Sinopsis

Written in a moment of personal exile and political disillusion, Dialogues is one of Seneca’s most profound explorations of the human condition. Through a series of philosophical essays addressed to friends and pupils, Seneca reflects on anger, grief, happiness, the brevity of life, and the pursuit of inner freedom. Rooted in Stoic thought yet strikingly modern in tone, these texts confront the anxieties of power, ambition, and suffering with lucid reasoning and moral clarity. Seneca does not offer abstract theory, but practical wisdom: philosophy as a guide for living, meant to strengthen the soul against fortune and fear. More than nineteen centuries after they were written, the Dialogues remain a compelling invitation to self-examination, moderation, and resilience. They speak to anyone seeking calm in uncertainty, dignity in adversity, and a life governed by reason rather than impulse. A cornerstone of Stoic philosophy and a timeless companion for readers in every age.Lucius Annaeus Seneca (c. 4 BCE – 65 CE) was a Roman philosopher, statesman, and playwright, and one of the leading figures of Stoic philosophy. Born in Corduba (modern Córdoba, Spain), he was educated in Rome and became a prominent intellectual and political figure under the Roman Empire. As tutor and later advisor to Emperor Nero, Seneca lived at the center of power while advocating reason, self-control, and moral integrity. His philosophical works—especially the Dialogues and Letters to Lucilius—combine rigorous Stoic thought with practical guidance on how to face suffering, anger, wealth, and death. Forced to commit suicide after being implicated in a political conspiracy, Seneca died as he had lived: with composure and philosophical resolve. His writings remain among the most influential and accessible texts of ancient philosophy.

    It was the right thing to do. And someone had to do it. 
    Aziz was more than an interpreter for Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux during Chad's eight deployments to Afghanistan. He was a teammate, brother, and friend. More than once, Aziz saved Chad's life. And then he needed Chad to save his. 
    When President Joe Biden announced in April 2021 that the United States would be making a hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, Robichaux knew he had to get Aziz and his family out before Taliban forces took over the country. As the rescue team began to go to work, they became aware of thousands more--US citizens, Afghan allies, women, and children--facing persecution. 
    This gripping account of two war heroes and friends puts human hearts and names alongside the headlines of one of the most harrowing moments in our history, giving you a closer look at:The resilience of Afghanistan and its peopleThe twenty-year war that took place under four presidentsA mission accomplished and the work that’s still to be done 
      
    Saving Aziz is more than a story of war and rescue: it's about breaking down prejudice and apathy--and why risking it all is worth it when it comes to loving one another. 
      
    Praise for Saving Aziz: 
    "Saving Aziz is the story of two warriors...brought together by war and a brotherhood forged through years of battling...for the cause of freedom and captures the heroic efforts of those who took action to not only rescue Aziz and his family in the US withdrawal but thousands of others." 
    --Tim Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author, US Army Special Forces, Sniper

    In the chapter “Calls,” Amy and Jo decide to make some social calls, a common custom among well-bred young ladies of their time. Amy, who enjoys proper manners and society, convinces Jo to accompany her, even though Jo finds such formalities dull and pretentious. Throughout the afternoon, Amy’s social grace and tact contrast sharply with Jo’s blunt honesty and impatience with convention. Amy enjoys the ritual of polite society, while Jo realizes that she prefers sincerity and simplicity to artificial manners. Join Emily and Niina when they dissect chapter Calls, and talk about various things, such as Amy's fondness towards the aristocracy, Jo's difficulties in taking compliments and also the last part of the chapter, where we get the explanation why Jo did not get to go to Europe with Aunt March.

    The idea of sexual fluidity may seem new, but it is at least as old as the ancient Greeks, who wrote about queer experiences with remarkable frankness, wit, and insight. How to Be Queer is an infatuating collection of these writings about desire, love, and lust between men, between women, and between humans and gods, in lucid and lively new translations. 
     
     
     
    How to Be Queer starts with Homer's Iliad and moves through lyric poetry, tragedy, comedy, philosophy, and biography, drawing on a wide range of authors, including Sappho, Plato, Anacreon, Pindar, Theognis, Aristophanes, and Xenophon. It features both beautiful poetry and thought-provoking prose, emotional outpourings and humorous anecdotes. From Homer's story of the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, one of the most intense between men in world literature, to Sappho's lyrics on the pleasures and pains of loving women, these writings show the many meanings of what the Greeks called eros. 
     
     
     
    Complete with brief introductions to the selections, How to Be Queer reveals what the Greeks knew long ago—that the erotic and queer are a source of life and a cause for celebration.

    What Color Is Your Parachute? meets I Will Teach You To Be Rich for twentysomethings. Raffi Grinberg, who created and taught the ever-oversubscribed college course "Adulting 101," offers a practical guide to adult life's greatest mysteries that were never taught in school, including how to launch your career, find your purpose (for right now), invest your money, and much more. 
     
     
     
    Though twenty- and thirty-somethings are better educated than ever before, essentially none of the topics critical to being a full-fledged adult—such as how to get a new job, create a budget, file your taxes, face rejection, and navigate family dynamics—are covered in lower or higher education. Fortunately, here is a book that does just that. 
     
     
     
    From entrepreneur Raffi Grinberg, who lived and learned the hard way throughout his twenties, here is a crash course in everything you need to know to be a grown up. Based on his wildly popular "Adulting 101" course at Boston College, Grinberg firmly steers you through the basics of being a grown up using interactive chapters, bite-size nuggets of wisdom, humor, and stories from his twenties, including nearly going broke, having bad credit, disappointing his parents, and much more. As Raffi tells his students, "I want you to have a quarter-life crisis now so that you won't have a mid-life crisis later."
