Sinopsis

The ancient Egyptian mortuary text known as the Book of the Dead had its heyday from the onset of the New Kingdom (around 1550 BCE) until approximately 50 BCE. Crafted on papyrus, this collection of magical spells, coined as the "Book," aimed to guide the departed through the Duat, or underworld, into the realm beyond. It represented an amalgamation of texts contributed by various priests over nearly 1,000 years.

Stored within the deceased's coffin or burial chamber, the Book of the Dead marked a continuation of funerary literature, succeeding the Pyramid Texts and Coffin Texts, which were inscribed on items rather than papyrus. Some spells within the book dated back to the third millennium BCE, while others emerged during the Third Intermediate Period (11th to 7th centuries BCE). These spells, once inscribed on tomb walls and sarcophagi, eventually found their place in the Book of the Dead.

The Tao Te Ching, Daodejing, Dao De Jing, or Daode jing, also simply referred to as the Laozi, is a Chinese classic text. According to tradition, it was written around 6th century BC by the sage Laozi, a record-keeper at the Zhou dynasty court, by whose name the text is known in China. The text's true authorship and date of composition or compilation are still debated, although the oldest excavated text dates back to the late 4th century BC.The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism, and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism, Confucianism, and Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Daoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners, have used the Daodejing as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, and is among the most translated works in world literature.

The incredible wartime saga of the only American submariners 
to survive the sinking of their ship and evade enemy capture in WWII 
 
 
 
On the night of August 13, 1944, the U.S. submarine Flier struck a mine in the Sulu Sea in the southern Philippines as it steamed along the surface. All but fifteen of the more than eighty-strong crew went down with the vessel. Of those left floating in the dark, eight survived by swimming for seventeen hours before washing ashore on an uninhabited island. The story of the Flier and its eight survivors is wholly unique in the annals of U.S. military history. 
 
  
 
Eight Survived tells the gripping story of the doomed submarine and its crew from its first patrol, during which it sank several enemy ships, to the explosion in the Sulu Sea. Drawing on interviews with the survivors and on a visit to the jungle where they washed ashore—where a cast of fascinating characters helped the U.S. sailors evade the Japanese—Douglas Campbell fully captures the combination of extraordinary courage and luck that marked one of the most heroic episodes of World War II.
