The Reign of Tiberius Out of the First Six Annals of Tacitus - With His Account of Germany and Life of Agricola

Cornelius Tacitus

Sinopse

In 'The Reign of Tiberius, Out of the First Six Annals of Tacitus,' Cornelius Tacitus intricately examines the complexities of political power during the reign of Tiberius, highlighting the interplay between morality and governance in ancient Rome. Tacitus employs a fragmented but eloquent narrative style, characterized by piercing insights and a rich vocabulary that evokes the turbulent atmosphere of his subject's era. This work serves as a crucial part of Tacitus's larger historical narrative, reflecting the moral decay and political stratagems that defined the Julio-Claudian dynasty, while also engaging with broader themes of tyranny and the struggle for personal integrity amidst corruption. Tacitus, a senator and historian of Rome, lived through the very political machinations he describes, providing him with unique insights into the dynamics of power and governance. His background as both a public official and an observer of Roman life imbues his writing with authenticity and depth. Tacitus's critical perspective, shaped by the tumultuous socio-political landscape of his times, allows readers to appreciate the profound implications of Tiberius's rule. Recommended for historians, classicists, and general readers alike, this compelling examination of Tiberius offers a nuanced understanding of Imperial Rome's complexities. Readers will find themselves drawn into the intricate web of ambition, betrayal, and the moral dilemmas faced by those in power, marking this work as an essential contribution to the study of Roman history.

Democracy in America

Alexis de Tocqueville, Harvey C....

Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-59) came to America in 1831 to see what a great republic was like. What struck him most was the country’s equality of conditions, its democracy. The book he wrote on his return to France, Democracy in America, is both the best ever written on democracy and the best ever written on America. It remains the most often quoted book about the United States, not only because it has something to interest and please everyone, but also because it has something to teach everyone. 
  
When it was published in 2000, Harvey Mansfield and Delba Winthrop’s new translation of Democracy in America—only the third since the original two-volume work was published in 1835 and 1840—was lauded in all quarters as the finest and most definitive edition of Tocqueville’s classic thus far. Mansfield and Winthrop have restored the nuances of Tocqueville’s language, with the expressed goal “to convey Tocqueville’s thought as he held it rather than to restate it in comparable terms of today.” The result is a translation with minimal interpretation, but with impeccable annotations of unfamiliar references and a masterful introduction placing the work and its author in the broader contexts of political philosophy and statesmanship.

Brave Dames and Wimpettes - What...

Susan Isaacs

What makes Buffy the Vampire Slayer a "brave dame" but Ally McBeal a "wimpette"? In this witty, incisive look at the role of women on screen and page, Susan Isaacs argues that assertive, ethical women characters are losing ground to wounded, shallow sisters who are driven by what she calls, "the articles of wimpette philosophy." Although female roles have included lawyers like Ally McBeal, they are wimpettes nonetheless. A brave dame, on the other hand, is a dignified, three-dimensional hero who may care about men, home, and hearth, but also cares—and acts—passionately about something in the world beyond. Brave dames' stories range from mundane (Mary Richards in The Mary Tyler Moore Show) to romantic (Francesca in The Horse Whisperer) to fantastic (Xena: Warrior Princess), but whatever they do, they care about justice and carry themselves with self-respect and decency.

Right from Wrong: My Story of...

Jacob Dunne

Now a major new stage play 'Punch' by James Graham
★★★★★ The Times
★★★★★ What's On Stage
★★★★ Guardian
★★★★ Telegraph
★★★★ Financial Times
★★★★ The Stage
In 2011 Jacob Dunne threw a single punch that ended another man’s life. Sentenced to prison for manslaughter, he served fourteen months of a custodial sentence. On his release, he found himself homeless, unemployed and struggling to find a sense of purpose. But with the help of others, and with the encouragement of his victim’s parents, he managed to get his life back on track.
Right From Wrong follows the course of Jacob’s life, beginning on a council estate in Nottingham. Beset by problems at home and at school, Jacob drifted into drug-related gang culture, drinking heavily and fighting for fun before a fateful night changed the course of his life. Unflinching in its account of Jacob’s guilt and shame, this book will reveal how Jacob used the experience to turn things around. He has been actively involved with Restorative Justice programmes including the Forgiveness Project, has reconciled with those he has hurt, has earned a first-class degree in Criminology and become a husband and father.
Jacob’s story is in some ways unique, but it is also reflective of the experiences of young working-class men and boys across the country. By reflecting on his story, he hopes he might help people to avoid the kind of mistakes he made. In the process he points to the societal reforms needed in order to avoid an endless cycle of criminality and hopelessness.
Right From Wrong is a deeply humane and honest book, and an unflinching look at men’s mental health and emotions at a time when our awareness of these things is of crucial importance.
Jacob Dunne's Right From Wrong is a deeply personal and inspirational autobiography that delves into the societal issues of crime and law. This top-rated memoir is a testament to the power of self-help and societal reform, making it a must-read for those interested in social issues.
For fans of Joel Mciver (Fathers, Brothers, and Sons), Chris Ayres (War Reporting For Cowards), Dave Grohl (Beast), Nikki Sixx (The Heroin Diaries), and Mick Wall (Like a Bat Out of Hell).
