Beschreibung

Governor William Bradford's Letter Book is a meticulously curated collection of primary documents that illuminate the life and governance of the Plymouth Colony during the early 17th century. Composed with a clarity that belies the complexity of its time, Bradford's letters are both personal and political, reflecting the struggles, triumphs, and daily realities faced by one of America'Äôs foundational leaders. His prose, steeped in Puritanical thought, offers insights into the socio-religious context of colonial life, intertwining themes of community, faith, and survival amidst the harsh New England landscape. William Bradford, an influential figure in early American history, served as the governor of Plymouth Colony for over three decades. His firsthand experiences as a Separatist fleeing religious persecution in England informed his governance and shaped his commitment to creating a community grounded in shared values and mutual support. The Letter Book provides essential perspectives not only on Bradford's leadership but also on the broader implications of colonial expansion and the interplay between indigenous populations and European settlers. This collection is an invaluable resource for historians, literary scholars, and anyone interested in early American history. Bradford's letters serve as a time capsule, offering an authentic glimpse into the trials and tribulations of a fledgling society. By engaging with this work, readers will deepen their understanding of the historical complexities that birthed modern America.

    Christopher Columbus was an Italian navigator and explorer who made 4 explorations across the Atlantic Ocean, paving the course for European discovery and settlement of the Americas. His journeys were the first European contacts with the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, and were financed by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain. 
    Christopher Columbus is an Anglicization of “Christophorus Columbus,” a Latin name. Columbus was born in the Republic of Genoa and spoke a Ligurian dialect as his mother tongue, according to most intellectuals. He went to sea at an early age and traveled all over the world, as far north as the British Islands and as far south as Ghana. He wed Filipa Moniz Perestrelo, a Portuguese noblewoman, and resided in Lisbon for some years, but later on wed a Castilian girlfriend, with whom he had one child. Columbus, who was primarily self-taught, was skilled in geography, astronomy, and history. He created a technique to find a western sea path to the East Indies, with the objective of benefiting from the wealthy spice trade. 
    Christopher Columbus has had a huge impact on the discovery of the American continent, and is still honored and respected to this day, despite of the controversies around his behavior and interaction with the locals. Let’s see what these contradicting opinions are all about.

    Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a revolutionary in Mexico. He was a key figure in the Mexican Revolt of the years 1910 until 1920, and also the primary leader of the people's revolution in the Mexican state of Morelos and the creator of the Zapatismo agrarian movement. 
    Zapata was born in the rural town of Anenecuilco in the state of Morelos, at the time of a period when peasant communities dealt with increasing pressure from the small-landowning class, which monopolized land and water resources for sugar-cane production with the support of totalitarian Porfirio Daz (President from the year 1877 to 1880 and from 1884 to 1911). 
    Zapata was associated with political efforts against Daz and the landowning hacendados from an early age, and when the Revolution emerged in the year 1910, he was placed as a key figure in the peasant insurgence in Morelos. He established the Freedom Army of the South with the help of certain other peasant leaders, and he rapidly rose to become its undisputed head. 
    Let’s learn more about this historical figure through this book.

    He stopped suddenly. His vision was getting muddled and he started mumbling the lines from the Quran.
    Zeenat got up and looked out of the window. She could hear him utter,
    'La ilahi illillah.'
    Dawn was breaking on the horizon. Aurangzeb's soft uttering of the words from the Quran could be heard in the silence of the morning. The rays of the first light spread themselves in the room and reached the bedside. It was much later Zeenat realized the silence in the room. The words had stopped. She rushed to the bed and touched his forehead. A scream erupted from the tent,
    'Ya Allah! Ya Khuda!

    The Golden Age Restored is a stunning piece of alchemical work that is vivid in its descriptions and a Jungian utopia for dream analysis and analogy of the individuation process.Originally written in 1622 by a German physician and alchemist under the pseudonym Henry Madathanas, The Golden Age Restored was published publically in the Musaeum Hermeticum (1625) and later translated into English by Arthur Edward Waite in his work The Hermetic Museum, Vol. I (1893). Waite's version of the text has been diligently edited by Jones so that it can be easily digested by modern readers.Jones has also included a foreword introducing the text and diligently footnoted the work to give meaning and context to the original writing.
