Neuware - Mattan, the young son of a nomadic shepherd, sees the baby Jesus when he and his father follow the angel's directions to find the baby who is wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. Little Mattan is fascinated. His father is as well, as they wonder if this can really be the long-expected Jewish messiah. Mattan grows up protecting his father's flocks until he becomes blind after a ferocious battle with a wolf. He can no longer be a shepherd, and pulls out of depression through a new occupation that leads him to hear of Jesus again after many years. The climax occurs when Mattan's eyes are healed by the touch of Jesus, and the first eyes Mattan sees are the same captivating eyes that he first saw in Bethlehem's manger. Compelled by his love for his healer, Mattan becomes an outspoken follower of Jesus in a hostile environment. Historical and Biblical details are interwoven in this moving story, filled with real-life challenges of life and death, love and sadness, danger and mystery, and clashes between religion, culture, and political power.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Considering silk as a major force of cross-cultural interaction, this book examines the integration of silk production and consumption into various cultures in the pre-modern world.Silk has long been a global commodity that, because of its exceptional qualities, high value and relative portability, came to be traded over very long distances. Similarly, the silk industry - from sericulture to the weaving of cloth - was one of the most important fields of production in the medieval and early modern world. The production and consumption of silks spread from China to Japan and Korea and travelled westward as far as India, Persia and theByzantine Empire, Europe, Africa and the Americas. As contributors to this book demonstrate, in this process of diffusion silk fostered technological innovation and allowed new forms of organization of labour to emerge. Its consumption constantly reshaped social hierarchies, gender roles, aesthetic and visual cultures,as well as rituals and representations of power. Threads of Global Desire is the first attempt at considering a global history of silk in the pre-modern era. The book examines the role of silk production and use in various cultures and its relation to everyday and regulatory practices. It considers silk as a major force of cross cultural interaction through technological exchange and trade in finished and semi-finished goods. Silks mediated design and a taste for luxuries and were part of gifting practices in diplomatic and private contexts. Silk manufacturing also fostered thecirculation of skilled craftsmen, connecting different centres and regions across continents and linking the countryside to urban production.
