Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

3 out of 5 stars Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

5 out of 5 stars Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

5 out of 5 stars Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

4 out of 5 stars History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

When it was published in 1932, this then-shocking and revolutionary first fiction redefined the art of the novel with its black humor, its nihilism, and its irreverent, explosive writing style, and made Louis-Ferdinand Celine one of France's--and literature's--most important 20th-Century writers. The picaresque adventures of Bardamu, the sarcastic and brilliant antihero of Journey to the End of the Night move from the battlefields of World War I (complete with buffoonish officers and cowardly soldiers), to French West Africa, the United States, and back to France in a style of prose that's lyrical, hallucinatory, and hilariously scathing toward nearly everybody and everything. Yet, beneath it all one can detect a gentle core of idealism.

Book Description

The dark side of On the Road: instead of seeking kicks, the French narrator travels the globe to find an ever deeper disgust for life.

Louis-Ferdinand Céline's revulsion and anger at what he considered the idiocy and hypocrisy of society explodes from nearly every page of this novel. Filled with slang and obscenities and written in raw, colloquial language, Journey to the End of the Night is a literary symphony of violence, cruelty and obscene nihilism. This book shocked most critics when it was first published in France in 1932, but quickly became a success with the reading public in Europe, and later in America where it was first published by New Directions in 1952. The story of the improbable yet convincingly described travels of the petit-bourgeois (and largely autobiographical) antihero, Bardamu, from the trenches of World War I, to the African jungle, to New York and Detroit, and finally to life as a failed doctor in Paris, takes the readers by the scruff and hurtles them toward the novel's inevitable, sad conclusion.

5 out of 5 stars The Finest Book About Humanity Ever Written.......2007-08-19

The book in question is a triumph in every sense of the word. If you aren't taken in from the first couple of pages then do yourself a favor and kill yourself immediately. What Celine is able to do here is not only to paint a portrait of a character, or of a type, but in the end the whole of humanity. Much of the humanity in question is not pleasant, nor are the situations they force the poor, but resourceful and essentially strong, protaganist into. If you've ever found yourself in a foreign country with little idea of what is expected from you, then you can relate. If you have had family members or girlfriends encourage you to go die in a useless foreign war, then you can relate. If moments of tenderness wash over you and then crash against the shores of existential absurdity, then you can relate. If have not only a heart, but an eye, and a head to perceive the world by then you can relate to this great work of art. Celine is called cynical, but his cynicism is the kind of a failed romantic, not of a mysanthrope. If you can see past the bitter veneer what you'll find is a person who always expects alittle more from his fellow human beings than he usually gets, and despite his protests he usually gives despite himself. This might be a bit harsh- but I don't think so- if you read this book and don't get it, don't see the humor and absurdity, or the love that runs beneath it, than you are a worthless mass of flesh and bone and should find a way to save the rest of the world from your continued prescence. This book is a litmus test of humanity.

5 out of 5 stars You will be quoting this book for a while!.......2007-06-08

I can't think of a more original , funny and yet saracastic book than this one. Just when you think that the author had exhausted his brilliant use of words to describe an aspect of human nature and French society, he comes up with something new within the next paragraph or page. This book is tilted towards describing more of the negative aspects of everything but there are enough positive books out there for any one to read. For something with passages that will literally make you laugh out loud and get you to rethink the extent of free creative writing during the early 20th century , read this book at once! If you're easily offended or constantly critiquing a work of art as you read it, then this one is not for you.

This review refer to Spanish version - " Viaje al Fin de la Noche" / Maestros del Siglo XX- Editorial Oveja Negra

I read this book in my early twenties, along a long list of nihilist, existentialist... the unavoidable Henry Miller.. I was captivated by the expressionisms of his own inner feeling as he travels here and there observing an absurd humanity.

I'm just picking up the book and looking at the notes I made so long ago, not so clear...

Definitely the book to read in the twenties, the book to review in your forties and I predict the book to quietly glimpse and flavor in your sixties.

