The Code of Hammurabi Hammurabi http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4239 en -1790 Non-Fiction History Politics The Code of Hammurabi (Codex Hammurabi) is a well-preserved ancient law code, created ca. 1790 BC (middle chronology) in ancient Babylon. It was enacted by the sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi. One nearly complete example of the Code survives today, inscribed on a seven foot, four inch tall basalt stele in the Akkadian language in the cuneiform script. One of the first written codes of law in recorded history. These laws were written on a stone tablet standing over eight feet tall (2.4 meters) that was found in 1901. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4239.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4239.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4239.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4239.mobi The Epistle to Can Grande Dante Alighieri http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4237 en 1319 Non-Fiction Dante's letter to Lord Can Grande della Scala, concerning the Divine Comedy in general, the Paradiso in particular, and the method to be used for interpretation. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4237.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4237.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4237.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4237.mobi The Beatitudes Thomas Watson http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4234 en 1660 Essay Religion A classic English Puritan exposition of Matthew 5:1-12. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4234.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4234.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4234.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4234.mobi Planet of Dreams James McKimmey http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4233 en 1953 Short Fiction Science Fiction The climate was perfect, the sky was always blue, and—best of all—nobody had to work.

Each section simultaneously clarifies and obfuscates what the reader knows about the murder, eventually creating a complex and contradictory vision of events that brings into question humanity's ability or willingness to perceive and transmit objective truth. It is the basis for Kurosawa's "Rashoumon."
