Woe from Wit [Горе от ума]

By: Alexander Sergeyevich Griboedov ; Алекса́ндр Серге́евич Грибое́дов

Woe from Wit (Russian: Горе от ума, also translated as The Woes of Wit, Wit Works Woe and so forth) is Alexander Griboedov's comedy in verse, satirizing the society of post-Napoleonic Moscow, or, as a high official in the play styled it, a pasquinade on Moscow. The play, written in 1823 in the countryside and in Tiflis, was not passed by the censorship for the stage, and only portions of it were allowed to appear in an almanac for 1825. But it was read out by the author to all Moscow and to all Petersburg and circulated in innumerable copies, so it was as good as published in 1825; it was not, however, actually published until 1833, after the author's death, with significant cuts, and was not published in full until 1861. The play was a compulsory work in Russian literature lessons in Soviet schools, and is still considered a golden classic in modern Russia and other Russian-speaking countries. The play gave rise to numerous catch phrases in the Russian language, including the title itself. Many of them sound rather comic today because of their somewhat archaic language....

Essays on Central Asia

By: Ph.D. HB Paksoy

The designation "Altai," as Ozbek and Kazakh, are primarily geographical, tribal or confederation names, not ethnonyms. Those appellations were mistakenly or deliberately turned into "ethnic"or "political" classifications by early explorers or intelligence agents arriving in those lands ahead of the Russian armies and bureaucrats....

Islam is the latest religion to reach Central Asia. The indigenous Tengri and Shamanism,20 which appears to have co- existed with Zoroastrianism, prevailed even after the arrival of other religions such as Buddhism and Manichaeanism.21 The introduction of Islam into Central Asia went through roughly three stages: force of arms and alms; the scholasticist madrasa; Sufism. But the first group to come into contact with Islam in Central Asia were not the Shamanistic or Buddhist Turks. It was the Zoroastrian Persians.22 Within 100 years of the death of the Prophet Muhammad, i.e. by 750, the Muslim Arabs had expanded their political state far beyond the Arab lands. Consequently, the Muslim community of believers, umma, began to encompass ethnicities beyond the Arabs themselves. The first non-Arabs to accept Islam in large numbers were the Persians, whose empire the Arab forces defeated in a series of battles between 637-651. ...

ATOM & the Bible : Codes and Elements, Volume 3

By: Ms. Rochelle Ann Laura

Various styles of scientific information concerning Atomic behavior.

Dear Reader: I will do my best to be brief. The investigation I have embarked on is the research into the synonyms, antonyms and palindromes that make up the Atomic sub-text of scripture. There is more. I have uncovered the Atomic values (Periodic Elements) in the Hebrew and Aramaic languages through the use of Strong’s Hebrew Aramaic Dictionary, and a little known numeric grid referred to as the Thomas Jefferson Beale key. These further decipher the Genesis, or mystery of Atom and how it’s demise was also Christ’s demise. The book of Revelation foretelling or the re-Genesis of the atomic bond when it was broken by Oppenheimer but resurrected by Christ’s act of offering His ‘Rib’ (Arc of the Covenant) to renew the split Atom of Trinity Mountain, Alamogordo New Mexico( July 16, 1945).The importance of hidden message of the book of Daniel is the sub-text of Israeli Diaspora of 1948. While I believe Daniel’s message embodies particulars of Particle Physics, with the purpose of the maker of Calculus, Sir Isaac Newton, to uncover the code for future generations to procure mysteries hidden in the Periodic Table that Sir Isaac was ...

Bare Liberty

By: Matt R. Erickson

As these proud and once-prosperous United States of America continue in tragic decline, Mark Evanston leaps back into action in the third and final installment of the Bald Justice series, Bare Liberty. Working with his colleagues at the Patriot Corps, Mark continues on with his Patriot Quest to eliminate government tyranny, once and for all. Mark routs out evil where it lurks most prevalently, within our monetary system which was cleverly separated from the gold and silver coin which is otherwise required by our U.S. Constitution. By understanding precisely how our government is able to ignore the Constitution with impunity, Mark soon devises his proposed cure, his Once and For All Amendment. Bare Liberty provides the solid rationale for proposing and ratifying a new constitutional amendment in story form, to close the constitutional loophole which has always allowed government to act in all cases whatsoever, to act everywhere except where they are expressly prohibited from acting. By Building Awareness of Republican Knowledge, the Patriot Corps is able to help Restore Our American Republic. By individually learning to B.A.R.K...

“I have to admit, my first killing shocked me,” Terry admitted. “Not because it was so hard, but actually because it was so easy and even more so because it was thrilling. Total dominion over someone else is very intoxicating, so much better than alcohol, drugs, or even sex. Actually, it was even better killing someone who had willingly just given me great sex only hours earlier, who now welcomed me back, only for me to then kill her.” “Your first killing?” Mark was able to get out, before figuring out that Terry must have also killed Stan Bogelman and Mike Holladay. “I can see you now realize that I also killed Stan and Mike, as well as your sex double Art Black down in California, after your investigators began closing in on him,” Terry offered. “And now I see you finally understand that I’m telling you all this so I can get a bigger thrill out of killing you next.” Mark had no time to try and process that information, but simply react, more aggressively than he had ever acted in his lifetime. Mark sprinted the few yards toward Terry with all the speed and determination he could possible muster, but Terry was easily able t...

Counting Roots: Zayin Edition

By: Benjamin Lee Cooper

Due to upload limitations or errors, I am unable to upload recent versions of my books. Please go to https://learn-hebrew-from-genesis.weebly.com/ to find my most recent self-published book versions / editions. This book is essentially an enhanced dictionary that can also be used for these other purposes: 1: to determine the frequencies of word usage in the Tanakh ('Old' Testament). 2: to more easily compare words with similar spellings. 3: to discover the chapter number of each Bible chapter. 4: to discover verses in other chapters that link information with the chapter number that you are looking at. 5: to discover important information about a Bible chapter that you are looking at. 6: to compare all of the words that come from one single root, which can help us to better understand those word meanings and word usages. 7: to discover the relationship between the first usage of a word in the Bible and the sum of the root that that word belongs to. 8: to discover what Bible chapter a word root belongs to, and how that root meaning might interact with that Bible chapter. 9: to discover what the Hebrew name...

The main thing that this 'dictionary' lacks that other 'dictionaries' might have is the verse locations of each place a word is used in. This is common with Concordances of the Bible. Because it would increase the size of this book by more than a 1000 pages, and the time it would take to list each word location, I have decided to not include concordance information in this dictionary, even though that would be something I would have wanted to do if I had the time and patience to do it. The names of people or places are usually not going to be listed in this dictionary which is root centered, because they are redundant in the sense that names have meanings based on the roots of the words that make up the name. Essentially, names are just transliterations and if you know what the roots already mean, you already know what the name means....

There are no chapters, just entries for each Bible chapter number from 1 to 1189 where roots go. There are bookmarks for each Bible Chapter of the bible in this book. Each bookmark also lists the numbers of the chapters so that you can just look at the numbers in the bookmarks to quickly jump to the closest number to the root you are looking for....
