Beschreibung

"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.

    ""I don't take responsibility at all."" Those words of Donald Trump at a March 13, 2020, press conference are likely to be history's epitaph on his presidency. 
    A huge swath of Americans have put their faith in Trump, and Trump only, because they see the rest of the country building a future that doesn’t have a place for them.  
    If they would risk their lives for Trump in a pandemic, they will certainly risk the stability of American democracy. They brought the Trumpocalypse upon the country, and a post-Trumpocalypse country will have to find a way either to reconcile them to democracy - or to protect democracy from them. 
    In Trumpocalypse, David Frum looks at what happens when a third of the electorate refuses to abandon Donald Trump, no matter what he does. Those voters aren’t looking for policy wins. They’re seeking cultural revenge. 
    It is not enough to defeat Donald Trump on election day 2020. Even if Trump peacefully departs office, the trauma he inflicted will distort American and world politics for years to come. Americans must start from where they are, build from what they have, to repair the damage Trump inflicted on the country, to amend the wrongs that, under Trump, they inflicted upon each other. 
    Americans can do better. David Frum shows how—and inspires all readers of all points of view to believe again in the possibilities of American life. Trumpocalypse is both a warning of danger and a guide to reform that will be read and discussed for years to come.

    The word Upanishad (upa-ni-shad) consists of, "Upa" means "near;" "ni" means "down;" "shad" means "to sit." Thus, Upanishad is to sit down near the teacher to discuss, learn, practice, and experience. There are some 200 or more Upanishads. Some are lost and are only known about because of being referenced in other Upanishads. Most of the Upanishads were kept secret for centuries, only passed on to others orally in the form of Shloka (a category of verse line developed from the Vedic Anustubh meter).Taittiriya is a Sanskrit word that means "from Tittiri". The root of this name has been interpreted in two ways: "from Vedic sage Tittiri" or a collection of verses from mythical students who became Tittiris (birds, partridges) in order to gain knowledge.This Upanishad is divided into three sections called Vallis: Siksha (Pronunciation /Instruction) Valli ,  Ananda (bliss of Brahman) Valli , and Bhrigu (son of Varuna, the god of all water elements) Valli.The chronology of Taittriyaka Upanishad is unclear; it is ancient and generally placed around 1st half of 1st millennium BCE.The 11 principal Upanishads to which Sankara appeals in his great commentary on the Vedanta-Surtras are: Chandogya, Talavakara or Kena, Aitareya, Kaushitaki, Vajasaneyi or Isha, Katha, Mundaka, Taittirtiyaka or Taittiriya, Brihadaranyaka, Svetasvatara, and Prasna. They are also called the 11 classical Upanishads or the fundamental Upanishads of the Vedanta Philosophy. Apart from these, Maitrayana-Brahmana-Upanishad is also considered as an important Upanishad. The Upanishadic literature is not a religious scripture and is free from dogma and doctrines. It is not a part of any religion but is a philosophy for all times and for all. German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, impressed by the Upanishads, called the texts "the production of the highest human wisdom".  Summary by Jothi
