The Roman Dilemma

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

Journey into the heart of ancient Rome and witness the rise and fall of Coriolanus, a legendary warrior whose pride and ambition lead him down a path of destruction and redemption.

In this captivating tale of power, betrayal, and the enduring strength of love, "The Roman Dilemma" explores the complexities of human nature and the fragile balance between honor and duty.

Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, a patrician born to privilege and power, emerges as a beacon of hope for Rome. His unwavering loyalty and unmatched military prowess earn him accolades and glory on the battlefield. Yet, beneath the veneer of invincibility lies a man tormented by pride, ambition, and an unyielding sense of honor.

When the plebeians, the common people of Rome, rise up in protest against the perceived injustices of the patricians, Coriolanus finds himself at a crossroads. Torn between his loyalty to his class and his duty to his country, he makes a fateful decision that will forever alter the course of his life.

Stripped of his titles and banished from Rome, Coriolanus embarks on a path of vengeance, allying himself with Rome's sworn enemies, the Volscians. The consequences of his actions are devastating, as he leads an army against his former city, threatening to destroy everything he once held dear.

As the drums of war thunder and the fate of Rome hangs in the balance, a glimmer of hope emerges from an unexpected source. Volumnia, Coriolanus' indomitable mother, and Virgilia, his devoted wife, undertake a perilous journey to confront him on the battlefield. Their pleas for mercy and forgiveness pierce his hardened heart, causing him to question the path he has chosen.

In a moment of profound realization, Coriolanus recognizes the folly of his actions and the devastating consequences they would bring upon his beloved Rome. With a heavy heart, he relents, sparing his homeland from destruction. However, his decision comes at a great personal cost, as he becomes a pariah in the eyes of the Volscians, who see him as a traitor.

"The Roman Dilemma" is a timeless tale that delves into the depths of human nature and explores the complexities of leadership, duty, and honor. It is a story that resonates across centuries, reminding us of the fragility of power, the corrosive nature of pride, and the ultimate triumph of compassion and forgiveness.

The Two-Parent Privilege - How...

Melissa S. Kearney

In The Two-Parent Privilege, Melissa S. Kearney makes a data-driven case for marriage by showing how the institution's decline has led to a host of economic woes—problems that have fractured American society and rendered vulnerable populations even more vulnerable. Eschewing the religious and values-based arguments that have long dominated this conversation, Kearney shows how the greatest impacts of marriage are, in fact, economic: when two adults marry, their economic and household lives improve, offering a host of benefits not only for the married adults but for their children. Studies show that these effects are today starker, and more unevenly distributed, than ever before. Kearney examines the underlying causes of the marriage decline in the US and draws lessons for how this trend can be reversed. 
 
 
 
Kearney's research shows that a household that includes two married parents functions as an economic vehicle that advantages some children over others. For many, the two-parent home may be an old-fashioned symbol of the American dream. But this book makes it clear that marriage may be our best path to a more equitable future. By confronting the critical role that family makeup plays in shaping children's futures, Kearney offers a critical assessment of what a decline in marriage means for an economy and a society—and what we must do to change course.
