Summary

In "Manual of Egyptian Archaeology and Guide to the Study of Antiquities in Egypt," G. Maspero offers a comprehensive examination of Egypt's rich archaeological heritage, combining meticulous research with an accessible narrative style. Maspero delves into the intricacies of Egyptian civilization, exploring the chronological development of its monuments, artifacts, and burial practices while providing critical insights into the broader cultural context. This text serves as both an essential reference for scholars and an engaging introduction for novices, all while reflecting the prevailing academic trends of the late 19th century that sought to systematically document and interpret the ancient world. Gaston Maspero, a pioneering Egyptologist, dedicated his career to uncovering the mysteries of ancient Egypt and was instrumental in the establishment of archaeology as a scientific discipline. His extensive travels and excavations, coupled with his deep knowledge of history and languages, informed his passion for the subject. Maspero's work also coincided with the public's increasing fascination with Egyptology during his time, inspired by the wave of discoveries that were captivating both academics and the populace. This seminal work is highly recommended for anyone interested in the profound complexities of Egyptian history and archaeology. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or a curious enthusiast, Maspero's engaging prose and thorough analysis will deepen your understanding of one of humanity's most revered ancient civilizations.

    The Last Assassin - The Hunt for...

    Many men killed Julius Caesar. Only one man was determined to kill the killers. From the spring of 44 BC through one of the most dramatic and influential periods in history, Caesar's adopted son, Octavian, the future Emperor Augustus, exacted vengeance on the assassins of the Ides of March, not only on Brutus and Cassius, immortalized by Shakespeare, but all the others too, each with his own individual story. 
 
 
 
The last assassin left alive was one of the lesser-known: Cassius Parmensis was a poet and sailor who chose every side in the dying Republic's civil wars except the winning one, a playwright whose work was said to have been stolen and published by the man sent to kill him. Parmensis was in the back row of the plotters, many of them Caesar's friends, who killed for reasons of the highest political principles and lowest personal piques. For fourteen years he was the most successful at evading his hunters but has been barely a historical foot note—until now. 
 
 
 
The Last Assassin dazzlingly charts an epic turn of history through the eyes of an unheralded man. It is a history of a hunt that an emperor wanted to hide, of torture and terror, politics and poetry, of ideas and their consequences, a gripping story of fear, revenge, and survival.

  • The Curse of the Somers - The Secret History behind the US Navy's Most Infamous Mutiny - cover

    The Curse of the Somers - The...

    The greatest controversy in the history of the US Navy of the early American Republic was the revelation that the son of the Secretary of War had seemingly plotted a bloody mutiny that would have turned the US brig Somers into a pirate ship. The plot discovered, he and his coconspirators were hastily condemned and hanged at sea. 
 
 
 
The repercussions of those acts brought headlines, scandal, a fistfight at a cabinet meeting, a court martial, ruined lives, lost reputations, and tales of a haunted ship "bound for the devil" and lost tragically at sea with many of its crew. The "Somers affair" led to the founding of the US Naval Academy and it remains the Navy's only acknowledged mutiny in its history. The story also inspired Herman Melville's White-Jacket and Billy Budd. Others connected to the Somers included Commodore Perry, a relation and defender of the Somers's captain Mackenzie; James Fenimore Cooper, whose feud with the captain, dating back to the War of 1812, resurfaced in his reportage of the affair; and Raphael Semmes, the Somers's last captain, who later served in the Confederate Navy. 
 
 
 
The Curse of the Somers is a thorough recreation of this classic tale, told with the help of recently uncovered evidence.
