Summary

In "Anton Tchekhov, and Other Essays," Lev Shestov presents a profound exploration of Tchekhov's literary genius through a philosophical lens. Shestov's essays blend critical analysis with existential thought, illustrating how Tchekhov's works capture the essence of human fragility and the absurdities of life. With a stylistic clarity and depth, Shestov interweaves biographical context with textual interpretations, revealing Tchekhov's influence amidst the broader currents of Russian literary modernism. This collection invites readers to engage with Tchekhov's themes of suffering, morality, and the search for meaning within the human experience. Lev Shestov, a pivotal figure in 20th-century Russian philosophy, is known for his existentialist and sometimes mystic views, which deeply inform his writings. Torn between his Russian roots and European influences, Shestov's insights into Tchekhov reflect his own struggles with faith, doubt, and the complexities of existence. Shestov's literary career was shaped by his belief in the power of literature to confront life's existential dilemmas, making this collection a natural extension of his philosophical inquiries. Readers who seek a deeper understanding of Tchekhov's work will find Shestov's essays indispensable. By melding literary criticism with philosophical reflection, this collection not only enriches one's appreciation of Tchekhov's texts but also prompts introspection about our own existence. Shestov's unique perspective offers a compelling invitation to explore the intricate dance between tragedy and comedy that defines the human condition.

  • Jugurthine War The: The History of the Roman Republic’s Controversial Conflict with the Numidians - cover

    Jugurthine War The: The History...

    Before the Numidians were conquered by the Romans and Numidia was officially made part of Roman Africa, they developed a culture that was as sophisticated and unique as any in the ancient world. The Numidians were a Berber people who emerged from the edge of the desert in the late 2nd millennium BCE, and despite the harshness of their environment (or perhaps because of it), they eventually became the most powerful people in North Africa. The Numidians found success on the backs of horses, which they rode to countless military victories, and when they could not defeat their enemies with conventional tactics, they were not afraid to resort to asymmetrical warfare.  
    	The most famous conflict with the Romans was the Jugurthine War, even though the Romans do not appear to have officially declared war on Numidia. The Romans entered Numidia determined to defeat Jugurtha and his Numidian army in a very conventional way, but having fought alongside and against the Numidians in the Punic Wars, the Romans should have known better, as Jugurtha knew that he had little chance of defeating the Romans in head-to-head combat. Numidia was rich, but it was not as rich as Rome in resources or people, and although the Numidian military was among the best in the Mediterranean at the time, it was not equipped to defeat the Romans.  
    	The most significant aspect of the Jugurthine War was the rivalry that it produced between Marius and Sulla. As was tradition, the commander, Marius, received the credit for the victory, but Sulla resented that his own part was downplayed, in particular his personal success in taking Jugurtha into custody. Sulla had a celebratory ring made to commemorate the event, and he, and the aristocratic faction that supported him, did all they could to enhance the role he had played while minimizing that of Marius.

    "A vital book about the ridiculously cozy relationship between corporate wealth and government power and how it only seems to be getting worse" (William Cohan, author of Money and Power). 
     
     
     
    In the United States today we have good reasons to be afraid. Our Bill of Rights has been rendered powerless by ubiquitous surveillance and our freedoms are impaired by government control of information, systemic financial corruption, and unfettered corporate influence in our elections. Behind a thinning veneer of democracy, the Corporate Security State is tipping the balance between the self-interest of a governing corporate elite and the rights of the people to freedom, safety, and fairness. 
     
     
     
    In The Rise of the American Corporate Security State, Beatrice Edwards examines the real reasons to be afraid in twenty-first-century America, and outlines how we can address them. Our first steps in the right direction may be small, but they are important. They are based on the principle that we have a right to know what our government is doing and to speak openly about it. Creeping censorship, secret courts, and clandestine corporate control are all anathema to democratic practices and must be corrected now—before this last chance to redeem our rights is lost.
