Synopsis

The I Ching, also known as the Book of Changes, is a foundational text of Chinese philosophy and esotericism, rooted in ancient wisdom that dates back over three millennia. This divinatory classic employs a unique system of hexagrams'Äîcomposed of broken and unbroken lines'Äîto offer profound insights into the dynamics of change and the natural order of the universe. Its literary style is both poetic and philosophical, interweaving metaphoric language with practical guidance, thereby inviting readers to engage in self-reflection and contemplation. As a text, the I Ching transcends mere fortune-telling, serving as a guide to moral wisdom and ethical decision-making within the context of Confucian and Daoist thought. The anonymity of its authorship adds to the allure and mystique of the I Ching, as it reflects the collective wisdom of various sages and scholars throughout Chinese history. Its origins are debated among scholars, but it is believed to have been compiled by figures such as Confucius and developed through centuries as a living philosophical framework. This depth of thought and the multilayered interpretations have inspired generations, influencing not just Chinese culture but also Western thought, particularly in the realms of psychology and literature. I highly recommend the I Ching to readers seeking to explore the intersections of fate, free will, and moral responsibility. Its timeless principles encourage introspection and adaptability, offering valuable lessons in navigating the complexities of life. Whether approached as a philosophical treatise or a practical guide for personal exploration, this text remains a vital resource for anyone interested in the pursuit of wisdom in an ever-changing world.

    Shortly before invading Ukraine in February 2022, President Vladimir Putin of Russia claimed that Russia and Ukraine were one nation artificially divided. In the previous year, he wrote an essay entitled On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians, in which claims that modern Ukraine is an “anti-Russian project,” a monstrosity turning its back on its heritage and borrowing culture for the corrupt West. This assessment may ring true to many Westerners, many of whom are unaware of the aspirations to Ukrainian nationhood until it declared its independence from the dying Soviet Union on August 24, 1991. 
    The Russian Federation and Ukraine do indeed share a common heritage, but their history and culture led them along divergent paths. Many readers might be surprised to learn that the historical center of Russia was not Moscow, but Kiev, the capital of modern Ukraine. In the 9th century, Norse traders and warriors, known as Varangians, settled along the Dnieper, Volga and other rivers between the Baltic and Black Seas. They imposed themselves – or, according to Russian folklore – were invited – upon the Slav inhabitants. According to The Primary Chronicle, a history written by the Varangians themselves, they brought order to a troubled land: “They said to themselves, ‘Let us seek a prince who may rule over us, and judge us according to the Law.” They accordingly went overseas to the Varangian Rus'. … The Chuds, the Slavs, the Krivichs and the Ves then said to the Rus', “Our land is great and rich, but there is no order in it. Come to rule and reign over us.’ They thus selected three brothers with their kinfolk, who took with them all the Rus' and migrated.”

    From the beginning, Rambo was more than a character in a 1972 novel by David Morrell. He was the culmination of the author's personal encounters with veterans returning from the Vietnam War. The 1982 movie adaptation of First Blood reflected the novel's powerful insights into a troubled veteran's postwar experience. Then in 1985, the film's explosive sequel Rambo: First Blood Part II transformed the character into something shockingly different. With a focus on blood-and-guts action, Rambo became an invincible one-man army. A new kind of hero for a new day in America. A pop-culture icon as controversial as he was crowd-pleasing—blasting his way through the influential action film franchise in Hollywood history. The Rambo legend was born. 
     
     
     
    Five feature films. Three novels. Seven video games. Countless comic books, action figures, and even an animated show for kids. The Rambo machine has been as unstoppable as Rambo himself. Now for the first time, Hollywood insider Nat Segaloff digs deep into the man, the myth, and the massive impact of the phenomenon known as "The Rambo Effect." Packed with behind-the-scenes anecdotes, cultural insights, and debates about violence in the media, this is an explosive no-holds-barred report from the front lines of Hollywood mythmaking. A must-listen for Rambo fans, movies buffs, and anyone interested in American culture.
