they converted to Islam as the Ottoman state continued the Roman tradition of appointing eunuchs in high positions, because the lack of offspring removed one of the main reasons for embezzlement of state funds.Muslims were not allowed to castrate slaves so only Christians or Jews performed this risky operation. There is historical evidence Selim Khan was very fond of a eunuch his Grand Vizier Hadim Sinan Pasha who died during the battle of Giza. Selim Khan, being such a overwhelming personality, had great influence on the life of his son Suleiman, so without covering part of Selim's life the reader may not make sense of many of his son's actions. However, his mother Hafsa Hatun had also significant effect on his character the same way King Philip and Olympias affected Alexander the Great's behavior adding violence to the mixture.

Books on intercultural communication are rarely written with an intercultural readership in mind. In contrast, this multinational team of authors has put together an introduction to communicating across cultures that uses examples and case studies from around the world. The book further covers essential new topics, including international conflict, social networking, migration, and the effects technology and mass media play in the globalization of communication. Written to be accessible for international students too, this text situates communication theory in a truly global perspective. Each chapter brings to life the links between theory and practice and between the global and the local, introducing key theories and their practical applications. Along the way, you will be supported with first-rate learning resources, including: • theory corners with concise, boxed-out digests of key theoretical concepts • case illustrations putting the main points of each chapter into context • learning objectives, discussion questions, key terms and further reading framing each chapter and stimulating further discussion • a companion website containing resources for instructors, including multiple choice questions, presentation slides, exercises and activities, and teaching notes. This book will not merely guide you to success in your studies, but will teach you to become a more critical consumer of information and understand the influence of your own culture on how you view yourself and others.

This volume ties together the histories of Japan and China for the modern period prior to the 20th century. The chapters look at Chinese and Japanese works which were written in response to events in the other country. None of these works has received any sustained attention in the west. As a result we get a view of how Chinese and Japanese saw each other at a time when there were few personal contacts allowed. Many of these texts were built on fanciful embellishments of stories that migrated from one land to the other. But the unique qualities of the Sino-Japanese cultural bond seem to have conditioned the interaction so that these texts all reveal a fascinatingly well-defined area.

De proprietatibus rerum, ‘On the properties of things’, has long been referred to by scholars as a medieval encyclopedia, but evidence suggests that it has been many things to many people. The sheer number of extant manuscript copies and printed editions, along with translations, adaptations, and mentions in poems and sermons, testify to its continuous significance for Europeans of all estates and different walks of life, from the thirteenth to the seventeenth centuries. While first compiled soon after the time of St Francis by a humble continental friar to meet the needs of his expanding religious brotherhood, by 1600 English men of letters had claimed Bartholomew as a noble compatriot and national treasure. What was it about the work that propelled it through a progression of medieval cultures and into an exalted position in the world of English letters? This reception history traces evidence for the journey of ‘Properties’ over four centuries of social, political and religious change.
