- The great transformation : the beginning of our religious traditions / by Armstrong, Karen,1944-(CARDINAL)519342;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The Axial peoples (c. 1600 to 900 BCE) -- Ritual (c. 900 to 800 BCE) -- Kenosis (c. 800 to 700 BCE) -- Knowledge (c. 700 to 600 BCE) -- Suffering (c. 600 to 530 BCE) -- Empathy (c. 530 to 450 BCE) -- Concern for everybody (c. 450 to 398 BCE) -- All is one (c. 400 to 300 BCE) -- Empire (c. 300 to 220 BCE) -- The way forward.In the ninth century BCE, the peoples of four distinct regions of the civilized world created the religious and philosophical traditions that have continued to nourish humanity to the present day: Confucianism and Daoism in China, Hinduism and Buddhism in India, monotheism in Israel, and philosophical rationalism in Greece. Later generations further developed these initial insights, but we have never grown beyond them. Now, Karen Armstrong reveals how the sages of this pivotal "Axial Age" can speak clearly and helpfully to the violence and desperation that we experience in our own times. The Axial Age faiths began in recoil from the unprecedented violence of their time. There was a remarkable consensus in their call for an abandonment of selfishness and a spirituality of compassion. The traditions of the Axial Age were not about dogma--all insisted on the primacy of compassion even in the midst of suffering.--From publisher description.- Subjects: History, Ancient.; Philosophy, Ancient.; Religion; Évolution sociale.; Civilisation ancienne.; Religion et civilisation.; Religion;

- Soleil sombre : roman / by Schmitt, Éric-Emmanuel,Author(DLC)n 93057674 ;
"Poursuivant sa traversée de l'histoire humaine, Noam s'éveille d'un long sommeil sur les rives du Nil, en 1650 av. J.-C. et se lance à la découverte de Memphis, capitale des deux royaumes d'Égypte. Les temps ont bien changé. Des maisons de plaisir à la Maison des morts, des quartiers hébreux au palais de Pharaon se dévoile à lui une civilisation inouïe qui se transmet sur des rouleaux de papyrus, qui vénère le Nil, fleuve nourricier, momifie les morts, invente l'au-delà, érige des temples et des pyramides pour accéder à l'éternité. Mais Noam, le coeur plein de rage, a une unique idée en tête : en découdre avec son ennemi pour connaître enfin l'immortalité heureuse auprès de Noura, son aimée. Avec le troisième tome du cycle de La Traversée des Temps, Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt nous embarque en Égypte ancienne, une civilisation qui prospéra pendant plus de trois mille ans. Fertile en surprises, Soleil sombre restitue ce monde en pleine effervescence dont notre modernité a conservé des traces, mais qui reste dans l'Histoire des hommes une parenthèse aussi sublime qu'énigmatique."--.Continuing his journey through human history, Noam awakens from a long slumber on the banks of the Nile, in 1650 B.C. and embarks on the discovery of Memphis, capital of the two kingdoms of Egypt. Times have changed. From the houses of pleasure to the House of the Dead, from the Hebrew quarters to the palace of Pharaoh, an incredible civilization is revealed to him which is transmitted on rolls of papyrus, which venerates the Nile, the nourishing river, mummifies the dead, invents the beyond, erects temples and pyramids to gain access to eternity. But Noam, his heart full of rage, has a single idea in mind: to do battle with his enemy to finally experience happy immortality with Noura, his beloved. With the third volume of the series La Traversée des Temps, Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt takes us to ancient Egypt, a civilization that flourished for more than three thousand years. Fertile in surprises, Dark Sun restores this world in full effervescence of which our modernity has preserved traces, but which remains in the History of men a parenthesis as sublime as it is enigmatic.--- Subjects: Romans.; Historical fiction.; Noam (Personnage fictif : Schmitt); Immortalité; Roman historique.;
