Sinopsis

"Forgotten Epics" seeks to recover lost voices from ancient literature, revealing monumental stories that have shaped storytelling traditions more than we often realize. This literary excavation unearths narratives from diverse cultures, challenging Eurocentric perspectives and enriching our understanding of human creativity. Imagine, for example, pre-Columbian American epics holding just as much cultural significance as the well-known Greek classics, offering unique perspectives on universal themes.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept of the "lost epic" and the challenges of interpreting fragmented texts. It then delves into specific examples from Mesopotamia, Egypt, and beyond, analyzing their plots, characters, and historical context.

 
Finally, it examines the influence of these forgotten epics on later traditions and their relevance to contemporary issues. By connecting history to cultural studies and anthropology, "Forgotten Epics" highlights how these ancient stories shaped societies and continue to resonate today, offering a fresh perspective on literary history.

    On 22 May 2017, a bomb exploded in the middle of a crowd of young fans leaving an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena. Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more were injured. 
     
    Saffie-Rose Roussos, aged eight, was the youngest victim to die in the attack. She had been at the concert with her mother, Lisa, and her elder sister, Ashlee. 
     
    While Ashlee’s injuries were not life-threatening, Lisa was so badly hurt doctors gave her a fifteen per cent chance of survival and a ninety per cent chance of being paralysed from the neck down if she did survive. Lisa would spend six weeks in a coma and only learned Saffie was gone when she regained consciousness. 
     
    As the bomb went off, Saffie’s father Andrew was outside waiting to pick up Lisa, Ashlee and Saffie, with his son Xander. He heard the explosion and embarked on a desperate, terrifying search for his wife and daughters through a city that was now more like a war zone. 
     
    Saffie is Andrew and Lisa’s story, one of unimaginable suffering and heartbreak as the family faced down a nightmare but also a story of inspiration, courage and optimism, as they search for happiness and meaning in their lives, whilst fighting MI5 to reveal what they knew about the bomber. 
     
    Most of all, though, this is a story of love, for each other and for Saffie, and how she was their guiding light in the very worst of times.

    What do you do when life gives you every reason to give up?
    For years, Tebele Makhetha was building the life she had prayed for – a successful career, a growing family and a future filled with possibility. Then life began to unravel.
    A breast cancer diagnosis. Later, the words, 'it has spread'. A marriage that ended. Career uncertainty. The emotional weight of motherhood, loss and unanswered questions.
    Suddenly, the future she had imagined looked very different from the one she was living.
    Yet amid the heartbreak, hospital visits, scan results and setbacks, Tebele discovered something unexpected: courage is not found in having all the answers; it is found in making a choice.
    A choice to keep believing.
    A choice to keep hoping.
    A choice to keep living.
    With honesty, warmth and remarkable vulnerability, I Choose Life is a deeply moving memoir about faith, resilience, identity, healing and the lessons that emerge when life does not go according to plan.
    More than a story about illness, I Choose Life is a story about what it means to live fully, love deeply and trust God even when the path ahead is unclear.
    Life does not always give us a choice about what happens to us.
    But, every day, it gives us a choice about how we will respond.
    And sometimes, the bravest choice we can make is simply this … to choose life.

    Half My Life - How Jesus...

    How can I introduce my life without tipping my hand to enough detail that you will not need to the rest of this book? I am thinking this as I write the Introduction: Take Two. I wrote so much, and that which I wrote, I absolutely loved, but it was too much, it tipped my hand, it was a spoiler of the story to come. So I hit the delete key to write a simple message instead. 
    Within the pages of this book I will tell you my story. It’s a story of a latch-key kid born out of time; a boy who lived a latch-key life before that term was coined by social scientists concerned about all these kids coming home from school to an empty house. I am here to say that their fears are justified. Indeed, I agree that idle time is the Devil’s plaything, and my life shows how unsupervised children can become rotten to the core. I reject that we are blank slates waiting for moral input. If I was unsure of that as a child, I am convinced of it now, as I look back! 
    I do not mean to suggest that growing up with supervision will prevent us from being sinners, nor that every unsupervised child will grow up as I did, but rather, I want to show you the impact untempered sin has in a young boy’s life. I want to show you that growing up without God leads to a life of sin. I want to show you that sin begets sin. I want you to learn that following God is truly the most important thing you can do!
