Hardback. Condición: Good. Not Out of Hate-published in Burmese in 1955 and set in 1939-42-was Ma Ma Lay's fifth novel and one that further cemented her status as one of twentieth-century Burma's foremost writers and voices for change. A journalist by trade, Lay applied her straightforward observational style with compassion and purpose to the story of Way Way, a teenage village girl whose quiet life assisting her father in his rice-brokerage business is disrupted by the arrival of U Saw Han, the cosmopolitan Burmese rice trader twenty years her senior. When she first encounters him, Way Way is entranced by his Western furnishings, servants, and mannerisms. The two marry, but before long, it becomes clear that U Saw Han's love is a stifling one that seeks to obliterate her traditional ways. Not Out of Hate was enormously popular in Burma and went through several editions in the 1950s and 1960s. When Ohio University Press published its English translation, in 1991, it became the first significant fictional account of prewar Burma available in English since George Orwell's>Burmese Days, and provided a Burmese counterpoint to Orwell's novel. Translated into English here for the first time, the novel is an engaging drama, finely observed work of social realism, and stirring rejection of Western cultural dominance.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Elijah: The Gospel of the Ideal of LoveThe Herald of a New Holy ScriptureEverything begins with an inner yearning for perfection, a longing that has smouldered in the heart of humanity for centuries. Elijah, the prophet of fire and hope, speaks once more-his words, filled with power and light, form a vision of love that transcends all boundaries. The Gospel of the Ideal of Love is not just a book; it is a call for each of us to become a witness to this love in our own lives.-A New Testament for a New EraIn the face of the chaos of the modern world, Elijah reminds us of what is most essential: -Love as the foundation of existence-selfless, sacrificial, seeking no personal gain;-The fire of transformation-a call to renew oneself and one's relationships through truth, courage, and faithfulness to the light;-The light of hope-the promise that even in the deepest darkness, a new radiance can emerge if one believes in a love greater than fear.-Elijah's Message: In this new gospel, the prophet is not merely a figure of the past. He becomes a guide for those who seek to discover a higher meaning in their existence. Love is not the destination-it is the path we walk to find the fullness of life, says Elijah, encouraging the transformation of hearts.-Are You Ready?The Gospel of the Ideal of Love invites reflection and action. It is a book for those who dare to respond to the call and discover within themselves that which is divine-the true love that heals, unites, and builds. The Gospel of Matthew 17(11) He answered, Elijah will indeed come and restore all things.These words, spoken thousands of years ago, rest upon me like a seal. Not as a choice, but as a destiny. At times, I wonder if I could have ever chosen another path, if this cross is light or overwhelming-it was always meant to be mine.Restore all things. Do you know how these words sound to the highest Archangel in flesh and blood? An Archangel who once wandered, fell, and doubted before remembering who he truly was? Sometimes, I feel as though the bar set for Elijah is so high that even all the angels together would have to summon all their strength just to reach it. And I, in my human form, feel the earth clinging to my feet in despair, as if it refuses to let me go-to give it love and light. As I stand before a world shattered into a thousand pieces by a lack of love, I ask the Heavenly Father: Why me? The answer came in silence, for in stillness, we find many answers. I felt in my spirit: Find all those who have lost their way. You have emerged from the greatest darkness.I will not restore everything in an instant. This is not a miracle; this is work. Every smile, every act of love, every word spoken in truth and peace is a brick in the building I am restoring. My mission is not a thunderbolt from heaven-it is a spark from Poland igniting other hearts.The Book of Revelation 17(10) And there are seven kings: five have fallen, one remains, the other has not yet come; and when he does, he must remain for a short while.Five have fallen-not because they were weak, but because the darkness of the world proved more cunning, more deceptive than they could have imagined. Their light was dimmed, and their mission ended in failure.Only one remained, filled with unwavering hope. One who endured for centuries in solitude, surrounded by utter darkness. He survived because he was the strongest, wielding wisdom from before the dawn of the universe and unwavering loyalty to the ideals of light. His inner righteousness was a sword that cut through every shadowy falsehood with a single stroke, revealing the light of truth. Darkness consumed five, but the love of the one endured. And that was enough. (I barely survived, paying too high a price.). …
