    Often appearing as ?gveda, the oldest of the four sacred books linked to Hinduism, it was composed in an ancient form of Sanskrit about 1500 BCE. The Rig Veda (Sanskrit: The Knowledge of Verses) was preserved in secrecy by ancient clans, initially orally, before it was written down about 300 BCE. These 1028 poems, grouped as 10 ‘Circles' (mandalas), have variously been called hymns, poems or songs by Sanskrit scholars. The Rik (so pronounced by the ancient Angirases clans, or Seer-Priest families) was an experiment with sound. The emphasis is always on sounding the words perfectly. The focus tends to be on the ideas rather than on the authors in Vedic literature, they are largely...read more

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media. Narrated by Matthew Schmitz. The Pyramid Texts are the oldest ancient Egyptian funerary texts, dating to the late Old Kingdom. They are the earliest known corpus of ancient Egyptian religious texts. Written in Old Egyptian, the pyramid texts were carved onto the subterranean walls and sarcophagi of pyramids at Saqqara from the end of the Fifth Dynasty, and throughout the Sixth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, and into the Eighth Dynasty of the First Intermediate Period. The oldest of the texts have been dated to c. 2400–2300 BC. Unlike the later Coffin Texts and Book of the Dead, the Pyramid Texts were reserved only for the pharaoh and were not...read more

    Yes, you can make money self-publishing books. What do you think I'm doing now by putting this book out there? However, it's not easy. In fact, it's super stressful, heart-breaking, frustrating, and sometimes bordering insanity. The fake reviews, the high volume, the corrupted companies that own monopolic market shares... it all adds up. And then, if you expect to get paid and they suddenly decided to 'investigate your account' and steal all your royalties, you need some kind of therapy. That therapy is writing it all down in a book. May Azoo's sins be exposed to the infernal depths of hell. May they rot in their filth and the income they have stolen from thousands and thousands...read more

    Publishing has become an opportunity for many authors, stay-at-home dads, hard workers, narrators, cover designers, writers (different than authors I presume), and the like. However, evil giant companies (one in particular) are sucking the life out of customers and the creativity out of authors to feed their greed and crush competitors in unethical ways. All stories and quotes are based on true accounts from victims and experienced entrepreneurs. You will read, among others (here comes the list you can actually find on the content page): - How one of the richest companies pays less taxes than you do, even though they make billions in profit. - Why monopolies are hurting both customers...read more

    In this, the final volume in Dharma Audiobooks' compilation of the Principal Texts of the Khuddaka Nikaya, the major work, and in some ways the most unusual, is Milinda's Questions. For while the other two, the Buddhava?sa and the Cariyapitaka, may date from the early years of Buddhism, there is no doubt that Milinda's Questions comes from a later period. Modern scholars place it between 100 BCE and 200 CE – with sections being added as the years passed. And even though only the Burmese tradition places it within the Khuddaka Nikaya collection, it is a uniquely fascinating, challenging and even entertaining document. The Milinda Pañha (its formal Pali name) brings together Milinda, a...read more

    This is Volume 2 of Dharma Audiobooks' ground-breaking overview of Principal Texts of the Khuddaka Nikaya, the fifth section of the Sutta Pitaka in the Theravada Pali Canon. Far less known than the first four (Digha Nikaya, Majjhima Nikaya, Sa?yutta Nikaya, A?guttara Nikaya) perhaps because of its character as an anthology rather than a self-contained work, it nevertheless contains gems which are only too easily overlooked or even underappreciated! As with Volume 1, Volume 2 follows the traditional ordering of the individual works in the Khuddaka Nikaya, which makes for a curious, but invigorating collection. The first two texts, Therigatha and Theragatha, present the traditional histories...read more

    The Khuddaka Nikaya is different in character from the other four Nikayas of the Sutta Pitaka in the Theravada Pali Canon in that rather than being a single work it is, as its customary translation ‘Minor Anthologies' suggests, a collection of independent works. A true anthology! It contains some of the most important and well-known works in the Pali Canon, including the Dhammapada, the Udana, the Sutta Nipata and the Jataka Tales; and, in some recensions, Milinda's Questions. There are also other works less-known to many Buddhists and students of Buddhism, such as the Vimanavatthu, the Therigatha and the Theragatha. These offer a wider perspective on the Dhamma as it has been lived...read more

    The best politcal novel of the year by a landslide, Primary Colors is the riveting story of a governor-from-a-small-state's quest for the presidency, and a jaded Beltway insider's search for a leader to believe in. Spending nearly a year on the New York Times best-seller list, this blockbuster novel has sold well over one million copies. Primary Colors offers a richly detailed look at life on the political stump. As former congressional aide Henry Burton is dazzled and lured into presidential hopeful Jack Stanton's fledgling campaign, he becomes a cog in Stanton's unstoppable political machine. Burton illuminates-through his actions and observations-the sometimes seamy, sometimes steamy and...read more

    Primary Colors has its rich rewards as a savvy insider’s look at life on the stump. But it travels far beyond mere gossip and exposé to discover a convincing world of its own, peopled by smart cookies, nutcases, and wheeler-dealers, whose public and private lives illuminate each other—sometimes by casting dark shadows. This story spans the novelistic spectrum from bedroom farce to high moral drama, and it paints a picture of the political state of the nation so vivid and authentic that one finds in it the deepest kind of truth—the kind of truth that only fiction can...read more

    La Première, la deuxième et la troisième épîtres de Jean sont des livres du Nouveau Testament. Le texte de la première a été composé après l'évangile selon Jean dont il présuppose l'existence et la lecture. Celui-ci la fin du Ier siècle ce qui porte les chercheurs à proposer une datation incluse entre 100 et 110. L'auteur de cette épître et de la suivante ne donne pas son nom mais se nomme l'' Ancien ' qui est à considérer comme une figure importante de l'école johannique et dont l'assimilation parfois propose à Jean le Presbytre relève de la conjecture. La lettre provient d'Asie Mineure, peut-être d'Éphèse, où elle a été rédigée vers...read more

    La première épître aux Thessaloniciens est un livre du Nouveau Testament. L'épître est envoyée par l'apôtre Paul, depuis la ville de Corinthe, à l'Église de Thessalonique, au cours de sa première visite en Europe. Selon toute vraisemblance, elle a été écrite en 50-51. De ce fait, il s'agit du plus ancien écrit du Nouveau Testament. Son œuvre en Thessalonique est décrite dans Actes 17. Il voulait y retourner mais ne put le faire (1 Th 2:18). Il envoya donc Timothée réconforter les convertis et leur dire comment il allait. Il écrivit la première épître pour exprimer sa gratitude lors du retour de...read more

    Popol Vuh es una recopilación de narraciones mítico-históricos del reino del Posclásico K'iche 'del altiplano occidental de Guatemala. El título se traduce como 'Libro de la Comunidad', 'Libro del Consejo', o más literalmente como 'Libro del Pueblo'.

El mito comienza con las hazañas de los antepasados ??antropomorfas y concluye con una genealogía de reinado, tal vez como una afirmación de la regla de derecho divino.
