Beschreibung

"Statues Hidden" unearths the captivating stories behind sculptures deliberately concealed throughout history, revealing how these acts reflect significant societal shifts, religious transformations, or political unrest.

 
The book posits that hiding a statue is rarely arbitrary but a meaningful act offering insights into lost cultures and the complex interplay between art, power, and belief. For example, statues were sometimes buried as part of religious rituals, signifying deeper symbolic meanings, or hidden to protect them from invaders, highlighting the vulnerability of artistic heritage during conflict.

 
The book embarks on an exploration of diverse case studies, beginning with the motivations behind statue concealment, such as religious iconoclasm and political censorship. It then progresses to examine statues buried in religious rituals, sculptures hidden from invaders, and examples of defacement followed by concealment.

 
By drawing upon archaeological reports, historical documents, and art historical analyses, "Statues Hidden" provides a comprehensive account, while also addressing ethical considerations involved in unearthing and interpreting these hidden artifacts. This approach offers readers a meticulously researched and accessible narrative suitable for a wide audience interested in art, history, and archaeology.

Empedocles - The Four Elements...

Hector Davidson

Empedocles, a philosopher and poet from the ancient Greek city of Acragas (modern-day Agrigento, Sicily), lived during the 5th century BCE and is often regarded as one of the most original thinkers of his time. His life and works remain an intriguing fusion of science, mysticism, and poetry. Though much of what we know about Empedocles comes from fragments of his writings, his ideas have had a profound and lasting influence on philosophy, science, and even religion.
Empedocles is best known for his theory of the four elements—earth, air, fire, and water—which he posited as the fundamental building blocks of the universe. Unlike his predecessors, who sought to explain the world through a singular substance (such as water for Thales or air for Anaximenes), Empedocles argued that these four elements combined and separated through two cosmic forces: Love (Philia) and Strife (Neikos). Love brings the elements together, fostering harmony and unity, while Strife pulls them apart, creating division and chaos. This cyclical process of combination and separation underlies the ongoing changes in the cosmos.
In addition to his materialistic philosophy, Empedocles incorporated spiritual and mystical elements into his worldview. He believed in the transmigration of souls, suggesting that human beings and other living creatures are bound to an endless cycle of reincarnation. According to Empedocles, the soul is trapped in a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, and it can achieve liberation through purification and virtuous living. His philosophical system thus integrated both natural and ethical concerns, urging individuals to live in harmony with the forces of the cosmos and pursue a life of virtue.

Aliens - The Chequered History...

Paul Dowswell

The welcome given to refugees from fascist Europe is part of our fond nostalgia for Britain's role in the Second World War, nestling in our imagination next to images of evacuees clutching teddy bears, and milkmen picking their way through bomb rubble during the Blitz. But there is a darker side to this story. Then, as now, there was great suspicion, resentment and fear towards new arrivals, much of it kindled by the tabloid press. Then, as now, politicians dealt with a reluctance to accommodate refugees by hiding behind bureaucratic hurdles and obfuscation.
Many of the 10,000 Kindertransport children who arrived here in the late 1930s have warm memories of the kindness they were shown, but half a million refugees were refused entry and most of them died as a result. And those who were accepted found their troubles far from over. While Britain fearfully awaited invasion in 1940, 30,000 Jews were interned as 'enemy aliens' and some were sent off to the colonies on dangerous and sometimes fatal voyages. Nor were Jews the only refugees clamouring for the thin gruel of public sympathy. Those fleeing fascism and civil war elsewhere in Europe found that whether they were met with kindness or hostility depended on the locals' political affiliations and newspapers of choice.
Interweaving personal testimonies with historical sources, Paul Dowswell casts a fresh eye on the wartime era, painting a vivid picture of what life was really like for Britain's refugees.
