Discourses and Enchiridion

Epictetus

For centuries, Stoicism was the unofficial religion of the Roman world.

The stress on endurance, self-restraint, and power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem cold-hearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by Emperor Domitian, who offers the most precise and humane version of Stoic ideals. The Discourses, assembled by his pupil Arrian, catch him in action, publicly setting out his views on ethical dilemmas.

Enchiridion, or Manual, is a distillation of his teachings and an essential manual for those seeking contentment.

Committed to communicating with the broadest possible audience, Epictetus uses humour, imagery conversations and homely comparisons to put his message across. The results are perfect universal justice and calm indifference in the face of pain.

Medieval Conflicts and Dynasties...

Harris Ropes

This volume explores how rival dynasties, religious authorities, and expanding empires shaped the geopolitical and cultural map of the Middle Ages. 
Begin with The Investiture Controversy, the clash between the Church and monarchs over who held the authority to appoint bishops. This power struggle between emperors and popes tested the boundaries between secular and spiritual rule and laid the foundation for modern concepts of church-state relations. 
Move next to The Reconquista, the centuries-long campaign to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. Fueled by religious fervor and royal ambition, this protracted conflict transformed Spain and Portugal and culminated in the powerful Catholic monarchies that would launch the Age of Exploration. 
Then explore The Norman Conquest, a pivotal event that redefined English history. William the Conqueror's triumph at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 not only shifted the English throne but also reshaped the culture, language, and law of the British Isles. 
Finally, journey to The Norman Sicily, where Norman adventurers established a multicultural kingdom blending Latin, Greek, and Arab traditions. This dynamic realm became a beacon of learning and tolerance during a time of widespread division. 
These four works together uncover the complex web of ambition, religion, and warfare that fueled Europe's transformation during the Middle Ages.
