Sinopse

In 'The Life of Cesare Borgia', Rafael Sabatini crafts a compelling narrative that juxtaposes historical fact with rich storytelling, inviting readers into the tumultuous world of Renaissance Italy. Sabatini employs a vivid prose style, interweaving intricate details of Borgia's political strategies, personal ambitions, and the tumult of his era, breathing life into the historical figure often overshadowed by infamy. This work stands within the tradition of biographical literature, yet transcends mere chronology to explore themes of power, ambition, and moral complexity, engaging the reader with its dramatic flair and thorough research. Rafael Sabatini, a celebrated author known for his swashbuckling tales, possesses a profound interest in historical figures and their narratives. His own Italian heritage and deep-seated fascination with the Renaissance undoubtedly influenced his portrayal of Cesare Borgia, a man who embodied both the ideals and the contradictions of his time. Sabatini's intimate knowledge of the historical milieu allows him to present a balanced account, marrying critical analysis with an engaging storytelling technique that characterizes much of his oeuvre. Readers who relish historical biography steeped in drama and intrigue will find 'The Life of Cesare Borgia' to be an enlightening and captivating exploration. This work not only illuminates Borgia's life but also offers insights into the broader socio-political landscape of the Renaissance. It is a must-read for enthusiasts of history and literature alike.

  • No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies - A Lyric Essay - cover

    No Country for Eight-Spot...

    Part memoir, part manifesto, Chamorro climate activist Julian Aguon's No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies is a coming-of-age story and a call for justice—for everyone, but in particular, for Indigenous peoples. 
     
     
     
    In bracing poetry and compelling prose, Aguon weaves together stories from his childhood in the villages of Guam with searing political commentary about matters ranging from nuclear weapons to global warming. Undertaking the work of bearing witness, wrestling with the most pressing questions of the modern day, and reckoning with the challenge of truth-telling in an era of rampant obfuscation, he culls from his own life experiences—from losing his father to pancreatic cancer to working for Mother Teresa to an edifying chance encounter with Sherman Alexie—to illuminate a collective path out of the darkness. 
     
     
     
    A powerful, bold, new voice writing at the intersection of Indigenous rights and environmental justice, Julian Aguon is entrenched in the struggles of the people of the Pacific to liberate themselves from colonial rule, defend their sacred sites, and obtain justice for generations of harm. In No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies, Aguon shares his wisdom and reflections on love, grief, joy, and triumph and extends an offer to join him in a hard-earned hope for a better world.

    "How is it possible to recover and love the world again when you have lived through the worst? "On the night of September 5, 1990, my two children, Lucie and Sylvain, were murdered by their own father. Faced with such a tragedy, I could have killed myself, but I chose life. Like many mothers, I believed that I could never live without my children. And yet... today, I am no longer ashamed to be alive. Surviving hell is possible.
    "There is not a word in the dictionary that is good enough to define the nothingness in which I and my family found ourselves."
    "To fill this gap, I decided to write my story.  How can you survive the death of your children? I hope that my testimony will help you, dear reader, to understand the pain of the victims and perhaps one day to overcome it."
    In this extraordinary story, of rare humanity, Patricia Oddo finds the strength to live for her children, to fall in love, to be a mother again, to speak without taboo about this tragedy that struck her children, and to mourn this tragedy thirty years later.

    Kierkegaard - Existentialism and...

    Søren Kierkegaard, often regarded as the father of existentialism, was born on May 5, 1813, in Copenhagen, Denmark. His early life was marked by tragedy, as his mother died when he was just a child, and his father, a deeply religious man, instilled in him a sense of guilt and the weight of existential questioning. Kierkegaard’s relationship with his father deeply influenced his philosophical development, particularly in his exploration of faith, despair, and the individual's relationship with God. 
    Kierkegaard’s intellectual journey began at the University of Copenhagen, where he studied theology and philosophy. He was deeply influenced by the works of philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Hegel, yet he sought to diverge from the systematic and rational approaches of these thinkers. Instead, he focused on the subjective aspects of human experience, emphasizing personal choice, individual responsibility, and the need for authentic existence. Kierkegaard believed that philosophy should not merely be an abstract pursuit but should directly address the real, lived experiences of individuals. 
    One of Kierkegaard's most significant contributions to philosophy was his critique of the established norms of society and religion. He believed that individuals often live in a state of "inauthenticity," blindly following social conventions and doctrines without truly reflecting on their own beliefs. For Kierkegaard, true existence could only be achieved through the individual’s leap of faith—an existential act that transcends reason and embraces the paradoxical nature of human life.
