The Gallic War

Julius Caesar

Tradutor W. A. McDevitte, W. S. Bohn

Sinopse

In "The Gallic War," Julius Caesar offers a firsthand account of his campaigns against the Gallic tribes from 58 to 50 BCE. Presented in a clear and direct prose style, the work combines historical narrative with insightful commentary on military strategy and the socio-political landscape of ancient Gaul. Caesar's writings are not only a record of his military exploits but also a reflection of his political motives, showcasing his ambition and skill in both leadership and rhetoric. The text is emblematic of the historical literary tradition of the late Roman Republic, blending a documentary approach with the persuasive techniques characteristic of Roman oratory. Julius Caesar, a military general and statesman, played an instrumental role in the transformation of the Roman Republic to the Imperial era. His experiences in Gaul provided him with deep insights into both military tactics and the complexities of local governance, contextually enriching his narrative. Given his dual role as both general and author, the text reveals his understanding of the power of narrative as a political tool, ingraining his legacy in Roman and world history. "The Gallic War" is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, political strategy, or the classical world. Caesar's lucid and compelling narrative transports readers to the front lines of conflict and illuminates the interplay between warfare and governance. This work not only serves as a historical document but also invites readers to ponder the lasting implications of leadership and authority.

Ordinary Mind - Exploring the...

Barry Magid

“A wise and insightful guide to living a saner life.”—Charlotte Joko Beck, author of Everyday Zen 
Is meditation an escape from--or a solution to--our psychological problems? Is the use of antidepressants counter to spiritual practice? Does a psychological approach to meditation reduce spirituality to "self-help"? What can Zen and psychoanalysis teach us about the problems of the mind and suffering?  
Psychiatrist and Zen teacher Barry Magid is uniquely qualified to answer questions like these. Written in an engaging and witty style, Ordinary Mind helps us understand challenging ideas--like Zen Buddhism's concepts of oneness, emptiness, and enlightenment--and how they make sense, not only within psychoanalytic conceptions of mind, but in the realities of our lives and relationships.

Ordinary Wonder Tales

Emily Urquhart

A journalist and folklorist explores the truths that underlie the stories we imagine—and reveals the magic in the everyday. 
“I’ve always felt that the term fairy tale doesn’t quite capture the essence of these stories,” writes Emily Urquhart. “I prefer the term wonder tale, which is Irish in origin, for its suggestion of awe coupled with narrative. In a way, this is most of our stories.” In this startlingly original essay collection, Urquhart reveals the truths that underlie our imaginings: what we see in our heads when we read, how the sight of a ghost can heal, how the entrance to the underworld can be glimpsed in an oil painting or a winter storm—or the onset of a loved one’s dementia. In essays on death and dying, pregnancy and prenatal genetics, radioactivity, chimeras, cottagers, and plague, Ordinary Wonder Tales reveals the essential truth: if you let yourself look closely, there is magic in the everyday.
