  Ramesses the Great - Egypt's...

  The life, dramatic reign, and enduring legacy of the pharaoh Ramesses the Great, with lessons for the present, from internationally acclaimed Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson 
   
  Ramesses II ruled the Nile Valley and the wider Egyptian empire from 1279 to 1213 B.C., one of the longest reigns in pharaonic history. He was a cultural innovator, a relentless self-promoter, and an astute diplomat—the peace treaty signed after the Battle of Kadesh was the first in recorded history. He outbuilt every other Egyptian pharaoh, leaving behind the temples of Abu Simbel; the great hypostyle hall of Karnak; the tomb for his wife Nefertari; and his own memorial, the Ramesseum. 
   
  His reputation eclipsed that of all other pharaohs as well: he was decried in the Bible as a despot, famed in literature as Ozymandias, and lauded by early antiquarians as the Younger Memnon. His rule coincided with the peak of ancient Egypt’s power and prosperity, the New Kingdom (1539–1069 B.C.). 
   
  In this authoritative biography, Toby Wilkinson considers Ramesses’ preoccupations and preferences, uncovering the methods and motivations of a megalomaniac ruler, with lessons for our own time.

  Japanese Folktales - Myths...

  Japanese folklore is a vast and intricate tapestry woven from centuries of myths, legends, and supernatural tales. Rooted in the country’s deep connection to nature, spirituality, and tradition, these stories have shaped Japan’s cultural identity, influencing art, literature, and everyday customs. Whether passed down through oral traditions, ancient scrolls, or kabuki theater, these folktales continue to capture the imagination of generations. They offer not just entertainment but also profound lessons on morality, resilience, and the unseen forces that shape human lives.  
    
  At the core of Japanese mythology are the kami, divine spirits or gods that inhabit all aspects of existence, from towering mountains to small household objects. Shintoism, the indigenous belief system of Japan, revolves around the reverence of these spirits, which often play central roles in legendary tales. Stories of deities such as Amaterasu, the radiant sun goddess, and Susanoo, the wild storm god, illustrate the balance of harmony and chaos, creation and destruction. These myths offer insight into the spiritual foundation of Japan and the ways in which its people have long sought to explain the world around them.  
    
  Beyond the gods and celestial myths, Japanese folklore is rich with spirits, ghosts, and yokai—supernatural creatures that range from mischievous to terrifying. Some, like the playful kitsune (fox spirits) and shape-shifting tanuki (raccoon dogs), serve as tricksters who blur the line between good and evil. Others, such as the vengeful onryō, are restless spirits that return to haunt the living, often as a consequence of betrayal or tragedy. These ghostly tales have influenced everything from traditional Noh theater to modern horror films, keeping the eerie legacy of Japan’s supernatural folklore alive.
