Three Women of Herat - Afghanistan 1973–77

Veronica Doubleday

Beschreibung

It's Afghanistan before the Soviet invasion, and Veronica Doubleday and her husband settle in Herat, where John is planning to study the local musical tradition. Veronica makes friends with three very different young women, slowly immersing herself in the unfamiliar world of Herati female culture. Although constrained by tradition, these women are far from submissive, each skilfully exerting influence in the management of their lives. They welcome Veronica into their homes and include her in family events and celebrations. It's a world of intense friendships, music-making, support and laughter, as well as illness, hardship and sadness. Veronica inhabits their world without judgement, even wearing a veil herself, and gives us rare, deep and privileged access to a hidden realm.

Dog Lessons - Learning the...

Hersch Wilson

"The world is a very narrow bridge. Cross it with a dog." 
 
 
 
"When in doubt, walk your dog" is the first of many valuable maxims in Dog Lessons, a heartfelt reflection on what dogs can teach us when we open ourselves to listen and learn. After sixty-plus years living and working with dogs, Hersch Wilson shares self-deprecating stories and lighthearted musings on a life filled with fur-covered furniture, unexplained messes, and destroyed property. The resulting compendium of dog wisdom—from universal values like loyalty and curiosity to practical lessons on napping, playing, and avoiding a serious fight—is not only poignant but eminently good advice.

The Rosetta Stone - Key to...

Omar Khalil

The discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799 was a momentous event in the history of archaeology and linguistics. The stone, a large slab of granodiorite, was found by a French soldier named Pierre-François Bouchard during Napoleon Bonaparte’s military campaign in Egypt. While working near the town of Rashid (or Rosetta), Bouchard uncovered the stone, which contained an inscription in three different scripts: Ancient Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Demotic. At the time, Egypt was under French control, and the discovery was initially made by a team of French engineers working on fortifications.
The significance of the stone would not be immediately apparent, as the study of hieroglyphs had long been a mystery to scholars. Despite attempts by earlier scholars, no one had yet succeeded in translating the ancient Egyptian script, leaving a vast portion of Egypt’s history locked away. The discovery of the Rosetta Stone, however, offered a potential breakthrough due to its trilingual inscription, which allowed for comparison between the known Greek text and the two unknown Egyptian scripts.
The stone’s inscription itself was a royal decree issued in 196 BCE by the Egyptian priests in honor of King Ptolemy V Epiphanes. It celebrated his reign and the various accomplishments he had achieved, including his efforts to maintain peace and the prosperity of Egypt. The decree was written in three scripts to ensure it would be understood by various segments of society—the Greek script for the Greek-speaking rulers and officials, the Demotic script for the common Egyptian people, and the hieroglyphic script for the priests and religious authorities.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
The Lord of the Rings is an epic high fantasy novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, originally intended as a sequel to The Hobbit. The story, set in Middle-earth, follows the quest to destroy the One Ring, created by the Dark Lord Sauron, who is the main antagonist. The narrative is seen primarily through the eyes of the hobbits Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin, who are aided by the wizard Gandalf and other members of the Fellowship. Though often called a trilogy, it was meant to be a single volume. The work has had a huge impact on fantasy literature, popular culture, and has been adapted into various forms like radio, film and video games.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The Lord of the Rings was initially intended to be a single volume work, but was published in three volumes for economic reasons. The three volumes were released over the course of a year, from 1954 to 1955.
The title refers to the main antagonist, the Dark Lord Sauron, who created the One Ring to try and rule Middle-earth. The story follows the quest to destroy this ring.
J.R.R. Tolkien considered The Lord of the Rings to be a "heroic romance," rather than a novel. This is a distinction that he felt was important.
The work includes over 60 poems of different genres, which scholars see as essential to the fiction's aesthetics and themes. These poems add information not given in the prose and bring out characters and their backgrounds.
Tolkien used his own maps of Middle-earth as a guide while writing, ensuring that the story's elements fit together in time and space. However, only the maps and the inscription on the Ring were included in the first edition.
