Synopsis

George Rawlinson's "History of the Persian Empire (Illustrated Edition)" is a meticulous exploration of Persia's vast history, weaving together intricate narratives from the Achaemenid period to the Sassanian dynasty. Rawlinson's literary style is marked by clarity and scholarly rigor, making complex historical events accessible to a wide audience. His use of illustrations enriches the text, providing visual context to the grandeur of Persian architecture, artifacts, and the cultural tapestry that defined the empire. Furthermore, Rawlinson's work is situated within the broader 19th-century scholarly revival of interest in ancient civilizations, reflecting the burgeoning Western curiosity about Eastern history and cultures during the Victorian era. A distinguished British scholar, George Rawlinson was a contemporary of prominent historians and an expert in ancient languages, including Persian and Assyrian. His extensive training in classical literature and history, combined with his work as a diplomat in Persia, fostered a deep understanding of the cultural and political intricacies of the region. This firsthand experience profoundly influenced his scholarship and perspective on the Persian Empire, allowing him to offer readers an authentic lens through which to view this ancient civilization. This illustrated edition not only appeals to historians and students of the ancient world but also captivates general readers intrigued by the richness of Persian culture. Rawlinson's engaging narrative invites readers to journey through the political complexities, cultural achievements, and historical significance of one of history's greatest empires, demonstrating that the legacy of Persia continues to resonate in contemporary discussions of civilization and power.

    What if your peace of mind was the highest form of wisdom? 
    In Charmides, Plato presents a timeless dialogue that gently peels back the layers of self-control, modesty, and knowledge. Socrates engages the charming and reflective youth Charmides in a quest to define “temperance”—a word that touches everything from our moral compass to our emotional balance. 
    Through careful questions and subtle insights, this modern audiobook brings to life a powerful but often overlooked dialogue—one that asks whether the truest form of strength lies in knowing, and governing, oneself. 
    What you’ll discover inside: 
    •	A subtle but profound inquiry into temperance, modesty, and inner harmony 
    •	Socratic questioning at its most reflective, unraveling assumptions with grace 
    •	A fresh look at the link between virtue and knowledge 
    •	A translation that retains the poetic charm and intellectual clarity of the original 
    Whether you’re seeking calm in a chaotic world or pondering the nature of self-discipline, Charmides is a philosophical mirror worth holding up to the soul.

    Probably you have read of the great successes of certain men who have made such wonderful and astounding names in the history of the world. Such men, whether they consciously or unconsciously knew the secret of their powers and successes, made themselves famous by unfolding their super-conscious minds. 
    Now the super-conscious mind contains all the secrets of occult and magnetic power. Napoleon, who was a master of the super-conscious state, used to obtain practically eight hours rest in fifteen minutes by looking intently at a dark spot on the walls of his room. 
    Now this super-conscious state is called by the Hindus "samadhi" or super-consciousness. I will give you the principal secrets of this state and how to enter into it so that you may develop psychic power. There are many methods to do this with, but they are not practical and most of them are so mystical that the majority of sensible people would be foolish to think even of doing them for they are dangerous. I think that the so-called trance states should be left alone, especially with the beginner. 
    Every night for at least a week, just before you retire, or better just before you fall asleep, give to yourself this suggestion: "I will unfold super-consciously." Now, in a few days you will find that you are actually thinking and acting super-consciously; this is the secret of Napoleon's power. 
    This exercise that I am going to give you will enable you to go into the super-conscious state, but you will have to practice and practice to do it. For if you do not you will merely hypnotize yourself. 
    There are what might be termed three bodies in man: First, the conscious, then the thinking body, and then the causal body. If you succeed--and you should do so--in entering into this causal body, you may levitate your body, accomplish materialization, and also astral body travelling and projection.

    Three authoritative yet accessible reference books explaining the terms, concepts, histories, and significant personalities of occult systems and practices.Dictionary of Satanism is a concise yet wide-ranging reference guide for the casual reader. It features essential information on the important concepts, issues, people, places, and events associated with Satanism. Also covered are the myriad forms and names that satanic worship has taken from ancient times to the present.   Following its original publication in 1818, Collin de Plancy’s Dictionary of Witchcraft became a landmark study of demonology and the occult. A significant influence on the Romantic literary movement and notably consulted by author Victor Hugo, de Plancy’s work remains an essential reference text for any student of the dark arts.  Dictionary of Pagan Religions offers a wide-ranging survey of the many religious cults that have flourished around the world from the Stone Age to the present. From Egyptian to Celtic traditions and Gnosticism to Cabala, coauthors Harry E. Wedeck and Wade Baskin have compiled information about the rites, rituals, and influences of these religious systems.
