Book excerpt: More from Vicky Bliss - the new heroine from the creator of the bestselling Amelia Peabody series A picture is worth a thousand words - but the photograph art historian Vicky Bliss has just received gives rise to a thousand questions instead. A quick glance at the blood-stained envelope is all the proof she needs that something is horribly wrong. The photo itself is familiar: a woman adorned in the gold of Troy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 3,000 years, tales of Troy and its heroes - Achilles and Hector, Paris and the legendary beauty Helen - have fired the human imagination.

Book Synopsis The Trojan War Museum: and Other Stories by : Ayse Papatya Bucak
Download or read book The Trojan War Museum: and Other Stories written by Ayse Papatya Bucak and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A debut story collection of spectacular imaginative range and lyricism from a Pushcart Prize–winning author. In Ayse Papatya Bucak’s dreamlike narratives, dead girls recount the effects of an earthquake and a chess-playing automaton falls in love. A student stops eating and no one knows whether her act is personal or political. A Turkish wrestler, a hero in the East, is seen as a brute in the West. The anguish of an Armenian refugee is “performed” at an American fund-raiser. An Ottoman ambassador in Paris amasses a tantalizing collection of erotic art. And in the masterful title story, the Greek god Apollo confronts his personal history and bewails his Homeric reputation as he tries to memorialize, and make sense of, generations of war. A joy and a provocation, Bucak’s stories confront the nature of historical memory with humor and humanity. Surreal and poignant, they examine the tension between myth and history, cultural categories and personal identity, performance and authenticity.
Download or read book Who Owns Antiquity? written by James Cuno and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether antiquities should be returned to the countries where they were found is one of the most urgent and controversial issues in the art world today, and it has pitted museums, private collectors, and dealers against source countries, archaeologists, and academics. Maintaining that the acquisition of undocumented antiquities by museums encourages the looting of archaeological sites, countries such as Italy, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, and China have claimed ancient artifacts as state property, called for their return from museums around the world, and passed laws against their future export. But in Who Owns Antiquity?, one of the world's leading museum directors vigorously challenges this nationalistic position, arguing that it is damaging and often disingenuous. "Antiquities," James Cuno argues, "are the cultural property of all humankind," "evidence of the world's ancient past and not that of a particular modern nation. They comprise antiquity, and antiquity knows no borders." Cuno argues that nationalistic retention and reclamation policies impede common access to this common heritage and encourage a dubious and dangerous politicization of antiquities--and of culture itself. Antiquities need to be protected from looting but also from nationalistic identity politics. To do this, Cuno calls for measures to broaden rather than restrict international access to antiquities. He advocates restoration of the system under which source countries would share newly discovered artifacts in exchange for archaeological help, and he argues that museums should again be allowed reasonable ways to acquire undocumented antiquities. Cuno explains how partage broadened access to our ancient heritage and helped create national museums in Cairo, Baghdad, and Kabul. The first extended defense of the side of museums in the struggle over antiquities, Who Owns Antiquity? is sure to be as important as it is controversial.

Book excerpt: The candid, never-before-heard history of the past 40 years of USC Trojans Football—whose storied alumni include O.J.Simpson, Reggie Bush, Keyshawn Johnson, and more—as told by the players and coaches who survived it “The untold story behind USC’s success on the field and the scandal off it, from those who lived it day after day.”—Armen Keteyian, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tiger Woods and correspondent for 60 Minutes Sports Over the years, USC has produced an almost unrivaled level of success: 11 national titles, 38 conference championships, 7 Heisman Trophy winners and 80 All-Americans, while also grooming countless NFL stars. From Todd Marinovich and Keyshawn Johnson to Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart, some of the greatest and most memorable college football players of all time have suited up for the Trojans. And under the leadership of legendary coaches like John Robinson and Pete Carroll, they’ve played in some of college football’s most celebrated big games. At the same time, few big-time football programs are as tumultuous as USC. From battles with the NCAA to bitter internal conflicts between coaches, players, and administration and all-out brawls with hated rivals like Notre Dame, the Trojans’ dominance has often gone hand in hand with controversy. In Cardinal and Gold, respected journalist Steve Delsohn tells the full and unvarnished story of the USC program at its best and worst. From the dynastic “Tailback U” years of the 1970s, to the dominance of the Carroll years, right through the upheaval of the modern era, Cardinal and Gold is a must-read for any fan of USC or major college football.

Download or read book Gold of Troy written by Robert Payne and published by . This book was released on 1991-05 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards the end of last century, a shabbily dressed old scholar was to be seen wandering over an obscure mound in Asia Minor. He had discovered ancient Troy. Most unscientific of archaeologists, Heinrich Schliemann nevertheless founded the modern science of archeology. Schliemann had made four fortunes. He had travelled half the world, sired three children by a Russian wife, and learned a dozen languages. Perseverance had turned this penniless grocer clerk into the successful businessman personified. Yet for many years his wealth had tasted like ashes. He still did not know what he wanted. Then, while studying philology at the Sorbonne in his forty-sixth year, he remembered the stories of the ancient Greek heroes--and set out to uncover buried Troy. His search was quickened by a fierce hunger for gold. Instinctively he chose his spots and ordered the workmen to dig. Twice he discovered great treasures of gold. Then he secured a divorce and asked a Greek bishop to find him a new wife who was good, beautiful and an enthusiast for Homer. With the lovely seventeen-year old Sophia, whom he chose from a photograph, he began his most successful archaeological excavations. Against hope, against all the evidence, this strange man discovered the walls of Troy, King Priam's palace and enough antiquities to furnish a whole museum. -- Dust jacket flaps.

Book excerpt: "One of the enduring stories of the last century is the astounding 1873 discovery by the first modern archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann, of the lost gold of Priam, king of ancient Troy. With the biographical skill that drew such praise for her book Bertrand Russell, Caroline Moorehead explores Schliemann's extraordinary life and how he contrived to smuggle the nine thousand gold chains, elaborate silver pictures, gold coins, and other amazing artifacts from his dig in Asia Minor to his government in Berlin." "Schliemann's treasures of Troy, lost when pillaged by the Nazis during World War II, received front-page coverage in 1993 when they were revealed to be residing in Moscow, having been looted in 1945 by the Russians. Here is the account, thrilling to historians, Russia-watchers, and anyone intrigued by an investigation, of how Moorehead found her way past bureaucratic defenses to learn the whereabouts of and the truth about this legendary collection."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
