For all the near-fanatic attention brought each year to the Academy Awards, the organization that dispenses those awards—the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—has yet to be understood. To date, no one has ever produced a thorough account of the Academy’s birth and its awkward adolescence, and the few reports on those periods from outside have always had a glancing, cursory quality. Yet the story of the Academy’s creation and development is a critical piece of Hollywood’s history. Now that story is finally being told.

De Griekse historicus Herodotus (circa 480-430 v.Chr.) heeft veel eretitels gekregen. In de oudheid stond hij al bekend als ‘vader der geschiedenis’ en tegenwoordig noemt men hem eerder ‘vader der journalistiek’ en ‘eerste wereldreiziger’. Zijn indrukwekkende boek Historiën is grensverleggend en letterlijk grensoverschrijdend geweest. In deze hoorcolleges bespreekt classicus en Byzantinoloog Hein van Dolen de methode van Herodotus, zijn bronnen en zijn eigen onderzoekingen, waarbij Herodotus de gewoonten en eigenaardigheden van vreemde volkeren beschreef.

Auguste Dupin wordt hij ook beschouwd als de uitvinder van de detectiveroman. Zijn werk is een voorafschaduwing van de genres horror, sciencefiction en fantasy.
