Beschreibung

Danube River Mythology explores the profound spiritual and cultural significance of the Danube River throughout European history. It delves into how ancient societies perceived and revered the river, examining its role in religious beliefs, rituals, and the formation of cultural traditions. The book reveals how the Danube functioned not merely as a geographical feature but as a sacred entity, influencing the worldview of those living along its banks.For example, archaeological findings and textual accounts uncover evidence of water deities and river worship, illustrating the Danube's sacred status. The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from archaeology, religious studies, and history to offer a comprehensive understanding. It progresses through time, first examining pre-Roman and Roman-era beliefs, then exploring the adaptations and interactions with Christianity during the Middle Ages.Finally, it analyzes the river's depiction in modern art, literature, and its impact on present-day cultural identity and environmental awareness. Ultimately, the book emphasizes the enduring impact of the Danube on shaping cultural identities and belief systems, challenging traditional historical narratives by highlighting the profound influence of natural features on religious and cultural development.

    The Rothschilds KGB Masterspy...

    The UK’s Cambridge University Ring of Spies were the most dangerous agents the West has known, causing great damage to the intelligence services in the UK and US over more than half a century. Four double agents of the key Ring, Burgess, Maclean, Philby and Blunt were uncovered by 1979. Only two – a husband and wife team – escaped detection. This updated edition of The Fifth Man reveals that the last of the infamous spy ring were Lord (Victor) Rothschild of the grand banking dynasty and his wife Tess. 
    Professor Roland Perry exposes how they became super spies, working concurrently with British Intelligence, the KGB and Mossad. With information from the KGB’s finest master Control, Yuri Modin, devastating testimony from the former head of the KGB and Soviet military intelligence (the GRU), Ivan ‘The Terrible’ Serov, former UK Soviet Embassy spy, Vladimir Barkovsky and a raft of others. 
    After their WW2 espionage for Stalin, which helped defeat Hitler and the Nazis, the brilliantly deceptive Rothschilds went on spying for the Russians well into the Cold War. They contrived in a genius elevation of spy craft to divert suspicion from themselves to the innocent figure of MI5’s Director, Roger Hollis, and a score of others. 
    The Fifth Man update includes thirty more years of deep research in Russia, the UK, the US, France and Australia in the compilation of an extended and compelling narrative. According to the leading publisher of espionage books in the Cold War period, Pan Macmillan’s William Armstrong, this book explained the entire mystery of the main 20th Century British double agents. 
    In an additional expose here, Roland Perry makes a strong case beyond the circumstantial for naming Anthony Blunt, the fourth member of the Ring, as the bastard child of King George V. Blunt was an MI5 agent and curator of the Royal pictures working for his half-brother King George VI, and niece, Queen Elizabeth II.

    The history of Ukraine is a fascinating story of how cultures, political systems, religions, and power have met, intersected, morphed, and expanded. The region was relatively sparsely populated for much of ancient history, a wilderness of rivers, forests, and steppes, but that does not detract from the rich historical development of the region. A huge area, Ukraine is wedged between the continents of Asia and Europe, and its position as a crossroads ensured there was fierce competition for influence there. Historians have called the formation of Ukraine the “establishment of a unity among three zones…the ports of Crimea and the coast, the rich steppe heartland, and the forests,” based around the themes of “geography, ecology and culture.”  
    	Today’s Ukraine is a huge country, incorporating an area over 600,000 square kilometers and home to 42 million people. It stretches from the Crimean Peninsula on the Black Sea in the south to Belarus in the north, Russia to the east, and Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary to the west. The Dnieper River is the region’s key waterway, running into the Black Sea, while the Danube Delta also forms its border with modern-day Romania to the southwest. A steppe exists in the middle of the country while the Carpathian Mountains feature in the west. This geographical formation has influenced some of the country’s key historical developments, as well as the location of its major settlements. Kiev (known today as Kyiv) is, of course, the longstanding capital of the country, located on the Dnieper River in the central northern part of modern Ukraine. Lviv is another large city, located in the northwest near the border with Poland. Odessa is a seaside city on the Black Sea in Ukraine’s southwest, while Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk are major cities in the country’s east, close to the Russian border.