Human spirit is contradictory, the pen that accomplished this fine work was an anti-Semitic and pro-occupations of the Nazis.. as one preface of the book says, he avoided the death sentence by a miraculously act.. Being I an absolute anti-Nazi .. I can only judge the literary creation and not its creator

My notes take me so far away.. I guess the notions of love and the uneasy feeling of trying to observe stoically the stupidly of nature, came in part from here... in those days my feelings of anti-Europeanism were forming from the study of its militaristic history and by the conviction that the last wars of humanity were going to start there.. all of that changed, of course, but the notion of how absurd the I WW was, came from the insight (I am not a translator so please forgive any fatal errors)

".. No matter how hard I tried to look into my memory, I cannot recall of any harm I had done to the Germans. I always was nice and educated toward them. I knew the Germans a little, I even assisted to a schooling Germany when I was a younger in the surroundings of Hanover. I had spoken their language. Back then they were a noisy screaming mass of howling punks. After school we went to the surrounding woods to fondle the girls, we also shot with pistols and arches that we bought for four marks. We drank beer with sugar. But form that to be here killing each others without further explanations, here in the middle of the road, there seemed to be emptiness even an abyss. Just too much of a difference"

5 out of 5 stars Journey to the End of the Night.......2006-10-31

Louis-Ferdinand Céline delivers as a contemporary of both Ernest Hemingway and Albert Camus.

This novel written in the wake of World War I delves into the existential thought popular for the day. As a man who has experienced war, a voyage to Africa, a brief stay in America, and finally becomes a Doctor in a suburb of Paris, Louis travels the gamut of his own soul.

In his trek to the end of the night, he entertains the reader with his sarcasm, and insight into human nature. He sees the pig in all people.

However, I found myself lost in translation at times. Louis can become quite abstract in his thoughts. Ramblings change the scenery quickly. Suddenly you find yourself in New York city, when only pages ago you were reading about fevers in Africa. Don't get lost in the details . . . continue to forge ahead!

And in the end it wraps up like a Hemingway story with all the trappings of Camus. What does this all mean?

I first read this book during my freshman year in college. That was in 1990 - I have read it at least once a year since. I am a voracious reader, ingesting well over a hundred books each year and have not yet found another book that resonates with so much energy, grit, and beauty.

      Book Description

      This textbook series is ambitious in scope. It provides concise and lucid introductions to major works of world literature from classical antiquity to the twentieth century. It is not confined to any single literary tradition or genre, and will cumulatively form a substantial library of textbooks on some of the most important and widely read literary masterpieces. Each book is devoted to a single work and provides a close reading of that text, as well as a full account of its historical, cultural, and intellectual background, a discussion of its influence, and a guide to further reading. The contributors to the series give full consideration to the linguistic issues raised by each text, and, within the overall framework of the series, are given complete freedom in the choice of their critical method. Where the text is written in a language other than English, full account is taken of readers studying the text in English translation. While critical jargon is avoided, important technical terminology is fully explained and thus this series will be genuinely accessible to students at all levels and to general readers.

                A delightful Regency–era tale of an earl who always gets his way and the woman who is determined to resist his charms...by an exciting debut author!

                The Earl of Sinclair is fit to be tied! His servants have been pairing up and eloping, leaving the rest of his household staff referring to him as the matchmaking earl. His newest hire is his secretary Quincy.

                It isn't long before his insolent employee wraps the household staff around his finger, which Sinclair is willing to overlook, especially when he realises that the backside he finds himself constantly staring at is not that of a boy, but of a full–grown woman! Quincy never actually lied; she simply never said she wasn't a he.

                Desperate for employment, she dressed as any secretary would and let her employer make his own assumptions. Now if only she can keep her mind on her work instead of Sinclair's devilish charm, she just may stop herself from falling in love with him.

                4 out of 5 stars Debut novel - a great start ! .......2007-04-17

                'What an Earl Wants' by Shirley Karr debut novel which is a historical romance based around England in 1816. J. Quincy applies for a job with the Earl of Sinclair as a secretary. J. Quincy is actually a female dressed as man. This is standard premises but the twist and friendship and then love has heart and you end up really caring about the character. If you enjoy this novel I would check out Kiss From A Rogue (Sinclair's younger brother Tony story) and Confessions of A Viscount (story of Alistair, the charming astronomer you met as one of Tony's friends in Kiss From A Rogue).

                2 out of 5 stars Don't Bother.......2006-08-02

                If your looking for laughs, maybe a few tears, sexual tension and all the other aspects that make a great love story this is not the book for you. I can sum this book up in one word - Boring! The book was about a woman disguising herself as a man in order to help her family. And a hero who ends up falling for her. End of story. The book was filled with nonense. Page after page was filled with them in the library going over paperwork in silence. I don't know whats worse that or the hero falling all the time because of his bad leg - I mean how many times does he have to lose his dignity in one book. The book had parts that I felt were thrown in there out of sheer desperation from the author. And when the heroine does put on a dress the hero does'nt recognize her but turns out to be beautiful. What! She cut her hair like a boy and she puts a dress on and now she beautiful. And then there is the end (don't worry I wont say anything) not that there is anything to say but when there all sitting down on the floor of the ballroom, I would have hoped that the author could have come up with something better but she failed once again. Save your money and don't bother.

