The Traveler and the Innkeeper by Fāḍil ʻAzzāwī Pdf
From the Iraqi author of Cell Block Five. This timely, elegant novel's hero is an Iraqi secret police inspector who routinely uses enhanced interrogation techniques, which even he considers torture. Convinced that he is protecting society from anarchy, he is at peace with the world until ordered to interrogate a childhood friend, a journalist with possible links to violent subversives. Then he falls in love with his friend's wife. The plot of this novel, which was written in Iraq in 1976 and published in Arabic in Germany in 1989, is further complicated by street protests in Baghdad following the Six-Day Arab-Israeli War of June 1967. Despite the grim subject matter of this novel, it is at heart a love story, lyrically narrated.
Here is the new, completely updated and expanded edition of the indispensable handbook used throughout the hospitality industry since The Laws of Innkeepers first appeared in 1972. Containing all the legal information essential to the successful operation of modern hotels, motels, inns, bed-and-breakfasts, clubs, restaurants, and resorts, the book has been extensively revised by John E. H. Sherry to accomodate the far-reaching changes that have occured since the publication of the revised edition in 1981. Sherry, a practicing lawyer and professor of hotel administration, carries over from the highly praised earlier editions detailed information on the rights and responsibilities of host and guest alike. He cites actual cases--ranging from the amusing and the bizarre to the tragic--as examples, and spells out in precise and readily understandable terms exactly what state and federal law says. Broadening the scope of the book to keep up with recent legal developments, the author includes many new case decisions and sumamries from various jurisdictions. Three chapters devoted to employment law, environmental law and land use, and catastrophic risk liability are among the highlights of the new material. These new sections present recent rulings and case law on such timely topics as age, disability, and AIDS discrimination, as well as sexual harassment; government regulation of toxic and hazardous substances and hotel and resort development; and acts of God and the Public Enemy and terrorism.
Ciro and Jacob were innkeepers when Emperor Caesar Augustus decreed that a census be taken of the whole Roman Empire. It happened that their Inn was in Bethlehem, where a young couple named Joseph and Mary were to register. The Innkeeper's Wife encapsulates the Christmas story, as it tells about relationships that were born on the same night Mary delivered her first child, Jesus. This is the ongoing tale about Ciro and Jacob who gave shelter to Joseph and Mary though their Inn was overflowing and beyond full. It is story of two people as they loved and cared for a very special family. Maritie Wellbrock graduated from Beaver College with a major in religious education. She married Anton, who became a pastor later in life. She has been with him to India on short-term mission work. For years their home has been opened to people from many places for ministry, prayer, teaching and outreach. Maritie has the gift of hospitality, and sometimes thinks of herself as the innkeeper's wife
Many of the greatest stories in the Bible leave us yearning for more details. This author has written a story involving the family from the Bethlehem Inn during the year before the birth of Jesus. Jesus' birth brings about a dramatic change in the inkeeper's life, who is perhaps the first convert to Jesus. The year before Jesus is born in Bethlehem, Zaham the innkeeper hires a traveling builder to convert a feed storage room at the back of the inn to a secret room for his valuables. The oldest son, Jubal, is a traveling courier who comes upon a young woman alone at night on the road north of Bethsaida. her name is Kerith and she is the only member of an extended family to escape abduction by a band of Roman army deserters. This entire group travels by horseback east into the unknown toward Babylon, eventually bound for Egypt. Jubal and Kerith fall in love, marry and walk home to Bethlehem. They find lodging with a couple in Nazareth (Joseph and Mary), for two night. At home in Bethlehem Kerith is popular with all except Jubal's parents. by winter, Jubal reckons the band holding Kerith's family may cross the salt sea to the south heading west. he makes an excuse for business to leave home and travels south to the wells at Punon, the area's main water source south of the salt sea. He learns a band resembling the one he seeks passed by four days before. Jubal pursues the group on a camel and finally catches up to them days later at dusk. he attacks the enemy by cutting loose their tethered mounts and frightens them into stampeding over the camp of sleeping men. he frees Kerith's parents and the three of them and the camel begin walking north for Bethlehem. When Joseph and Mary arrive in Bethlehem for the census, Zaham refuses to even talk about a room for them. Kerith takes them to an animal shelter in a cave behind her house because her own house is full of travelers, some of whom are ill. Kerith makes them as comfortable as possible and calls in a midwife. The angel who first talked to Mary, then Joseph, appears to them and assures them all will be well and Jesus is born at that time. Meanwhile, Zaham had a bad day because of a promise by Johannan the census taker to reward him with extra money and a gold piece for the use of his secret room was cancelled due to a disagreement with a courtesan. She leaves Johanan abruptly, and Johanan leaves Bethlehem for Jerusalem. Zaham is beside himself with anger and self-pity. Sleepless, he decides to murder his family, commit suicide, and end everyone's misery at once. the angel appears to Zaham in his bedroom. He shows him the error of his ways and points out how all the things that he dislikes are actually projects that needed to be accomplished, including the secret room, for the safety of the holy family. Zaham finally sees the light and commits himself and his family to the well-being of Jesus' early years.
