Gods and Fighting Men: The Story of the Tuatha De Danaan and of the Fianna of Ireland (Forgotten Books)

Lady Augusta Gregory

Forgotten Books, 2007

This is THE actual Book of Irish Mythology
Gods and Fighting Men is an excellent resource because it preserves the lore from the Book of Invasions as well as other sources -- the legends of the earliest inhabitants of Ireland, the coming of the Tuatha De Danaan (The People of Dana) and the stories of Finn MacCumhail. What is portrayed as "Early Irish Mythology" 99% of the time actually isn't -- the dozens of translations of The Tain, ...

Forgotten Books, 2007

Lively Reading
The search for authentic experiences is regarded as an important theme in postmodernism. John Millington Synge's book demonstrates that this quest for authenticity has been an important part of cultural inquiry for a long time. This wonderful book was written almost one hundred years ago, but it reads like a contemporary ethnographic inquiry. He provides vivid descriptions of daily life and ...

Albert Pike

Forgotten Books, 2008

There's a mystery here
I first looked Albert Pike up on the Internet, because my friend, Andrew, told me that as the founder of the Ku Klux Klan, he was the most evil American. Many sources claim that Pike espoused slavery in 1857 while practicing law in Arkansas. And it's easy to find references to him all over the Internet saying that he worshipped Lucifer and had demonic intentions of bringing the world under the ...

Maulana Muhammad Ali

Forgotten Books, 2008

A review for students of Arabic
This is a superb resource for students of classical Arabic. Arabic and English texts are set side by side on the same page, only the essence of each hadith is presented (eliminating long isnads and variations of the hadith), and the Arabic texts are fully voweled. This is the ideal work for an intermediate level between textbook readers and slogging through real old Arabic texts. The editor's ...

Manly P. Hall

Forgotten Books, 2008

A Indispensible Volume for Anyone
This is amazingly insightful book, well worth the money and the time that you'll put into it. The facts are great, the images, symbolism, explanations are all great and are made simple to understand. The only reason I rated this a 4 rather than a 5 is because of the Author. Obviously Manly P Hall was fairly brilliant, but some of his assumptions and oppinions are questionable. Read for the facts ...

The essence
The principles described in this book give a very powerfull insight into the "Living Mind". For me, this two words are the very essence of the concept of Time-Space and consciousness.

Samuel Noah Kramer

Forgotten Books, 2007

Out of date but still worth reading
Any piece of scholarship that has a preface that baldly states that quite a bit of the following translations are wrong immediately throws out warning signals. However, this is quite a useful handbook, even if the author pointedly tells the reader that "History begins at Sumer" is more accurate. It has that touch that encompasses all ancient historical secondary sources written in the early part ...
