Story84
In 1975, at the height of Indira Gandhi’s “Emergency”, V. S. Naipaul returned to India, the country his ancestors had left 100 years earlier. Out of that journey he produced this concise masterpiece: a vibrant, defiantly unsentimental portrait of a society traumatized by centuries of foreign conquest and immured in a mythic vision of its past.

Unappetising, but food for thought, just the same.

Though perhaps less well-known today than the great empires that surrounded them, the historic peoples of Central Asia—such as the Scythians, the Sogdians, the Xiongnu nomads of Mongolia, the Turkic peoples, and many others—produced cultures of major significance. In the 24 lectures of Crossroads of Civilization: A History of Central Asia, taught by Professor Eren Tasar, you will embark on a wide-ranging journey into the majestic landscapes, steppe and desert cultures, resplendent cities, and epic conquests that characterized this mysterious part of the world.

On March 8, 1421, the largest fleet the world had ever seen set sail from China. Its mission was "to proceed all the way to the ends of the earth to collect tribute from the barbarians beyond the seas" and unite the whole world in Confucian harmony. When it returned in October 1423, the emperor...

Story0
A Índia é tudo aquilo que um turista vê. Mas também o seu oposto. Os contrastes estão a cada esquina. O país é espiritual e material; pacífico e violento; rico e pobre; antigo e moderno. A jornalista Florência Costa—que tem laços de família com a Índia, onde viveu por muitos anos—nos leva à cozinha indiana, com seus múltiplos temperos; às festas monumentais de casamentos arranjados; à espiritualidade e às religiões e até aos banheiros (raros).

Story0
Os chineses nos intrigam. O regime é comunista, mas a economia é capitalista. Eles ficaram enclausurados durante os quase trinta anos de governo de Mao Tsé-Tung e agora viajam pelo mundo todo e são os maiores usuários de internet do planeta. Quem são, afinal, esses 1,3 bilhão de chineses? Por que a relação do país com o Ocidente—e com os vizinhos—mudou tanto ao longo do tempo? Como esse país milenar, responsável por invenções importantíssimas para a humanidade como o papel e a bússola, pode ser acusado de copiar tecnologias estrangeiras?
