Loyalty is put to a cruel test on the streets of Shanghai, where Jewish silk merchant Saul Heleevie tries to save his long-time Chinese business partner from a false accusation of abomination in relation to his mother's suicide and the brutal and corrupt penal system seeking to punish him. Meanwhile in the imperial palace, love and deception entwine as the "Virtuous Concubine" Yehenala contrives to bear the opium-eating, syphilitic emperor's only son in an effort to lay the foundation for her elevation to the pinnacle power in China as the formidable empress dowager. This compelling saga of nineteenth-century China is filled with "intricate shuttlecock diplomacy, ceremonial battle action, family saga romance--all polished to an entertaining high gloss" (Kirkus Reviews).

Worship of the Dead Tennō. Ancestor Worship in Traditions, Rites and Politics
Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Japanology, grade: 1,3, University of Tubingen (Asien-Orient-Wissenschaften, Japanologie), language: English, abstract: This master thesis aims to answer the following questions: What role does the Je-System play in the veneration of ancestor in Japan? How did the syncretism of Shint繹 and Buddhism beliefs regarding ancestor worship come to be? What are the differences in imperial ancestor rites between 1901 and now? Did imperial ancestor veneration increase after the Meiji Restoration and, if so, to what extent? 1s Japanese ancestor worship and its rites 'tradition' or rather 'invented tradition'? Ancestor worship is a unique belief system that can affect various aspects of life. Whether one believes in the afterlife or reincarnation, in fate or karma or even in creating one's own destiny, the belief in past family members or respected individuals of past times can be bent and mended to one's own needs and circumstances. Maybe it is the memory of their lives and the love they granted their descendants, maybe it is the respect and admiration for the lives and achievements they left behind or maybe less positive reasonings lead people to venerate their dead, for example wanting to appease malicious souls that might influence their descendant's lives negatively. Some might say these differences are dependent on the region or religion. The author would argue that it is dependent on families or even individuals. But surely, general tendencies can be identified in different regions and religions of the world. While ancestor worship might have some religious aspects at its' core, one cannot argue, that it is not also a socially and culturally influenced belief system. There might be people that still visit their parents' graves, even though they are not religious or don't believe in a higher power. Likewise, there might be some that identify as very religious, and still do not venerate their ancest
Instructed Second Language Acquisition of Arabic
Instructed Second Language Acquisition of Arabic examines the acquisition of agreement asymmetries in the grammatical system of Arabic as a second/foreign language through the lens of instructed second language acquisition. The book explores how to improve the processes of L2 learning of Arabic using evidence-based classroom research. Before it does this, it characterizes the variable challenges that English L2 learners of Arabic face when they acquire four structural cases in Arabic grammar that entail agreement asymmetries. Using the pretest-posttest design, it examines the effects of four classroom interventions using quantitative and qualitative measures. In these interventions, form-based and meaning-based measures were used to reveal to what degree learners have developed explicit and implicit knowledge of these aspects of asymmetry. In the concluding chapter, the book provides focused and specific implications based on the results of the four studies. It provides theoretical implications that enrich the discussions of instructed second language Acquisition in Arabic and other languages more broadly. It also provides implications for teachers, curriculum designers, and textbook writers of Arabic. This book will be informative for Arabic applied linguists, researchers of Arabic SLA, Arabic instructors (at the K-12 and the college level), and Arabic program directors and coordinators. The book will also appeal to all SLA and ISLA researchers.
