The Eclogues and Georgics

Virgil

Though it is for the sparkling epic, Aeneid, that the Roman poet Virgil is best known, it was these two poems, The Eclogues and Georgics, which first established his reputation. Cast in the tradition of pastoral poetry, The Eclogues were written between 41 BCE and 37 BCE when Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro, to give him his full name) was in his thirties. The Eclogues (the word means ‘Selections’ in Greek) contain 10 poems, a combination of dialogues and monologues. They drew on the ‘bucolic’ (rural) style of the ancient Greek poet Theocritus (c 300BCE-c 260 BCE), but Virgil weaves many references to contemporary Roman events. Though The Eclogues have perhaps existed in the shadow of Georgics, they have been highly regarded and studied by academics and poets down the centuries. They are presented here in the 20th century translation by the British poet R. C. Trevelyan, and read in multi-voice format as they were originally written, with clearly delineated characters bringing the content to life with verve and temperament.
Though also pastoral in nature, Georgics is very different in style. Published in 29 BCE, the main subject is agriculture (the title reflects the Greek word ‘georgika’, agricultural things), and vigorously promotes traditional means of farming. Again, Virgil weaves into his verse cultural and political themes. Cast in four Books, the dynamic expression draws on numerous Classical, mythical and contemporary references, while explaining the best methods for ploughing, animal husbandry, observing weather patterns, the life of bees and the like. Increasingly, the rise and fall of man’s endeavours can be reflected in the vicissitudes of agricultural life. The 20th century translation of Georgics used on this recording is by the highly respected translator of Latin poetry, Smith Palmer Bovie. It is read by Jamie Parker. Closer study of both works while listening is possible through the complete texts that come with the recording.

Psychology for beginners: The...

Claudia Sonnenbeck

Psychology is a subject with wide and partially unexplored horizons. The psychological well-being of an individual is in fact dependent on every single influence. Starting in the womb, continuing with education, hobbies, views, knowledge, feelings and learned values. These influences provide namely for positive development or also for negative development. These opposites of the positive and negative development describe thereby roughly seen finally the psychology. This tries to explain behaviors of an individual and offers the possibility to overcome fears, for example.To ensure a good introduction to the subject, it is important to mention that one groups the generic term of psychology into many detailed aspects and subtopics. In this context, new findings regularly contribute to the development and progress of psychology. For example, new methods and new therapies are developed through advanced brain research and behavioral observations by compiling statistics.

The Arab Spring - Uprising and...

Nova Ashford

The Arab Spring, a series of pro-democracy uprisings, protests, and revolutions that swept across the Arab world beginning in late 2010, marked a significant turning point in the modern history of the Middle East. The movement, which began in Tunisia and quickly spread to other countries including Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria, and Bahrain, was driven by widespread discontent with authoritarian regimes, economic inequality, and a lack of political freedoms. The Arab Spring was not a single, unified event but rather a collection of distinct yet interconnected uprisings fueled by both longstanding grievances and immediate catalysts. It highlighted the power of ordinary citizens in challenging deeply entrenched political systems, showing the world that the will for change could be powerful even in the face of brutal government repression. 
The Arab Spring began on December 17, 2010, when Mohamed Bouazizi, a street vendor in Tunisia, set himself on fire in protest of police harassment and government corruption. His act of desperation sparked mass protests throughout Tunisia, which eventually led to the ousting of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011. This success encouraged similar uprisings in neighboring countries, particularly in Egypt, where mass protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square forced President Hosni Mubarak to resign after 30 years in power. These initial successes ignited a wave of hope across the Arab world that authoritarian regimes could be overthrown and democratic reforms could be achieved.
