Oration Over the Dead Body of Cæsar

Marcus Antonius

Maison d'édition: Edizioni Aurora Boreale

Synopsis

Amid the chaos and strife following the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE, Mark Antony (83-30 BCE), with the advice of Cicero, persuaded the Roman Senate to declare an amnesty which pardoned the Liberators and accepted the legitimacy of Caesar's dictatorship. A public funeral followed, at which Antony delivered his famous funeral oration, a significant first step in his assertion of independent political authority in Rome.
Caesar's funeral took place on 20 March. It was a grand ceremony and the occasion for a funeral oration which, in accordance with tradition, celebrated the deceased's heritage but chiefly recounted the departed's illustrious deeds and their value to the Republic.
The Oration Over the Dead Body of Cæsar was delivered by Marcus Antonius in the Roman Forum, 44 B.C. and reported by Dion Cassius in his History of Rome. We present it to our readers today in the English translation by Herbert Baldwin Porter (1905), Professor of Greek in Lehigh University.

Secret Bloodlines

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
We watch the news. We see war, disease, poverty, man against man. We see billions of poor people, displaced by the power brokers. We see the super rich getting richer. Many simply see the news, they don't understand or even try to. They don't know the bigger picture, the truth about what is really happening out there. 
 
The truth is, what happens out there, affects us all. And all of those world events are happening, not by chance, but by design. All of our lives are being affected by just a few men. Those men are members of an elite group. Their ancestors plotted and schemed just as they do today. Their goals are short and long term. 
 
They affect all levels of society. Lawmakers and enforcers, religious and political leaders, movie makers and media moguls, industrial giants and pharmaceutical murderers. 
 
All around the world they work. Plotting and scheming, scheming and plotting. Nobody dares to speak out against them. Most don't even know. Through clever manipulation, marketing, propaganda and force, they control the world. These are not the people you're thinking of. These are not always the politicians who are often pawns themselves. 
 
These people are members of a long line, a golden thread through history that stretches back thousands of years and can be traced through their own bloodline.

The Louisiana Purchase and...

Sanford Levinson, Bartholomew...

The 1803 purchase of the Louisiana Territory was a watershed event for the fledgling United States. Adding some 829,000 square miles of territory, the Louisiana Purchase set a striking precedent of Presidential power and brought to the surface profound legal and constitutional questions. As the nation continued to expand westward and into the Pacific and Caribbean, critical social, political and constitutional questions arose that greatly tested American resolve and reshaped the nation's founding premises.    In this exciting collection, Sanford Levinson and Bartholomew Sparrow bring together noted scholars in American history, constitutional law, and political science to examine role that the Louisiana Purchase played in shaping both the expansionist policies of the nineteenth century and critical interpretations of the Constitution. The Louisiana Purchase and American Expansion, 1803–1898 provides a fascinating overview of how the U.S. Constitution and the American political system is inextricably tied to

Amartya Sen

"One of the few world intellectuals on whom we may rely to make sense out of our existential confusion." —Nadine Gordimer 
 
 
 
In this sweeping philosophical work, Amartya Sen proposes that the murderous violence that has riven our society is driven as much by confusion as by inescapable hatred. Challenging the reductionist division of people by race, religion, and class, Sen presents an inspiring vision of a world that can be made to move toward peace as firmly as it has spiraled in recent years toward brutality and war.
