Book Description
The Devil, I Know Him is a provocative and intelligent exploration of the concepts of the Free Man, Absolutism and the Devil. It’s a brutally honest masterpiece that looks deep into the heart of fantasy and longing. In an intelligent, raw, and often sarcastic manner, Iliyan Kuzmanov chronicles the Devil. A remarkable journey from ancient Syria to worldwide notoriety today. Cruel modern classic about humanism, doomed love, passion, faith, God, law, wisdom, and redemption. Contemporary high adrenaline interpretation of the works of the likes of Dante, Milton, Goethe, and Bulgakov. Anti-totalitarian apocrypha, a free man’s confession, a self-made man’s gospel. A rage, rebellion in the name of a Love, a far cry for freedom that can shake lawless empires and godless tyrants. A lonely voyage of the will, the endless power of the human spirit, the immortal soul through cycles of metamorphoses, dreams, and revelations. Iliyan’s irony is disarming, allowing brilliantly to expose all that is absurd and paradoxical in the totalitarian societies. The Devil, I Know Him is the Eastern European answer to the rising dark autocratic systems inspired by the Miguel de Cervantes’ classic novel Don Quixote. Magical realism that will thrill your emotions and perceptions. And in the meantime, with comprehensive knowledge and entrancing storytelling skills, Iliyan discovers the notions of the Devil and Free Man with a palette of narratives, through different arts, cultures, and historical periods. Provoking thoughts on freedom, feudalism, fascism, control, power, belief and tolerance.

Book Description
Samuel N. Rosenberg, one of the premier translators of Old French, presents in this volume the first modern English-language version of the thirteenth-century French romance Robert le Diable, a tale of supernatural birth and spiritual redemption. Robert is born after his mother, a childless noblewoman, secretly calls upon Satan to help her conceive. His wicked behavior as a boy and, later, as a destructive young man is so brutal that one day Robert prevails upon his mother to reveal the secret of his birth and thus the source of his wickedness. Upon learning the truth, he leaves his privileged home in Normandy to seek salvation. Robert’s lengthy penance—under the aegis of the Pope and a pious hermit—begins with his acting as a mute fool in the Roman Emperor’s court and ends with his sainthood. In between he plays the hero’s role in defeating the Turks in battle and turns down the hand of the Emperor’s daughter in marriage, choosing instead to return to the hermit’s abode. The legend of Robert le Diable was extraordinarily influential in the seven hundred years after its creation, generating new versions and adaptations in various languages, ranging from sixteenth-century English adaptations by Wynken de Worde and Thomas Lodge to Giacomo Meyerbeer’s esteemed 1831 opera. Framed by a thoughtful introduction and thorough bibliography, this accessible translation renders the original octosyllabic rhymed couplets of the metrical Old French romance in energetic free verse.

Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A New York Times Editor’s Choice | A Kirkus Best Nonfiction Book of the Year The Inspiration for the HBO Original Documentary South to Black Power From journalist and New York Times bestselling author Charles Blow comes a powerful manifesto and call to action, "a must-read in the effort to dismantle deep-seated poisons of systemic racism and white supremacy" (San Francisco Chronicle). Race, as we have come to understand it, is a fiction; but, racism, as we have come to live it, is a fact. The point here is not to impose a new racial hierarchy, but to remove an existing one. After centuries of waiting for white majorities to overturn white supremacy, it seems to me that it has fallen to Black people to do it themselves. Acclaimed columnist and author Charles Blow never wanted to write a “race book.” But as violence against Black people—both physical and psychological—seemed only to increase in recent years, culminating in the historic pandemic and protests of the summer of 2020, he felt compelled to write a new story for Black Americans. He envisioned a succinct, counterintuitive, and impassioned corrective to the myths that have for too long governed our thinking about race and geography in America. Drawing on both political observations and personal experience as a Black son of the South, Charles set out to offer a call to action by which Black people can finally achieve equality, on their own terms. So what will it take to make lasting change when small steps have so frequently failed? It’s going to take an unprecedented shift in power. The Devil You Know is a groundbreaking manifesto, proposing nothing short of the most audacious power play by Black people in the history of this country. This book is a grand exhortation to generations of a people, offering a road map to true and lasting freedom.
