Sinossi

The Collected Works presents an engrossing exploration of the intellectual and ethical dynamism of the Renaissance era, harmoniously juxtaposing the intricate reflections of William Roper with the thought-provoking legacies of Thomas More. This scholarly compendium draws together writings that traverse diverse literary terrains, from philosophical treatises to nuanced biographical sketches, encapsulating the fervent conversation between early modern humanism and religious devotion. Through an adept blend of styles—including rhetorical prose and incisive argumentation—this anthology transcends the mere historical, offering insights into enduring questions of morality, governance, and human nature. William Roper and Thomas More embody the vital confluence of biographical close-up and broader cultural critique, with their works serving as a prism through which the temperaments of their age come alive. Roper, More's son-in-law, offers a perspective enriched by personal insight, chronicling More's life with critical empathy and intimate detail. In concert, the collection embraces the vibrant discourse of the Renaissance, rendering visible connections to timeless themes such as justice, conscience, and resistance. These complementary voices collectively honor the spirit of inquiry and valorize the courage of upholding one's principles in the face of societal pressures. This anthology is a must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of Renaissance thought, offering a rare opportunity to engage with the eloquent dialogues between two profound minds. It not only furnishes an educational tapestry of historical insights but also fosters a space for reflection upon the moral challenges that remain relevant today. Readers will find The Collected Works indispensable for its breadth of perspective, inviting them to traverse and appreciate the multifaceted narratives that illuminate the intersection of personal and political, past and present.

    ""General Malik's book...stands out as perhaps the most valuable 
    contribution to our military literature since Independence."" 
    -The Tribune 
    ""Malik deserves credit for a frank and refreshing analysis of the 
    first limited war fought by two nuclear powered states. His theory 
    about the possibilities of further conflict would go a long way in 
    shaping India's military strategy."" 
    -The Telegraph 
    ""General Malik's account...is comprehensive, straight from the 
    shoulder and interesting to a range of readers.... This...volume 
    will certainly be a reference point, not just in discussions on the 
    Kargil conflict, but also in the way the Indian army perceives vital 
    issues like nuclear deterrence."" 
    -Business Standard 
    In February 1999, Pakistani Army personnel, disguised as jihadi militants, infiltrated into mountainous Kargil and occupied key vantage points. Their intrusion triggered a limited war between the world's newest nuclear states. It was a bitter battle, and one that threw up important lessons for India's defence preparedness, as also its responses to conflicts such as this. This incisive book by General V.P. Malik, former Chief of the Army Staff, analyses the reasoning behind the Pakistani Army's moves and tactics and reviews crucial issues such as the extent of intelligence and surveillance failure on the Indian side and the measures necessary to redress these failings. Away from questions of strategy and tactics, however, Kargil is also a reminder of the unalloyed heroism that was on display during those grim weeks, heroism that become a benchmark for valour.

  • Demosthenes 354-324BCE - History's Greatest Orator - cover

    Demosthenes 354-324BCE -...

    Demosthenes, Dinarchus

    Demosthenes is generally acknowledged as the greatest orator in history. He overcame a stammer and the theft of his inheritance by his legal guardians to become as foundational to oratory as his contemporaries Plato and Aristotle are to philosophy. 
    Much like a major contemporary political figure, he overcame a stammer on his journey to greatness, with “inarticulate and stammering pronunciation.” He was known as “a water drinker”; a stern and serious presence at all times. 
    His great battle was against the waning of Athenian democracy, which slowly disintegrated into oligarchy and treason over his lifetime. As a legislator, ambassador, and leader he fought against the inexorable rise of Philip of Macedon and, later, Philip’s son Alexander. Fighting for the peace, democracy and equality that Athenian ancestors brought to all Greece, his tale ends in ruin as Athens finally falls, after more than thirty years trying to hold the line. 
     In historical terms, many of the patterns, descriptions and arguments presented here will seem eerily familiar, like listening to Songs In The Key Of Life for the first time. Every part of it has been reused a thousand times by people ever since its creation, so you are intimately familiar with the style, even if you have never come across it before. 
    After a prestigious career of public service, the tide turned against him. An accusation of bribery leads to his most famous speech, On The Crown. This defense of his career as the tides turned against him has been described as “the greatest speech of the greatest orator in the world.” 
    After his conviction, he escaped from prison and went on the run. He was exiled,  brought back, then sentenced to death; eventually, fleeing the city again, this time to the island of Kalaureia (modern-day Poros). Discovered by Archias, he asked for time to write a letter to his family, and took poison from a reed.

    The Ultimate Quest by Dr. Antonio Mataban is an epic historical fiction that spans five generations, beginning at the tail end of the Spanish colonial era in the Philippines. Dr. Mataban's narrative sweeps through time, immersing readers in the lives of characters whose personal journeys intertwine with the shifting tides of history, offering a rich tapestry of culture, struggle, and triumph. 
     
    Set against the backdrop of a nation in transition, the novel masterfully captures the intricacies of Filipino identity, societal change, and the impact of historical events. From the waning days of Spanish rule to the complex, post-colonial era, Dr. Mataban deftly explores the personal and political conflicts that shaped the Philippines' evolution. His portrayal of the era is vivid, grounding the characters' experiences in real historical events, yet the author also crafts a compelling fictional narrative that keeps readers invested in the human side of history. 
     
    The book's structure, spanning five generations, provides a panoramic view of the impact of time on individuals and families. Each character is deeply developed, their lives shaped not only by their personal desires but also by the political and social forces at play. This generational scope allows Dr. Mataban to explore the long-term effects of colonialism, revolution, and independence, showing how history is passed down through families and how the scars of the past continue to influence the future. 
     
    One of the standout aspects of The Ultimate Quest is Dr. Mataban's ability to blend historical facts with compelling storytelling. The attention to historical detail is impressive, and the author's research shines through, adding depth to the plot without overwhelming the reader with unnecessary exposition.
