Sinopsis

An Epic Born of Ice, Fire, and Song — The Heart of Finnish Mythology Unfolds in The Kalevala.
Step into a world of creation myths, enchanted forests, celestial heroes, and cosmic battles — a poetic odyssey that shaped the soul of a nation.

The Kalevala, compiled by Elias Lönnrot in the 19th century, is one of the great epic poems of world literature. Rooted in ancient Finnish oral tradition, this masterpiece brings together songs and stories passed down for generations. From the powerful sage Väinämöinen to the tragic beauty of Aino and the forging of the magical Sampo, these mythic tales pulse with elemental power, raw emotion, and timeless wisdom.

With its rich rhythm, mystical symbolism, and sweeping scope, The Kalevala has inspired writers from Tolkien to Longfellow—and continues to captivate modern readers with its otherworldly charm and cultural significance.

"A literary treasure and cultural cornerstone of Finland." — The Finnish Literary Society
"A mesmerizing blend of myth and music. Comparable to Homer's epics." — World Literature Today
"Echoes of The Kalevala resonate in Tolkien, Le Guin, and even Marvel mythology." — Goodreads Reviewer

Perfect for lovers of mythology, epic fantasy, and folkloric heritage, this edition of The Kalevala opens a gateway to the primal legends that echo through Nordic history.

    The Western Han Dynasty: A History of China, PART TWO plunges into an empire driven by ambition, war, and power struggles. At its center was Emperor Wu of Han, a ruler obsessed with dominance. He expanded China's borders and strengthened its might—but every victory came with a price. Battles raged not only on the frontiers but within the palace, where conspiracies and betrayals shaped the court. 
    To defeat the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu turned to two remarkable generals: Wei Qing, a former servant who became a master strategist, and his nephew Huo Qubing, a brilliant young warrior whose daring campaigns brought sweeping victories. At court, Empress Wei Zifu—once a singer—rose to power alongside her brother’s success, only to face the ruthless politics that threatened even the most powerful. 
    Others shaped the era in shadowed ways. Zhang Tang, the emperor’s feared enforcer, ruled through terror. Historian Sima Qian risked all to record the truth. Meanwhile, the Witchcraft Calamity unleashed a storm of paranoia, leading to purges that destroyed allies and enemies alike. 
    As Emperor Wu’s reign waned, cracks in the empire deepened. His successor, Liu He, ruled for only 27 days. The once-mighty Huo family fell to court intrigue. Then, Emperor Xuan of Han—a commoner by birth—rose to power, offering hope of renewal. But could he repair an empire fractured by war and ambition, or had the Han already passed its peak?

    The “insemination chapel” is hidden deep beneath the manor house. 
    I thought this job sounded too good to be true—working as a summer housekeeper at the billionaire’s rural hunting lodge. I didn’t realize why he actually hired me though… 
    He started by asking about my ex-girlfriend, then he demanded I wear a skimpy maid dress at all times. He’s paying well, so I decided to play along. 
    But now, deep beneath his estate, I kneel naked upon a stone altar. He’s transformed me—I need him. He says there have been dozens of young men here before me, but where are they? 
    The only thing I know for certain is that I’m in love. 
    I’m in love with his sweaty body.

    In the introductory Chapter the reader will find the aim and object of these studies set forth at length. In view of the importance and complexity of the problems involved it seemed better to incorporate such a statement in the book itself, rather than relegate it to a Preface which all might not trouble to read. Yet I feel that such a general statement does not adequately express my full debt of obligation. Among the many whose labour has been laid under contribution in the following pages there are certain scholars whose published work, or personal advice, has been specially illuminating, and to whom specific acknowledgment is therefore due. Like many others I owe to Sir J. G. Frazer the initial inspiration which set me, as I may truly say, on the road to the Grail Castle. Without the guidance of The Golden Bough I should probably, as the late M. Gaston Paris happily expressed it, still be wandering in the forest of Broceliande!

Harvey has worked with leaders and teams around the world to explore the common tensions that arise in the workplace. Her conclusion? Tension in the workplace is inevitable.

Using real-life case studies and personal anecdotes, she compiles decades of her work as a coach to introduce readers to the vehicle of generative change. Each chapter includes activities and reflection exercises, making this an actionable guide that anyone can use to explore the value of generative change for themselves.
