Sinossi

Letters On Stone explores the fascinating world of ancient inscriptions and their critical role in understanding lost civilizations. It delves into how these enduring messages, etched in stone, provide direct, untainted insights into the beliefs, social structures, and daily lives of ancient peoples, offering a unique window into the past.

 
The book examines the diverse functions of these inscriptions, from royal decrees to personal expressions, and the meticulous decipherment processes that unlock their secrets. The book highlights iconic cases like the Rosetta Stone and Linear B, illustrating the collaborative efforts of archaeologists, linguists, and historians in linguistic analysis. It emphasizes that ancient inscriptions are not static relics but dynamic voices that challenge conventional narratives and enrich our understanding of cultural evolution. The study of these ancient languages reveals much about ancient history.

 
The narrative progresses from introducing epigraphy to exploring major themes such as royal decrees and religious tenets, and culminates in showcasing the profound implications of deciphered inscriptions for rewriting history. Letters On Stone emphasizes the human element behind each inscription, offering a fresh perspective on the past and making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or ancient civilizations.

    We broke our new series on learning Chinese [Mandarin] down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Chinese [Mandarin]. 
    In Unit 1 you will hear Chinese [Mandarin] decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Chinese [Mandarin] speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Chinese [Mandarin]. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Chinese [Mandarin] at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Chinese [Mandarin], Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    In their early teens, two girls were forced to sit next to each other in school. Although they were complete opposites−one a social butterfly and the other a withdrawn bookworm−they soon realized that they shared similar hopes and dreams. Over time, against all expectations, they became best friends. 
    Until the war broke out. 
    Now, each was thrown into opposite sides of the conflict. And mistakes were made−unforgivable mistakes, that would shape both their futures. 
    How could their friendship endure? 
    BASED ON A REMARKABLE TRUE STORY, with an appendix including authentic WWII photographs and documents. 
    “Wonderful... A wry, sharply observed tale of both heroism and coming-of-age-story during one of the darkest times in humanity.” 
    “Compulsively readable... In this 200-page novella Kis-Lev proves to be yet again a distinctively contemporary literary voice.” 
    “Biting, brilliant exploration of a female friendship. And though The Two Marias focuses on young women, readers need be neither young nor female in order to enjoy it...”
