À propos des auteurs
Hi, I'm Auke, a passionate advocate for the Frisian language with deep roots in Frisian culture. I grew up in this vibrant heritage and have dedicated myself to preserving our unique linguistic identity. It's spoken by about 500,000 people, mostly in Friesland, Netherlands. As a key contributor to Skriuwer.com, I work with others to create books that educate and inspire, helping ensure the Frisian language, recognized as an official language alongside Dutch, stays alive for future generations. My work comes from a strong belief in language as the foundation of history and belonging. I'm proud that proceeds from these books support nonprofit efforts like De Fryske Wrâld. Join me in sustaining this ancient European tongue. Let's keep Frisian thriving.

impression à la demandeVendeur : BuchWeltWeit Ludwig Meier e.K., Bergisch Gladbach, Allemagne
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -History's polite plates hide the gnaw marks: ancient Sumerians etching liver omens on clay, their priests divvying foe-flesh like market cuts to curry god favors. Fast to the Americas, where Aztec butchers stacked skull racks taller than temples, hearts yanked hot for Huitzilopochtli's altar while the crowd bayed for the show. These weren't rogue bites-they were the era's etiquette, from Celtic wicker pyres torching tribes for harvest hails to Inuit elders slipping into pots during polar pangs, a grim grace note to life's ledger.Colonial ink smeared it darker: Spanish chroniclers peddling Carib barbecue tales to justify conquests, while Franklin's lost expedition gnawed boots and worse in Arctic ice traps. Famine's frenzy hit Europe hard-1348's plague pits overflowing till neighbors eyed neighbors like roasts, or Ireland's '48 potato rot turning cabins to charnel houses. It's a catalog of what hunger hollows out, turning taboos to tallow when the gods or the grain gods get stingy.Twentieth-century chills linger: Uruguayan rugby crash survivors drawing straws over cordillera corpses, or Dahmer's Milwaukee fridge stocked with secrets that chilled detectives to the bone. Cannibalism doesn't die easy-it's the underbelly stitch in our story, a reminder that the line between man and meal blurs fast in the dark. This book's your reluctant chew on the forbidden, facts that stick like gristle between the teeth. 196 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 9783565083220

The History of Cannibalism : Ritual, Survival, and Myth (Revised Edition)
Vendeur : AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Allemagne
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Why does nearly every culture on earth have stories about eating human flesh This book takes on one of humanity's oldest and most uncomfortable subjects, not as shock material, but as a serious look at how cannibalism has shaped empires, fueled propaganda, and haunted human history from the Stone Age to the modern era.From Aztec ritual consumption to the desperate choices made on lifeboats and in besieged cities, from witch trial confessions of infant cannibalism to colonial powers labeling entire peoples as man eaters to justify slavery, the subject is traced across cultures and centuries. Forensic evidence, diaries, court records, and anthropological research separate what actually happened from what was invented, exaggerated, or weaponized. The result is a book that treats its subject with both honesty and empathy, never reducing it to horror for its own sake.Sacred and survival cannibalism, Aztec rituals reframed as Spanish propaganda, the Donner Party diaries, and cannibalism as a colonial weapon.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Humanity's Darkest Taboo: Cannibalism Through the Ages"The History of Cannibalism" confronts one of mankind's most unsettling practices, exploring how societies across time have grappled with the line between survival and savagery. From prehistoric bone markings hinting at ritual feasts to colonial accusations weaponizing the label, this book evokes the raw fear of the forbidden and the high stakes of moral judgment, reminding us how accusations of man-eating have justified conquest, persecution, and cultural erasure while revealing uncomfortable truths about human desperation.It opens with prehistoric evidence, where cave finds and cut marks spark debates on survival versus ritual motivations. Ancient Near Eastern texts blend myths with siege starvation, as Greek and Roman writers deploy cannibal tropes for propaganda.Egyptian hymns and North African rumors blur funerary rites with outsider fears. Early European skeletal traces suggest occasional consumption amid hardship.Mesoamerican rituals demand flesh for cosmic balance, while Andean highland famine forces grim choices. Pacific island rites involve headhunting and trophy feasts, as North American evidence divides scholars on ritual versus conflict.Medieval chronicles frame siege cannibalism as divine punishment, with religious symbolism clashing against absolute taboos. Travel narratives mix fact and fiction to demonize distant peoples.Witch hunts conjure infant-eating sabbaths under torture, while fairy tales embed child-devouring monsters. Enlightenment thinkers question colonial myths, paving empirical inquiry.19th-century anthropology debates ritual prevalence, integrating cannibalism into evolutionary theories. Legacy examines how narratives shaped perceptions and justified subjugation.Comparable to Bill Schutt's "Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History," which blends science and stories with wit, this volume aligns with 2025 trends in dark anthropology books exploring human extremes for true crime fans. Its broad marketability appeals to history buffs, psychology readers, and taboo enthusiasts, promising strong sales for bookstores in anthropology sections. By weaving emotional stakes like desperation amid scarcity and judgment through fear, it connects readers to humanity's shadowed past, inspiring reflection on how ancient practices mirror modern moral dilemmas. This book uncovers cannibalism from prehistoric evidence and ancient myths to ritual practices in Mesoamerica, Pacific islands, medieval sieges, witch hunts, and colonial accusations. Like Schutt's natural history approach. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
