Theodor Mommsen

Sinopse

In "The History of Rome: From the Union of Italy to the Subjugation of Carthage and the Greek States," Theodor Mommsen presents a meticulously crafted narrative that chronicles the transformative events of the Roman Republic from the late 4th century BC to the Roman conquest of Carthage and the Greek territories. Mommsen's literary style is characterized by its vivid prose and analytical rigor, blending historical detail with engaging storytelling. The work is situated within the broader literary context of 19th-century historiography, where Mommsen's unique perspective illuminates the socio-political dynamics of ancient Rome, presenting a richly textured view of its rise and imperial ambitions. Theodor Mommsen, a German classical scholar and politician, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1902 for this very work, which reflects his deep engagement with Roman history and its lasting implications on Western civilization. His extensive studies in philology and archaeology informed his comprehensive approach to history, linking the political and military events of Rome with the cultural evolution of its society. Additionally, his commitment to civic duty and belief in progress may have influenced his interpretation of Rome as a model of governance and civilization. Readers seeking to deepen their understanding of Roman history will find Mommsen's work indispensable. With its scholarly depth and eloquent presentation, this book not only serves as a foundational text for aspiring historians but also appeals to general readers fascinated by the complexities of ancient Rome. Drawing from timeless historical insights, Mommsen's narrative invites reflection on the nature of power and its consequences, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the legacies that shape our modern world.

All Eternity Lies Before Me -...

Loreen Gibbons

A suspense-filled real-life drama perfect for veterans and fans of military dramas alike, the author interweaves her memories as a Navy pilot’s wife with the tale of what happened to her husband’s crew after having to ditch their crippled plane in stormy North Pacific waters during the Cold War. 
Alfa Foxtrot 586, a P-3 Orion turboprop, was conducting a sensitive Cold War mission off the Kamchatka Peninsula on October 26, 1978, when a propeller malfunction turned into four engine fires and the pilot—Loreen Grigsby’s husband, Jerry—was forced to ditch into remote, mountainous seas churned by a frigid North Pacific storm. The aircraft sank within ninety seconds, taking one of the three rafts with it—which left thirteen men to huddle together in the remaining two rafts, the smaller of which soon began to leak. 
Told from Loreen’s perspective as a navy wife at home as well as through the eyes of the men who survived the disaster, All Eternity Lies Before Me weaves a gripping tale of struggle, uncertainty, grief, and heroism. It shares Loreen’s terror as she receives notifications about her husband’s crew’s desperate battle against wind, seas, and biting cold. It details the ad hoc search and rescue mission, a valiant effort to rescue the men before time runs out. And, tragically, it tells how a young Navy wife becomes a widow and single mom. 
But Jerry’s death is not the end of Loreen’s story—and in the years following his loss, she discovers resilience, strength, and even new love with one of the accident survivors, Matt Gibbons. As she begins her journey toward a brighter future, she’s inspired by the camaraderie and brotherhood forged between the survivors and their rescuers—and ultimately, the long-term lessons learned by all involved become part of the lasting legacy of this event.
