Not that I know of sis, sorry. I purchased it from a bookshop in Qom so not sure how accessible that is for you.  However there are some other good sources online,  I'll try and find some and pm them to you once you make 3 more posts and can use the pm function, InshAllah.

Fair enough, although if you read it, you might take a liking to the adeptly employed sarcasm and wit and and how Austen uses the plot and the characters to  make fun of the face fanning society herself. And if not, well you can continue with your "Shut up Caroline" stance :P

" Social Psychology and Human Nature " - Roy F. Baumeister and Brad J. Bushman
I define Islam for you in a way that nobody dared to do it before me. Islam means obedience to Allah, obedience to Allah means having sincere faith in Him, such a faith means to believe in His powr, belief in His powr means recognizing and accepting His majesty, acceptance of His Majesty means fulfilling the obligations laid down by Him and fulfillment of obligations means actions (Therefore, Islam does not mean mere faith, but faith PLUS deeds). - Imam Ali (AS)

Greetings mjab6709,

Would that be the same as;
Jesus: Through the Qur'an and Shi'ite Narrations
Mahdi Muntazir Qa'im

This also sounds like it would be good reading;
War, Peace, and Non-Violence: An Islamic Perspective
Imam Muhammad Shirazi
I came across it when I was looking for the one you mentioned.
Let us seek Truth
Judge, we must, each man by his own deeds, and not by the ideology which he proclaims. - C.Lynn

The Palace of Dreams by Ismail Kadare

Translated from Albanian by Barbara Bay

Nabokov's and Kafka's books were out of stock, I heard today. So they delivered the rest. I think I'm gonna start with Ismail Kadare novel. I have heard a lot of praise for this work. Albanian novel - that's not usually advertised enough.
