Free Download James P. Delgado, "Khubilai Khan’s Lost Fleet: In Search of a Legendary Armada"
English | 2010 | pages: 241 | ISBN: 0520265858, 0520259769 | PDF | 3,1 mb
In 1279, near what is now Hong Kong, Mongol ruler Khubilai Khan fulfilled the dream of his grandfather, Genghis Khan, by conquering China. The Grand Khan now ruled the largest empire the world has ever seen―one that stretched from the China Sea to the plains of Hungary. He also inherited the world’s largest navy―more than seven hundred ships. Yet within fifteen years, Khubilai Khan’s massive fleet was gone. What actually happened to the Mongol navy, considered for seven centuries to be little more than legend, has finally been revealed. Renowned archaeologist and historian James P. Delgado has gone diving with a Japanese team currently studying the remains of the Khan’s lost fleet. Drawing from diverse sources―sunken ships, hand-painted scrolls, drowned bodies, and historical and literary records― in this gripping account that moves deftly between the present and the past, Delgado pieces together the fascinating tale of Khubilai Khan’s maritime forays and unravels one of history’s greatest mysteries: What sank the great Mongol fleet?

Free Download Alexander Agadjanian, "Turns of Faith, Search for Meaning: Orthodox Christianity and Post-Soviet Experience "
English | ISBN: 3631639732 | 2014 | 321 pages | PDF | 4 MB
The book examines deep shifts in the religious life of Russia and the post-Soviet world as a whole. The author uses combined methods of history, sociology and anthropology to grasp transformations in various aspects of the religious field, such as changes in ritual practices, the emergence of a hierarchical pluralism of religions, and a new prominence of religion in national identity discourse. He deals with the Russian Church’s new internal diversity in reinventing its ancient tradition and Eastern Orthodoxy’s dense and tense negotiation with the State, secular society and Western liberal globalism. The volume contains academic papers, some of them co-authored with other scholars, published by the author elsewhere within the last fifteen years.

Free Download Five Fictions in Search of Truth by Myra Jehlen
English | August 31, 2008 | ISBN: 0691136122, 0691171238 | True EPUB | 192 pages | 6.8 MB
Fiction, far from being the opposite of truth, is wholly bent on finding it out, and writing novels is a way to know the real world as objectively as possible. In Five Fictions in Search of Truth, Myra Jehlen develops this idea through readings of works by Flaubert, James, and Nabokov. She invokes Proust’s famous search for lost memory as the exemplary literary process, which strives, whatever its materials, for a true knowledge. In Salammbô, Flaubert digs up Carthage; in The Ambassadors, James plumbs the examined life and touches at its limits; while in Lolita, Nabokov traces a search for truth that becomes a trespass.

Author: Cristina Rivera Garza
Narrator: Victoria Villarreal
A haunting, unforgettable memoir about a beloved younger sister and the painful memory of her murder, from "one of Mexico’s greatest living writers". I seek justice, I finally said. I seek justice for my sister. . . . Sometimes it takes twenty-nine years to say it out loud, to say it out loud on a phone call with a lawyer at the General Attorney’s office: I seek justice. September 2019. Cristina Rivera Garza travels from her home in Texas to Mexico City, in search of an old, unresolved criminal file. "My name is Cristina Rivera Garza," she wrote in her request to the attorney general, "and I am writing to you as a relative of Liliana Rivera Garza, who was murdered on July 16, 1990." It’s been twenty-nine years. Twenty-nine years, three months, and two days since Liliana was murdered by an abusive ex-boyfriend-and Cristina knows there is only a slim chance of recovering the file. And yet, inspired by feminist movements across the world and enraged by the global epidemic of femicide and intimate partner violence, she embarks on a path toward justice.
