Sinossi

Athens Legacy explores the profound impact of Athens on Western civilization, focusing on Athenian philosophy, the Olympic Games, and Athenian democracy. It argues that Athens uniquely blended intellectual inquiry, physical prowess, and civic engagement.

 
The book highlights how the Olympic Games were not just athletic competitions, but also religious and cultural events fostering a pan-Hellenic identity. Similarly, the evolution of Athenian democracy, while groundbreaking, also presented limitations, such as the exclusion of women from political life.

 
The book systematically progresses from pre-Socratic philosophers to the rise of Athenian democracy, then to the Olympic Games, analyzing the works of Plato and Aristotle, Athenian drama, and architecture.

 
By drawing on primary sources like Plato and Aristotle, along with archaeological findings, it provides a balanced assessment of Athens' enduring contribution.

 
The book culminates by tracing the influence of Athenian ideals on subsequent civilizations, examining both successes and failures in their adoption which makes it valuable to those interested in Philosophy, History World, and World History.

Free to Stand for Truth and Justice

Laurent Gbagbo

Ousted from power by the French army on April 11, 2011, following the disputed presidential election in Côte d'Ivoire of November 2010, Laurent Gbagbo was charged with crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, on December 5, 2011.

This book, written from 2012 onwards, thanks to numerous prison visits and interviews, is the only one to have been produced with the participation of the Ivorian president during his incarceration and trial.
This unique testimony is more than ever a document for history, because it sheds light on the manipulations of the 2010 elections, the collusion between Nicolas Sarkozy's France and the ICC to get rid of Laurent Gbagbo, and the stalling tactics and maneuvers that marred "Gbagbogate."
Over meetings with François Mattei, Laurent Gbagbo looks back on his seven years in prison, explains what they mean and shares his vision for the future—that of a free man, come what may.
