Sinossi

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.

King Arthur - His Life...

Kelly Mass

King Arthur, a legendary figure rooted in medieval history and romance, is often depicted as the British leader who defended Britain against Saxon invaders in the late 5th and early 6th centuries. However, the story of King Arthur is primarily a blend of Welsh and English mythology with elements of literary invention. Most modern historians agree that Arthur is more of a mythical construct than a historical figure. Early sources such as the Annales Cambriae, the Historia Brittonum, and the works of the monk Gildas provide glimpses into Arthur's supposed historical context. Additionally, references to Arthur appear in early poetic works like Y Gododdin, though these allusions remain ambiguous and open to interpretation. 
Arthur’s significance as a cultural and legendary figure solidified in the corpus of stories known as the "Matter of Britain." Geoffrey of Monmouth’s 12th-century Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain) was instrumental in elevating Arthur to international fame. Geoffrey’s imaginative narrative portrayed Arthur as a heroic warrior who defended Britain from both human and supernatural foes. Earlier Welsh and Breton tales, predating Geoffrey’s work, often described Arthur as a semi-magical figure associated with the Welsh otherworld, Annwn. However, the extent to which Geoffrey relied on earlier sources versus his own creativity remains unclear.

Mainline Mama - A Memoir

Keeonna Harris

A powerful exploration of self-resilience, family, and community from activist and prison abolitionist Keeonna Harris. 
Keeonna and Jason met as young teens. Only fourteen, Keeonna had never had a boyfriend before, dreamed of attending Spelman to become an obstetrician, and thought she was “grown.” Within a year she was pregnant and Jason was in prison, convicted of a carjacking and sentenced to twenty-two years. Overnight Keeonna had become a “mainline mama,” a parent facing the task of raising a child—while still growing up herself—with an incarcerated partner.  
In this triumphant memoir, Keeonna recalls her challenging journey as a mainline mama, from learning to overcome the exhausting difficulties of navigating the carceral system in the United States to transforming herself into an advocate for women like her—the predominantly Black and Brown women left behind to pick up the pieces of their families and fractured lives.  
Keeonna speaks frankly about the forces that threatened to defeat her, how she learned to re - build her broken relationship with a mother who had lost trust in her, and how time eased the shame, guilt, and stigma of being a young Black teen mom with a partner behind bars. She offers inspiration and solace, showing how to create moments of beauty, humanity, and love—such as picking the perfect wedding dress for a ceremony in a state prison visiting room—in a place de - signed to break spirits.  
Mainline Mama is about creating self-love and community—crucial acts of radical resistance against a prison industrial complex designed to dehumanize and to separate and shut away incarcerated individuals and their loved ones from the world.

Root Root Root for the Home...

Tom Dobrez

Grab your seat next to a super fan who stopped at nothing to enter his generation's premier Chicago sports events.
This is your chance to experience the city's most memorable sports moments, from the two Bears’ Super Bowls, the White Sox pennant clincher in Anaheim and their World Series winner in Houston to the Blackhawks Game 7 disappointment in 1971 and the traumatic overtime win in Philadelphia for their first of three Cups. But it’s not just title thrills; you are also there for the dozens of ‘almosts’ that cloud the Second City’s grand sports tradition.
But more than a sports story, ROOT, ROOT, ROOT FOR THE HOME TEAMS draws from the personal experiences of a faithful fan. It is a tale of growing up a Chicago sports fan. It turns out there is more to sports than who wins and loses. A loving tale of a father who raised his sons to understand what sports teach us about family and what success in life really looks like.
Root Root Root is a love story of family, friends, and Chicago sports. For more than six decades, Tom Dobrez has been in the arena for hundreds of sporting events, along with his share of brushes with greatness. Come along as he chases Muhammad Ali’s Rolls Royce through his suburban hometown. Take a late-night shift, play Pop-A-Shot with Scottie Pippen, play 18 holes of golf with Toni Kukoc, and get a champagne shower from Mark Buehrle.
There’s plenty of heartbreak and redemption along the way. He losses his father on the eve of the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup championship. He celebrates the memory of his brother at a Bears game and deals with the challenge of passing on his loyalty to his children despite his shortcomings as a youth sports coach.
With these and other moral dilemmas of parenting and growing up a Croatian in Chicago’s south suburbs, Dobrez weaves a raconteur’s storytelling skill with life lessons all gained from watching sports.
