Sinopsis

Richard Wagner'Äôs "The Rhinegold & The Valkyrie," part of the monumental cycle "The Ring of the Niblung," offers a profound exploration of mythological themes interwoven with philosophical inquiries regarding power, betrayal, and redemption. With its rich, evocative language and complex characters, Wagner constructs a narrative echoing the operatic tradition while incorporating elements of Germanic legend. This work serves as both an allegory for the human condition and a critique of societal constructs, all conveyed through Wagner'Äôs innovative approach to musical drama that synergizes text and composition into a cohesive aesthetic experience. Richard Wagner, a prominent 19th-century composer and theorist, drew from his deep fascination with mythology and history to craft "The Ring of the Niblung." His revolutionary principles of gesamtkunstwerk'Äîthe fusion of music, text, and stagecraft'Äîwere influenced by his personal experiences, political beliefs, and a desire to elevate the opera as an art form. Wagner's life, marked by struggle against convention and a quest for artistic freedom, imbues this work with a sense of urgency and passion that resonates throughout the text. For readers captivated by the intersections of mythology, philosophy, and music, "The Rhinegold & The Valkyrie" emerges as an essential text that invites reflection on the darker aspects of ambition and desire. This masterful work not only enriches one's understanding of Wagner'Äôs operatic vision but also serves as a timeless commentary on the complexities of human nature, making it a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

Two celebrated Egyptologists bring to vivid life the intriguing and controversial reign of King Tut’s parents 
Akhenaten has been the subject of radically different, even contradictory, biographies. The king has achieved fame as the world’s first individual and the first monotheist, but others have seen him as an incestuous tyrant who nearly ruined the kingdom he ruled. The gold funerary mask of his son Tutankhamun and the painted bust of his wife Nefertiti are the most recognizable artifacts from all of ancient Egypt. But who are Akhenaten and Nefertiti? And what can we actually say about rulers who lived more than three thousand years ago? 
 
November 2022 marks the centennial of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun and although “King Tut” is a household name, his nine-year rule pales in comparison to the revolutionary reign of his parents. Akhenaten and Nefertiti became gods on earth by transforming Egyptian solar worship, innovating in art and urban design, and merging religion and politics in ways never attempted before. Combining fascinating scholarship, detective suspense, and adventurous thrills, Egypt’s Golden Couple is a journey through excavations, museums, hieroglyphic texts, and stunning artifacts. From clue to clue, renowned Egyptologists, John and Colleen Darnell, reconstruct an otherwise untold story of the magnificent reign of Akhenaten and Nefertiti.

From the earliest days of the Church, Christians have used icons—images of Christ—to engage with the story of their faith. However, icons are far more than ancient pictures of Jesus: they are windows on the holy and transcendental, and they tell the New Testament story in a way that makes it real even to those exploring it from a distance.

 
Knowing that this is a story based in geographical fact, J. Richard Smith has visited many of the places where the New Testament story happened, and here he takes us along on his travels tracing the story of icons, to places like Jerusalem, Athens, Istanbul and Cairo, and also to the final resting place of the Cloth of Edessa hidden in the hills in southern Italy. Combining spiritual writing, art history and travelogue, J. Richard Smith invites us to discover that there is more to icons than meets the eye.
