Zoroaster

Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra, was an ancient Persian prophet and the founder of Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions. He lived approximately between 1000-600 BCE and died around 583 BCE. Born into a noble family in Persia, he received divine revelations at age twenty, proclaiming Ahura Mazda as the supreme deity of light and truth. His teachings centered on the cosmic struggle between good and evil, emphasizing that individuals must choose righteousness through good thoughts, words, and deeds. Though initially met with resistance, his faith eventually became the state religion of the Persian Empire, profoundly influencing later Abrahamic faiths. more

“As the tide of feminism that crested two decades ago recedes and the old advance-and-retreat games of courtship return, "Pride & Prejudice" speaks wistfully to the moment. Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy are tantalizing early prototypes for a Katharine Hepburn-Spencer Tracy ideal of lovers as brainy, passionate sparring partners. That the world teems with fantasies of Mr. Darcy and his ilk there is no doubt. How many of his type are to be found outside the pages of a novel, however, is another matter.”

“One of the less vaunted joys of Austen is that she is one of the greatest writers in the English language who also happened to write witty romance novels. Women enjoy the love stories in Austen the same way men read Hemingway for the hunting and fishing: it provides guiltless pleasure.”
