Synopsis

In the vast expanse of post-Soviet Russia, a land of contrasts and contradictions, a journey of transformation unfolds. This book takes readers on an immersive exploration of Russia's political, economic, social, and cultural landscapes, revealing the challenges and opportunities it faces in the 21st century.

Through the eyes of ordinary citizens, oligarchs, and political leaders, we witness the country's struggle to find its identity amidst the ruins of the Soviet Union. We delve into the complexities of Russia's transition from communism to capitalism, examining the economic turmoil, social upheaval, and political instability that have marked this period. Yet, amidst the chaos, we also discover resilience, hope, and a determination to build a better future.

We explore Russia's complex relationship with the West, from the Cold War era to the present day. We examine the country's role in global affairs, from its involvement in conflicts in Ukraine and Syria to its growing assertiveness on the international stage. We also investigate Russia's domestic challenges, including the rise of nationalism, the struggle for human rights, and the ongoing fight against corruption.

This book is a journey through a land of both great promise and great peril. It is a story of a nation grappling with its past, confronting its present, and shaping its future. Through vivid storytelling and in-depth analysis, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of post-Soviet Russia, a country that continues to fascinate and intrigue the world.

In these pages, readers will find a deeper appreciation for the complexities of Russia, its people, and its culture. They will gain a new perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing the country as it navigates the 21st century. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand one of the most important countries in the world today.

  • Viracocha: The History and Legacy of the Inca’s Creator God - cover

    Viracocha: The History and...

    Although the Inca’s oral traditions suggested that the history of the region began with their empire, the various gods and the religious ceremonies of the peoples that inhabited the Inca’s lands before their arrival were assimilated into the Inca Empire and were incorporated into Inca religion. However, under Inca rule, all those gods were to be subordinate to those gods of the Incas themselves, so as to ensure that imperial authority was clear and without dispute among all quarters of the empire.  
    	Viracocha was the primary god in the Inca pantheon as the origin and creator of all things. His son, the god Inti, or the Sun, was married to Mama Quilla, the Moon, who was also created by Viracocha. According to one myth, Inti was the father of Manco Cápac, the founder of the Inca ruling dynasty, but it was believed by some that Viracocha himself fathered Manco Cápac. In practice, the Inca centered their religious worship on Inti, and this god's High Priest was the second most important person in Inca society. The god Inti was honored at an annual celebration held each June, and the Inti Raymi festival included sacrifices, feasts and sexual abstinence. This cosmology was imposed throughout the empire, and temples to the Sun were constructed and staffed by religious officials who were allotted farmland called “lands of the Sun.” Other local cults were provided with produce from these lands as well.  
    	The main temple of Inca religion was the Coricancha or Sun Temple in Cuzco, in which was kept the great golden disk of the Sun. The disk was appropriated by the Spanish in 1571 and sent off to the Pope. While it has disappeared, perhaps lost somewhere during the tortuous route to Spain, it remains alive in the fabulous world of adventure story writers, New Age mystics and manufacturers of souvenirs. It became a major element in the iconography of the 19th century independence movement in South America.

    In this sequel to The History of Sexuality, Volume I: An Introduction, the brilliantly original French thinker who died in 1984 gives an analysis of how the ancient Greeks perceived sexuality. 
     
     
     
    Throughout The Use of Pleasure Foucault analyzes an irresistible array of ancient Greek texts on eroticism as he tries to answer basic questions: How in the West did sexual experience become a moral issue? And why were other appetites of the body, such as hunger, and collective concerns, such as civic duty, not subjected to the numberless rules and regulations and judgments that have defined, if not confined, sexual behavior?

Additionally, how will these GOP candidates appeal to evangelicals and how well will it work out? At the same time, the candidates are catering to the Tea Party crowd.

    What made the Romans laugh? Was ancient Rome a carnival, filled with practical jokes and hearty chuckles? Or was it a carefully regulated culture in which the uncontrollable excess of laughter was a force to fear—a world of wit, irony, and knowing smiles? How did Romans make sense of laughter? What role did it play in the world of the law courts, the imperial palace, or the spectacles of the arena? 
     
     
     
    Laughter in Ancient Rome explores one of the most intriguing, but also trickiest, of historical subjects. Drawing on a wide range of Roman writing—from essays on rhetoric to a surviving Roman joke book—Mary Beard tracks down the giggles, smirks, and guffaws of the ancient Romans themselves. From ancient "monkey business" to the role of a chuckle in a culture of tyranny, she explores Roman humor from the hilarious, to the momentous, to the surprising. But she also reflects on even bigger historical questions. What kind of history of laughter can we possibly tell? Can we ever really "get" the Romans' jokes?
