Sinopse

Greek Olympic Rituals explores the Ancient Olympic Games, revealing them as more than just athletic competitions. The book argues that they were a complex blend of sports history, religious rituals honoring Zeus, and political displays among Greek city-states. Intriguingly, a sacred truce, the ekecheiria, was observed, allowing safe passage to Olympia, highlighting the Games' role in maintaining peace. The pursuit of arete, or excellence, drove athletes, reflecting core Greek values. The book uniquely connects athletic events with religious and political dimensions, emphasizing their interdependence. It examines religious practices like sacrifices and oaths, political strategies employed by city-states, and the athletic training regimens. Beginning with the Games' historical and religious context, it progresses through religious rituals, political uses, and athletic competitions, ultimately considering their decline and lasting impact. Drawing on archaeological findings, inscriptions, and ancient texts, the book offers a comprehensive view of this pivotal institution in world history.

The Storm of Steel is a first-hand account of World War I trench combat lifted from the diaries of Ernst Jünger, a German infantryman who would become one of Europe's most renowned writers.

The book was first translated into English in 1929 by Basil Creighton, the acclaimed translator of many other classic works of German literature, and was widely hailed as a masterpiece. To many, The Storm of Steel remains the definitive account of World War I, following Jünger through several major battles as he develops from an eager young soldier into a battle-hardened officer.

In just a blink of geological time, the human species spread out from Africa and colonised every corner of the globe, and subjugated the new environments they came across to their will. How did humanity become so dominant so quickly? And what did they then do with this new power?
