Sinopsis

In "Pompeii, Its Life and Art," August Mau meticulously examines the vivid tapestry of daily life in Pompeii before the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Through a rich narrative interwoven with detailed descriptions of frescoes, mosaics, and urban artifacts, Mau illustrates the Agora's bustling community, the social and cultural dynamics of its inhabitants, and the artistic achievements that epitomized Roman life. The book, grounded in archaeological findings and historical texts, serves as a critical resource for understanding the interplay between art and everyday existence within the ancient Roman milieu. August Mau, a renowned archaeologist and expert on Roman antiquities, dedicated his life to exploring the remnants of the past, particularly the remarkably preserved ruins of Pompeii. His profound engagement with both classical literature and the emerging field of archaeology enabled him to create this comprehensive study, which synthesizes artistic analysis and contextual historical exploration. Mau's scholarly insights reflect not only his vast knowledge but also his passion for unearthing the stories encapsulated within the ruins. This work is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersection of art, history, and archaeology. Mau's vivid portrayals make ancient Pompeii come alive, allowing modern audiences to appreciate the complexity of its culture and the tragic beauty of its demise. Whether you are a scholar, a student, or simply an enthusiast of ancient history, "Pompeii, Its Life and Art" is an indispensable addition to your literary collection.

    In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Jean-Paul Sartre, the father of existentialism and author of Existentialism and Human Emotions, exploring human identity, atheism, morality, and meaning.

    In their search for truth and happiness, the classical philosophers overlooked one of the most important facets of our lives—sexuality. The author rectifies this error by questioning this field of knowledge and practice: What is "good" coitus? What is a "nice" ass? What is a "legal" sexual act? What is universally "true" in sexuality? Who is "perverse?" Does sex represent a momentary pleasure, or could it embody a foundation for happiness? Using concrete examples, Sylvain Bosselet deconstructs the preconceptions that hinder our freedom and hinder sexual happiness. He seeks to lay the foundations for a philosophy of sex.

    Secret Powers and Why We Shouldn't Use Them by Manly P. Hall is a thought-provoking exploration of the hidden abilities within human consciousness and the moral, ethical, and spiritual implications of their misuse. Drawing from esoteric traditions, philosophy, and psychology, Hall delves into the nature of these powers, such as clairvoyance, telepathy, and other psychic phenomena, emphasizing their potential to disrupt personal and universal harmony if wielded irresponsibly. Through a balanced perspective, he advocates for self-discipline, ethical development, and a commitment to spiritual growth as prerequisites for engaging with these latent abilities. The work serves as both a cautionary tale and an invitation to introspection, encouraging readers to align with universal principles of integrity and wisdom before attempting to unlock their hidden potential.
