Beschreibung

In "Grave-mounds and Their Contents," Llewellynn Frederick William Jewitt presents a meticulous exploration of prehistoric burial mounds across Britain, weaving together archaeological detail with a keen sense of historical narrative. The book deftly employs a blend of narrative nonfiction and rich descriptive passages, reflecting Jewitt's deep commitment to both science and storytelling within the Victorian archaeological revival. Through rigorous examination of artifacts and their contexts, Jewitt illuminates the cultural significance of burial practices, offering insights that resonate with contemporary archaeological discourse while carefully positioning his findings within the larger tapestry of human history. Jewitt, a prominent figure in Victorian archaeology and art conservation, drew upon his extensive experience with historic sites and antiquities. His background as a skilled engraver and historian provided him with the tools to observe and interpret the nuanced interactions between culture and material remains. Jewitt's passion for preserving 'the past' is evident throughout his work, suggesting a profound desire to connect modern audiences with their ancestral heritage. Readers interested in archaeology, anthropology, or the intricate tapestry of human history are highly encouraged to delve into this seminal work. Jewitt's passion and precision foster a deeper appreciation for the complexities of ancient burial practices, making "Grave-mounds and Their Contents" not just a scholarly text but a bridge to understanding our shared past.

    Three philosophical works by the seventeenth-century Enlightenment thinker and author of Ethics.How to Improve Your MindIn this earlier work, Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza articulates his view that life is best lived with the supreme happiness of knowing God’s infinite love. By extension, all earthly pursuits—including money, fame, and sex—are mere distractions from the greater joy of the soul’s quietude.Translated by the philosopher and founder of the Philosophical Library, Dagobert D. Runes. Runes also provides exclusive commentary and biographical notes.The Road to Inner FreedomSpinoza views the ability to experience rational love of God as the key to mastering the contradictory and violent human emotions.The Book of GodThe Book of God, one of Spinzoa’s earliest works, came to light only a hundred years ago in two slightly varying Dutch manuscripts. Its youthful author lived in turbulent times, when the Western world was torn by civil and religious strife, and bullies, bigots and pseudo-prophets vied for the ear of a fearful people. While Europe was in an uproar over the right church, Spinoza was seeking the right God. This book is the first known report of his findings. Translated by Dr. A. Wolf from the Dutch [the author’s Tractatus de Deo et homine version] and edited and with an introduction by Dagobert D. Runes.

    Jack Zipes has spent decades as a "scholarly scavenger," discovering forgotten fairy tales in libraries, flea markets, used bookstores, and internet searches, and he has introduced countless readers to these remarkable works and their authors. In Buried Treasures, Zipes describes his special passion for uncovering political fairy tales of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, offers fascinating profiles of more than a dozen of their writers and illustrators, and shows why they deserve greater attention and appreciation. 
     
     
     
    These writers and artists used their remarkable talents to confront political oppression and economic exploitation by creating alternative, imaginative worlds that test the ethics and morals of the real world and expose hidden truths. Among the figures we meet here are Édouard Laboulaye, a jurist who wrote acute fairy tales about justice; Charles Godfrey Leland, a folklorist who found other worlds in tales of Native Americans, witches, and Roma; Kurt Schwitters, an artist who wrote satirical, antiauthoritarian stories; Mariette Lydis, a painter who depicted lost-and-found souls; Lisa Tetzner, who dramatized exploitation by elites; Felix Salten, who unveiled the real meaning of Bambi's dangerous life in the forest; and Gianni Rodari, whose work showed just how political and insightful fantasy stories can be.
