Эта аудиокнига о том, что делает нас русскими, а американцев — американцами. Чем мы отличаемся друг от друга в восприятии мира и себя? Как думаем и как реагируем на происходящее? И что сделало нас такими, какие мы есть? Известный журналист-международник Михаил Таратута провел в США 12 лет. Его программа «Америка с Михаилом Таратутой» во многом открывала нам эту страну. В книге автор показывает, как несходство исторических путей и культурных кодов русских и американцев определяет различия в быту, карьере, подходах к бизнесу и политике.

Blood for the Gods explores one of the darkest and most uncomfortable patterns in human history. Across continents and centuries, societies repeatedly killed in the name of belief, order, and necessity.

Before temples and official rituals, there were places people avoided after sunset. In the hills of ancient Anatolia, long before Rome ruled the Mediterranean, villagers gathered around stones they believed were alive. They were not there to recite prayers. They came because something unsettled them, and gathering together made it bearable. Drums carried across the valleys. Some people swayed, some watched, some stayed at the edge. A presence was felt before anyone gave it a name. Later it would be called Cybele. This book follows the Great Mother through the lives of ordinary people.
