Sinopsis

In "The Greatest Works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau," readers are invited into the intricate tapestry of Rousseau's thoughts that shaped modern philosophy and political theory. This anthology showcases his seminal writings, including "The Social Contract" and "Confessions," characterized by a lyrical prose style that intertwines personal narrative with profound philosophical inquiry. Rousseau's exploration of human nature and society remains crucial within the Enlightenment context, challenging the foundations of authority and promoting the ideals of democracy and individual freedom. His emphasis on the innate goodness of man, corrupted by civilization, is both a critique and reflection of the societies of his time. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was a pivotal figure of the Enlightenment, whose tumultuous life experiences, from orphanhood to political involvement in revolutionary France, informed his philosophy. His background as a writer and composer, along with his radical ideas about education and governance, led him to synthesize personal and political pursuits, giving birth to concepts that would influence future generations, including the likes of Marx and Kant. Rousseau'Äôs struggles against societal norms amplified his desire to provoke critical thought about the individual's role in society. This compendium is essential reading for those seeking to understand the evolution of modern thought, offering profound insights into the nature of freedom, equality, and the social contract. Rousseau's passionate prose resonates with contemporary issues, making this collection not only a historical document but also a commentary on current societal challenges. Dive into Rousseau's greatest works to experience the power of his ideas and their remarkable relevance today.

    Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. But all, through their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires, uniquely illuminate our shared experience 
      
    When she arrived in the New World at eighteen, Anne Bradstreet was a reluctant passenger: 
    her old, comfortable lifestyle in England was quickly dashed against the rocks of the Massachusetts 
    Bay. While the wilderness of America and the drama of establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony at times overwhelmed her, she always took refuge in the belief that it was God’s plan.  Anne respected the Puritan teachings and followed them her entire life, always searching for God’s hand in everything around her. But she also was inspired by a strong female leader of the day, Queen Elizabeth, and 
    this influence taught Anne to push herself beyond the day’s limitations. She managed her home, educated her children, encouraged her husband, and sought her Lord—all with a poet’s heart.

    Caesar Augustus, originally known as Gaius Octavius, was the first Roman Emperor and one of the most transformative figures in world history. Born into an affluent plebeian family, he belonged to an ancient and influential equestrian branch of the gens Octavia. His path to power began under extraordinary circumstances. Following the assassination of his maternal great-uncle, Julius Caesar, in 44 BC, Octavius was named in Caesar's will as his adopted son and successor. This inheritance not only granted him the prestigious name of Caesar but also gave him control over Caesar’s vast estate and the loyalty of his legions. These legions played a pivotal role in his rise to power, securing his place as one of the most powerful individuals in Roman history. 
    In the aftermath of Caesar's assassination, the Roman Republic was plunged into chaos, and Octavius, together with Mark Antony and Marcus Lepidus, formed the Second Triumvirate to avenge Caesar's death and secure their political dominance. This alliance, however, was marred by internal strife and competing ambitions. After their victory over Caesar’s assassins at the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC, the Triumvirs divided the Republic’s territories among themselves. Yet, the unity that had characterized their alliance quickly began to erode, as their personal and political ambitions led to inevitable conflict. Lepidus was soon sidelined, and in 36 BC, Antony’s support began to wane, leading to the climactic Battle of Actium in 31 BC. The defeat of Antony, coupled with the subsequent suicide of both Antony and his ally Cleopatra, left Octavian as the undisputed ruler of Rome.

    A complete biography of the ancient Macedonian king and one of history’s greatest military leaders.Alexander the Great, son of King Philip II of Macedonia, and his fourth wife, Olympias, seemed destined for success. He had Aristotle for a tutor until he was sixteen. He took interest in his father’s military efforts abroad, and worried there would be nothing left to conquer when he became king. When ambassadors from Persia arrived in Macedonia, they tried to entertain young Alexander with colorful stories of their home, but the future leader was more interested in their armies and war tactics. It should be no surprise that Alexander became one of ancient history’s greatest and most successful military leaders.In this biography, author Jacob Abbott recounts the life and times of Alexander the Great. He takes readers through the king’s early years, including his youth and education, as well as his relationship with his parents. The history continues with Alexander’s ascension to the throne at the age of twenty and details all the drama and military victories over the next ten years of the monarch’s reign as he expanded his empire from Macedonia and Egypt to northwest India. Unfortunately, Alexander’s demise soon followed, but not before he left his mark on the world. Nineteenth-century American author Jacob Abbott wrote many books over the course of his own life from juvenile fiction to history. He wrote numerous biographies on such monumental individuals as Alfred the Great, Queen Elizabeth I, Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, and Peter the Great.
