In the early 1980s on a remote part of the Sudanese coast, a new luxury holiday resort opened for business. Catering for divers, it attracted guests from around the world. Little did the holidaymakers know that the staff were undercover spies, working for the Mossad - the Israeli secret service. Providing a front for covert night-time activities, the holiday village allowed the agents to carry out an operation unlike any seen before. What began with one cryptic message pleading for help, turned into the secret evacuation of thousands of Ethiopian Jews....

Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs.

Throughout history, from the ancient pages of the Bible to the present day, heroes have risen to the call of destiny, facing overwhelming challenges with unwavering courage. Just as King David walked through the valley of the shadow of death, fearing no evil and finding strength in faith, modern-day heroes confront the trials of our time with a similar resolve. This book draws powerful parallels between these timeless acts of bravery and the heroic efforts witnessed during the events of October 7th.

Five-year-old Milad Salama is excited for a school trip to a theme park on the outskirts of Jerusalem. On the way, his bus collides with a semitrailer. His father, Abed, gets word of the crash and rushes to the site. The scene is chaos—the children have been taken to different hospitals in Jerusalem and the West Bank; some are missing, others cannot be identified. Abed sets off on an odyssey to learn Milad’s fate. It is every parent’s worst nightmare, but for Abed it is compounded by the maze of physical, emotional, and bureaucratic obstacles he must navigate because he is Palestinian.

Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 2 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey reads the prehistoric story of human civilization that can be studied in the language of ceremonial rites, ancient customs, and ritual dance, and consequently explores the resultant concept that religion evolved out of expressions of human fertility and sexuality–particularly as embodied in the primeval symbols of blood, sacrifice, and motherhood–and formed the first influences on Judeo-Christianity.

It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs.

Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 7 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explains how Egyptian wisdom–which greatly concerns itself with matters of the womb and birth, water, and the offspring of gods–was appropriated by the Hebrew holy books, and explains how the Hebrew account of creation is a clear repetition of Egyptian mythology.

Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 4 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey discusses the Egyptian Book of the Dead as the “pre-Christian word of God,” and explores the idea that Amenta, the threshold to the Egyptian underworld, is the first overt expression of a human desire for a noncorporeal afterlife. Massey goes on to connect the “mystery of the mummy” to “the mystery of the Christ” by likening the Christian dogma of physical resurrection to the Egyptian impetus for mummification.

Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 3 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explains how the original elemental spirits of early humans were transformed into deities, and how the concept of a “soul” developed from animalistic representations of natural forces.

Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 1 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey argues that “primitive man” found no human agency in the phenomena of the natural world, which led to a woeful misinterpretation of Egyptian hieroglyphics by the Greeks and Romans as well as a misunderstanding of the essence of Egyptian mythology. As a consequence, Massey contends, a deep fount of wisdom of the ancients has been lost, and he goes on to reveal how it can be rediscovered.

The origin of a saviour in the guise of a little child is traceable to Child-Horus, who brought new life to Egypt every year as the Messu of the inundation. This was Horus in his pre-solar and pre-human characters of the fish, the shoot of the papyrus, or the branch of the endless years. In a later stage the image of Horus on his papyrus represented the young god as solar cause in creation.

Recognizing that Israeli-Jewish and Palestinian-Arab societies coexist and are engaged in constant relations, Nahum Karlinsky has assembled an impressive array of contributors to explore these diasporas alongside one another and in dialogue with other diasporic communities.

Una revisión de las mentiras que enturbian la comprensión de un conflicto aparentemente irresoluble. ¿Es Israel culpable de un genocidio palestino? ¿O el causante de que vivamos en un mundo cada vez más inseguro? Amplios sectores del mundo intelectual y de los medios de comunicación suelen responder afirmativamente a estas preguntas, una mentalidad que intoxica a buena parte de la opinión pública falseando los hechos y distorsionando la realidad de Israel.

