Sinopse

Statues Buried explores the captivating stories behind sculptures intentionally buried or lost to time, later rediscovered through archaeology. It delves into why ancient civilizations concealed these artworks, revealing insights into their cultures, beliefs, and power dynamics. Motivations ranged from iconoclasm and religious upheaval to protecting statues during war, offering a unique perspective on historical events.

It showcases how rediscovering buried statues reshapes our understanding of the past by challenging conventional historical interpretations. The book unfolds by first examining the motives for statue burial, then detailing the archaeological processes, and finally delving into the impact of these discoveries on art history and cultural heritage. Ultimately, the rediscovery of these statues serves as a potent act of historical recovery, connecting us to forgotten cultures.

    Abraham - The First Jew

    The story of Abraham, the first Jew, portrayed as two lives lived by one person, paralleling the contradictions in Judaism throughout its history 
     
     
      
    In this new biography of Abraham, Judaism's foundational figure, Anthony Julius offers an account of the origins of a fundamental struggle within Judaism between skepticism and faith, critique and affirmation, thinking for oneself and thinking under the direction of another. Julius describes Abraham's life as two separate lives, and as a version of the collective life of the Jewish people. 
     
     
      
    Abraham's first life is an early adulthood of questioning the polytheism of his home city of Ur Kasdim until its ruler, Nimrod, condemns him to death and he is rescued, he believes, by a miracle. In his second life, Abraham's focus is no longer on critique but rather on conversion and on his leadership over his growing household, until God's command that he sacrifice his son Isaac. This test, the Akedah (or "Binding"), ends with another miracle, as he believes, but as Julius argues, it is also a catastrophe for Abraham. The Akedah represents for him an unsurpassed horizon—and in Jewish life thereafter. This book focuses on Abraham as leader of the first Jewish project, Judaism, and the unresolvable, insurmountable crisis that the Akedah represents—both in his leadership and in Judaism itself.
