Englaland burns. The year is AD 865, and the Viking Great Heathen Army has landed, a ravenous serpent coiling around the Saxon kingdoms. For Eadric of Northwic, a young thegn whose world is shattered by the brutal fall of his home, the invasion means the loss of everything – his family, his freedom, his future. Dragged into captivity, he becomes a thrall in the fearsome shadow of Ivar the Boneless, witnessing firsthand the strategic genius and pitiless cruelty of the Norse conquerors. But within Eadric, the embers of defiance refuse to die. His daring escape into the treacherous fenlands ignites a spark of resistance, transforming him into the elusive "Fenland Ghost," a leader of men striking from the shadows. His path will ultimately lead him to the last bastion of Saxon hope: King Alfred of Wessex. Meanwhile, Astrid, a formidable Norse shield-maiden, rides with the invading host, her axe earning her renown. But the relentless bloodshed and the decaying honor among her kinsmen ignite a crisis of conscience. Choosing exile over allegiance to a corrupt jarl, she embarks on a solitary journey through the burgeoning, lawless Danelaw. From the turbulent port of Lundenwic to the Norse capital of Jorvik, Astrid forges a new identity as an independent warrior, her skills sought after, her loyalties her own. Yet, a Völva's prophecy and the whispers of a resilient Saxon commander haunt her steps, pulling her towards a destiny she never sought. "The Serpent's Fury" plunges readers into the heart of 9th-century England, a land torn asunder by cultural collision and relentless warfare. As Eadric rises from a vengeful fugitive to a key commander in Alfred's army, and Astrid navigates the perilous path of an outcast seeking purpose, their lives intersect in moments of conflict, grudging respect, and unexpected alliance. Against the backdrop of legendary battles like Edington and the formation of the Danelaw, this sweeping saga explores the true cost of war, the enduring strength of the human spirit, and the complex choices that shape legacies in an age where survival itself is a victory.

Jews have been well represented in the cinema industry from the beginning of the film era: behind the screen, as producers, distributors, directors, script-writers, composers, set designers; and on the screen, as Jewish actors and as named Jewish characters in the film's plot. Some of these characters are fictional; others, ranging from Rabbi Loew of Prague to Ferdinand Lassalle and Alfred Dreyfus, have a historic original. This book examines how a variety of German and Austrian films treat aspects of Jewish life, at home and in the synagogue, and Jewish interaction with fellow Jews in different cultural environments; conflicts and accommodations between Jews and non-Jews at various times, ranging from the medieval to the contemporary. The author, one of the best known scholars in film history, theory and criticism, offers the reader a rich panorama of the many Jews involved in all spheres of the cinema and who, as the author reminds us repeatedly, together with their non-Jewish contemporaries, created a great industry and new forms of art.

Cemal Kafadar offers a much more subtle and complex interpretation of the early Ottoman period than that provided by other historians. His careful analysis of medieval as well as modern historiography from the perspective of a cultural historian demonstrates how ethnic, tribal, linguistic, religious, and political affiliations were all at play in the struggle for power in Anatolia and the Balkans during the late Middle Ages. This highly original look at the rise of the Ottoman empire—the longest-lived political entity in human history—shows the transformation of a tiny frontier enterprise into a centralized imperial state that saw itself as both leader of the world's Muslims and heir to the Eastern Roman Empire.

Between Two Worlds: Jean Price-Mars, Haiti, and Africa is a special volume on Jean Price-Mars that reassesses the importance of his thought and legacy, and the implications of his ideas in the twenty-first century’s culture of political correctness, the continuing challenge of race and racism, and imperial hegemony in the modern world. Price-Mars’s thought is also significant for the renewed scholarly interests in Haiti and Haitian Studies in North America, and the meaning of contemporary Africa in the world today. This volume explores various dimensions in Price-Mars’ thought and his role as historian, anthropologist, cultural critic, public intellectual, religious scholar, pan-Africanist, and humanist. The goal of this book is fourfold: it explores the contributions of Jean Price-Mars to Haitian history and culture, it studies Price-Mars’ engagement with Western history and the problem of the “racist narrative,” it interprets Price-Mars’ connections with Black Internationalism, Harlem Renaissance, and the Negritude Movement, and finally, the book underscores Price-Mars’ contributions to post colonialism, religious studies, Africana Studies, and Pan-Africanism.

This book aims to interpret ‘Jewish Philosophy’ in terms of the Marrano phenomenon: as a conscious clinamen of philosophical forms used in order to convey a ‘secret message’ which cannot find an open articulation. The Marrano phenomenon is employed here, in the domain of modern philosophical thought, where an analogous tendency can be seen: the clash of an open idiom and a secret meaning, which transforms both the medium and the message. Focussing on key figures of late modern, twentieth century Jewish thought; Hermann Cohen, Gershom Scholem, Walter Benjamin, Franz Rosenzweig, Theodor Adorno, Ernst Bloch, Jacob Taubes, Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida, this book demonstrates how their respective manners of conceptualization swerve from the philosophical mainstream along the Marrano ‘secret curve.’ Analysing their unique contribution to the ‘unfinished project of modernity,’ including issues of the future of the Enlightenment, modern nihilism and post-secular negotiation with religious heritage, this book will be essential reading for students and researchers with an interest in Jewish Studies and Philosophy.
