![]() ![]() ***************************************** The book is generously illustrated with maps, drawings, and photographs Depicted is the ancient landscape, and, also, many of the remarkable works of art that have come down to us from that ancient world. The decipherment of Linear B contributed enormously - revealing in the incised words of the Mycenæans themselves, much of what their life was like. This book, by a person who was directly involved with the study of this amazing early Greek culture, fully captures the lifestyle of the ancient inhabitants of Crete, capturing in words and pictures their daily routine, their arts and crafts, their religion, sports, and military prowess. ********************************************** The Mycenæan culture was, of course, based on Crete, where their capital city, Knossos, has been one of the most important archaeological sites. Professor Chadwick, along with Michael Ventris, cracked the secret of the ancient Mycenæan language, called Linear B, which were incised onto tablets and stone monuments - proving, in doing so, that Myceæan Linear B was actually an early form of Greek - thus changing forever the view of both science and history of the ancient Mediterranean civilizations. This is "The Mycenæan World" by philologist and classical scholar John Chadwick. ![]() ![]() ![]() Matilda's initial failure was thus contingent on circumstances and men unique to the 12th century. Henry acknowledged Matilda's right to rule, and made his nobles swear they would accept her as queen but her quick-witted cousin, Stephen, managed to undermine her claim by having himself crowned first. Then we are thrown back 400 years to Matilda, sole heiress of Henry I. We begin with Edward VI on his deathbed, learning therein about his friends and illnesses – not the stuff of queenship. How, then, could royal power lie in female hands?" The Tudor-centric viewpoint is the first problem. ![]() Man was the head of woman, and the king was the head of all. Specifically Castor claims to "expose the paradox which the female heir to the Tudor throne had no choice but to negotiate. Castor's book differs from Norton's in that it is limited to just five queens – Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, Margaret of Anjou, and Mary Tudor – and is concerned only with their political struggles. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you enjoy horror that breaks taboos, then you'll certainly be satisfied as the death count here is huge and features a rarely seen demographic of victims. If you love a story about strange rituals, unusual cults, and the occult then this is the sort of story you'll gobble right up. Life now revolves around a strange factory of unknown origin, and even weirder are the all-consuming sirens that emanate from it each night. Alas, when he returns he finds that the once lively-though rural-village has turned into a ghost town. In the wake of a strange phone call from his parents and an ominous apparition at his window, Kyochi decides it's time for a family reunion. Turning his hand to folk horror, Ito crafts another bleak homecoming in Village of the Siren. ![]() The devastating reason for that will soon be revealed, but in the meantime, his arrival coincides with a trend of young women seeking out "crossroads fortunes." Soon the bodies of school girls who ask strangers for their fortunes begin to turn up brutally murdered but who is to blame? How does it connect with Ryusuke's pass? This wonderfully chilly mystery is one of the most memorable of Ito's tales and introduces one of his scariest creations. The teen boy is moving back to his hometown after years away, but the simple notion of it haunts him. The first-and throughline-story from his Lovesickness collection is a great example of just that. ![]() ![]() Ito often writes of love and how it can curse us. ![]() ![]() But can Isobel escape her past and adapt to life and the chance of love on Merrion Square?

Scott of the New York Times, Waltz with Bashir fuses animation and documentary to create an experience unlike anything you’ve ever witnessed. Hailed as “a work of astonishing aesthetic integrity and searing moral power” by A.O. Folman’s decision to use animation to uncover the story of the massacre of three thousand civilians during the war is a brilliant one: freed from prosaic, literal images, the film abandons verisimilitude in favor of a vivid, surrealistic palette that reflects the unreliable memories of Folman’s subjects. In an effort to uncover the truth, he reconnects with old friends and dares to confront the horrors of war. Ari begins to wonder why his own memories are full of gaps. Filmmaker Ari Folman, an Israeli veteran of the First Lebanon War, encounters an old friend suffering from nightmares of the conflict. Inspired by actual events, Waltz with Bashir chronicles one man’s descent into his own half-forgotten past.
