GENGHIS KHAN The mystery of the Last Trail
This is the story of seven years of explorations and adventures among the mountains and steppes of Mongolia, searching the secret tomb of Genghis Khan. Year after year, step by step, the author explored unknown tracks and forbidden places, where breaking the taboos once led to a deadly outcome, remaining loaded with unpredictable dangers to this day. Through a multi-disciplinary research, the author has succeeded in locating the imperial cemetery but, when the search is over, a top secret plot tries to stop him. Is this the proof that research has reached his goal?
The Secret History of the Mongols, VOLUME 3 (Supplement)
Volume Three of Igor de Rachewiltz’s annotated translation of the Secret History of the Mongols (Brill 2004, 2006), now regarded as the standard English version of this epic biography of Činggis Qan, is both a complement and a supplement to the first two volumes. On the one hand it revises and updates the work to the end of 2012, and on the other it introduces new interpretations and ideas about both the identity of its anonymous author and the date of its composition. It is, therefore, an indispensable companion volume for all readers and users of the earliest Mongolian literary production which contains, in the words of Arthur Waley, ‘some of the most vivid primitive literature that exists anywhere in the world.’ The Secret History of the Mongols has been selected by Choice as Outstanding Academic Title (2005).
Ecstasies
Weaving early accounts of witchcraft—trial records, ecclesiastical tracts, folklore, and popular iconography—into new and startling patterns, Carlo Ginzburg presents in Ecstasies compelling evidence of a hidden shamanistic culture that flourished across Europe and in England for thousands of years.
Carta straccia (VINTAGE)
La faziosità politica. Gli errori a raffica. Le interviste ruffiane. Le vendette tra colleghi. Lo schierarsi in campi contrapposti, divisi da un'ostilità profonda. Dopo cinquant'anni trascorsi nei giornali, lavorando in molte testate con incarichi diversi, Giampaolo Pansa fa di quel mondo un racconto all'arma bianca, implacabile, che non fa sconti a nessuno. Tra passato e presente, mette in scena una quantità di personaggi, tutti attori di una recita spesso ingannevole e deviata: l'informazione stampata e televisiva, di volta in volta commedia o tragedia.
La reforma protestante desde el margen: A 500 años del evento banal que revolucionó la cultura de Occidente
La imagen de cubierta corresponde al frontispicio de un panfleto redactado por Johannes Cochlaeus: “Las siete cabezas de Martín Lutero”. Editado en latín y alemán en 1529, en Leipzig, Sieben Kopffe Martini Luthers o Luther septiceps intentaba contrarrestar las consecuencias de la polémica iniciada por Lutero en 1517. Una Reforma que comportaría la destrucción de un mundo. Este monstruo, que sugería asociar a Lutero con la bestia del apocalipsis, resume cómica y severamente el conjunto de objetivos que aborda este libro: entrever las raíces del movimiento reformado como reacción a una teología escolástica, a una eclesiología gregoriana y a prácticas monacales, evangélicas y...
The Phaistós Disc. the Longest Cretan Hieroglyphic Inscription (Part One: the Writing Direction)
The author's more than twenty-year research on Phaistós' disc and on Cretan 'hieroglyphic' writing, offers here a partial but original interpretation of the enigma that, for over a century, engages the scholars of the Minoan civilization. Through the combinatorial method of internal analysis of the hieroglyphic sequence, noted a space free of signs and evaluated the importance of the correction of errors, he demonstrates how the deductions drawn from the superimposition of signs must now be revised, in the light of the deformation of other signs, caused by the impression on the soft clay of the sign on their right. In March 2018, by means of photographic enlargements, he finally discovers on Phaistós' disc a detail never before considered by anyone, which proves in an incontrovertible way the verse of writing from left to right, from the center to the periphery of the disc.
