Sinopse

Sallust's "History of Catiline's Conspiracy" presents a gripping narrative that investigates the political turmoil of late Roman Republic, focusing on the failed coup led by Lucius Sergius Catilina in 63 BCE. Written in a concise and vivid prose style characteristic of Sallust, the text employs a moral viewpoint deeply influenced by his belief in the decay of Roman values and the moral responsibilities of citizenship. Through detailed accounts and sharp characterizations, Sallust examines themes of ambition, corruption, and the struggle for power, offering a lens into a pivotal moment of betrayal and disillusionment that resonates with contemporary political discourse. Sallust, a Roman historian and politician from the late Republic era, faced the surplus of internal conflict and corruption firsthand, serving in various political capacities before retreating into writing. This personal engagement with the tumultuous events of his time, coupled with his philosophical inclinations, informed his historiography, allowing him to critique the Republic's decline while exploring the psychological motives behind political actions. His earlier works, influenced by the tension between personal ethics and public duty, set the stage for this incisive analysis of Catiline's conspiracy. For readers interested in political history and its complexities, Sallust's "History of Catiline's Conspiracy" offers an essential exploration of ambition and moral decay, illuminating not only a significant event in Roman history but also timeless insights into the human condition. This classic work serves as a crucial reference for understanding the intricate dance of power and ethics in governance, making it a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts of historical narratives.

    On how our feeling of equilibrium has characterized us as a country and will protect our future. 
    In the years that the creator served in the public parliament he came to figure out the extraordinary person of Australia; to see the value in its assets and shortcomings; and in particular to regard the feeling of equilibrium in the plan of public strategy that has long characterized us as a country and made Australia an appealing objective for individuals from across the world. 
    In this book he investigates this equilibrium, its establishments and its future. Composed against the background of the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as a portion of the more challenged political occasions of late years - the appointment of Donald Trump, the Brexit vote, the ascent of China, and, inside our own country, a merry go round of six heads of the state in eleven years - these reflections address how Australia has answered strain over the course of the past ten years or somewhere in the vicinity. Editorial regarding these matters from lawmakers, assessment scholars and web-based entertainment can at times appear to be deafening and disruptive. Australia's 25th and second longest serving head of the state has confidence that regardless of what difficulties and limits take steps to agitate our feeling of equilibrium, the nation's foundations and individuals will stay hearty for a significant length of time.

    Too Good to Be Altogether Lost -...

    Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the well-known Little House series, wrote stories from her childhood because they were "too good to be altogether lost." With the release of NBC's Little House on the Prairie series in 1974, Wilder was well on her way to becoming an international literary superstar. Simultaneously, however, the novels themselves began to slip from view, replaced by an onslaught of assumptions and questions about Wilder's values and politics and even about the books' authenticity. From the 1980s, a slow but steady critical crescendo began to erode Wilder's literary reputation. 
     
     
     
    In Too Good to Be Altogether Lost, Wilder expert Pamela Smith Hill dives back into the Little House books, closely examining Wilder's text, her characters, and their stories. Hill reveals that these gritty, emotionally complex novels depict a realistic coming of age for a girl in the American West. This realism in Wilder's novels, once perceived as a fatal flaw, can lead to essential discussions not only about the past but about the present—and the underlying racism young people encounter when reading today. Hill's fresh approach to Wilder's books shows how this author forever changed the literary landscape of children's and young adult literature in ways that remain vital and relevant today.