Before there was Madonna or Beyoncé, there was Googoosh. For the first time, one of the biggest pop stars of the 20th century tells her remarkable story: her rise to fame in pre-revolution Iran, her arrest and imprisonment, her twenty-year exile, and finally, her triumphant return to the global stage.

Before the revolution, the Shah of Iran seemed invincible. The world watched in awe as he commanded a huge army and oversaw an economy awash with billions of dollars of oil revenues. The regime’s secret police had crushed communist opposition and the Shah appeared to have bought off the conservative Muslim clergy inside the country. On the international stage, Iran had become an invaluable ally to the West during the Cold War.

Nell'estate 2014, in seguito al rapimento e all'uccisione di tre giovani coloni, Israele lancia l'operazione Protective Edge. La Striscia di Gaza diviene ancora una volta un luogo nel quale si incrociano i destini di persone molto differenti tra loro per età, nazionalità, religione e cultura. In dieci episodi, ognuno dei quali è un piccolo racconto a sé stante, nove esseri umani (e un fiore) raccontano le ragioni, i pensieri, il dolore di una guerra che sembra non avere fine.

In Tomorrow Is Yesterday, the analyst Hussein Agha and the diplomat Robert Malley offer a personal and bracing perspective on how the hopes of the Oslo Peace Process became the horrors of the present. Drawing on their experience advising the Palestinian leadership (Arafat and Abbas) and US presidents (Clinton, Obama, and Biden) and their participation in secret talks over decades, Agha and Malley offer candid portraits of leading figures and an interpretation of the conflict that exposes the delusions of all sides.

Since 2023, the best-selling and award-winning author and journalist has been reflecting, with deep empathy, on the horrific October 7th attacks on Israeli citizens, rising anti-Semitism, and the brutal violence against civilians in Gaza in her column for the Globe and Mail. As one of the leading Canadian voices on Jewish identity, Lederman’s impassioned work in the Globe has been a lifeline for listeners since October 7th, 2023. The work collected in this book captures the pain of so many: Marsha’s prose has a way of cutting through the noise and capturing the humanity behind the headlines

עמוס עוז משוטט פה ושם בארץ ישראל ומשוחח עם אנשים. הוא יצא למסע של הקשבה סובלנית ליריבים ולתמימים. והתוצאה – ספר מרתק המתעד תמונות חיות להפליא של ישראלים כאן ועכשיו, של אנשים חמי לב וחמי מזג המשמיעים באוזניו למן דברי חזון משיחי התנחלותי ועד להתפרצות של זעם עדתי, למן תורה כוחנית קיצונית ועד לתסכול ולתקווה של הפלסטינים. לקורא נדמה שוהא שומע במו אוזניו את יושבי בית הקפה הזועמים והנעלבים בבית שמש.

All’origine di questo libro c’è un viaggio che comincia in Israele e nei territori occupati della Palestina al principio del 2023 e prosegue – nella riflessione – nei mesi seguenti l’eccidio del 7 ottobre. Roberta De Monticelli vede rappresentato nella Palestina il luogo in cui prende forma esemplare e tragica uno dei paradossi su cui si regge la civiltà. Da quando esiste, il diritto è in tensione costante con la giustizia e con la forza e vige in virtù della politica che pure ne è vincolata e regolata – salvo farsi non solo cieca ma criminale.

In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the 4th century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity’s greatest empire. Constantinople would continue to serve as the capital of the Byzantine Empire even after the Western half of the Roman Empire collapsed in the late 5th century.

In early October 2023, Palestinian Plestia Alaqad was a recent graduate with dreams of becoming a successful journalist. By the end of November, she would be internationally known as the 'Eyes of Gaza'. Millions of people would be profoundly moved by her social media posts depicting daily life in Gaza amid Israel’s deadly invasion and bombardment. Through the raw honesty and vulnerability of a normal 22-year-old woman trying to make her way through a human tragedy, The Eyes of Gaza is a powerful call for peace.
