Synopsis

"Epic Contexts" explores the intersection of celebrated epics and their historical and cultural origins, positioning these narratives as complex historical documents rather than mere fiction. It argues that epics both reflect and refract the societies that created them, offering unique insights into past cultures.For example, the book delves into how the "Iliad" can illuminate aspects of Bronze Age Greece, using archaeological evidence to explore the possible realities behind the Trojan War. Similarly, it analyzes the "Epic of Gilgamesh" to reveal facets of ancient Mesopotamian society, examining the political and religious ideologies subtly embedded in the text.This interdisciplinary study draws from history, literature, and anthropology to provide a comprehensive understanding of epics within their specific historical contexts. The book emphasizes understanding cultural values, sociopolitical structures, and historical events that shaped these enduring stories.It progresses by first introducing the core concept of contextualizing epics, then presenting detailed case studies of carefully chosen narratives. Finally, it synthesizes findings to draw broader conclusions about the relationship between epic narratives and historical understanding, offering readers a nuanced perspective on the stories they encounter.

    There are 4 books in this book bundle, consisting of the topics below. 
    Book 1: Where do you go if your child is gifted? Should you do anything differently? This question lies at the heart of this book, as well as other sub-topics that relate to it. Your knowledge will increase about giftedness, and solutions will be provided for a problematic child who is looking for the right therapist. Someone with an expert opinion and degree in psychology could definitely be beneficial to your child’s development. In this book, we’ll break down what to look for in a therapist like that. 
    Book 2: Gifted children are typically a bit more advanced in their thinking, but they still need to be taught how to apply that intelligence towards practical goals. This is where problem-solving skills come in. This book devotes at least one chapter to that topic. 
    At the end of the book, we’ll take you to the most common things to look for in schools, and several programs that help gifted children grow faster academically, so they can reach their full potential. 
    Book 3: Do gifted children have behavioral problems? Do they adapt? Are they perfectionists? The answer to these three questions is a resounding “yes.” However, this also raises questions that need to be answered about how to parent them, how to handle outbursts and emotional moments, etc. 
    Book 4: Many parents wonder about their gifted children. They wonder where their intelligence came from, or why they behave the way they do. For example, many gifted children can be bossy or act as if they are adults, with their wits and words, while still showing immature behavior of a 4-year-old, or whatever their age is. This puzzles parents, and answers need to be given.

    Much of Western Maine reads like a Stephen King novel. 
     
     
     
    The dense dark woods and backcountry ponds. The century-old houses with gravel driveways and immense flower gardens, acres of farmland miles from a highway. Serpentine country roads dotted with farmstands, and picturesque main streets lined with battered pickups. Places where—especially during the dark and rainy days of October and November—things can get downright spooky. 
     
     
     
    Author Sharon Kitchens identifies the locations that serve as the basis for King's fictional towns of Castle Rock, Jerusalem's Lot, Derry, and Haven. Drawing on historical materials and conversations with locals and people who know King, the author sheds light on daily life in places that would become the settings for Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Dead Zone, Cujo, IT, and 11/22/63.

  • The Ark Deluge and the World’s Great Year - Ancient Egypt the Light of the World Book 9 - cover

    The Ark Deluge and the World’s...

    After the deluge in “the destruction of mankind” the god Ra establishes a covenant with those who have escaped from the flood. He says that what he commanded is well done, and that the destruction of his enemies removes destruction from themselves. “Said by the majesty of Ra, It is well done, all this. I shall now protect men on account of this. Said by Ra, I now raise my hand that I shall not destroy men” i.e. not again. The making of this covenant after the deluge is followed by the establishment of the New Year’s festival under the direction of the young priestesses of Hathor. ―from “The Ark, the Deluge, and the World’s Great Year” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World―first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar―redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 9 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explores the prevalent imagery across numerous mythological traditions of a global flood unleashed at the behest of an angry god, and shows how they all sprang from Egyptian folklore. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828–1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.
