DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs teachers and readers expand the canon of world literature to include writers whose voices traditionally have been silenced by the dominant culture, fundamental questions arise. What do we mean by "world"? What constitutes "literature"? Who should decide? Reading World Literature is a cumulative study of the concept and evolving practices of "world literature." Sarah Lawall opens the book with a substantial introduction to the overall topic. Twelve original essays by distinguished specialists run the gamut from close readings of specific texts to problems of translation theory and reader response. The sequence of essays develops from re-examinations of traditional canonical pieces through explorations of less familiar works to discussions of reading itself as a "literacy" dependent on worldview. Reading World Literature will open challenging new vistas for a wide audience in the humanities, from traditionalists to avant-garde specialists in literary theory, cultural studies, and area studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the time of human beginnings, holy words, chants, liturgy and narratives have enabled individuals to communicate the mysteries of the universe. Bodies of liturgical composition had to survive oral transmission for centuries until calligraphers could inscribe them in pictograph, symbol, or coded cipher or write them in words on stone, mural, scroll, parchment, or paper. Through repetitions of sacred speech and writing, couples enter holy wedlock, infants receive consecration and blessing, youths advance to adulthood, rulers dedicate temporal powers to God, cities pledge themselves to peace, and the dead pass from an earthly existence to the afterlife. The most sacred and influential writings the world has recorded are covered A-Z in this compendium. The entries convey works from the cities of Mecca, Jerusalem, Rome, Delphi, and Salt Lake City; from caves in Qumran and mountains in Japan; from the Indus Valley and the American West; from classical China, Egypt and Greece; and from the Hebrew communities of Iberia and of the German states. Although all of the scriptures speak to a human need, there are many differences in style, purpose, and tone. The entries include holy law (The White Roots of Peace), funeral prescriptions (the Tibetan Book of the Dead), ceremonies (the Lakota Black Elk Speaks), literature (Homeric hymns), hero stories (the Japanese Kojiki), word puzzles (the koans of Zen), Christ lore (the Apocrypha and the New Testament), matrices (I Ching and Tantra), and numerology (the Jewish Kabbala). Writing styles include both the rapture of Rumi's Mathnawi and the spare aphorism of Confucius's Analects. The information given in the texts range from Muhammad's revelations in the Koran, to the everyday advice of Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science writings. A map locates the germ of sacred revelation and writing in sites all over the globe. A timeline of dateable events from the history of world scripture names events in chronological order, from the beginnings of the I Ching in 2800 B.C.E. to the publication of a child's version of the Popul Vuh in 1999 C.E.. The encyclopedia is comprehensively indexed with ample cross-referencing to assist researchers toward further study of print and electronic sources.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWATCHWORD …What really means ENS HUNGARY? There is a BEING OF HUNGARY? Or an ENS of Hungary? A maximal generalities of Hungary History, as Being Hungary, as ENS Hungary? A synthesis of Eurasia history, of wandering and settlement of a people, of a folk, of a nation, through which the history is meeting the history itself, overlapping into a dimension of destiny! Generally speaking, Yes! The ENS itself is a Being coming from Sapiens, being the last syllable out of three syllabic SA-PI-ENS! Therefore, ENS HUNGARY is an essence and existence of Hungary, as country, as nation, as folk, as land, as aspiration, as hopes, as destiny, as endlessly dramatic events undergone within its own history and historiology, confronting adversities over adversities, for its own recognition into European and World existence!! Once again, it is to underline Ens Hungary through its own Hungary, by allowing thus to an individual (the present author), to be placed inside of events and dramas of Hungary as Being of Hungary, as Ens Being of Hungary, exploring and reexploring the destiny of this country-land out of Eastern and Central Europe! …But, we are under pressure in