Book Synopsis Killing Rasputin by : Margarita Nelipa
Download or read book Killing Rasputin written by Margarita Nelipa and published by WildBlue Press. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look into the life of the so-called “Mad Monk” of Imperial Russia, his murder, and the effects of his death on a dynasty, a people, and a country. Written in three parts, Killing Rasputin begins with a biography that describes how a simple unkempt “holy man” from the wilds of Siberia became a friend of Emperor Nicholas II and his empress, Alexandra, at the most crucial moment in Russian history. Part Two examines the infamous murder of Rasputin through the lens of a “cold case” homicide investigation. And lastly, the book considers the connection between a cold-blooded assassination and the revolution that followed; a revolution that led to civil war and the rise of the Soviet Union. Unique about this book on Rasputin, is that the author combines Russian heritage (her parents were forced out of Russia during World War II and arrived as refugees in Australia in 1948) with medical science and legal training. Nelipa relied on Russian-language sources that she translated rather than depend on the interpretations of others. Her primary sources include police documents and witness testimonies, an autopsy report, diaries, letters and memoirs written in their native language by the participants in these historic events. Secondary sources include Russian-languages newspapers and other publications from that era. The narrative is copiously referenced and augmented with photographs (including graphic forensic photographs) and other documents, some of them published here for the first time. Step into the imperial court of a 300-year-old dynasty in its final days with one of the most fascinating characters ever to grab our imaginations, judge whether Margarita Nelipa makes her case regarding his death, and if you agree that it was “the murder that ended the Russian empire.” Praise for Killing Rasputin “You can almost hear the whispering conspiracies and intrigues in the court of Nicholas and Alexandra. . . . A dramatic history with a touch of true crime.” —Steve Jackson, New York Times–bestselling author of Bogeyman

Book Synopsis Women and Slaves in Greco-Roman Culture by : Sandra R. Joshel
Download or read book Women and Slaves in Greco-Roman Culture written by Sandra R. Joshel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-08-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and Slaves in Classical Culture examines how ancient societies were organized around slave-holding and the subordination of women to reveal how women and slaves interacted with one another in both the cultural representations and the social realities of the Greco-Roman world. The contributors explore a broad range of evidence including: * the mythical constructions of epic and drama * the love poems of Ovid * the Greek medical writers * Augustine's autobiography * a haunting account of an unnamed Roman slave * the archaeological remains of a slave mining camp near Athens. They argue that the distinctions between male and female and servile and free were inextricably connected. This erudite and well-documented book provokes questions about how we can hope to recapture the experience and subjectivity of ancient women and slaves and addresses the ways in which femaleness and servility interacted with other forms of difference, such as class, gender and status. Women and Slaves in Classical Culture offers a stimulating and frequently controversial insight into the complexities of gender and status in the Greco-Roman world.
Book Synopsis The Greatest Strategist by : Kaleb Kohlhase
Download or read book The Greatest Strategist written by Kaleb Kohlhase and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-06-19 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Revelation tells us that there will soon be a war to end all wars—one defined by the Prince of Evil squaring off against the King of Light. While we must keep that final battle in our minds at all times, there are also struggles we must face now. In this book, the author provides guidance on overcoming obstacles and considers difficult questions that Christians have struggled to answer for generations, including: •Why are there so many translations to the Bible—and can they all be trusted? •Why did the Lord curse all of humanity over the eating of some fruit? •Does the Bible condone slavery, and if so, why? •Why does the Bible have so many nitpicky rules? The author also examines the concept of suffering, which can be a challenging topic as God allows even good people to suffer. God is the king of all kings, the lord of all lords, and the priest of all priests. He is exalted above all. Find out why he’s the best at what a king should do, which includes leading his followers into battle.
Download or read book KILLER written by YU WANG and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the background of modern metropolis, the novel delves into the angst and redemption of an international killer who leads an obscure life in the urban hustle and bustle, and who therefore is untouchable by the public discourse. Through the philosophical musings of occupational gains, emotional issues, and logical relations of the world, the book offers a Kafkaesque self-interrogation and a rapidly-pulsating, Dostoevskian reading experience, while its intertextuality of violence and urban glamor allows room for a profusion of vivid characters and various social experiences, turning the book into a kaleidoscopic, contemporary dissection of the daily life of the urban middle class, as well as the social natures of different walks of life. Beneath the dynamic action scenes that quite exhibit a cinematic touch of Takeshi Kitano, the protagonist constantly raises metaphysical questions upon morality and existence, in a brand-new contemporary format.

Book Synopsis The San Saba Treasure by : David C. Lewis
Download or read book The San Saba Treasure written by David C. Lewis and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1868, four treasure hunters from San Marcos, Texas, searched for a lost mine on the San Saba River, near today’s Menard. It was popularized as folklore in J. Frank Dobie’s treasure legend classic Coronado’s Children. One hundred and fifty years later, a descendant of one of those four men set out to discover the history behind the legend. This book recounts that search, from the founding of the ill-fated 1757 mission on the San Saba River up to the last attempt, in 1990, to find the treasure in this particular legend. It describes Jim Bowie, a fake treasure map industry, murder trials, a rattlesnake dancer, fortunes lost, a very long Texas cave, and surprising twists to the story popularized by Dobie. The book will not lead anyone to the legendary ten-thousand pounds of silver, but it will open a treasure trove of Texas history and the unique characters who hunted the fabulous riches.
