Beschreibung

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.

Within these pages you’ll meet nearly 1000 women whose names deserve to be better known: from the Mothers of Invention and the trailblazing women at the Bar; warrior queens and pirate commanders; the women who dedicated their lives to the natural world or to medicine; those women of courage who resisted and fought for what they believed; to the unsung heroes of stage, screen and stadium.It is global, travelling the world and spanning all periods of time. It is also an intensely moving detective story of the author’s own family history as Kate Mosse pieces together the forgotten life of her great-grandmother, Lily Watson, a famous and highly-successful novelist in her day who has all but disappeared from the record . . .Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries is accessible, ambitious in its scope and fascinating in its detail.

    Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 - June 8, 1845) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the seventh president of the United States from 1829 to 1837. Before his presidency, he rose to fame as a general in the U.S. Army and served in both houses of the U.S. Congress. Jackson's legacy is controversial. He has been praised as an advocate for working Americans and preserving the union of states, and criticized for his racist policies, particularly towards Native Americans. His political philosophy became the basis for the Democratic Party. The following is a reading of President Polk's inaugural address on March 4, 1829.
