There has been no shortage of writings detailing an incompatibility between Jewish and Gentile peoples from a variety of sources and perspectives. Many of these fade with the circumstances that sparked them, but a few make lasting contributions to the understanding of millennia of conflict. Preserved by his own stature as a titan of Jewish literature, Maurice Samuel authored You Gentiles (1924), which persists as one of the most visceral and fundamental contrasts of Jews and non-Jews. Samuel writes with confidence as the recipient of several awards for his writing including the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award and the Itzik Manger Prize. With reference to his own deep familiarity with the collective Jewish experience, Samuel makes no qualifications for his belief in the spiritual, racial, and religious incompatibility of Gentiles with his own people. His thesis culminates in the ultimate rejection of any possible reconciliation between these two peoples.Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present Maurice Samuels You Gentiles. With a foreword by evolutionary psychologist Kevin MacDonald, this piece is vital to understanding the conflict between the Jewish and the Gentile peoples.

"A woman falls for a K-pop star at a distance in this thoughtful romance for the online age." THE GUARDIAN Its as if her life only began once Moon appeared in it. The desultory copywriting work, the boyfriend, and the want of anything not-Moon quickly fall away when she beholds the idol in concert, where Moon dances as if his movements are creating their own gravitational field; on live streams, as fans from around the world comment in dozens of languages; even on skincare products endorsed by the wildly popular Korean boy band, of which Moon is the youngest, most luminous member. Seized by ineffable desire, our unnamed narrator begins writing Y/N fanficin which you, the reader, insert [Your/Name] and play out an intimate relationship with the unattainable star. Then Moon suddenly retires, vanishing from the public eye. As Y/N flies from Berlin to Seoul to be with Moon, our narrator, too, journeys to Korea in search of the object of her love. There, an escalating series of mistranslations and misidentifications land her at the headquarters of the Kafkaesque entertainment company that manages the boyband until, at a secret location, together with Moon at last, art and real life approach their final convergence. From a conspicuous new talent comes Y/N, a provocative literary debut about the universal longing for transcendence and the tragic struggle to assert ones singular story amidst the amnesiac effects of globalization. Crackling with the intellectual sensitivity of Elif Batuman and the sinewy absurdism of Thomas Pynchon, Esther Yis prose unsettles the boundary between high and mass art, exploding our expectations of a novel about "identity" and offering in its place a sui generis picture of the loneliness that afflicts modern life.

Wuthering Heights is an 1847 novel by Emily Bronte, initially published under her pen name Ellis Bell. It concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the West Yorkshire moors, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent relationships with Earnshaws foster son, Heathcliff. The novel was influenced by Romanticism and Gothic fiction.Wuthering Heights is now considered a classic of English literature, but contemporaneous reviews were polarised. It was controversial for its depictions of mental and physical cruelty, and for its challenges to Victorian morality and religious and societal valuesWuthering Heights was accepted by publisher Thomas Newby along with Anne Brontes Agnes Grey before the success of their sister Charlottes novel Jane Eyre, but they were published later. Charlotte edited a second edition of Wuthering Heights after Emilys death which was published in 1850. It has inspired an array of adaptations across several media, including English singer-songwriter Kate Bushs song of the same name.

Considered lurid and shocking by mid-19th-century standards, Wuthering Heights was initially thought to be such a publishing risk that its author, Emily Bronte, was asked to pay some of the publication costs.Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherines father. After Mr Earnshaws death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherines brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.A fiend of a book an incredible monster... The action is laid in hell, only it seems places and people have English names there. Dante Gabriel RossettiA monument of the most striking genius that nineteenth-century womanhood has given us. Clement ShorterThe greatest work of fiction by any man or woman Europe has produced to date. Anthony LudoviciThere is no "I" in Wuthering Heights. There are no governesses. There are no employers. There is love, but it is not the love of men and women. Emily was inspired by some more general conception. The impulse which urged her to create was not her own suffering or her own injuries. She looked out upon a world cleft into gigantic disorder and felt within her the power to unite it in a book. Virginia Woolf

Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontes only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors on which the story centres (as an adjective, wuthering is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather). The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.

Emily Brontes haunting tale of love and revenge, rivetingly retold for todays readers, remains as powerful and gripping as the day it was first written. High on the windswept Yorkshire moors, an old farmhouse hides dark secrets. What is the strange history of Wuthering Heights? Why has Heathcliff, its mysterious owner, cut himself off from the world - and who is the unearthly girl wandering the moors at night?
