Sinopse

Max Duncker's 'The History of the Ancient Civilizations' offers a comprehensive exploration of ancient societies, meticulously documenting their cultural, political, and social developments. With a narrative style that blends scholarly rigor with engaging prose, Duncker employs a chronological approach, guiding readers through significant epochs and transitions, including the rise and fall of empires. He integrates archaeological findings and historical texts, providing depth and context to the civilizations studied, making the work particularly relevant within the academic discourse of the 19th century, where historical methodology was rapidly evolving. Born in 1811 in a milieu ripe with scholarly inquiry, Duncker was influenced by the growing interest in historical analysis and the socio-political changes of his time. His background in law and history, coupled with his professorship in the latter at the University of Leipzig, equipped him with the critical thinking skills and empirical approach necessary for such an expansive historical endeavor. Duncker's passion for uncovering the intricacies of ancient life is evident in his precise language and insightful observations, reflecting both a deep knowledge and an exhaustive dedication to historical truth. This book stands as an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts of history alike. Duncker's meticulous scholarship not only enriches one's understanding of ancient civilizations but also invites readers to reflect on the cyclical nature of history. For anyone seeking to dive deep into the tapestry of human civilization, Duncker's work remains an invaluable resource.

    African Mythology: Enthralling...

    Africa is huge and varied, and so is its mythology. 
    African ideas of how the world began are very different from the story of Genesis. Though the creator god is repeatedly seen as having withdrawn from the world, people often have a very direct and intense relationship with demigods, ancestors, and bush spirits. The entire landscape is permeated by spiritual meanings and inhabited by gods and spirits. While many Africans today formally follow the Christian or Muslim faiths, they often blend these beliefs with traditional lore and rites. 
    This audiobook examines the central themes of African mythology—the creation, gods and goddesses, trickster tales, animals, monsters, heroes, and mythical rulers—and shows how some motifs recur throughout the corpus of myths. It also looks at how African myths are becoming better known because of writers and filmmakers, particularly from the Black diaspora, who draw on this rich heritage for inspiration. 
    This introductory guide to African myths will allow you to do the following:Learn why the original creator decided to withdraw from Earth.Find out how ancient Egypt had several different creation stories, depending on which god was in ascendancy at the time.Listen to the medieval African emperor said to have been the richest man in history.Find out where Br’er Rabbit really came from.Check out how Anansi the Spider gained ownership of all the stories in the world.Get to know Oshun, the Yoruba river goddess, and how she arrived in Latin America.Learn about Haile Selassie, the emperor who brought Ethiopia into the League of Nations, and how he became a living god to Jamaican Rastafarians.Understand how Voodoo (Vodou) grew out of traditional West African religion.

    The personal and the political collide in this masterful account of the death of a dictatorWhen Joseph Stalin died in 1953, he had been the unchallenged leader of the Soviet Union for over twenty years, having presided over the ruthless modernisation of the early 1930s, the Great Purges later in the decade, the near-catastrophe and ultimate victory of World War II, and the country's postwar emergence as a superpower. He was surrounded by a cult that made him seem godlike; no successors were in sight. His death was bound to be a deeply unsettling event, both in the Soviet Union and elsewhere.Sheila Fitzpatrick draws on her unparalleled knowledge of Stalin's circle and Soviet society to tell a tale that blends black comedy with forensic analysis, exploring the problems and opportunities -- often missed -- created by the death of the dictator. The final chapter deals with Stalin's eventful afterlife, including his recent resurrection in Putin's Russia. This is both a riveting read and a salutary one.
