Sinossi

Myth Reworks explores the fascinating intersection of ancient mythology and contemporary fantasy literature. It examines how enduring narratives, symbols, and archetypes from historical religious and belief systems are reconfigured in modern storytelling. The book highlights the idea that these reworkings aren't mere creative borrowing, but a reflection of our ongoing need to grapple with fundamental questions about identity and morality. For example, ancient sacred spaces are often reimagined in fantasy settings, carrying symbolic weight that resonates with audiences even today.

 
The book delves into the adaptation of mythological figures, the restructuring of ancient story patterns, and the reimagining of sacred spaces. It dissects how figures like gods and heroes are recast for modern narrative purposes. It also analyzes how traditional plot structures, such as the hero's journey, are deconstructed and reassembled to address contemporary themes. This approach offers valuable insights into the origins of our cultural narratives and the evolving nature of storytelling, showing how ancient myths continue to shape our modern understanding.

 
The book begins by exploring the historical development of mythology, tracing its evolution from ancient religious practices to its role as a source of literary inspiration. Subsequent sections address the adaptation of mythological figures, the manipulation of story patterns, and the reinvention of sacred spaces. The final chapter synthesizes these findings, offering a broader perspective on the cultural significance of myth reworking and its implications for the future of fantasy.

    In the Age of Industrialization, economics, society, politics, and culture collided. In particular, the Industrial Revolution provided the underpinnings of Europe's societal transformations and decisively shaped the century, including changes in mass culture and the growth of democratic challenges to existing political institutions. This series of lectures explores specific technologies, most of which we take for granted today, to offer a general picture of the economic and social development of Western nations from 1760 to 1900.

    A Manual of Buddhism 
    By Dudley Wright 
    Introduction by Professor Edmund J. Mills 
    Narrated by Oberon Michaels 
    Buddhism has a vast array of scriptures but a relatively small body of essential doctrines. In this short treatise the author presents a systematic introduction to Buddhist teaching, commencing with a discussion of the Noble Eightfold Path. Other topics include the Buddhist views of God and enlightenment, and the practice of Buddhism in the world of today. 
    Dudley Wright (1868 - 1949) wrote extensively on a wide variety of religious subjects and was also active as an investigator of the paranormal. He was a practising Freemason, who believed that all religions shared a common basis.

    As the issue of slavery roiled the country, few people became as controversial or consequential as Nat Turner, who was one of millions of slaves in the South before the Civil War but ultimately led the nation’s most notorious slave uprising. In August 1831, Turner led a rebellion that terrorized Virginia for several days, killing dozens of whites and freeing slaves as his band moved from plantation to plantation. The Richmond Enquirer reported, “A fanatic preacher by the name of Nat Turner (Gen. Nat Turner) who had been taught to read and write, and permitted to go about preaching in the country, was at the bottom of this infernal brigandage. He was artful, impudent and vindicative, without any cause or provocation, that could be assigned.” Even after the uprising was put down, Turner evaded capture for a few months, and after he was captured, his “confessions” were taken down and published before he was executed. Virginia would put a total of 56 slaves to death for the uprising. 
    	While Turner’s rebellion remains famous today, a far larger uprising took place a generation earlier. In January 1811, hundreds of slaves in Louisiana attempted to make a new beginning for themselves or die trying. Armed with muskets, cane knives, and axes, and wearing stolen United States militia uniforms, they set out to conquer the city of New Orleans. The goal was to establish a free republic where slavery was outlawed and blacks had control over their own lives. Understandably discontented with their status and no longer willing to accept it, they were ready to engage in extreme violence to win their freedom. Despite being unsuccessful in overthrowing the system, the German Coast Uprising showed a level of organization, leadership, and coordination unseen before by slaves in America, and it was totally unexpected by white owners and officials, which made it a precursor to its much more famous successor.

    Plato’s Critias is the foundational source of one of the most enduring mysteries in human history: the lost civilization of Atlantis. In this unfinished dialogue, Plato unveils a majestic tale passed down through Solon from ancient Egyptian priests—of a powerful empire beyond the Pillars of Heracles, rich in technology, beauty, and ambition. 
    But this is no mere fantasy. Critias blends myth, philosophy, and political allegory to offer a cautionary vision: the rise and fall of a mighty civilization undone by its hubris. Through detailed descriptions of Atlantis’s geography, military power, and social organization, Plato reveals not only a mythic past but a philosophical warning to the future. 
    Why did Atlantis fall? What makes a society just or unjust? What happens when divine order is abandoned for mortal pride? Though the dialogue ends abruptly, its impact has echoed through millennia—fueling imaginations, explorations, and philosophical debates ever since. 
    This audiobook delivers Critias in its full glory: a glimpse into Plato’s unfinished vision of a civilization that may have once been—or was meant to be a mirror of our own.
