Sinopsis

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.

Ougat - From a hoe into a...

Shana Fife

There’s an entire generation of South African women who ought to read this book.’ – Sara-Jayne King, author of Killing Karoline 
  
‘Ougat is masterfully written – raw, unpretentious, unsettling. Shana Fife captures all the darkness from her body, psyche and life with fearless honesty and transparency.’ – Frazer Barry, award-winning theatre practitioner, writer and musician 
By the time Shana Fife is 25 she has two kids from different fathers. To the Coloured people she grew up around, she is a jintoe, a jezebel, jas, a woman with mileage on the pussy. She is alone, she has no job and, as she is constantly reminded by her community, she is pretty much worthless and unloveable. How did she become this woman, the epitome of everything she was conditioned to strive not to be? 
Unsettlingly honest and brutally blunt, Ougat is Shana Fife’s story of survival: of surviving the social conditioning of her Cape Flats upbringing, of surviving sexual violence and depression and of ultimately escaping a cycle of abuse. 
A powerful, fresh and disarming new voice – Shana’s writing is like nothing you’ve read before.
