Sinopse

In 'The History of Persecution, from the Patriarchal Age, to the Reign of George II,' Samuel Chandler presents a sweeping analysis of the socio-political dynamics underlying religious persecution throughout history. Using a chronological framework, this erudite work examines the patterns of oppression against various religious groups, from ancient societies to the early modern period. Chandler's prose is characterized by its rigorous attention to detail and a commitment to presenting a balanced narrative, which invites readers to consider the ethical implications of religious intolerance across different epochs. Notably, his examination reveals the cyclical nature of persecution, wherein historical parallels resonate within contemporary issues of faith and freedom. Samuel Chandler, a prominent Dissenting minister and theologian of the 18th century, was deeply influenced by the religious climate of his time, particularly the struggles faced by nonconformists in England. His own experiences with persecution informed his scholarly pursuits, prompting him to explore broader themes of liberty and justice. Combined with his academic background and religious convictions, Chandler felt compelled to illuminate the often-ignored historical injustices that could inspire reflection and change among his contemporaries. Readers seeking a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the patterns of persecution across history will find Chandler's work invaluable. This book serves as both a historical record and a call to action against ongoing injustices, resonating powerfully in today's world. Scholars, students, and anyone interested in the evolution of religious freedom will appreciate Chandler'Äôs meticulous research and compelling narrative.

    An inviting and accessible new translation of Aristotle's complete Poetics—the first and best introduction to the art of writing and understanding stories 
     
     
     
    Aristotle's Poetics is the most important book ever written for writers and readers of stories—whether novels, short fiction, plays, screenplays, or nonfiction. Aristotle was the first to identify the keys to plot, character, audience perception, tragic pleasure, and dozens of other critical points of good storytelling. Despite being written more than 2,000 years ago, the Poetics remains essential reading for anyone who wants to learn how to write a captivating story—or understand how such stories work and achieve their psychological effects. Yet for all its influence, the Poetics is too little read because it comes down to us in a form that is often difficult to follow, and even the best translations are geared more to specialists than to general readers who simply want to grasp Aristotle's profound and practical insights. In How to Tell a Story, Philip Freeman presents the most accessible translation of the Poetics yet produced, making this indispensable book more engaging and useful than ever before.

    This bundle offers a compelling exploration of the complex and often turbulent history of colonial conflict in the Southern Hemisphere. This three-part volume dives into the significant struggles that shaped the histories of Australia and New Zealand, shedding light on the fierce resistance of Indigenous communities against colonial powers.  
    The first section, Australia’s War, delves into the violent clashes between European settlers and Aboriginal Australians, exploring the devastating impact of colonization, frontier warfare, and the long-lasting consequences on Indigenous communities.  
    The second section, New Zealand Wars, examines the series of 19th-century armed conflicts between the British Crown and various Māori iwi (tribes), driven by land disputes, cultural resistance, and the fight for sovereignty.  
    The final section, The Māori and the Pākehā, offers a broader understanding of the cultural and political dynamics between the Māori and the European settlers (Pākehā), exploring themes of adaptation, resistance, and the ongoing struggle for recognition and rights. Together, these three perspectives provide a powerful and nuanced account of colonial conflict and Indigenous resilience, making this book essential reading for those seeking to understand the legacy of colonization in Australia and New Zealand.
