  Lenin Lives?

  Lenin's work and influence have often been written off as no longer relevant, and many today consider this to be so. Lenin has, they claim, had his day, even though he is still revered in China, the world's most populous country. However, Lenin, like his mentor Marx, has had a tendency to rise from apparent decline and oblivion to renewed force and influence. 
   
   
   
  This study examines the key elements of Lenin's life and career, the consolidation of his ideas into the doctrines of "Leninism," the influence of Leninism in promoting revolutionary movements around the globe, and the currently disputed issue of whether his ideas still have any relevance today. In particular, while considering his views on the role of the revolutionary party, often seen as the centerpiece of his theory and practice, this account identifies the root of Lenin's global influence in his opposition to capitalist imperialism and as a bedrock foundation for the opposition of many to fascism and associated ideologies. While recognizing that Lenin's reputation has reached its lowest point, not least in his home country where his legacy is reviled by Vladimir Putin and other contemporary leaders, the book concludes by weighing up the contemporary arguments of those who believe that Lenin still lives.

  Facing Down the Furies - Suicide...

  An award-winning classicist turns to Greek tragedies for the wisdom to understand the damage caused by suicide and help those who are contemplating suicide themselves 
   
  In Sophocles’ tragedy Oedipus the Tyrant, a messenger arrives to report that Jocasta, queen of Thebes, has killed herself. To prepare listeners for this terrible news, he announces, “The tragedies that hurt the most are those that sufferers have chosen for themselves.” Edith Hall, whose own life and psyche have been shaped by such loss—her mother’s grandfather, mother, and first cousin all took their own lives—traces the philosophical arguments on suicide, from Plato and Aristotle to David Hume and Albert Camus. 
   
  In this deeply personal story, Hall explores the psychological damage that suicide inflicts across generations, relating it to the ancient Greek idea of a family curse. She draws parallels between characters from Greek tragedy and her own relatives, including her great-grandfather, whose life and death bore similar motivations to Sophocles’ Ajax: both men were overwhelmed by shame and humiliation. 
   
  Hall, haunted by her own periodic suicidal urges, shows how plays by Sophocles and other Greek dramatists helped her work through the loss of her grandmother and namesake Edith and understand her relationship with her own mother. The wisdom and solace found in the ancient tragedies, she argues, can help one choose survival over painful adversity and offer comfort to those who are tragically bereaved. 
   
  Edith Hall is a professor in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Durham University. She is the author of more than thirty books, including Aristotle’s Way: How Ancient Wisdom Can Change Your Life. She lives in Cambridgeshire, UK.

  The Pyramids of Giza -...

  The story of the Pyramids of Giza begins long before the massive limestone structures rose on the western edge of the Nile. To understand their origins, one must look back to the early burial traditions of ancient Egypt, where the desire to honor and protect the dead laid the foundation for increasingly complex funerary architecture. In the earliest periods, Egypt's elite were buried in simple rectangular tombs called mastabas, built from mudbrick and later stone. These low, flat structures served as a prototype for more ambitious designs that would come to define ancient Egypt’s monumental legacy. 
  As the Egyptian state grew more centralized during the Early Dynastic Period and into the Old Kingdom, the architectural evolution of tombs became a symbol of royal power and divine authority. The concept of the king as a god on earth demanded a burial structure that reflected his eternal status. This shift led to the experimentation with stepped designs, culminating in the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, designed by the architect Imhotep during the Third Dynasty. This innovation marked the beginning of the pyramid as a distinct architectural form and demonstrated a newfound mastery of stone construction. 
  With each successive generation, the ambition behind royal tombs expanded. The transition from stepped to smooth-sided pyramids represented not just an aesthetic shift but a symbolic one, intended to reflect the pharaoh's journey to the heavens. By the time the Fourth Dynasty began, kings such as Sneferu pioneered structural advancements, including multiple attempts at pyramid design that culminated in the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. These efforts set the stage for the apex of pyramid construction: the Pyramids of Giza.
