Sinopse

Ancient Greek literature has a profound impact on western literature at large. In particular, many ancient Roman authors drew inspiration from their Greek predecessors. Ever since the Renaissance, European authors in general, including Dante Alighieri, William Shakespeare, John Milton, and James Joyce, have all drawn heavily on classical themes and motifs. Even today authors are fascinated with Greek literature, and still great works of literature are based on ancient myths and plays. The readers can still relate to these works of art and learn from them, even though written two millennials ago. This collection is based on the required reading list of Yale Department of Classics. Originally designed for students, this anthology is meant for everyone wanting to know more about history and literature of this period, interested in poetry, philosophy and drama of Antient Greece.

Disability and the Church - A...

Lamar Hardwick, Bill Gaventa

Lamar Hardwick was thirty-six years old when he found out he was on the autism spectrum. While this revelation helped him understand and process his own experience, it also prompted a difficult re-evaluation of who he was as a person. And as a pastor, it started him on a new path of considering the way disabled people are treated in the church. 
 
 
 
Disability and the Church is a practical and theological reconsideration of the church's responsibilities to the disabled community. Too often disabled persons are pushed away from the church or made to feel unwelcome in any number of ways. As Hardwick writes, "This should not be." He insists that the good news of Jesus affirms God's image in all people, and he offers practical steps and strategies to build stronger, truly inclusive communities of faith.

Enquiry Concerning the...

David Hume

"An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals" is a philosophical treatise written by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. The work was first published in 1751 and is one of Hume's most important works, along with "A Treatise of Human Nature" and "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion". 
In "An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals", Hume explores the nature and foundation of morality. He argues that moral judgments are not based on reason, but on sentiment, or a natural feeling of approval or disapproval that we have towards certain actions or behaviors. He maintains that moral distinctions are not objective features of the world, but rather the products of human psychology. 
Hume also argues that morality is not derived from religion or any other external source, but rather is grounded in human nature and the natural sentiments that we have towards others. He emphasizes the importance of sympathy, or the ability to feel and understand the emotions of others, in the development of moral sentiments. 
Overall, "An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals" is a significant contribution to the field of moral philosophy and continues to be widely studied and debated by scholars today.

Eastern Han Dynasty The: A...

Hui Wang

The Eastern Han Dynasty: A History of China, PART TWO takes you on a thrilling ride through one of China's most dramatic and chaotic eras. This book pulls you right into the palace, where figures like Empress Dou plot and scheme to secure power, even using poison and false charges to remove rivals. You'll watch the rise and fall of powerful families like the Dous and the Liang clan, who used their ties to the throne to control the empire — but always at a heavy cost. 
You'll follow brave officials like Yuan An, Yue Hui, and Cai Yong, who risked everything to speak the truth and challenge corruption. These weren't dry, stiff scholars — they were real people caught in a deadly game of politics, facing off against terrifying figures like Liang Ji and the infamous Ten Regular Attendants, the emperor's most corrupt and dangerous eunuchs. 
This book doesn't just tell you about emperors and generals; it shines a light on the students, rebels, and farmers, too. You'll see how the National Academy students stood up to the powerful, how the Yellow Turban Rebellion shook the empire, and how even everyday folk got tangled in the madness, whether they were sucked into fake "filial" shows or forced to pay crushing taxes to fund the emperor's endless luxuries. 
You'll walk through lavish palace gardens, secret court meetings, bloody battlefields, and fake street markets set up inside the palace for the emperor's entertainment. From wild feasts to puppet rulers, from political assassinations to daring military campaigns, the Eastern Han was packed with stories that read like the best kind of historical drama — because they were real.
