March 2021Collector's Edition of Can Xue's Works: Huangni Street
by Can Xue
"Huang Ni Street" is Can Xue's debut novel. The work describes people on a street and many things on Huangni Street. Huangni Street is always dirty, even the rain is gray. Can Xue made a detailed description of this street, but this description is different from the description of ordinary writers, with a big jump in thinking and no consistent storyline. There are simple characters and simple stories. Can Xue's first novel constructed Can Xue's very significant writing characteristics later, and these rich images give readers a very special reading experience. Can Xue breaks the usual thinking and framework of traditional novels, and has the typical characteristics of Can Xue from the beginning.

The Barefoot Doctor
by Can Xue
The novel tells of the story about the growth of a barefoot doctor in a village. By means of the experiences of Sister Yi the barefoot doctor, Mi Yi, Hui Ju and other characters, the author manages to expose the real dependence relationship between man and nature, and between man and man, so as to construct a new kind of relationship in the future world from a brand-new perspective with lots of astounding descriptions. The scenes depicted in the novel belong to the future world, the plots, however, firmly stick to the reality. Thus the real and free conceptions in the novel are both down-to-earth and overwhelmingly shocking, from which every ordinary reader can find resonance and gain strength for life in it. Once again, the outlook of philosophy and nature of Can Xue has delicately and simply stood out in the novel in a literary way.

AUSGRABUNG DER STADT DAVIDS
by Ronny Reich
AUSGRABUNG DER STADT DAVIDS – Wo die Geschichte Jerusalems begann Von Ronny Reich Die archäologische Forschung der vergangenen 150 Jahre hat den südöstlichen Hügel Jerusalems, außerhalb der alten Stadtmauern, als die biblische Stadt Davids identifiziert. Die wachsende Erkenntnis, dass dieser Hügel tatsächlich der älteste Teil von Jerusalem ist, hat viele Gelehrte dazu bewegt, sie auzugraben. Seit den ersten Ausgrabungen 1867 von Charles Warren bis zur Gegenwart haben hier vierzehn archäologische Expeditionen Ausgrabungen vorgenommen, was die Stadt Davids zu einer der aktivsten Ausgrabungsstätten in Israel macht. Britische, deutsche, französische und israelische Teams haben hier unter vier verschiedenen Regierungen (ottomanisches Reich, britisches Mandat, jordanische Verwaltung und Israel) Ausgrabungen durchgeführt, was zu einer eindrucksvollen Ansammlung von Daten geführt hat. Einige dieser Fundstätten sind besonders wichtig, darunter der Siloam Tunnel, das Schaftsystem von Warren, die Schriften von Siloam, die Schriften von Theodotos und der Teich von Siloam. Jüngere Ausgrabungen an der Stadt Davids haben eindrucksvolle Funde von Befestigungen aus der mittleren Bronzezeit in der Nähe von Gihon Spring und Überreste des Teichs von Siloam ans Tageslicht gebracht, die zurück bis in die Periode des zweiten Tempels reichen. Der Tunnel von Siloam ist mittlerweile gründlich dokumentiert und untersucht worden. Dieses Buch beginnt mit einer chronologischen Übersicht über anderthalb Jahrhunderte von Ausgrabungen und Studien des Hügels der Stadt Davids. Es fasst anschließend die Geschichte des Hügels zusammen von prähistorischen Zeiten bis zum Ende der ottomanischen Periode. Es stellt eine aktuelle Zusammenfassung vergangener und jüngerer archäologischer Entdeckungen vor, von denen viele hier zum ersten Mal präsentiert werden und die unser Denken über die antike Geschichte Jerusalems dramatisch verändert haben. Ronny Reich nimmt seit über vierzig Jahren an Ausgrabungen und Studien von antiken Stätten in Jerusalem teil.Von 1969 bis 1978 nahm er an den von Professor Nahman Avigad geleiteten Ausgrabungen im jüdischen Viertel Jerusalems teil.Seit 1995 ist er Co-Direktor der Ausgrabungen in der Stadt Davids.Professor Reich verfügt über einen Abschluss der Hebrew University in Jerusalem, wo er seine Dissertation zum Ph.D. über jüdische Ritualbäder in der zweiten Tempelperiode verfasste.Seit 1995 ist er Professor für Archäologie an der Universität von Haifa.2000 erhielt er den Jerusalem Preis für archäologische Forschung. 27 x 22 cm, 382 Seiten, Hardcover, zahlreiche Schwarzweiß- und Farbillustrationen.

EXCAVANDO LA CIUDAD DE DAVID
by Ronny Reich
EXCAVANDO LA CIUDAD DE DAVID – El lugar en el que comenzף la historia de Jerusalיn Las investigaciones arqueológicas llevadas a cabo en los 150 últimos años han identificado a la colina sudoriental de Jerusalén, fuera de las murallas de la Ciudad Vieja, como la Ciudad de David bíblica. El reconocimiento cada vez mayor de que esta colina es efectivamente la parte más antigua de Jerusalén ha llevado a muchos estudiosos a excavarla. Desde las primeras excavaciones hechas por Charles Warren en 1867 hasta el presente, catorce expediciones arqueológicas han trabajado allí, lo que ha hecho que la Ciudad de David sea uno de los sitios más excavados de Israel. Equipos británicos, alemanes, franceses e israelíes han excavado en el lugar bajo cuatro autoridades diferentes: el gobierno otomano, el mandato británico, el gobierno jordano y el israelí y han producido una asombrosa cantidad de información. Algunos de estos restos son de importancia única, entre ellos el túnel de Ezequías, el sistema de túneles conocido como el pozo de Warren, la inscripción del túnel de Siloé, la inscripción de Teodoto, y el estanque de Siloé. Excavaciones recientes efectuadas en la Ciudad de David han revelado vestigios impresionantes de fortificaciones de la Edad de Bronce Medio alrededor de la fuente de Gihón y restos del estanque de Siloé, que datan del período del Segundo Templo. El túnel de Siloé ha sido ahora ampliamente documentado y estudiado. Este libro comienza por una reseña cronológica de un siglo y medio de excavaciones y de estudio de la colina de la Ciudad de David. Dicha reseña resume la historia de la colina, desde épocas prehistóricas hasta el final del período otomano. Presenta un resumen actualizado de hallazgos arqueológicos pasados y recientes, muchos de los cuales, que se presentan aquí por primera vez, han cambiado drásticamente lo que pensábamos acerca de la historia antigua de Jerusalén. Ronny Reich excava y estudia las antigüedades de Jerusalén hace ya más de cuarenta años. De 1969 a 1978 tomó parte en las excavaciones dirigidas por el catedrático Nahman Avigad en el Barrio Judío de Jerusalén. Desde 1995 ha sido co-director de las excavaciones en la Ciudad de David. El profesor Reich es egresado de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén, donde escribió su tesis de doctorado acerca de los baños rituales judíos en la época del Segundo Templo. Desde 1995 es catedrático de Arqueología en la Universidad de Haifa. En 2000 se le otorgó el Premio Jerusalén de Investigación Arqueológica. 27×22 cm, 382 páginas, edición en tapas duras, numerosas ilustraciones en blanco y negro y en color . por Ronny Reich