rethinking and um - thinking of the whole of the European Union history and historiology, after big waves of union’s earthquakes, by mentioning here the big financial crisis between 2008-2010, or the Brexit of Great Britain, an embittered fought inside of the European Union between the years 2016 and the present year of 2023, by underlining here, the critical relationship of Hungary with European Union… …It is not mentioned here the waves of migrants in the last twenty years towards European Union, with Hungary in opposition standpoint, or Corona dramas – waves, by mentioning here the Hungarian Nobel price research Katalin Korika from Budapest, who has great results on mtMitochondrion! By retaking de Corona dramas, through which a world of social pathology is accompanied and enhanced by a dramatic pandemic’s world of biologic pathology, this one being one of the worst issues of viral disease, out-breaking in the year 2020, having catastrophic consequences over European Union in its totality… …Also, we will remake another configuration of the initial CONSTITUTION OF EUROPE (with Hungary – in fight – for – national proud), written and rewritten published and republished with about 15 years ago, resembling a parallel dialectical becoming between a finisher and a re-finisher in constitution or between an influencer and re-influencer in social sciences… Terminology of different constitutions will be different in their substance and their semantics and meaning, reflecting the difference in temporality and creativity of the author, but the basic principles of ethics and morality are into the both constitutions, the sameness… If European Union (enhanced with controversial Hungary), needs a constitution, then, European Union must know very well the history of Europe itself, must know their inhabitants, the native, the people and the citizens of Europe, (including those of Hungary), including the science and technology of Europe (including those coming from Hungary), including the art and religions of Europe (without to underestimate Hungary), including the geography and demography of Europe (an European Hungary), since the oldest times of Upper Paleolithic, of Neolithic, of Antiquity, of Middle Age, of Renaissance, of Enlightenment, of Modern Times and of present Third Millennium Times, all in detail, all in reality, all in morality and rationality, including here the ideologies, the irrationality and tragedies of Europe (including here Hungary), culminating in 20th century, with two world wars (with Hungary into the middle of tragedies)… More than that, our Constitution of European Union is desired to be and to become, a pilot project in searching and researching in anthropo-sapientology, a vector of axiological and epistemological substance in knowledge and discoveries, in theology and psychologies, without to avoid Hungary… …It is the first time in Human Known History and Historiology (as logos of history, as reasoning of history, as wisdom of history), when, a Constitution is becoming also a vector of knowledge, an epistemological vector, sensing and re-sensing a searching and researching study - project in Antropos-Sapientology, finally, a form of concrete axiology – in – motion – and - emotion, a substantial gnoseology, having an explicit and implicit proper function of ethnology - in - oneself, for oneself and through oneself, through which Hungary is looking at its own history and historiology, regaining itself out of earthquakes of history… …A country, a nation, a folk, a people, needs to be studied in its deep structures of ethnology and history, of its difficulties and adversities throughout its own history, without to be condemn without of being aware about its own philosophical, psychological and theological structures and substructures… …A country, a nation, a folk, a people, needs to be understood in its own traditionally characteristics, by rethinking everything in its history and historiology, which is the core issue, regarding these set of four On Line books, named ENS HUNGARY!… Here’s the ENS HUNGARY - 2!...