Synopsis

The Spanish War stands as a paramount anthology, offering readers an intricate exploration of the military, political, and cultural dynamics of Julius Caesar's campaigns in the Iberian Peninsula. Through a diverse range of narratives, including firsthand accounts and analytical commentaries, the collection brings forth the complexity of Roman warfare and diplomacy. The anthology is remarkable for its inclusion of various literary styles, from the detailed military dispatches credited to Caesar himself, to the supplementary accounts by Aulus Hirtius and Gaius Oppius, which provide critical perspectives on the events following Caesar's death. This collection is essential not only for its historical content but also for its examination of the evolution of Roman literary forms in the context of empire building and governance. The contributing authors, Gaius Julius Caesar, Aulus Hirtius, and Gaius Oppius, emerge not just as historical figures but as pivotal contributors to Roman literary and historical tradition. Their backgrounds, stemming from direct involvement in Caesar's military campaigns and political machinations, lend authenticity and depth to the narratives within this collection. Their collective works reflect notable historical and cultural movements of the Roman Republic's transformation into an empire, offering unparalleled insights into the mechanisms of power, control, and resistance in ancient times. For scholars, history enthusiasts, and literary critics alike, The Spanish War offers a unique opportunity to engage with the multifaceted perspectives of Roman literary and historical discourse. This anthology not only broadens the reader's understanding of ancient military and political strategies but also enriches the appreciation for the literary craft of Roman authors. As a scholarly collection, it fosters a deeper dialogue between the historical realities of Roman conquest and the literary expressions that seek to capture and interpret those events. The Spanish War is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to delve into the complexity of Roman history through the eyes of those who lived, fought, and wrote about it.

Living Room Revolution - A...

Cecile Andrews

The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project).

Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed.

Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation.

At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation.

The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room!

“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living

On Being Ill

Virginia Woolf

"Always to have sympathy, always to be accompanied, always to be understood would be intolerable."
Virginia Woolf's essay begins by lamenting the surprise neglect of ill-health as a potential literary subject. What then unfolds is a dazzlingly written series of reflections on sickness, fiction, and the chilling indifference of the natural world. Above all a testament to the fundamental solitariness of the human soul, this is an indispensable work by the preeminent stylist of twentieth-century English literature.
