Frederick Douglass

Geoffrey Giuliano

Frederick Douglass was one of the most powerful voices for freedom and justice in nineteenth-century America. Born into slavery, he rose through determination, intellect, and extraordinary courage to become an acclaimed writer, newspaper publisher, statesman, and one of the leading abolitionists of his age. His life stands as one of the most remarkable stories of personal achievement in American history.

Born in Maryland around 1818, Douglass escaped slavery and dedicated the rest of his life to the fight against human bondage. His autobiographies, speeches, and writings exposed the realities of slavery to audiences throughout the United States and abroad, making him one of the most influential advocates for abolition and equal rights. A gifted orator and thinker, Douglass worked alongside many of the leading reformers of his era while maintaining an independent voice on issues of freedom, citizenship, and justice. Following the Civil War, he continued to champion civil rights, voting rights, and equality before the law, becoming one of the most respected public figures of his generation.

This biography traces Douglass's journey from enslavement to national leadership. Drawing upon his autobiographies, speeches, letters, and historical records, it explores the life, achievements, struggles, and enduring legacy of a man whose words helped change a nation. More than a century after his death, Frederick Douglass remains one of the most inspiring and influential figures in American history.

Conduct of Life volume 3

Moses Almosnino, Walter Hilliger

The major work of Rabbi Moses Almosnino (1515-1580), “Conduct of Life,” remains to this day an essential reference in classical Judeo-Spanish literature, now finally available in English in its first translation. First published in Ladino in 1564 as, Sefer Hanhagat hahayim and in 1729 as “Regimiento de la vida”, this three-volume edition is part of the prestigious collection Veritas è terra orietur. The work aims to disseminate the timeless teachings of ethics, in the words of the author: “In all that has been said, my intention is only to make you understand how the one who follows the path of virtue and customs of practising good and pure knowledge since childhood, lives a happy and fulfilled life (Volume 1, chapter 2)” The third volume deals with justice (Volume 3, chapters 1-3) and friendship (chapters 4-8 and 13), love (chapter 9), the five intellectual virtues: understanding, science, wisdom, prudence, and art (chapter 10-11), and the learning of sciences as a path to virtue (chapter 12). This work presents itself as a pedagogical endeavor, intended to provide advice for leading a virtuous life.“Conduct of Life” draws heavily from the Nicomachean Ethics but transcends this source by situating itself at the universal intersection of several traditions: Greco-Arabic philosophy, Judeo-Christian scholasticism, classical Sephardic Judaism, and medieval Jewish thought. Thus, this work contributes to peace and intercultural understanding among peoples.