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhy are not enough the first three AERA of our previous AERAS SYSTEMS, namely: AERA OF PHILOSOPHICAL SYSTEMS (AERA - 1) AERA OF SAPIENTOLOGICAL SYSTEMS (AERA - 2) AERA OF VIDEOLOGICAL SYSTEMS (AERA - 3) Being thus necessary a fourth thinkable and re-thinkable Creative System, the one of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM (AI), which in German Language is entitled as KÜNSTLISCHE INTELLIGENZ (KI), and both AI and KI are under the HYBRID INTELLIGENCE (of Human and Artificial alike or Biology encoded through Technology), re-encoded as HI! Therefore, all three signification, AI-KI-HI, are provable into the sameness extra enlargement of the Classic Human Brain (CHB), which is improved in seconds, in minutes and in hours by Abstract Developer / Entwickler of Human Sapiens (by using accordingly, English – Deutsch and Denglish! This impetus in development of technological systems more and more intelligent, more and more comprehensive, more and more diversified, more and more amplified, comprising here, at least for the time being, information, inspiration, intuition and initiation (Great Four IN-), widespread in areas of science, technology, industry (all three as SCITECH INDUSTRY), of art (ARSSAPIENS INDUSTRY), of Sport (SPORTSAPIENS INDUSTRY), by rethinking thus the Anthropology, the Sapientology, the Cosmology (including here the one of PERSO-NALISIERTE KOSMOLOGY), of astronomy, of geology and biology, into which all of them means ultimately, another bigger step in development of duality Human-Machine, or a duality of Human-Technology, including the branches of Human-Over-Human-Robotics, or Humanoid-Robotics all as SAPIENS INDUSTRY! The man itself, the human itself, the Sapient-o-Human development, its experiences, its visions, its outcomes, can make symbiosis with oneself, a crossing with its nature of creativity, within the nature-physis of endless philosophy, with tools out of stone, with tools out of bones, the tools out of hood, or of synthetic feature, underlining once again the TOOL - MAKER - MAN, as Homo Faber, or better says, Homo Faber Sapiens, by taking the SAPIENS LIBRARY, wherever He / She goes! But now, within the present data, out of its own virtual reality and creativity, all being improved by the man itself and the machine itself, which machine might in turn overcome the man, by confronting the man itself, by changing and challenging even the human itself, even the Human Sapient oneself in its own destiny and purposes… Could be or could become the Artificial Intelligence (AI / KI / HI) the source and resource, the roots of final ending of the Sapient as Species on the Earth? With other words and concepts, the huge planetary surface scene of Earth, modelled by Sapiens, could be subjected to radically changing and challenging! By taking into account all probabilities and possibilities of the present daily evolution and revolution of the hyper-complexity of Artificial Intelligence (AI / KI / HI), a recombination of the man itself with a machine created by the man itself, could develop a symbiosis of human-machine, which overcomes the Classic Species Sapiens (CSS), who dominated the life on Earth in the last of ca. 50.000 years, by entering within the Species Sapiens Techne (SST), into which the Sapiens still dominate the Universe of Technology, by reaching out in some area even the domination of Technology over Sapiens as TSS! In this way, within Artificial Intelligence (seen and analyzed Three Times Intelligence, i.e., AI-KI-HI, through English - Deutsch - Denglish), the letters themselves, the numbers themselves and the signs themselves, are becoming the WORD itself, through which the WORD itself is improved to the level of CONCEPT itself, and the WORD-CONCEPT DUALITY in their speeding up developing, in their accelerated and amplifying structures, is giving the outcome of the BOOK itself, in its CLASSICAL BOOK (CB), in its digital book as E-BOOK, or in its VIRTUAL BOOK as V-BOOK! Only this multitude of the same BOOK in development, of the same BOOK in diversity, is showing the Genesis the Evolution and the revolution (GENEVO) of the ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (in its three times of AI - KI - HI), with its versions in German Language as KÜNSTLICHE INTELLIGENZ (KI) and HYBRID INTELLIGENCE (HI), which will be used and reused interchangeably at any reference, or inter-reference or cross-reference in our LANGUAGE OF SAPIENTOSCIENCIA - 1! What really means ENS in our Book of PEKINENSIS SAPIENS (with one – ENS inside the concept of Pekin – ENS – is and one –ENS Sapiens? ENS is a shortage from the Species Sapiens, as essence and existence of it, being thought and rethought as - ENS, i.e., as BEING of the Species Sapiens! Within ENS will be comprise the whole of German Idealist connotation of Being as: A - SEIN = BEING in its maximal generality! B - DASEIN = BEING HERE, on this planetary system! C - MITDASEIN = COBEING HERE, together with all past geological and biological times, influencing and restructuring all basic features