Agrippa Postumus Reject And Predestined

Patrizio Corda

Sinossi

12 BC. - Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa Postumus is born in the most prosperous period of the Roman Empire, in which in power is its founder Augustus himself.
The son of the famous Agrippa, he can also claim membership to the Julio-Claudian dynasty on his mother's side.
With Augustus struggling with a scarcity of direct heirs, everything would suggest a bright future for Agrippa within the dynasty.
But his very existence will prove to be a problem not only for the Caesar's plans, but also and especially for those who aspire to alter them. Determined to assert his independence and freedom in a court plagued by conspiracies and subterfuges, Agrippa will endure countless trials and suffer as many abuses.
Until when, with Rome now seemingly unattainable, he will have a new opportunity to choose between eternal glory and oblivion.

A Russian on Commando - The Boer...

Boris Gorelik

In January 1900, galvanised by the daring of the Boers in taking on imperial Britain, the young Russian officer Yevgeny Avgustus set off for the Transvaal to fight in the Anglo-Boer War. Like most of the foreign volunteers who flocked to the Boer cause, he ended up on the Natal front.
Avgustus and his companions joined the Krugersdorp Commando, and their experiences in the field are portrayed in vivid detail. The central part of this gripping account covers the Battle of the Tugela Heights in February 1900 and the Boers' subsequent
retreat. The immediacy of Avgustus's writing captures his trepidation and excitement as he approaches the battlefield for the first time, as well as his experience of life on commando.
The keen eye of this foreign volunteer brings to life a turning point in South African history. Avgustus is a gifted writer, and his narrative offers both acute observation and thoughtful
introspection.
A gripping portrayal of human frailty and courage in the face of mortal danger, A Russian on Commando highlights both the strange attraction and the absurdities of war.

Extinguished - A Fire Chief's...

Steve Serbic, Lori Yohannes

What do you do when you lose more than you can afford, when the stable bridge you’ve been crossing suddenly gives way and you find yourself plummeting into a chasm of fear and self-doubt? 
After losing a dear friend and fellow firefighter to suicide, Steve is left shaken and leaves the fire service forever – or so he thinks. While trying to decide what his future holds, Steve takes us through his past. From Firefighter to Assistant Chief, a winning lottery ticket to a twist of fate, a series of strange health problems and devastating injury, Steve pulls us along the dizzying journey with him. And just when we think it can’t possibly get any worse for him, he leads us to the edge. And then the healing begins. 
Although a sequel to his first book, The Unbroken, Extinguished is a story of its own, stranger than fiction, and another incredible example of Steve’s willingness to lay everything on the line to help anyone suffering from mental illness. At the same time, this isn’t a book just for them, or just for first responders. It is powerfully human and will resonate with everyone who reads it.

Essays: First Series Circles

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nothing stands still. The moment we grasp an idea, it expands beyond us. The instant we define a boundary, a wider one emerges. Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay Circles is not about shapes on a page but about the shifting nature of thought, existence, and perception. Each insight is a stepping stone, each conclusion just another starting point. There is no final answer—only an ever-widening ring of understanding.
Emerson writes with the quiet confidence of someone who has seen the world rearrange itself countless times. He does not dictate; he invites. He does not confine; he liberates. Circles is both a challenge and a comfort: the challenge to let go of fixed truths, the comfort that every ending is merely a new circumference waiting to be drawn. This essay, part of his Essays: First Series, distills the restless energy of transcendentalism into a meditation on the inevitable movement of life.
To read Circles is to be reminded that no thought, no identity, no moment is static. And that is not a reason for despair, but for wonder.
