Sinossi

Journey into the heart of ancient Roman agriculture and discover the enduring wisdom of Virgil's Georgics, a masterpiece that transcends time and continues to inspire readers to this day.

In this captivating exploration of Virgil's timeless work, we embark on a journey through the Roman countryside, where farmers toil in the fields, shepherds tend their flocks, and the rhythms of nature dictate the pace of life. Through vivid descriptions of agricultural practices, weather patterns, and the behavior of animals, Virgil celebrates the nobility of farming and the sacred bond between humanity and the land.

More than a mere instructional manual on agriculture, the Georgics is a profound meditation on the human condition, delving into themes of love, loss, and the quest for meaning in a world often marked by uncertainty and hardship. Virgil's masterful use of language elevates the ordinary to the extraordinary, transforming the mundane tasks of farming into a poetic symphony that resonates with universal truths.

As readers journey through the Georgics, they are invited to contemplate the interconnectedness of all living things, the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity, and the enduring power of hope in the face of despair. Virgil's words transcend time and space, speaking to the hearts of readers across centuries and cultures, offering solace, inspiration, and a deeper understanding of the human experience.

Whether you are a farmer, a lover of nature, or simply a seeker of beauty and wisdom, Virgil's Georgics offers a rich and rewarding journey into the heart of the human spirit. Its timeless insights into the relationship between humanity and nature, the significance of agriculture, and the enduring legacy of tradition make it a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Immerse yourself in the beauty and wisdom of Virgil's Georgics and discover the enduring legacy of one of the greatest works of Western literature.

  • Disappearance of the Surcouf The: The Mysterious Sinking of the Allies’ Largest Submarine during World War II - cover

    When the Surcouf launched in 1929, it was a technological marvel. This wasn’t a conventional submarine at all, but a 3,300-ton, 300-foot-long submersible light cruiser. Armed not just with torpedoes but also a pair of eight-inch guns, the Surcouf had a range of over 10,000 miles and was equipped with a seaplane in a hanger and a prison capable of holding up to 40 prisoners. When it was launched, the submarine looked like something out of the novels of Jules Verne, and many people believed it would make all existing submarines (and many surface warships) obsolete. However, by the time France found itself at war with Nazi Germany in 1939, the Surcouf was outdated and basically irrelevant, though it was still in active service with the French Navy. 
    When France was defeated by Nazi Germany in June 1940, the majority of French troops and warships ceased fighting. However, some relocated to Britain, the only nation still fighting Germany, to join Free French forces under the command of the charismatic General Charles De Gaulle. The crew of the Surcouf joined the Free French Navy and served from late 1940 to February 1942, when she called in at the British port of Bermuda before sailing for the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, in the South Pacific. On February 12, the Surcouf left Bermuda en route for Tahiti via the Panama Canal and was never seen again. 
    There have been many theories about what might have happened to the Surcouf and her 130-man crew, ranging from an accidental collision to sabotage and even accidental (or deliberate) attacks by her allies. As a result, the fate of the Surcouf has become one of the most enduring and baffling maritime mysteries, and it still generates a great deal of debate.

    "The authors do a good job using the diaries, interviews, and books written by group members to convey a vivid—sometimes too vivid—picture of war at its most elemental." —The Journal of the Air Force Historical FoundationIn February 1942, a reconnaissance party of United States Army Air Force officers arrived in England. Firmly wedded to the doctrine of daylight precision bombing, they believed they could help turn the tide of the war in Europe. In the months that followed, they formed the Eighth Air Force – an organization that grew at an astonishing rate. To accommodate it, almost seventy airfields were hastily built across the eastern counties of England.  At the heart of the Eighth Air Force was its bombardment groups, each equipped with scores of heavily armed, four-engine bombers. These Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses and Consolidated B-24 Liberators were soon punching through the enemy's defenses to bomb targets vital to its war effort. They were crewed by thousands of young American airmen, most of whom were volunteers.  This book tells the story of just one "Bomb Group" – the 381st, which crossed the Atlantic in May 1943. Arriving at RAF Ridgewell on the Essex-Suffolk border, its airmen quickly found themselves thrown into the hazardous and attritional air battle raging in the skies over Europe. The 381st’s path led from its formation in the Texan desert, to its 297th and final bombing mission deep into the heart of Hitler’s Third Reich. This is the remarkable story of one group and the part it played in the strategic bombing campaign of "The Mighty Eighth."
