The First Four Books of Xenophon's Anabasis

Xenophon

Beschreibung

In "The First Four Books of Xenophon's Anabasis," the reader is drawn into a vivid account of the Greek mercenary army's perilous journey through Persia after the fall of Cyrus the Younger. Xenophon, both a soldier and a philosopher, employs an engaging narrative style that blends historical detail with personal reflection, creating a rich tapestry of adventure and human resilience. This work, written in the 4th century BCE, serves not only as a military memoir but also as a philosophical exploration of leadership, loyalty, and the struggle for survival, encapsulating the spirit of Classical Greek literature. Xenophon, a student of Socrates and a contemporary of Plato, was deeply influenced by his experiences in battle and his philosophical inquiries. His journey as a mercenary leader shaped his perspectives on governance, ethics, and the human condition. "Anabasis" reflects his insights into the complexities of human motivations and the harsh realities of war, providing a unique lens through which he examines both personal and collective trials. This edition of "The First Four Books of Anabasis" is a crucial resource for readers interested in ancient history, military strategy, and philosophical thought. Scholars and casual readers alike will find Xenophon's narrative compelling, offering lessons that resonate well beyond his time, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

True Tales of the Texas Frontier...

C. Herndon Williams

For eight centuries, the Texas frontier has seen conquest, exploration, immigration, revolution, and innovation, leaving to history a cast of fascinating characters and captivating tales. Its historic period began in 1519 with Spanish exploration, but there was a prehistory long before, nearly fifteen thousand years earlier, with the arrival of people to Texas. Each story pulls a new perspective from this long history by examining nearly all angles—from archaeology to ethnography, astronomy, agriculture, and more. These true stories prove to be unexpected, sometimes contrarian and occasionally funny, but always fascinating. Join author and historian C. Herndon Williams as he recounts his exploration of nearly a millennium of the Texas frontier.
