Sinopsis

Yale Classics (Vol. 2) brings together a panorama of writings from some of the most pivotal figures in classical antiquity, presented in a wide range of literary forms—from philosophical treatises and poignant poetry to historical narratives and dramatic scripts. The anthology skillfully encapsulates the multi-faceted dimensions of ancient Roman and Greek thought, illustrating both the diversity and the interconnectedness of these civilizations. Noteworthy are the contributions from genres that defined their eras, such as epic poetry, satire, and historiography, which collectively underscore the intellectual breadth of the classical world. The anthology's contributors—ranging from poets like Virgil and Catullus to philosophers like Seneca and statesmen like Cicero—reflect a vibrant cross-section of ancient intellectual life. These authors were integral to various movements such as the development of Golden and Silver Latin literature, and the philosophical inquiries of Stoicism and Epicureanism. Together, their works not only align with but also actively shaped the socio-political and cultural contours of their times, offering readers a nuanced understanding of classical antiquity's legacy. Yale Classics (Vol. 2) is thus an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to delve into the rich tapestry of classical literature. It presents a unique opportunity to engage with the myriad perspectives and literary textures of a transformative epoch. Educators, students, and general readers alike will find in this volume a profound source for education and inspiration, furthering an appreciation of how these ancient voices continue to inform modern thought and dialogue.

Sri Ramakrishna: A Biography

Swami Nikhilananda

The biography of Sri Ramakrishna is the story of an intense search for God. Sri Ramakrishna was not satisfied until he realized God to be real with every fiber of his being. He ultimately saw God more intensely than he saw the world. Sri Ramakrishna talked with God as a young child speaks to the mother throughout the day. In him, there was only the thought of God, and he saw God everywhere and in everything. The Nobel Laureate Romain Rolland described Sri Ramakrishna’s life as the fulfillment of the spiritual aspirations of three hundred million Hindus for the last two thousand years. Mahatma Gandhi said, “No one can read the story of his life without being convinced that God alone is real and all else is illusion.”
Swami Nikhilananda was a disciple of Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, the wife and spiritual companion of Sri Ramakrishna. He was a senior monk of the Ramakrishna Order of India, and founder in 1933 of the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center of New York. As a gifted speaker, he taught classes and spoke on spiritual life and the harmony of religions in New York until his passing away in 1973. He was a beloved teacher to many spiritual aspirants, and also to students of philosophy, history, and religion. Nikhilananda had the rare privilege of intimately associating with many of the direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna. His translations of the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and his biographies of Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother, and Swami Vivekananda, are considered modern classics of spiritual literature.

Mothership - A Memoir of Wonder...

Greg Wrenn

Professor Greg Wrenn likes to tell his nature-writing students, "The ecological is personal, and the personal is ecological." What he's never told them is how he's lived out those correspondences to heal from childhood abuse at the hands of his mother. 
 
 
 
Weaving together memoir and cutting-edge science, Mothership is not just a queer coming-of-age story. It's a deeply researched account of how coral reefs and a psychedelic tea called ayahuasca helped Greg heal from complex PTSD—a disorder of trust, which makes the very act of bonding with someone else panic-inducing. From the tide pools in Florida where he grew up, to Indonesia's Raja Ampat archipelago and the Amazon rainforest, this is his search for wholeness when talk therapy and pharmaceuticals did little to help. Along the way, as his ecological conscience wakes up, he takes listeners underwater to the last pristine reefs on earth, and into the psyche. 
 
 
 
Written with prophetic urgency, Mothership ultimately asks if doses of nature will be enough to save us before it's too late.