                3 out of 5 stars Interesting but not a keeper for me .......2006-07-03



                I liked this book a lot but not a keeper for me. There seemed to be something missing but I am not sure what that was. I enjoyed the premise of this book - woman masquerading as a young man, though it is not one I normally pick up. It is not all that original either but the sparring between Quincy and Sinclair is funny and different. It just seemed like everyone KNEW Quincy was a woman almost from the beginning. And there was not much romance between them. Tension maybe, romance - no. Even the villain (Serena) seemed so mild. Ok, she tripped him in the end???

                I did like the ending even if most reviewers didn't. That was probably the most romantic part of the book. Quincy dropping to the floor where Sinclair sat!!! I liked that Sinclair did not become hale and hearty (nor whole) again. I loved all the servants and all the matchmaking - and how generous Sinclair was with people. I didn't think that angle was explored as much as it could have been. There were other romances in this book, but very low key.

                This was a pleasant read and I look forward to reading more from this author.

                5 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book.......2005-12-31

                From the beginning to the end, the handsome earl, recovering from a war injury, and the spunky heroine, who starts out pretending to be a man, have a lively, funny, and very interesting relationship. The characters are very likable, the book well written, the conflicts very good and, until the very last page, you don't know if the two of them will get together or not (well, you know it's a romance, but the story keeps you hanging!). I've read it several times. It's dog eared and in my "Keeper" file. A great start for a debut author. I'll be buying her next book as soon as it comes out. Highly recommend.

                5 out of 5 stars Delightful romantic comedy!.......2005-09-16

                If you enjoy romantic comedies. You will LOVE this book. What an Earl Wants is a feel good book. That is simply delightful. If you long to be swept into the lives of two enchanting people, I highly recommend What an Earl Wants. While browsing in the bookstore, I decided to give it a chance. If you don't want to miss out, you should too. This book had everything you need to create a good romance: a dashing hero, a beautiful heroine, a person who always seems to interfere with the hero and heroine, and, most of all...PASSION! The book does not rely heavily on the sensual scenes. The story is so good that these scenes just add spice to an already great book. The relationship between the leads is endearing. The secondary characters are enjoyable as well. The reader will feel the despair, the heartbreak, passion and the joy of Ben and Jo Quincy in this very excellent character driven romance. I found the characters to be multi-dimensional.Both characters felt "real" and made me believe they were in love with one another deeply. I'm looking forward to reading more books from Shirley Karr.

                I must say this through Earl of Sinclair (Ben) is really a gentleman not a rogue. I love how he falls in love with Jo and then romances the heck out of her. Unlike most romance novels, the "hero's" Ben is not perfect, he's not a rake, nor is he nasty, mean, or an arrogant idiot! ... I will let you discover just what kind of man Ben is BUT he's truly lovely to read about.

                5 out of 5 stars I can't believe I'm the first person to review this book.......2005-12-21

                I own 3 other books on resume-writing that got good reviews on Amazon.com, but they never got me an interview. "Amazing Resumes", however, made resume-writing really simple, and even enjoyable. The authors, Bright & Earl, don't assume you have 30 years of experience or a college degree, even if you do. It's designed for anybody to use, even a 16-year old looking for his or her first part-time after-school job. They help you play up what you have under your belt, and tailor each resume to each job you're applying for. It's an awesome book. And there's not a lot to read, either. The authors get straight to the point. I got 3 interviews just last week by using this book as my guide. I hope this review puts "Amazing Resumes" on Amazon's radar.

                        What's a lord to do? The devilishly attractive Earl of Sinclair is having trouble holding onto servants, what with so many of them pairing up and running off to be wed. Luckily, his able new secretary, J. Quincy, seems scrupulously loyal, and possesses the invaluable ability to flawlessly forge the master's signature. But imagine Sinclair's surprise when he discovers the "J" stands for "Josephine." His cherished employee is, in actuality, a quite delectable lady in disguise! Jo desperately needs this position, and never actually lied about her gender -- though she didn't expect Sinclair's keen eye to expose the truth so quickly. If the ton finds out, the scandal could be devastating. But Jo believes she can still be of service to the dashing greatest difficulty, however, will be keeping her mind on business with Sinclair standing so tantalizingly, intoxicatingly close. And what this earl wants, he usually gets!
