Putovi kulture : opća etnologija

Sa 351 slikom u tekstu i na papiru za umjetnički tisak sa 6 zemljopisnih karata. Sa 351 slikom u tekstu i na papiru za umjetnički tisak sa 6 zemljopisnih karata. Kultura je kao neko drvo iz priča, na kojemu svaka grančica ima drugačiji oblik od svojih susjeda, na kojemu svaki cvijet ima vlastitu boju i miris, svaki plod svoju vlastitu slatkoću. Svaka kultura i svaki narod imaju svoje osobine: ali sve su grančice izdanak istog debla i hrane se istim sokovima.

Hitler : The Fuhrer and the People

Professor Stern seeks to expose the roots of the Hitler myth. He performs thoroughly and brilliantly the examination that Kenneth Burke saw as a crying need on the brink of World War II. The questions Professor Stern asks are fundamental and still of the first importance in our own society. How could a predominantly sober, hardworking, and well-educated nation be persuaded to follow Hitler and his inhuman and destructuve program? What was the source of his immense popularity? Why were his public utterances so powerfully persuasive? What were the shared assumptions behind The Final Solution, Operation Barbarossa, The Night of the Long Knives? Professor Stern has done a pioneering study of the rhetoric of Nazism, a rhetoric that coupled words and action. He examines the speeches, writings, and conversations of Hitler and places them in the context of traditional beliefs of the society into which Hitler, the ideal outsider, made his way. With terrifying logic his career emerges as the creation of a man who translated the private sphere of sentiment into the public sphere of political action, the will to power into a weapon of mass hypnosis.

Who’s Who in Mythology : Classic Guide to the Ancient World

Extensive and colourful mythologies of gods, heroes, places, and natural phenomena are hallmarks of all great ancient civilizations. Lacking our rational understandings of the laws of nature, early peoples throughout the world created and relied on a vast array of myth to explain the perplexing and sometimes terrifying event with which they were confronted.Alexander Murray begins this fascinating guide to well-known mythological figures with an account of the creation of the world out of ‘a great shapeless mass’. According to classical mythology, from this chaos fashioned the first basic elements of love, earth, sea, sky, night, and day. The twelve Olympian gods, the highest order of gods, sat high above this creation and ruled the world through whim and caprice.Including many major mythical figures from classical, European, Eastern and Egyptian mythology, this comprehensive book is an invaluable illustrated reference work to the great myths that continue to intrigue readers to this day.
