Sommario/riassunto

This book offers new insights into the Memorial of Moses on Mount Nebo, one of the most renowned coenobitic monasteries in the Byzantine period in Arabia. Starting from the archaeological data, the author critically reflects on the architectural phases of the basilica, the management and daily life in the monastery. Special attention is also given to pilgrimages to the monastic shrines beyond the River Jordan and their progressive abandonment.

Dieses Buch bietet neue Einblicke in die Memorialkirche für Mose auf dem Berg Nebo, einem der bekanntesten coenobitischen Klöster der byzantinischen Zeit in Arabien. Ausgehend von den archäologischen Daten reflektiert der Autor kritisch die architektonischen Phasen der Basilika sowie die Verwaltung und das tägliche Leben im Kloster. Besonderes Augenmerk wird auch auf Pilgerfahrten zu den Klosterheiligtümern jenseits des Jordan und auf deren fortschreitende Aufgabe gelegt.

Sommario/riassunto

« Qu’est-ce que l’architecture gothique ? » Les essais rassemblés dans ce volume offrent des réponses inédites à cette question. Le singulier



employé pour la formuler est volontaire. Il n’occulte pas la réalité d’une multiplicité d’architectures gothiques résultant de la longévité de son expression (xiie-xvie s.), de la mutation constante des formes et des techniques comme de la disparité des foyers culturels, des milieux géographiques, des structures sociales et des rythmes historiques. Au contraire, l’ambition de la question ainsi formulée est celle du croisement. En sollicitant, pour y répondre, un panel de spécialistes investiguant les gothiques des quatre pôles du domaine européen, il s’agit de permettre aux lecteurs d’identifier les lieux communs et de laisser apparaître les permanences gothiques à travers les âges et les milieux. Ce volume propose ainsi des interprétations, soulève des hypothèses et suggère de nouvelles visions.  What is Gothic architecture? The nine essays in this book offer an unprecedented answer to this question.

Sommario/riassunto

Includes the World War Two On The Eastern Front (1941-1945) Illustration Pack - 198 photos/illustrations and 46 maps.  The Nazi army's own DIRTY DOZEN--a convict battalion commanded to ravage and kill!  Sven Hassel's iconic war novel about the Russian Front. Convicted of deserting the German army, Sven Hassel is sent to a penal regiment on the Russian Front. He and his comrades are regarded as expendable, cannon fodder in the battle against the implacable Red Army. Outnumbered and outgunned, they fight their way across the frozen steppe...  This iconic anti-war novel is a testament to the atrocities suffered by the lone soldier in the fight for survival. Sven Hassel's unflinching narrative is based on his own experiences in the German Army. He began writing Legion of the Damned in a prisoner of war camp at the end of World War II.  "Rough honesty"--Commonwealth  "An extraordinary book, which has captured the attention of all of Europe."--New York Times  "Legion of the Damned is an incredible picture of totalitarianism, of stupefying injustice...He is graphic, at times brilliantly so, but never brutal or bitter. He is, too, a first-rate storyteller."--Washington Post
