Carthagian Empire - Hannibal...

Rolf Hedger

Carthage emerged as one of the most powerful cities of the ancient world, a beacon of wealth, trade, and military strength. Located on the coast of modern-day Tunisia, it was founded by Phoenician settlers from the city of Tyre around the ninth century BCE. These settlers, skilled in navigation and commerce, established Carthage as a strategic hub that would eventually dominate Mediterranean trade. 
From its earliest days, Carthage thrived on its ability to control maritime routes and forge strong economic connections across North Africa, Iberia, and the islands of the western Mediterranean. Unlike many other ancient powers that relied on agriculture and territorial conquest, Carthage built its strength through commerce. It became the heart of a vast trade network that stretched from the shores of the Middle East to the Atlantic coast of Africa, exchanging goods such as silver, tin, spices, and textiles. 
The city itself reflected its growing influence. Carthaginian engineers designed an impressive harbor that could shelter hundreds of ships, a crucial asset for a state whose power depended on naval supremacy. This naval dominance allowed Carthage to project its influence far beyond its immediate borders, securing colonies and trading posts in places such as Sicily.

Last Great Indian Kingdoms -...

Rolf Hedger

As foreign invasions and internal struggles reshaped India’s political landscape, a few powerful kingdoms stood as the last great defenders of Indian sovereignty before their eventual decline.  
The Pala Empire, the Vijayanagara Empire, and the Chola Empire were among the most influential dynasties, each leaving a lasting impact on Indian culture, politics, and military strategy.  
The Pala Empire, known for its strong Buddhist patronage, was one of the last major bastions of Buddhism in India, promoting education through institutions like Nalanda. The Chola Empire, a dominant force in South India, built a vast maritime network, expanded its influence to Southeast Asia, and created architectural marvels such as the Brihadeeswarar Temple.  
The Vijayanagara Empire, founded as a Hindu stronghold against Islamic expansion, became a beacon of art, culture, and military resilience, with its capital, Hampi, standing as a testament to its grandeur.  
Despite their military strength and cultural achievements, these kingdoms eventually fell to foreign invasions and internal strife, marking the end of an era in Indian history.

Notes from an Island

Tove Jansson, Alexander Chee

From a renowned artist and writer, a deeply personal nature journal that includes sketches from her romantic partner, artist Tuulikki “Tooti” Pietilä. In the bitter winds of autumn 1963, Tove Jansson, helped by Brunström, a maverick fisherman, raced to build a cabin on a treeless island in the Gulf of Finland. The island was Klovharun, where for thirty summers Tove and her beloved partner, the visual artist, Tuulikki “Tooti” Pietilä, lived, painted, and wrote, energized by the solitude and shifting seascapes. The island's flora, fauna, and weather patterns provided deep inspiration which can be seen reflected in all of Jansson's work, most famously in her bestselling novel The Summer Book and her longstanding comic strip and novels for children, Moomin. Tove's signature spare, quirky prose, and Tooti's subtle ink washes and aquatints combine to form a work of meditative beauty, a chronicle of living peacefully in nature and observing the island’s ecology and character. Notes from an Island is both a work of artistic collaboration and an homage to the deep love the two women shared. One feels as if Jansson’s journal, with Tooti’s sketches tucked inside, has been unearthed like a treasure from under a pile of old quilts in the back of their rustic cabin.Includes a companion PDF of images from the print edition.
