Sinopse

In "The Life of Cicero, Volume One," Anthony Trollope delves into the complex life and political landscape of Marcus Tullius Cicero, one of Rome's most influential orators and statesmen. This meticulously crafted biography not only chronicles Cicero's rise to power but also explores his philosophical musings and the tumultuous backdrop of the Roman Republic during the late Republic era. Trollope employs a narrative style that seamlessly intertwines biographical detail with a rich thematic exploration of rhetoric, ethics, and the moral responsibilities of public life, situating Cicero within the broader currents of 19th-century thought around governance and individual agency. Trollope, an acclaimed Victorian novelist and biographer, drew inspiration for this monumental work from his deep-seated interest in politics and history, reflecting on how the past shapes contemporary society. His extensive travels and familiarity with parliamentary processes in Britain provided him with keen insights into the nature of power and persuasion—elements that are vividly demonstrated in Cicero's life. This dual passion for literature and political philosophy renders Trollope's portrayal of Cicero both intimate and authoritative. Readers seeking a profound understanding of classical rhetoric and its implications on modern governance will find "The Life of Cicero, Volume One" to be an enlightening resource. Trollope's blend of scholarly rigor and engaging prose invites both historians and general readers alike to appreciate Cicero's enduring legacy. This biography is not only a tribute to Cicero's intellect but also a reflection on the timeless nature of political discourse.

    In Conviction, she shares some of the darkest chapters of her life – not to dwell on the trauma, but to share how she found the strength to survive hardship…and learnt to thrive. 
    From experiencing childhood abuse to facing homelessness and dealing with the scars of domestic violence, Norliza’s journey was marked by hardships few can fathom. As a young woman, she was abducted and almost killed by a stranger, leading her down a painful path of depression, addiction and despair. At times, it seemed like escape was impossible. 
    But Norliza’s story didn’t end there. Driven by incredible faith and enduring resilience, she found a way out. Her journey toward healing and self-discovery wasn’t easy, but it was transformative. Today, Norliza is a successful entrepreneur and award-winning keynote speaker whose presentations on personal growth inspire international audiences. 
    Conviction is a powerful testament to the power of the human spirit. It is a story for anyone who has ever felt trapped by their past, weighed down by pain, or uncertain about the future. Through her journey, Norliza teaches us that, even when happiness and fulfilment seem unattainable, the capacity to heal, grow and ultimately find our purpose is within all of us. 
    This book is an invitation to those who need hope. It’s a reminder that, even if you feel broken, you can be restored and renewed. 
    Norliza's conviction was the key to overcoming her struggles – and it can be yours too. 
    Conviction is more than just a memoir. It’s a guide to rising above adversity to step into a life filled with joy, intention and self-belief.

    Plain tells the story of Mary Alice Hostetter's journey to define an authentic self amid a rigid religious upbringing in a Mennonite farm family. Although endowed with a personality "prone toward questioning and challenging," the young Mary Alice at first wants nothing more than to be a good girl, to do her share, and—alongside her eleven siblings—to work her family's Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, farm. She feels fortunate to have been born into a religion where, as the familiar hymn states, she is "safe in the arms of Jesus." As an adolescent, that keen desire for belonging becomes focused on her worldly peers, even though she knows that Mennonites consider themselves a people apart. Eventually she leaves behind the fields and fences of her youth, thinking she will finally be able to grow beyond the prohibitions of her church. Discovering and accepting her sexuality, she once again finds herself apart, on the outside of family, community, and societal norms. 
     
     
     
    This quietly powerful memoir of longing and acceptance casts a humanizing eye on a little-understood American religious tradition and a woman's striving to grow within and beyond it.
