Описание: Finding a precious object – a gem, a ring or a coin – inside the belly of a fish is a favorite motif in western literatures that can be traced back to the Greek historian Herodotus. In Herodotus’ account of the rise and fall of the tyrant Polycrates of Samos, the hero cast his beloved ring, his «most precious possession», into the sea in order to appease or fend off the gods’ envy of his unstoppable successes, but was ultimately disappointed to discover that same ring inside a serving of fish that was placed before him to eat, thereby signaling the beginning of his tragic downfall. The Most Precious Possession: The Ring of Polycrates in Ancient Religious Narratives examines variations on this motif as they appear in ancient religious texts, including the Gospel of Matthew, Jewish Midrash and Talmud, and Augustine’s City of God. It explores how the theme functions in relation to the authors’ respective religious outlooks and literary objectives and what we can learn from these examples about the processes of transmission, interaction and cultural adaptation that occurred among the diverse religious communities of the ancient Mediterranean basin.

Описание: Port Phillip's free settlers often said that they were civilising a wilderness. The truth was that the occupied country already had people, laws, politics, and economies. What did 'civilisation' mean to the free settlers? And what was the relationship between civilising and violence?The Civilisation of Port Phillip tracks the violent history of the first years of British settlement in the Port Phillip District, now the state of Victoria. It illuminates the underlying free-settler rhetoric that advocated and abetted violence on the frontier. For the first time, we hear the settlers tell us in their own words what the civilisation of Port Phillip really involved.Frontier violence in Port Phillip involved Aboriginal peoples, convicts, free settlers and colonial officials. This history shows how the lives of these different people interconnected in early Port Phillip, in unlikely friendships, dire misunderstandings, and fatal clashes. It paints a vivid picture of the period drawn from archival records, a thorough re-reading of older histories, and new ideas in the scholarship of violence.As well as sheep and firearms, free settlers brought Enlightenment ideas about civilisation to Port Phillip. When these European ideas were coupled with Australian frontier experience, they manifested in an exterminatory attitude towards people deemed undesirable in the coming colony. The Civilisation of Port Phillip shows how free-settler rhetoric, law, and systems of classification reinforced and sought to justify the violence of the frontier.

Описание: After a painful childhood and adolescence that shaped the person I would become, I did not take the path most people take when they get right out of high school. Instead of going to college or getting a nine-to-five job, I decided to turn to the nightlife and become an exotic dancer. This choice gave me financial freedom but paved the way for many mistakes and tumultuous relationships. When I met Vinny, I thought I knew everything there was to know about life. He was perfect. The man of my dreams. He whisked me away from my family to another state, and after two months, he started to devalue and mistreat me. After all the lies and the pain he caused me, I decided to leave him. I thought I was free of him, but he continued to torment me. If he couldn't do it himself, he would do it through others. The lengths he would go to cause me pain had me questioning my reality because in my heart, I knew there was no way a human being would put someone through this kind of pain unless they were getting some sort of pleasure out of it. It was as if my life did not even matter. Eventually, I saw the light and the error in my ways that was attracting these people and circumstances to me. It took me to change myself completely, to free myself from years of abuse, both psychological and physical. The road to my freedom was not an easy one. I am Kash. And this is how I escaped possession.
