Two weeks after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, Jon Lee Anderson gained access to Afghanistan from where he filed some of the most outstanding accounts of the fall of the Taliban. This book brings these graphic pieces together in one remarkable volume. The Lion's Grave includes a previously unpublished account of the search for Osama bin Laden in the caves of Tora Bora and reveals the inside story of the assassination of the charismatic opposition leader Ahmed Shah Massoud. John Lee Anderson has woven together gritty up-to-the-minute observations, probing interviews and powerful storytelling to create a compelling portrait of high-technology warfare in a feudal terrain. Supplemented by vivid and hitherto unseen commentary, The Lion's Grave establishes itself immediately as a classic of war journalism.

This book offers the first in-depth study of Attic funerary monuments during the geometric, archaic, and classical period. The analysis of forms, images and inscriptions shows, from an anthropological perspective, the Athenian attitude towards death in its fundamental difference to Christian occidental views. The book, which was originally published in German, is revised.

The object of this book, first published in 1928, is a study of the ways in which those who were once called ‘primitives’ conceive of their own individuality. The author inquires into the notions they possess of their life-principle, their soul, and their personality, often encountering that many peoples only had ‘pre-notions’ of such concepts.
