  The Carolingian Renaissance -...

  The Carolingian Renaissance was a pivotal moment in European history, marking a revival of learning, culture, and intellectual activity during the reign of Charlemagne and his successors. To fully appreciate this movement, it is essential to understand the historical context from which it emerged. In the centuries following the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Europe experienced a period of cultural and intellectual decline often referred to as the Dark Ages. Classical texts were lost or neglected, education was limited, and much of the knowledge from antiquity was confined to isolated monastic communities. 
  Charlemagne, who became King of the Franks in 768 and later Emperor of the Carolingian Empire in 800, envisioned a unified Christian realm grounded in both faith and knowledge. He recognized that in order to strengthen his empire, he needed educated clergy, literate administrators, and a shared cultural foundation rooted in Roman and Christian traditions. Inspired by this vision, Charlemagne initiated a series of reforms aimed at restoring learning and promoting intellectual growth throughout his territories. This commitment to education and scholarship laid the groundwork for the Carolingian Renaissance. 
  One of the most significant influences on this movement was the Church. As the central institution of medieval Europe, the Church played a crucial role in preserving what remained of classical knowledge. Monasteries, in particular, became the hubs of literacy, where monks copied ancient manuscripts and engaged in theological study. Charlemagne capitalized on this religious infrastructure by encouraging the establishment and reform of monastic schools. These institutions became centers of education not just for future monks, but also for clergy and even lay officials serving in the empire.

  Greek mythology influences us today. For instance, did you know that the famous athletic brand Nike comes from the Greek goddess of victory? 
  Greek mythology has, without a doubt, some of the most well-known legends in the world. Like most people, the Olympians had their fair share of family drama. This audiobook pays strict attention to the genealogy of the Greek gods and the relationships they had with one another, whether they were good, bad, or incestuous. 
  These divine beings gifted humanity joy and despair, and the ancient peoples of Greece and other countries related their own world to the actions of the gods. However, the gods and Titans were all corporeal and capable of physical interaction with humanity. They were no different than the dirt on the ground or the clouds in the sky. They could be seen and touched—especially touched, given their numerous children produced from unions with gods and demi-gods alike. 
  The heavy amount of interaction that humans had with the gods and goddesses in Greek mythology allowed them to make sense of the world order in which they found themselves. It was a constant reminder that all beings in the heavens, earth, and below were all cogs of the same system.In this audiobook, you will discover:The intriguing relationships between gods, men, demi-gods, and monstersThe connection between divinity and weakness. Not only men make mistakes; even seemingly perfect beings screw up regularly.The importance of love as a guiding force of nature and life in generalA practical understanding of the motivations of both men and gods behind their less-than-honorable actionsHow hard work might end in tragedyThe importance of family in Greek mythologyAnd much more!

  ***Evening Standard's best non-fiction 2021*** 
   
  'A brilliant, searing exposé of the lies underpinning work' - Owen Jones 
   
  'Work hard, get paid.' It's simple. Self-evident. But it's also a lie—at least for most of us. For people today, the old assumptions are crumbling; hard work in school no longer guarantees a secure, well-paying job in the future. Far from a gateway to riches and fulfilment, 'work' means precarity, anxiety and alienation. 
   
  In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by award-winning actor Libby Mai, Amelia Horgan poses three big questions: what is work? How does it harm us? And what can we do about it? While abolishing work altogether is not the answer, Lost in Work shows that when we are able to take control of our workplaces, we become less miserable, and can work towards the transformative goal of experimenting with 'work' as we know it. 
  Whether you listen on your commute, or while working from home, Lost in Work will empower you to see beyond the systematic problems you face at your job.
