Synopsis

Carnival Fun explores the vibrant and globally celebrated Carnival traditions, delving into their historical roots and diverse cultural expressions. From potential pagan origins to its spread through colonialism, Carnival has evolved into a powerful reflection of cultural identity and community spirit. The book looks at how Carnival serves as a historical marker while remaining a dynamic expression of cultural identity. The book examines specific manifestations of Carnival, such as Brazil's exuberant samba parades and Venice's elegant masked balls. These are not isolated events but rather multifaceted phenomena reflecting centuries of cultural exchange and social dynamics. Carnival Fun argues that these celebrations offer a unique lens through which to understand broader issues of identity and cultural resilience globally. Structured across four sections, the book begins by introducing core concepts and etymology. It then explores Carnival traditions in Brazil and Venice, before comparing these to other global examples like Trinidad and Tobago, highlighting shared threads and local adaptations. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of Carnival's socio-political significance, making it valuable for those interested in world history, travel, and cultural studies.

    Marco Emilio Polo, born in Venice, was a Venetian merchant, explorer, and writer who became renowned for his extraordinary travels across Asia between 1271 and 1295. His journey, which spanned much of the Silk Road, was chronicled in The Travels of Marco Polo, also known as Book of the Marvels of the World and Il Milione (circa 1300). This book introduced Europeans to the vast and mysterious cultures of the East, revealing the immense wealth and size of the Mongol Empire and the Yuan Dynasty in China. It provided the first detailed European account of countries like Persia, India, Japan, and several other regions in Asia, offering a window into worlds previously unknown to the West. 
    Marco's journey was influenced by his family’s mercantile background. His father and uncles, Niccolò and Maffeo Polo, were established traders who had ventured into Asia, meeting the powerful Mongol leader, Kublai Khan. In 1269, after returning to Venice, they reunited with Marco and set off again for Asia. Along the Silk Road, they encountered various cultures and challenges before reaching Cathay, modern-day China, where they were welcomed by Kublai Khan’s court. The Khan was impressed with Marco’s intelligence and demeanor, appointing him as his foreign emissary. This role allowed Marco to undertake diplomatic missions across the Mongol Empire and beyond, traveling to places such as Burma, India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia.

    We watch the news. We see war, disease, poverty, man against man. We see billions of poor people, displaced by the power brokers. We see the super rich getting richer. Many simply see the news, they don't understand or even try to. They don't know the bigger picture, the truth about what is really happening out there. 
     
    The truth is, what happens out there, affects us all. And all of those world events are happening, not by chance, but by design. All of our lives are being affected by just a few men. Those men are members of an elite group. Their ancestors plotted and schemed just as they do today. Their goals are short and long term. 
     
    They affect all levels of society. Lawmakers and enforcers, religious and political leaders, movie makers and media moguls, industrial giants and pharmaceutical murderers. 
     
    All around the world they work. Plotting and scheming, scheming and plotting. Nobody dares to speak out against them. Most don't even know. Through clever manipulation, marketing, propaganda and force, they control the world. These are not the people you're thinking of. These are not always the politicians who are often pawns themselves. 
     
    These people are members of a long line, a golden thread through history that stretches back thousands of years and can be traced through their own bloodline.
