Download or read book Somanatha written by Romila Thapar and published by Penguin Books India. This book was released on 2008 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Sober, Analytical Demonstration Of The Various Tellings Of The Sack Of Somnath & [Explores] Not Just The Politics Of Memory, But Also How Remembrances Play On The Certitude Of Facts Shahid Amin In Outlook In 1026, Mahmud Of Ghazni Raided The Temple Of Somanatha. The History Of This Raid And Subsequent Events At The Site Have Been Reconstructed In The Last Couple Of Centuries Largely On The Basis Of The Turko-Persian Sources. There Were Other Sources That Also Refer To Events At Somanatha Throughout A Period Of Almost A Thousand Years, But These Have Rarely Been Quoted When Reconstructing This History. Until Very Recent Times, There Were Few Attempts To Either Juxtapose Or Integrate These Other Texts In Order To Arrive At A More Complete Understanding Of The History Of Somanatha. Such Sources Include Local Sanskrit Inscriptions, Biographies Of Kings And Merchants Written From A Jaina Perspective, Epics Of Rajput-Turkish Relations Composed At Various Rajput Courts And Popular Narratives Of The Activities Of Pirs And Gurus, All Of Which, In Some Way, Have A Bearing On The History Of Somanatha. This Book Is An Attempt To Draw Together These Numerous Voices, To View The Sources Comparatively, But Above All To Place Each Narrative In A Historical Context. This Also Involves Exploring Why A Particular, And Often Distinctive, Perspective Was Adopted By Each. It Suggests A Different History Of Somanatha From The One That Has Been Projected Through The Last Two Centuries. It Also Effectively Underlines The Significance Of Examining The Historical Perceptions Of How Authors Present Events, Both In The Narratives Written In The Past And In The Interpretations Of Past Events In Present Times. A Remarkable Example Of Assiduous And Open-Ended Historiography Hindustan Times
Download or read book Random Musings of a Wandering Mind written by Jaspriya Gandhok and published by Writersgram. This book was released on 2023-07-10 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book is a collection of poems that are reflections of wide range of emotions and issues an individual experiences going through life. In the fast-paced world that we inhabit today, we become just another face in the crowd and our voice gets drowned in the cacophony, making us feel unmoored. While some poems give expression to hopelessness and despair that we feel from time to time, be it due to personal setbacks and losses or despondency we witness in the world around us. However, there is always an underlying belief that, in the end, resilience of human spirit triumphs over everything. These poems aspire to bring courage and hope for the reader.
Download or read book The Audubon Reader written by John James Audubon and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2015-01-21 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unprecedented anthology of John James Audubon’s lively and colorful writings about the American wilderness reintroduces the great artist and ornithologist as an exceptional American writer, a predecessor to Thoreau, Emerson, and Melville. Audubon’s award-winning biographer, Richard Rhodes, has gathered excerpts from his journals, letters, and published works, and has organized them to appeal to general readers. Rhodes’s unobtrusive commentary frames a wide range of selections, including Audubon’s vivid “bird biographies,” correspondence with his devoted wife, Lucy, journal accounts of dramatic river journeys and hunting trips with the Shawnee and Osage Indians, and a generous sampling of brief narrative episodes that have long been out of print—engaging stories of pioneer life such as "The Great Pine Swamp," “The Earthquake,” and “Kentucky Barbecue on the Fourth of July.” Full-color reproductions of sixteen of Audubon’s stunning watercolor illustrations accompany the text. The Audubon Reader allows us to experience Audubon’s distinctive voice directly and provides a window into his electrifying encounter with early America: with its wildlife and birds, its people, and its primordial wilderness.

Book excerpt: If you examine life close enough, you will find that there are reasons for about everything that exists or takes place. Is it too much to believe that the existence of God and good could be reasonable ideas? Would it be beyond reason to believe that God would have to be the most logical of all beings? This work is an excellent work to reason out the major concepts behind God, Good & Evil, Causes, Evolution & Intelligent Design, First Cause, Creation of the Universe, and why God must exist. Great for atheists and Christians, as well as other religions.Since it is very difficult to reason out God, good, and the meaning of life without spending many years of study, searching, and hard labor, the work that you now hold was created to explain via reason the existence of God, the good, some fallacies of science, and the meaning of life.

Book excerpt: Ireland 1973: a very different world. But a tiny village in County Dublin was about to lose its innocence for ever. On a bright and sunny June afternoon, a seven-year-old boy was left in the care of his teenage neighbour. No one knew, or would even have dreamed of suspecting, that the teenager was a Satanist. The two went out to the fields to look for rabbits. The child was never seen alive again. For the first time, in The Boy in the Attic, David Malone reveals the exact events of that summer day: how the youngster was lured to his death, how the teenager came to delve so deeply into the occult and the nightmarish scene awaiting police when they entered the attic. But there is another disturbing question - how is it that this murder, which was easily one of the most shocking and horrific in living memory, was barely reported upon at all? Why have you never heard of the boy in the attic until now?