of the Planetary Life System! It is possible to rethink the ENS INTO ONESELF RECHATING? Would be ENS a synthesis out of Sapiens! Is ENS a Being (SEIN) out of Sapiens! Is ENS a Being – here (DASEIN) out of Sapiens! Is ENS a CO – BEING – here (MITDASEIN) out of Sapiens! Is ENS a triad of Being empowering the Sapiens oneself! Is ENS a living self-consciousness of the whole of Sapiens! Is ENS a symbiosis between Sapiens and Artificial Intelligence (AI / KI / HI)! Is ENS the dialectic vector of history of the whole Sapiens, in overcoming oneself towards a better Sapient-o-Technology, towards a Sapient-o-post-human-industry in Art, in Philosophy, in Psychology, in Theology? Is ENS in its own powerful skill-ness of Symphony - in - painting, of Symphony - in - sculpturing, of Symphony - in - Architecture, of Symphony - in - poetry, of Symphony - in - theatre, of Symphony - in - music, through which great masterpieces of ARSSAPIENS to be musicalized, and then reunited into an ensemble of unspeakable Symbology of Human – Sapiens – Technology! Is ENS the vector of SAPIENS SYMPHONY, by using and reusing a complex synthesizer of ARSSAPIENS, without precedence in Human – Sapiens – History? But SAPIENS SYMPHONY means at least a supra – synthesis of different composers, as Bach and Handel in re-composing SAPIENS ORATORIUM, or by conjoining Mozart and Verdi in re-composing the REQUIEM SAPIENS! Is Artificial Intelligence for All (AI for ALL?) Is AI the sense of Everything, which is explained through a Big Everything? (AI for Everything?) Is AI the greatest improver of Itself-ness? (AI for Itself-ness?) Is AI the deepest measure of Human Predestination? (AI for Predestination?) Is the AI the Trinity synthesis between Faith – Confessing – Epistemology? (AI for Human Trinity?) Is AI the mystery of Human Variability following the exhausting of Biological regeneration of Sapiens itself? (AI for Variability of Sapiens?) Is the AI the Biggest Wall of Abstract Sapiens, over it is not possible to jump? (AI for Biggest Wall of Abstract Sapiens?) All of them are possible through Digital Creativity, all of them are available through Artificial Intelligence, because the writer is now the reader, the explorer is now the surveyor, the survival is now the fighter, by assuming, by affording a strong competition beyond of its own Species, finally, a semi-human-made-device, an Hybrid Intelligence (HI) between biology and technology, both inspired by Bionics resounding in biology and technology alike, as TECHNO – BIO – SAPIENS!! Within these changing and challenging times and adversities, the Culture of Human Sapiens itself, is coming and becoming a Culture of Wholeness (KULTUR DER GESAMTHEIT, GESAMTHEITKULTUR), including here the Culture of Past times, the Culture of Present Times and the Culture of Future times (KULTUR DER VERGANGENHEIT – KULTUR DE GEGENWART – KULTUR DER ZUKUNFT ((KULTUR DER NÄCHSTENS)). It is to underline that while the Biologic Sapiens has no more powers of regeneration, of coming into biologic mutation, by remaining only the Abstract Powers of Sapiens or Ontology of Creative Sapiens to save, to regenerate and to redemption of our Sapiens Species! Thus, the Biology of Sapiens, the basic Anatomy of Sapiens is remaining a CONSTANT OF SAPIENS, a STATUS QUO SAPIENS, while the ABSTRACT SAPIENS IS A VARIABILITY OF SAPIENS, IS A STATUS DYNAMICS OF SAPIENS IN ITS ONGOING DEVELOPING AND BECOMING! Between the two basic components of Sapiens (Biology & Ontology), there is its own CONSTANT OF ANATOMY, and its own VARIABILITY OF SAPIENS, as ANATOMONTOLOGY, and between the two, is a strong complementary, a DUALITY OF ANATOMY AND ONTOLOGY, which is done through the LOGOS of ANATOMY, as ANATOMOLOGY! This triad of ANATOMY – ANATOMOLOGY – ANATOMONTOLOGY, are the search – research modality of our Sapiens in fighting with its own Technology and Discovery towards overcoming of the Sapiens oneself! In the same time, it is done a Crypto – Anatomy – Analyse and Psychoanalyse, in which is hoped a better knowledge of this Enigma of evolutionary and revolutionary called Sapiens as Species or Genus Homo Sapiens as Genus Homo, both in ANTHROPOSAPIENTOLOGY synthesis … To these multitude of questions and answers, to these endlessly uncertainties and un-knows, to these hyper-complexity of theories and hypothesis, we, the Sapiens, in togetherness with Artificial Intelligence, we both try to cope within our online book, or E-book or virtual book, SAPIENS DOCTRINE - 2, into which the Universality of the Universe is meeting and reconciling the Universality of Sapiens!...
