The second novel of a major new Feist acquisition, returning to his best-loved series. Written with Joel Rosenberg.The second Riftwar collaboration, Murder in LaMut, written by masters of fantasy Raymond E. Feist and Joel Rosenburg.The heavy action was supposedly at Crydee these days which meant that the one place they could be sure the three of them were not going was Crydee. Come spring, the privateer Melanie was due in Ylith, and its captain could be counted on for a swift conveyance away for sure, and likely not to murder them in their sleep.That would be bad for business.But away where?That wasn't Durine's worry. Kethol would surely be able to find the three of them somebody who needed men who knew which part of the sword you used to cut with and which part you used to butter your bread, and Pirojil would be able to negotiate a price at least half again what the employer was ready to pay. All Durine would have to do was kill people.That was fine with him.Durine, Kethol and Pirojil are three mercenaries who have spent twenty years fighting other people's battles: against the Tsurani and the Bugs and the goblins, and now it seems they've run out of Tsurani, Bugs and goblins to kill. The prospect of a few months of garrison duty offers a welcome respite; but then they are given an assignment that seems, on the surface, like cushy work – to protect a lady and her husband and deliver them safely to the city of Lamut.It should all have been so simple…Raymond E. Feist is the author of the bestselling and critically acclaimed Riftwar Saga, the Serpentwar Saga and the epic Krondor series.Joel Rosenberg is best-known for The Guardian of the Flame sequence. His other fantasy work includes D'Shai novels and the Keeper of the Hidden Ways series.

Provides in-depth analysis of six films of Jewish experience made between 1899 and 1947, exploring their relation to what the authors calls the "era of catastrophe," which is defined as 1914-45—a time that witnessed the two World Wars, a burgeoning of stateless peoples, wide-spread political polarization, the rise of fascist and totalitarian regimes; radical antisemitism and other ethnic hatreds; mass slaughter of peoples, classes, and political enemies; and often cutthroat battles for control of mass media, popular culture, and, however battered, the public sphere. The author analyzes the film depiction of Jewish experience to assess the public mood in certain civil societies that witnessed the rise and fall of Nazism and the advent of the Holocaust. The films analyzed are: L’Affaire Dreyfus (1899); The Golem: How He Came into the World (1920); The Dybbuk (1937); To Be or Not To Be (1942); and Gentleman’s Agreement (1947)—the last read in tandem with its film-noir alter-ego of the same year, Crossfire. The author explores the films in the reverse historical order pursued in the present study: (1) early postwar America; (2) America upon its entry into World War II; (3) inter-War Polish Jewry; (4) the World War I era and the early Weimar period in Germany; and (5) the rise of political antisemitism in fin de siècle France. By looking at how Jewish experience was comprehended in key films at those junctures, one can learn a great deal about a period of profound historical crisis, whose turmoil expressed the larger crises of modernity itself.
