Writing History is a magazine dedicated to history, archaeology and literature. These three subjects are closely related. Archaeology is about searching for historic remains and studying of them. Literature is the study of the written word and through those two subjects; we build a foundation for the studying of history. Jazz music is also a giant part of the history. When United States where building up their country they had a lot of slaves from Africa. Jazz have roots from the African-American slaves.

Leo Tolstoy Leo Tolstoy is one of the big names in literature and is by many considered the greatest novelist of them all. He wrote several novels, including Anna Karenina, and War and Peace, two among some of the world´s most famous and successful novels: He wrote the novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich as well, which is usually said to be one of the finest novella´s. The British poet Matthew Arnold once said that a novel by Tolstoy isn't a work of art, but a piece of life. Tolstoy is known for having a close eye for details; he would write about the slightest change of consciousness or movement of the body and break things down into single moments. His characters are well-rounded and human, changing over time, in a way that would be natural for a human being to change as it grew older. It is possibly because of these qualities that his novels have remained as widely read and successful as they have, and why many believe Tolstoy to be the best novelist yet.
Literature
Leo Tolstoy
The reason I love literature is it´s diversity, it´s distraction, endless possibilities, and it´s educational value. We can entertain ourselves by reading. We can learn a lot from written works about different subjects and whether it is a novel or a book on a certain discipline, then there is no limit for what can be written.
Leo Tolstoy The term literature is defined as
Literary terms:
written work, whether it is a pamphlet (promotional literature), writings published on a particular subject, poetry or a work of fiction. Some definitions even include spoken or sung texts. The word comes from the Latin “literatura/litteratura“ which means “writing formed with letters”. There are several different careers to be found within the field literature. There are writers (whether it are novelist, poets, play writers, or writers of educational books), teachers, critics, analysts, scholars, publishers and translators. Works of literature can be categorized by different means, such as their place of origin, the time period it was written in, the author, it´s material and the genre it belongs to. My favorite type of literature are the fantasy novels. They are novels where supernatural or fantastic themes are one of the main elements. Some famous fantasy novels include George R.R. Martin´s A Song of Ice and Fire series, J.R.R. Tolkien´s Lord of the Rings trilogy and Rick Riordan´s Percy Jackson series. What I love about them is how imaginative they can be. They take you away into another world, like any good novel should, and they aren´t limited by the laws of reality, while still (at least in the cases of the best) dealing with human nature and emotions.
William Shakespeare
character from Hamlet. Shakespeare manages to capture the wide range and the complexity of the human emotions. This make his work relevant all around the world, even today. Another reason is how descriptive his dialogues are. They paint pictures, create atmospheres and capture the human nature. Yet another reason for Shakespeare´s fame is the influence his work had on the spoken language. He coined over a hundred phrases and popularized other per-existing ones. For example “my kingdom for a horse”, “as dead as a doornail”, “as good luck would have
In literature you have many specialized terms. Some are of them are words only used in literature, while others are used elsewhere, but with different or broader meaning. I have listed here some interesting word used in literature. The words might have other meanings, but here I only describe their meanings in a literary context:
1. Archetype: A typical example of something. A prototype after which other examples are modeled. 2. Pastoral: An adjective describing a work of literature (or other arts) that idealizes the rural life. 3. Allegory: A story where the characters represent an idea. 4. Omniscient: An adjective used to describe a narrative where you can see into the head of different characters, not just one. 5. Caricature: An exaggerated imitation of someone. 6. Analects: A collection of short stories. 7. Anachronism: When some element in a literary work don´t fit the supposed location or time period the work is taking place. 8. Pathos: An element in literary representation evoking pity or sympathy for someone. 9. Epistolary: A literary work in the form of letters. 10. Soliloquy: A monologue or a comment delivered by a character speaking to themselves.

brothers. They were called the Brothers Grimm. Their names were Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm. The Brothers Grimm were German folklorists and linguists, known for their collections of folktales and folk songs. While the brothers often worked together, Jacob Grimm himself wrote about philological and grammatical matters and discovered the socalled Grimm law. He also published a book called Deutsche Mythologie where he wrote about pre-Christian faith and superstitions in Germany, using poetry, fairy tales, and folklore. Many authors in Europe succeeded him in writing about similar matters, but not all were as careful in their judgments as Jacob Grimm. It is still being published today because of how important it is considered. The Grimm’s most famous work is

This Colom is a little bit about the Hittites Empire, here we can learn a little about their history. The stories of historical artefacts are important to know when searching or digging for them. Being an Archaeologist you can do a lot of things regarding this historical place. You have many places that you can excavate and analyse many things. I like places that have a lot of history behind them and seeing what is left behind of many centuries ago.
This is Hattusili III he was the king of The Hittites Empire for 30 years and was married to Puduheba. He was known to be a very good and reasonable king.

She was a very big part of the royal family. When the peace contract was made, she had a big compacted on that. She knew Ramsess quite well and had a good relationship. Ramsess contacketed Puduheba and not Hattusili when the peace contract was to be made.

There are several reasons why Ella Fitzgerald is probably the best singer of all time in mankind history. Today‘s pop singers don‘t have their toes where Ella Fitzgerald had her heels.

pianist of all time Oscar Peterson was born August 15 , 1925 in Canada. He had a major impact on jazz music. But how could some person that grew up in a poor family become so successful? He never had any piano lessions. At his teenage years, he often snucked into the bars in the neighborhood unauthorized where jazz music was played. At the bar was an old honky tonk. He sat there for hours and payed that honky tonk. He even skipped the school just to play that honky tonk. The bartender was a bass player, and he thought he was a good pianist and they made a good friendship. They were starting to play together with a drummer few months later and they made a fantastic trio. With the trio, he gained fame and popularity throughout Canada. His concerts were
Jazz is often called "The classic of American music.“ Jazz music is one of the oldest and most adored genres which comes from North America. The history of modern jazz can be traced back to the early 20th century in USA. Jazz have been part of African American culture for more than 100 years. The job opportunities for jazz musicians today aren‘t as good as they were early in the 20th century. Jazz musicians today are often employed in fancy restaurants for dinner music.

To proof how strong character Oscar Peterson was, he determined to continue performing, recording and composing. About a year later he revocered and he continued to perform his masterpeaces for the world. Music was not the only thing that matters in his life. His hobbies included fishing, photography and astronomy. He said music was not only his profession, but also his hobby. He had his own home made recording studio which allowed him to work and enjoy his family life at the same time. He performed music until shortly before his death.

Ray Charles Robinson was born September 30, 1930. He grew up in a poor black community in western Florida. What made Ray Charles really special musician was that he started to lose sight at age of four, and he got completely blind at the age of seven. Ray Charles went to school for blind and deff people but got expelled the same year that his mother died for do a prank on the teacher. After he left the school, he moved to his mother‘s friends in Jacksonville. He played the piano with bands there for a year earned 4$ each night. He was allways trying to earn reputation as a talented musician in Jacksonville but nothing happend so he decided to move to a bigger place fo more opportunities and bigger opportunities he got. Ray Charles’s biggest influence on jazz music is deffinitly his version of the song Georgia on my mind which is popular song today even though it was recorded in the 50’s. As well as being a jazz musician, Ray is one of the best Rhythm & Blues musician of all time. His music have had more inspiration on modern music then any other musician from his generation. Musicians like Kanye West and Will I Am have turned a lot of his music to a modern style. Ray Charles passed away June 10th 2004, 73 years old. This great legend is still alive in heart of many people around the world in his music.
