Sinopsis

In *Germania*, Tacitus presents a comprehensive ethnographic account of the various tribes inhabiting the regions beyond the Roman Empire, primarily the Germanic peoples. The work is characterized by a concise and straightforward literary style, blending observations with historical commentary. Tacitus utilizes a comparative approach, contrasting the virtues of these tribes with the perceived decadence of Roman society, thereby offering both a celebration of the 'noble savage' ideal and a critique of contemporary Roman life. The text is situated within the context of imperial power dynamics, illustrating the complexities of Roman identity in relation to the barbarian 'other.' Tacitus, a senator and historian of the Roman Empire, drew on his extensive knowledge of Roman military campaigns and administrative governance to articulate his observations in *Germania*. His background, having witnessed the cultural turmoil during the early imperial period, fueled his desire to explore and document the distinct customs, laws, and social structures of the tribes. Tacitus's immersion in Roman society allowed him to adopt a critical lens, exploring themes of morality, freedom, and civilization in his works, with *Germania* being a key reflection of these preoccupations. For readers intrigued by cultural history, *Germania* is an essential text that transcends mere historical documentation. It invites reflection on identity, governance, and the human condition through its rich characterization of tribal life. Scholars and enthusiasts alike will find Tacitus's blend of observation and critique both timely and timeless, making this work a vital addition to any collection engaged with the ancient world and its lasting legacy.

    “Fromm’s developing thought merits the critical attention of all concerned with the human condition and its future.” —The Washington Post The essays in this fascinating volume examine present-day psychological and cultural problems with the keen insight and humanistic sympathies characteristic of Erich Fromm’s work.The Dogma of Christ provides some of the sharpest critical insights into how the contemporary world of human destructiveness and violence can no longer separate religion, psychology, and politics. The book brilliantly summarizes Fromm’s ideas on how culture and society shape our behavior. “It’s the new post-religious theme song. The Fromm exhortations are imaginative and he has a definite audience.” —Kirkus Reviews “Of all the psychological theorists who have tried to formulate a system better than Freud’s to approach problems of contemporary life, no one has been more creative or influential than Erich Fromm. He is the most articulate advocate on the role of social forces in molding our character and on our manner of relating to others. This volume is an expansion of his systematic doctrine.” —Louis L. Lunsky, MD, Archives of Internal Medicine

    On September 17, 1787, at the State House in Philadelphia, thirty-nine men from twelve states, after months of often bitter debate, signed America's Constitution. Yet very few of the delegates, at the start, had had any intention of creating a nation that would last. Most were driven more by pragmatic, regional interests than by idealistic vision. Many were meeting for the first time, others after years of contention, and the inevitable clash of personalities would be as intense as the advocacy of ideas or ideals. No issue was of greater concern to the delegates than that of slavery. 
     
     
     
    Lawrence Goldstone chronicles the forging of the Constitution through the prism of the crucial compromises made by men consumed with the needs of the slave economy. As the daily debates and backroom conferences in inns and taverns stretched through July and August of that hot summer—and as the philosophical leadership of James Madison waned—Goldstone clearly reveals how tenuous the document was, and how an agreement between unlikely collaborators—John Rutledge of South Carolina, and Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut—got the delegates past their most difficult point. Dark Bargain recounts an event as dramatic and compelling as any in our nation's history . . .
