Summary

Ancient Rebellions explores the uprisings that challenged and reshaped ancient empires, examining the dynamics of power, oppression, and the human desire for freedom. It delves into the heart of resistance movements, analyzing the socio-economic conditions that fueled discontent and the diverse strategies rebels employed, from open warfare to subtle defiance.

 
Consider, for example, the vast Roman Empire; beneath its grandeur simmered resentment fueled by heavy taxation and social inequality. The book argues that internal rebellions, often overlooked, played a crucial role in the trajectory of ancient empires.

 
This work analyzes major rebellions across various ancient empires, like the Spartacus Revolt or Jewish revolts against Roman rule. It progresses through case studies, analyzing the causes, strategies, and long-term consequences of each revolt.

 
Ultimately, the book provides a comparative analysis, identifying common patterns and unique characteristics to understand these conflicts' broader implications. This approach offers readers a comprehensive perspective on how uprisings shaped world history.

    Osho sees Zen not as a historical spiritual tradition but as the future spirituality of a humanity that has matured to the point that people no longer need religions controlled by priesthoods and based on fearful superstitions that cripple people's innate intelligence and divide them from one another.
This series of talks offers a deeper understanding of the underlying differences between Eastern and Western approaches to religion and the nature of consciousness. It's a beautiful introduction to a world where each individual has the capacity for an instant and profound understanding of existence and a rebirth of the trust in life that each of us is born with.
Dang Dang Doko Dang represents the sound of the drum beaten by a Zen master in an existential lesson for a disciple. As well as symbolizing the poetic quality of Zen, the title represents the special flavor of this collection of Osho's commentaries on well-known Zen stories. This volume is part of the Osho Classics series and also includes Osho's responses to questions about the meditation technique of Zazen.

    By the time he was brought to trial in 1992, Soviet serial killer Andrei Chikatilo had killed more than fifty women and children, often sexually abusing them and leaving their bodies mutilated beyond recognition. Although he was initially arrested in 1984, the police lacked enough evidence to pin the unsolved murders on him and he was able to torture and kill dozens more before his eventual conviction. Compiling exclusive interviews and trial transcripts, journalist and editor at London's Sunday Times Peter Conradi reveals how the grandfather and former teacher carried out a horrific twelve-year killing spree. 
 
 
  
Based on extensive research into Chikatilo's past and the elements of Soviet society that allowed his crimes to go unsolved for so long, Conradi delves into the life of one of history's most prolific and disturbing serial killers. Interviews with Moscow police detectives detail the fervent hunt for the man who preyed on young children, prostitutes, and runaways. 
 
 
  
A chilling look into the deranged mind of a monster, The Red Ripper is a comprehensive and shocking true crime account of one of the twentieth century's deadliest killers.
