 Pilgrim Days: A Lifetime of Soldiering from Vietnam to the SAS by Alastair MacKenzie English | March 5, 2019 | ISBN: 147283318X | 224 pages | PDF | 11 Mb [i]'We are the Pilgrims, master; we shall go, Always a little further; it may be, Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow.'  J. Albert Harrill, "Paul the Apostle: His Life and Legacy in Their Roman Context" English | ISBN: 0521767644, 0521757800 | 2012 | EPUB | 220 pages | 2 MB This book is a controversial new biography of the apostle Paul that argues for his inclusion in the pantheon of key figures of classical antiquity, along with the likes of Socrates, Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, and Augustus. It first provides a critical reassessment of the apostle's life in its historical context that focuses on Paul's discourse of authority, which was both representative of its Roman context and provocative to his rivals within Roman society. It then considers the legend that developed around Paul as the history of his life was elaborated and embellished by later interpreters, creating legends that characterized the apostle variously as a model citizen, an imperial hero, a sexual role model, an object of derision, and someone to quote from. It is precisely this rewriting of Paul's history into legend that makes the apostle a key transformative figure of classical antiquity.

 Mughal Occidentalism: Artistic Encounters between Europe and Asia at the Courts of India, 1580-1630 (Studies in Persian Cultural History, Book 15) by Mika Natif 2018 | ISBN: 9004371095 | English | 332 pages | PDF | 29 MB In Mughal Occidentalism, Mika Natif elucidates the meaningful and complex ways in which Mughal artists engaged with European art and techniques from the 1580s-1630s. Using visual and textual sources, this book argues that artists repurposed Christian and Renaissance visual idioms to embody themes from classical Persian literature and represent Mughal policy, ideology and dynastic history. A reevaluation of illustrated manuscripts and album paintings incorporating landscape scenery, portraiture, and European objects demonstrates that the appropriation of European elements was highly motivated by Mughal concerns. This book aims to establish a better understanding of cross-cultural exchange from the Mughal perspective by emphasizing the agency of local artists active in the workshops of Emperors Akbar and Jahangir.
