Summary

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from the Phoenician Civilization to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.

The Phoenicians have gone down in history as the original seafarers of the world. It's interesting to note that they were considered a lost civilization until archeologists and etymologists discovered ancient writings from Phoenicia that revealed vital information about the civilization. They existed from 1500-300 B.C.  influencing what would be the origins of maritime trade. The Phoenicians would establish colonies through riches and territories gained through maritime trade and wished one of their trading cities to be a formidable enemy to Ancient Rome. 
Their name Phoenicia is believed to come from the Greeks referencing the purple dye that they specialized in that was highly coveted. The alphabet and trading tactics of the Phoenicians influenced the Greeks, Egyptians, and other ancient civilizations around them almost as much as their trade did. Even mentioned in the Bible, modern-day Lebanon is believed to be what is left of the Phoenician civilization. I am not “

    'The moment was all; the moment was enough.'

Published after Woolf's death by her husband, Leonard, The Moment and Other Essays offers twenty-nine short pieces of the modernist icon's stunning non-fiction, shrewdly exploring the meaning of art, literature and everyday life.

Elegantly covering topics such as the nature of reality, the power of memory and the priceless value of literature, in this sophisticated collection of essays, Woolf more than ever focuses her attention on the fleeting moments of life that meaningfully shape the human experience. In the title essay, 'The Moment', she pursues the powerful, albeit brief, moments that enable a potent feeling of being utterly understood, and consequently, wholeheartedly alive. In other works, she paints considered portraits of writers such as Turgenev and Thoreau – an affectionate testament to their life and work. Written with her trademark style – contemplative, deeply personal and in places experimental – Woolf invites her readers to find the profound in the seemingly ordinary. This audiobook edition is brilliantly narrated by Tania Rodrigues.
Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.

    Many medieval figures are somewhat shrouded in mystery, due to the scarcity of available sources and to the difficulties posed by the interpretation of historical narratives dating from this period. And even when there is enough documented evidence to put together a sufficiently coherent biographical account, other sources and accounts may emerge that flagrantly contradict the already established and generally accepted historical narrative. 
Nowhere is this more evident than in the legacy of Vlad III Dracula, whom history has recorded as one of the most notorious and bloodthirsty tyrants of the 15th century. In addition to lending the name Dracula to Bram Stoker’s famous vampire, Vlad is known around the world by the cognomen Vlad the Impaler, due to his reputation for impaling thousands of his enemies. Vlad was reputed to be such a tyrant that his reputation and stories of his deeds spread across Germany and the rest of Europe during his lifetime. Naturally, trying to determine who Vlad was and what he was really like has been made more complex by the subsequent fame he achieved in Europe and beyond, beginning with the dissemination of the German and Slavic 15th century narratives that aided in the construction of a diabolical, mythical-like figure that has been passed down throughout history to today.  
While certain factual aspects regarding Ivan IV’s reign can certainly be deduced from the primary sources that have withstood the test of time, the majority of accounts dating from the 16th century and after must be evaluated critically and read in light of certain traditions and ideas that circulated in the region regarding the model ruler and the tyrant. Naturally, this makes it hard for contemporary audiences to determine whether Ivan IV was worthy of the epithet “Groznyi” (“the Terrible”), but that heavily influenced the way in which Ivan IV was perceived and subsequently depicted in historiography.
