Sinopsis

Cave Art Symbols decodes the captivating world of prehistoric art, exploring how early humans used cave paintings and petroglyphs to communicate, record events, and transmit cultural myths. This exploration into ancient art provides a window into the cognitive abilities, social structures, and spiritual beliefs of our ancestors. Intriguingly, recurring symbols appear across geographically diverse sites, suggesting a shared understanding or symbolic language among early human populations. The book argues that cave art represents a sophisticated form of visual communication, reflecting intentional and structured thought processes, rather than random artistic expression.

 
The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from archaeology, anthropology, art history, and cognitive science to analyze cave art. It begins by introducing foundational concepts, such as dating methods and preservation techniques, before systematically examining recurring symbols and motifs. Later chapters reconstruct potential narratives depicted in the art, offering interpretations of hunting scenes and ritualistic practices.

 
Ultimately, Cave Art Symbols offers a fascinating glimpse into the minds of early humans, challenging conventional understandings of their communication and artistic expression.

    'A delicious, gossipy and thoroughly engaging romp ... heartily recommended.' Tim Tate, author of Hitler's British Traitors and The Spy Who Was Left Out in the Cold
    'A captivating page-turner ...' Helen Fry, author of Women in Intelligence
    
    
    Ambassador's daughter, Nazi love interest, Soviet spy, FBI most wanted.
    
    Accompanying her parents to Berlin in the 1930s, Martha Dodd knew almost nothing about Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. Yet almost overnight, she stepped into the spotlight, and found herself at the over-heated centre of Hitler's 'New Germany', befriending and dating several high-ranking Nazis, including the head of the Gestapo.
    
    An affair with a dashing Russian diplomat saw her recruited as a spy, and so began a long and tumultuous career in both Berlin and America, including attempts to infiltrate First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's inner circle and playing a key role in Henry Wallace's disastrous 1948 presidential campaign.
    
    Betrayed by a Hollywood-hustler-turned-double-agent, Martha spent years under deep FBI surveillance - escaping twice - and went to ground in Cold War Prague, sad, lonely, rich and bored, living out her final decades in a Communist Sunset Boulevard.
    
    Largely forgotten, Martha Dodd began to emerge as an iconic historical figure in the early 2000s. While her scandalous behaviour and pro-Soviet leanings were never much in dispute, the actual matter of her guilt remained unresolved. Now, using recently released KGB archived information and FBI files, author and journalist Brendan McNally sets the record straight in Traitor's Odyssey, telling the full epic tale of Martha Dodd's life for the first time, casting her in a new and bright light.

    Parallel Lives - A Love Story...

    An extraordinary love story of two unlikely figures played out against the backdrop of the Cold War. 
      
    Best-selling novelist and art historian Iain Pears enchants readers with the real-life romance between Larissa Salmina, a Russian art curator, and Francis Haskell, a British art historian. His fabulous book brings into sharp focus the strange world of the Soviet Union, and the even stranger world of a certain variety of the English elite. It seeks to show how leaving the Soviet Union was a sacrifice for her and how it was the English man, not the Russian woman, who was set free because of their meeting. 
      
    Larissa was born in northern Russia, the daughter of a Soviet army officer from a noble family who survived the siege of Leningrad by eating cats’ tails and being evacuated over the ice. Francis was the grandson of an Iraqi Jew, forever feeling out of place in his adopted country of England. Parallel Lives is the story of how these two star-crossed lovers met, instantly understand each other, and were prepared to risk heartbreak, and in her case, retribution, to be together. 
      
    Escaping Leningrad, teenage Larissa lived in the Urals surrounded by Spanish revolutionaries, and after the war rose to become the youngest commissar in the Soviet Union and keeper of Italian drawings at the Hermitage. She took the Russian contribution to the Venice Biennale in 1962 and lost it on the journey. She briefly absconded with her supervisor’s corpse, developed a useful sideline in forgery, and stole (“I didn’t steal it. I liberated it”) a Matisse from the Italian government. Francis was a distinguished art historian, comfortably at home in King’s College Cambridge. But he was lonely, self-doubting, and had all but abandoned hope of falling in love. Larissa swept away all the years of anguish in one meal. 
      
    Iain Pears, who was neighbors with Larissa and Francis in Oxford, knew both his principal characters well. In telling Larissa and Francis’s love story, he is also capturing the Europe of a bygone era: a world of dancers, exiles, and the occasional spy, of artists, aristocrats, and academics. It is a tale of a world we have lost.
