Beschreibung

The complete edition of Theodor Mommsen's "The History of Rome" spans five volumes and offers a comprehensive exploration of Roman civilization from its foundational myths to the fall of the Western Empire. Mommsen employs a narrative style combining rigorous scholarship with vivid storytelling, allowing readers to engage deeply with both the political machinations and cultural developments of ancient Rome. The work is notable for its systematic approach and critical analysis, representing a milestone in historical writing and reflecting the influence of 19th-century positivism, which emphasized empirical evidence in historical inquiry. Mommsen, a German historian, philologist, and politician, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1902 for his exceptional contributions to the field of history. His passion for the Roman world stemmed from a profound interest in classical studies and a desire to connect the past with contemporary issues in governance and society, which is evident in his meticulous examination of Roman political institutions. This monumental work is essential for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of one of history's greatest civilizations.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Lessons From Nature: Finding Wisdom in the World Around Us is a collaboration between photographer Wadih Moussa and psychologist Dr. Valeria Ecaterina Purcia, blending the quiet beauty of nature with the clarity of psychological insight. 
In the audiobook edition, each chapter begins with a brief description of a photograph—a still moment captured in nature—followed by a reflection on the life lesson it holds: the diligence of a bee, the endurance of a tree, the contentment of a bird. These stories invite the listener to slow down, pay attention, and discover how nature mirrors the values that ground and sustain us. 
Adding depth to each chapter, Dr. Purcia draws on her experience as a psychologist, educator, and author to explore the emotional and mental dimensions of these natural lessons. Her contributions turn each entry into a practical meditation on resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth. 
This audiobook is both contemplative and usable. It speaks to those who crave meaning in a noisy world, who want to reconnect with themselves, and who believe that nature still has something to teach us if we’re willing to listen. 
Whether drawn by the imagery, the life lessons, or the psychological reflections, listeners will find here a quiet space for renewal. A place to pause. A path back to balance.

Monks and Bishops - Lismore...

Robert Hay

The Isle of Lismore has a long reputation as a holy island, beginning with the foundation of a monastery by St Moluag in the sixth century, when it became a major centre of Christianity. The Roman Catholic Bishopric of Argyll was founded on Lismore in 1200, and the medieval Cathedral Church of St Moluag was completed in 1400, the choir of which forms the basis of the present-day parish church.
Robert Hay tells the story of Moluag's monastery, recently rediscovered by community archaeology, before exploring the rise and fall of the Bishopric of Argyll: the roles of the bishops; the years of prestige when leading families invested in elaborately carved graveslabs; the lean years when finances were strained; the struggles through decades of war, civil unrest, despoliation, famine and plague; and the final withdrawal of the bishop from Lismore to Dunoon in the mid fifteenth century. Even at the physical fringes of Scotland and Europe, the diocese was deeply affected by events on the national and international scene, with a major impact on this site of an unbroken tradition of Christian worship.
