Akhnaton King of Egypt

Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky

Beschreibung

Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky's "Akhnaton, King of Egypt" is a profound historical novel that delves into the life and reign of Akhnaton, the pharaoh who dared to alter the religious landscape of ancient Egypt. Written in a modernist literary style, the narrative unfolds through rich, poetic prose that captures the psychological complexities of its characters, interweaving historical facts with imaginative interpretation. This work stands out within the context of early 20th-century Russian literature, reflecting a consciousness grappling with themes of spirituality, revolution, and the clash between tradition and innovation. Merezhkovsky, a key figure of the Silver Age of Russian literature, was influenced by his interests in mysticism, philosophy, and the rising currents of modernity. His deep engagement with themes of faith and cultural transformation in his personal and political life likely informed his portrayal of Akhnaton, a ruler emblematic of heretical thought and unyielding creativity. Through this character study, Merezhkovsky explores the broader implications of radical change, both in ancient civilizations and his contemporary society. I highly recommend "Akhnaton, King of Egypt" to readers interested in historical fiction that offers not just a narrative of a past era, but also profound reflections on the nature of power, belief, and the human condition. Merezhkovsky's masterful storytelling will resonate with those seeking a rich, thought-provoking journey through the annals of history.

Mission to Madagascar - The...

David Mould

Radama— the young, savvy ruler of the rising military power in Madagascar. Robert Townsend Farquhar— governor of the British island colony of Mauritius, whose plantation economy depends on slave labor. James Hastie— an enterprising East India Company sergeant, ready to take on a risky mission. In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, as Britain and France face off in the southwest Indian Ocean, the destinies of these three characters intertwine. Will the British cut a deal to end the export of slaves from Madagascar, and if so at what cost? Will Radama, with Hastie by his side, win the internal power struggle against nobles and clan chieftains? Hastie' s previously unpublished journals offer the most comprehensive early 19th century account of Madagascar, its landscape, crops, industry, commerce, culture, and inhabitants, and weave a narrative of hazardous travel, byzantine court intrigue and colonial geopolitics. Sir Mervyn Brown, a former UK ambassador and historian of Madagascar, has described Hastie as " one of the most important and attractive figures in the history of Anglo-Malagasy relations."

Ted Bundy - The Account of a...

Kelly Mass

Ted Bundy was one of the most infamous rapists and sexual predators, necrophiles, and murderers in the western part of the United States. Having been abused in his childhood and fed pornographic material from an early age, his crimes became more daring, violent, and vicious as he got a thrill from dismembering or sexually tormenting one victim after another. 
At the end of his life, after several escapes from prison, he was convicted and got the electric chair. Even then, despite his confessions, his manipulative ways seemed to have so much influence on the women he had dated, that many still proclaimed their love for him and were sad to see him leave this world. 
Starting out as a peeping tom and ending up as an abductor who would blatantly break into someone’s home and kidnap a victim for rape and torture, perhaps there is something for us to learn about the inherent nature of crime, sociopathy, and uncontrolled sexual urges. 
If this is your cup of tea, then go ahead and learn more about him. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.
