As can be guessed from the title, this book is intended to be a world history book for college and high school students. It is divided into two parts: ancient history and modern history, with each part being distilled into smaller sections and chapters.
The world has always been fascinated with ancient Egypt. When the Romans conquered Egypt, it was really Egypt that conquered the Romans. Cleopatra captivated both Caesar and Marc Antony and soon Roman ladies were worshipping Isis and wearing vials of Nile water around their necks. What is it about ancient Egypt that breeds such obsession and imitation? Egyptomania explores the burning fascination with all things Egyptian and the events that fanned the flames—from ancient times, to Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, to the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb by Howard Carter in the 1920s. For forty years, Bob Brier, one of the world's foremost Egyptologists, has been amassing one of the largest collections of Egyptian memorabilia and seeking to understand the pull of ancient Egypt on our world today. In this original and groundbreaking book, he explores our three-thousand-year-old fixation with recovering Egyptian culture and its meaning. He traces our enthrallment with the mummies that seem to have cheated death and the pyramids that as if they will last forever. Drawing on his personal collection—from Napoleon's twenty volume Egypt encyclopedia to Howard Carter's letters written from the Valley of the Kings as he was excavating—this is an inventive and mesmerizing tour of how an ancient civilization endures in ours today.Ver livro
The Norman Conquest of England in 1066 was not an isolated event but the culmination of complex political, social, and military developments. Understanding the factors that led to this momentous invasion requires an exploration of the Anglo-Saxon world, the rise of Normandy, and the political landscape that shaped the conflict. By the mid-11th century, England was a prosperous but politically volatile kingdom. The Anglo-Saxon rule, established centuries earlier, had seen periods of stability and turmoil. King Edward the Confessor, who reigned from 1042 to 1066, was deeply religious but lacked a direct heir, leading to uncertainty about the kingdom’s future. His court was divided between powerful noble factions, including Earl Harold Godwinson, one of England’s most influential figures. This internal division made England vulnerable to external threats. At the same time, Normandy, a powerful duchy in northern France, had been rising as a formidable force under the leadership of Duke William. The Normans, originally descended from Viking settlers, had adopted French customs, built strong political institutions, and developed an efficient military system. William, known for his ambition and strategic mind, had a close relationship with Edward the Confessor, who had supposedly promised him the English throne. However, this claim was disputed, setting the stage for conflict.Ver livro

A farmer in old Japan prays to the gods for a wife, someone who is kind, beautiful, and hardworking. What would be even better is if she didn’t eat at all, saving him both money and food. Imagine his surprise when just such a woman shows up at his house one night. But all is not perfect. The gods have quite the sense of humor, and the farmer soon learns what kind of monster he is living with. But is it too late?“The Wife Who Didn’t Eat” is author Thersa Matsuura’s retelling of a classic horror-tinged Japanese folktale, “Kwazu Nyobo”. Here she reads her version of the story followed by a short commentary with some of her research notes and thoughts on the tale. Both the short story and commentary come in at just under one hour. Thersa Matsuura is a published author of two short story collections, one nominated for a Bram Stoker Award. You can also find her on her podcast, Uncanny Japan, where she talks more about the more obscure parts of Japanese culture. Reviews: “Very soothing, educational and entertaining.
