Beschreibung

In the realm of ancient civilizations, few names evoke as much intrigue and fascination as those of Troy and Mycenae. These legendary cities, immortalized in the epic tales of Homer and the myths of ancient Greece, have captured the imagination of countless generations.

This book takes you on a captivating journey through the discovery and exploration of Troy and Mycenae, shedding light on the archaeological marvels that brought these ancient worlds to life. Through the eyes of Heinrich Schliemann, the enigmatic figure who dedicated his life to uncovering their secrets, we delve into the controversies and triumphs that shaped our understanding of these legendary civilizations.

Step into the world of Troy, where Schliemann's unwavering belief in Homer's Iliad led him to uncover the ruins of the city and unearth the treasures that lay beneath its soil. Witness the grandeur of Mycenae, with its monumental Lion Gate and elaborate tombs filled with gold and jewels, offering a glimpse into the wealth and power of its ancient rulers.

But beyond the excitement of discovery, this book also explores the complexities and controversies that surrounded Schliemann's work. Accusations of fraud and deception cast a shadow over his findings, sparking debates that continue to this day. We delve into the evidence and arguments, examining the authenticity of Schliemann's discoveries and the impact they have had on our understanding of the ancient world.

This book is not just a recounting of archaeological discoveries; it is an exploration of the enduring legacy of Troy and Mycenae. Their stories have inspired countless works of art, literature, and music, capturing the imagination of people across cultures and generations. We trace the enduring fascination with these ancient cities, examining how they have shaped our understanding of history, culture, and the human experience.

Join us on this captivating journey through the world of Troy and Mycenae, where archaeological discoveries intertwine with myth, legend, and controversy. Gain a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of our shared human heritage and the enduring power of the ancient world to captivate and inspire.

    One of the most popular and widely read books of the Middle Ages, Physiologus contains allegories of beasts, stones, and trees both real and imaginary, infused by their anonymous author with the spirit of Christian moral and mystical teaching.  Accompanied by an introduction that explains the origins, history, and literary value of this curious text, this volume also reproduces twenty woodcuts from the 1587 version. Originally composed in the fourth century in Greek, and translated into dozens of versions through the centuries, Physiologus will delight readers with its ancient tales of ant-lions, centaurs, and hedgehogs—and their allegorical significance. “An elegant little book . . . still diverting to look at today. . . . The woodcuts reproduced from the 1587 Rome edition are alone worth the price of the book.”—Raymond A. Sokolov, New York Times Book Review

    "A heartfelt invitation for grieving readers...An excellent resource for those working their way through loss." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review  
    Veteran hospital chaplain to the sick, dying, and bereaved, J.S. Park offers you both the permission and the process for how to grieve and heal at your own pace. 
    In As Long As You Need, J.S. offers an honest and unrushed engagement with grief, decoding four types of grieving—spiritual, mental, physical, and relational—and offering compassionate self-care and soul-care along the way. 
    If you are struggling to process loss, pain, or grief from the last few years or the last few minutes, J.S. is an experienced and deeply empathetic listener and grief catcher who has held the pain and questions of thousands of patients. While social and cultural narratives about grief are dominated by "letting go, moving on, or turning the page" in his nearly decade of service as a chaplain at a major hospital with a designated level one trauma center J.S. understands firsthand how rushing or suppressing grief only adds a suffocating layer of pain on top of the original wound. 
    From his unique window into the stories of the ill, injured, dying, and their families, J.S. offers you:Permission to dismantle all too common myths about grief and replace them with a guilt-free and unrushed approach to navigating your losses.Encouragement for how entering grief, rather than avoiding it, leads to a hard but meaningful holding of your loss.Empathy and hope if you are struggling with a crisis of faith in the midst of grief.Recognition that grief spans a wide narrative of loss: loss of future, faith, mental health, worth, autonomy, connection, and loved ones.Affirmation that your grief is your own. While the DNA of grief might be universal to the human condition, how you experience and process grief is unique to you. 
      
    From the ER to deliveries to deathbeds across every sort of illness and injury imaginable, J.S. Park has provided meaningful counseling for people in all walks of life and death. Now, through his book he wants to assure you that, while everybody else might rush past your pain, grief is the voice that says, take as long as you need.
