Sinopsis

In 'Yale Required Reading - Collected Works (Vol. 1),' readers are invited to immerse themselves in an anthology that draws from a rich tapestry of ancient thinking and literary artistry. This collection showcases a breathtaking range of styles and genres, from the sweeping epics and poignant dramas to the penetrating philosophical discourses, all reflecting the dynamism of classical antiquity. The diversity within these works underscores a universe of human experience and intellectual pursuit, moving seamlessly between the theatrical grandeur of Attic tragedy and the meticulous detail of historical accounts. Each piece presents a distinct yet interconnected narrative that affords new insights into the ancient world's profound discussions on morality, politics, and the human condition. The anthology gathers luminaries such as Aristotle, Plato, Euripides, and more, each contributing a distinct voice to align with the towering intellectual and cultural paradigms of their time. Their collective oeuvre reflects the profound influence of key historical and literary movements, cultivating a dialogue that traverses the boundaries of epistemology, poetics, and pedagogy. This collection not only foregrounds the diversity of thought prevalent in antiquity but also emphasizes the enduring legacy of these thinkers, contextualizing their relevance to contemporary discourse. 'Required Reading' offers a remarkably comprehensive exploration of classical literature, serving both as an essential educational resource and an engaging compendium for those seeking a multifaceted understanding of ancient perspectives. It invites readers to explore the foundational texts that have shaped Western thought and encourages a reconsideration of perennial questions through the diverse lenses of celebrated intellectuals and dramatists. This volume represents a unique intersection of intellectual exploration and aesthetic appreciation, providing invaluable insights into the myriad complexities of the classical era.

    For two hundred years, British slave ships plied in the Middle Passage, taking African men, women, and children to their doom. Ending slavery in the mighty British Empire seemed like an impossible dream, but once William Wilberforce resolved to represent the abolitionists in Parliament, he would fight to the bitter end - for nearly half a century - to achieve that goal. Together with a community of dynamic reformers, Wilberforce struggled to rid his nation of evil and to give dignity and freedom to all people - slave and slave trader, poor and powerful. His example continues to inspire others to use their gifts and influence to do good against the odds.

    Based on the hit BBC 5Live podcast series, The Trillion Dollar Conman is an audacious tale of an international fraud that is stranger than fiction.
    
    In 2009, Notts County FC were on the brink of bankruptcy when they were taken over by a mysterious company supposedly backed by the Bahraini royal family. The club was promised millions of pounds worth of investment and a list of marquee players, including Sol Campbell and Kasper Schmeichel were signed, in a recruitment drive led by former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson, who was appointed to take the club all the way to the Premier League.
    
    However, within weeks, as the bills began to pile up, the dream came tumbling down as it transpired that the club, the players and the fans had been tricked by a convicted fraudster called Russell King.
    
    The world's oldest professional football club found itself at the centre of one of the most outlandish frauds in sporting and world history, which spanned the globe from Nottingham to North Korea, involving fake sheikhs, fast cars, broken promises and a trail of destruction.

    In 1945 Tom Pocock travelled widely and saw the final collapse of the German armies; the horror of concentration camps and destroyed cities; retribution reaching war criminals; and the unpredictable strangers from the east, the Red Army. In Berlin, he climbed through the ruins of Hitler's Chancellery. In Vienna, he roistered with the Russians only to be arrested by them on a trip to Budapest. By the end of the year, he had paid his first visit to the El Dorado of that now distant world, New York, the glittering, happy, prosperous, democratic center of hopes and affections of the Western World. 
     
     
     
    Here indeed is the very form and pressure of the time: the awful stench of death and wholesale destruction; the casual murders and cruelties where over large tracts of territory law and order had collapsed; worst of all, the concentration camps still peopled by the ghosts of human beings, starved, tortured, terrified, and degraded. 
     
     
     
    Tom Pocock's friends had served and died in the war from which he himself had been invalided, but when Hitler was defeated, he shared their feelings of exultation and relief. He was in London for VE Day and his account of it is not easily forgotten.
