  With an “inimitable voice combined with flawless erudition,” this new analysis of the Aeneid “illuminates its subject with a modern light” (Le Monde). 
   
  From the bestselling author of The Ingenious Language comes a meditation on rebuilding, recovery, and renewal that is also a fascinating portrait of antiquity’s most complex and surprisingly modern hero. 
   
  In times of peace and prosperity, one can turn to Homer to learn valuable life lessons, to experience the thrills and terrors of war, and to read about hair-raising adventures in distant lands. But when things do not go as planned, when we unexpectedly find ourselves at the center of an epoch-defining upheaval, then, writes Andrea Marcolongo, we must look to Virgil’s Aeneas for an example of adaptability and resilience. 
   
  In Marcolongo’s fresh, nuanced portrayal, Virgil’s Aeneas emerges as a multiform, deeply human hero, striking in his vulnerability and capacity for empathy. His journey of rebirth and rebuilding, from the ruins of Troy to the shores of Italy, teaches us that when all seems lost, with hope, perseverance, and a little bit of luck, we can seek and find new beginnings. 
   
  “Marcolongo is today’s Montaigne . . . There is wisdom and grace here to last the ages.” —André Aciman, New York Times–bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name, now a major motion picture 
   
  “A deep look at our all-too-human fragility . . . An impassioned and enthralling book.” —Bon Culture (Italy) 
   
  “Through her personal reacquaintance with [the Aeneid] at a time of great distress, Andrea Marcolongo has brought it, as it were, back into the conversation and outside the confines of academia . . . An excellent translation by Will Schutt brilliantly serves Andrea Marcolongo’s passionate endorsement of a work of literature written two millennia ago.” —Reading in Translation 
   
  “Andrea Marcolongo has brought us a book from the future.” —La Stampa (Italy)

  Loneliness - Finding Connection...

  In an age where technology provides countless ways to connect with others, it’s paradoxical that many people are more isolated and lonely than ever. The proliferation of social media platforms, instant messaging apps, and virtual communities should, in theory, make us feel more connected. However, the opposite has often proven to be true. Instead of fostering genuine relationships, these digital connections can leave us feeling empty, misunderstood, and yearning for deeper, more authentic interactions. This phenomenon is what I call the paradox of loneliness—where the very tools designed to bring us closer together end up magnifying our sense of isolation.  
   Loneliness is not just about being physically alone; it is a state of mind that reflects our emotional and psychological distance from others, and sometimes even from ourselves. We may feel lonely in a crowded room, or while scrolling through endless updates from friends and family. This paradox has a profound impact on our well-being, raising important questions: Why do we feel so disconnected in a world that’s seemingly more connected than ever? How did we arrive at this point? What can be done to bridge the gap between our yearning for connection and the realities of modern life?

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Behind the polished image of multinational corporations lies an intricate web of influence that often escapes public scrutiny. These entities, driven by profit motives, exert significant control over political, economic, and social systems. Their ability to shape legislation, influence policy decisions, and dictate the trajectory of societal norms is unparalleled, raising critical questions about the balance of power in modern democracies. 
  One of the most potent tools corporations wield is lobbying. What began as a mechanism to convey industry perspectives to lawmakers has evolved into a powerful industry in itself. Corporations spend billions annually to hire lobbying firms, fund political campaigns, and ensure their interests are prioritized in policymaking. This relationship often leads to regulatory environments that favor corporate profits over public welfare, as evidenced by weakened labor protections, diluted environmental standards, and tax policies designed to benefit the wealthiest. 
  In addition to lobbying, corporations exert influence through their economic might. With massive revenues that surpass the GDP of some nations, they can dictate terms to governments and international organizations. This financial clout allows them to negotiate favorable trade agreements, secure tax incentives, and sidestep accountability for unethical practices. Governments, often reliant on corporate investment to sustain their economies, find themselves constrained in challenging this power dynamic.

  Gettysburg and Vicksburg: The...

  Without question, the most famous battle of the American Civil War took place outside of the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which happened to be a transportation hub, serving as the center of a wheel with several roads leading out to other Pennsylvanian towns. From July 1-3, Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia tried everything in its power to decisively defeat George Meade’s Union Army of the Potomac, unleashing ferocious assaults that inflicted nearly 50,000 casualties in all.  
  	Day 1 of the battle would have been one of the 25 biggest battles of the Civil War itself, and it ended with a tactical Confederate victory. But over the next two days, Lee would try and fail to dislodge the Union army with attacks on both of its flanks during the second day and Pickett’s Charge on the third and final day. Meade’s stout defense held, barely, repulsing each attempted assault, handing the Union a desperately needed victory that ended up being one of the Civil War’s turning points.  
  	The Confederates had lost control of several important states throughout 1862, and after New Orleans was taken by the Union, the North controlled almost all of the Mississippi River, which Confederate general James Longstreet called “the lungs of the Confederacy”. By taking control of that vital river, the North would virtually cut the Confederacy in two, putting the South in a dire situation.  
  The only domino left to fall was the stronghold of Vicksburg, and both sides knew it. The Union Army of the Tennessee, led by Ulysses S. Grant, would spend months trying to encircle the army and eventually force John Pemberton’s Confederate army to surrender. Grant eventually succeeded on July 4, 1863, but since it came a day after the climactic finish of the Battle of Gettysburg, Vicksburg was (and still is) frequently overlooked as one of the turning points of the Civil War.
