Sinopse

In "History of the Sasanian Empire," George Rawlinson delves into the intricacies of one of ancient Persia's most influential dynasties, illuminating its political, cultural, and social dimensions. Written in the 19th century, Rawlinson's scholarly work reflects a meticulous adherence to primary sources and archaeological findings, blending narrative history with analytical insight characteristic of the era's intellectual rigor. His attention to detail and engaging prose offer readers not only a chronological account of the Sasanian rulers but also a deep exploration of their contributions to art, religion, and governance, placing the empire within the broader context of ancient Near Eastern history. George Rawlinson, a noted historian and linguist, was deeply influenced by his background in classical studies and his career as a scholar in Assyrian and Babylonian antiquities. His profound admiration for Persian civilization motivated him to undertake comprehensive research on the Sasanian Empire, while his expertise in cuneiform inscriptions provided invaluable perspectives on the complexities of the era. Rawlinson's commitment to resurrecting the voices of this ancient empire underscores his significant contributions to historical scholarship. This book is highly recommended for both scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history, as it presents a meticulous portrait of the Sasanian Empire that enriches our understanding of its lasting legacy. By weaving together historical narratives and analytical rigor, Rawlinson's work invites readers to engage with a pivotal chapter in the ancient world that continues to inform our cultural and political landscapes today.

    On May 1, 1915, the majestic RMS Lusitania departed from New York, bound for Liverpool, navigating through the escalating tensions of a war-torn Europe. Just six days later, the Cunard liner met a tragic fate, sinking into the depths of the Atlantic after being struck by a German torpedo. The catastrophe claimed the lives of over a thousand passengers, sending shockwaves across the world and profoundly influencing the American stance on World War I. 
    At the heart of this investigation lies a provocative thesis: the tragic loss of life on the Lusitania was not merely a consequence of wartime hostilities but was exacerbated by decisions and actions that could have been averted. Through detailed analysis, the book questions the accountability of the captain and crew, challenging readers to reconsider the extent to which their actions — or inactions — contributed to the disaster. 
    But this story is not confined to the ill-fated ship alone. "Echoes From the Deep" also examines the broader ramifications of the Lusitania's sinking on American public opinion. The tragedy stirred a powerful emotional response, turning the tide of sentiment and drawing the United States closer to joining the global conflict.  
    Blending historical rigor with compelling storytelling, "Echoes From the Deep" explores tragedy, responsibility, and the complex interplay between individual actions and larger historical forces. This book is essential for history enthusiasts, maritime scholars, and anyone intrigued by the profound impact of the Lusitania disaster on the American war effort.

    Renowned internationally for her lyrically unsettling novels, PEN/Faulkner Award winner Chloe Aridjis now presents her first collection of shorter works, with an introduction by Tom McCarthy 
     
     
     
    Chloe Aridjis's stories and essays are known to transport readers into liminal, often dreamlike, realms. In this collection of works, we meet a woman guided only by a plastic bag drifting through the streets of Berlin who discovers a nonsense-named bar that is home to papier-mâché monsters and one glass-encased somnambulist. Floating through space, cosmonauts are confronted not only with wonder and astonishment, but tedium and solitude. And in Mexico City, stray dogs animate public spaces, "infusing them with a noble life force." In her pen portraits, Aridjis turns her eye to expats and outsiders, including artists and writers such as Leonora Carrington, Mavis Gallant, and Beatrice Hastings. 
     
     
     
    Exploring the complexity of exile and urban alienation, Dialogue with a Somnambulist showcases "the rare writer who reinvents herself in each book" (Garth Greenwell) and who is as imaginatively at home in the short form as in her longer fiction.

    Welcome to the house of fun.
    It's the early 1980s and Fiona Neary and her family have recently moved back from England to the family farm. Fiona's huge-hearted mum decides to take in foster children – a decision that will change all their lives.
     Over the next decade, a procession of faces passes through the house. Every child has their own story, and each story claims a little piece of Fiona's heart. Some stay a few weeks; some months, and then years. All these children, as well as Fiona and her family, must pass through a chaotic system: where a judge's decision can alter a child's life, for better or worse; where emergency placements can break up siblings; where the foster family are often left in the dark and with little back-up.
    Filled with pathos and humour, Parcels in the Post is both a memoir of a loving household and snapshot of the fostering system in Ireland, from someone at the very heart of it all.
