Sinopsis

In "Thoughts on South Africa," Olive Schreiner presents a profound reflection on the socio-political landscape of South Africa in the late 19th century. This work transcends the simplicity of travel writing, integrating elements of social critique and philosophical discourse. Schreiner's narrative is marked by her introspective and lyrical prose, rendering the complexities of colonialism, race relations, and the human condition in vivid detail. Through her keen observations, she offers not just a critique of her contemporaries but also an early feminist voice questioning the status quo in a rapidly changing society. Olive Schreiner, a pioneering figure in feminist literature and a committed advocate for social justice, wrote this book against the backdrop of her own experiences as a South African settler. Her deep concern for the plight of marginalized communities and her commitment to discussing the psychological effects of colonial rule inform her insights in this work. Schreiner's unique perspective as a woman writer in a patriarchal society enriches her analysis, making it a significant contribution to both South African literature and feminist thought. Recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the interplay of race, gender, and politics in colonial contexts, "Thoughts on South Africa" is an essential read. Schreiner's engaging prose and critical perspective provoke thoughtful dialogue about the legacies of colonialism and the ongoing struggle for equality, marking this book as a timeless and essential resource for understanding the complexities of South African identity.

    Rome faced many formidable enemies over the course of nearly 1,000 years, but perhaps none were as enigmatic and forgotten as King Mithridates VI of Pontus. Despite numerous ancient sources detailing the life of the foreign monarch and his wars with Rome, and despite being an interesting character who endured years as a fugitive in his youth, enjoyed a fascination with poisons, and held mercy and pragmatic ruthlessness in a delicate balance, very few scholarly books and works have been produced about the king. It may be that his largely unsuccessful military campaigns have contributed to his disappearance from active historical examination, but despite his poor record in engagements against the Romans, the Kingdom of Pontus dominated much of Asia Minor in the 1st century BCE, and the Romans themselves considered the kingdom one of its most dangerous enemies. According to Plutarch, when Mithridates died, the Roman soldiers felt that “in the person of Mithridates ten thousand enemies had died.” By then, it had required three of Rome’s most famous generals - Sulla, Lucullus, and Pompey - to finally subdue his kingdom.   
    	Among all the periods in ancient Egyptian history, the Ptolemaic Kingdom and its most famous ruler, Cleopatra, may be the most well-known today. By the 4th century BCE, it appeared as though ancient Egypt was in its final death throes. It had long ceased to be an influential kingdom in the Near East and Mediterranean regions, and it had been ruled over by a succession of foreign peoples including Libyans, Nubians, Assyrians, and Persians. But just when Egypt seemed doomed to pass forever into obscurity, it was reinvigorated by outsiders, most notably Alexander the Great. While in the process of campaigning to destroy the Achaemenid Persian Empire and conquer the world in 331 BCE, he made a pit stop in Egypt that forever changed the course of Egyptian history.

    Black Elk of the Sioux has been recognized as one of the truly remarkable men of his time in the matter of religious belief and practice. 
     
     
     
    Black Elk was the only qualified priest of the older Oglala Sioux still living when The Sacred Pipe was written. This is his book: he gave it orally to Joseph Epes Brown during the latter's eight month's residence on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, where Black Elk lived. Beginning with the story of White Buffalo Cow Woman's first visit to the Sioux to give them the sacred pip, Black Elk describes and discusses the details and meanings of the seven rites, which were disclosed, one by one, to the Sioux through visions. He takes the listener through the sun dance, the purification rite, the "keeping of the soul," and other rites 
     
     
     
    The wakan Mysteries of the Siouan peoples have been a subject of interest and study by explorers and scholars from the period of earliest contact between whites and Indians in North America, but Black Elk's account is without doubt the most highly developed on this religion and cosmography. The Sacred Pipe, published as volume thirty-six in the Civilization of the American Indian Series, will be greeted enthusiastically by students of comparative religion, ethnologists, historians, philosophers, and everyone interested in American Indian life.
