Sinopse

Thucydides' "Stories from Thucydides" presents a compelling narrative interwoven with political philosophy and historical analysis, focusing on the Peloponnesian War. Thucydides adopts a rigorous, analytical style that shuns mythological embellishments, aiming instead for an empirical account rooted in facts and eyewitness testimonies. The work stands as a cornerstone of historical writing, emphasizing the complexities of human nature, the causes of conflict, and the precarious balance of power. Through the lens of the war between Athens and Sparta, Thucydides explores themes such as ambition, morality, and the brutal realities of military engagement, offering a profound commentary on the cyclical nature of history and human folly. Thucydides, an Athenian historian and general, is often hailed as the father of scientific history for his critical approach to the past. His firsthand experiences in the war instilled in him a unique perspective that motivated him to document its events with unprecedented accuracy and depth. Living through a transformative era steeped in political turmoil and philosophical inquiry, Thucydides' grounding in the classical Greek tradition informs his focus on rational thought and ethics amidst chaos. This book is a must-read for historians, political scientists, and anyone intrigued by the intricate dynamics of power and conflict. "Stories from Thucydides" not only enriches our understanding of ancient Greece but also offers timeless insights into the nature of human behavior and the perpetual struggle for dominance in international relations, making it a relevant read for contemporary audiences.

    How has Florida's land changed across five centuries? What has stayed the same, and what remains only in memory? In Tracing Florida Journeys, Leslie Poole delves into the stories of well-known explorers and travelers who came to the peninsula and wrote about their experiences, looking at their words and the paths they took from the perspective of today. 
     
     
     
    In this book, John Muir and Harriet Beecher Stowe write about their visits to Florida, reflecting their expectations of a place that was touted to be "paradise." John James Audubon finds riches of bird life in the Keys. Zora Neale Hurston travels to turpentine camps and sawmills documenting the stories and music of workers and residents. Jonathan Dickinson and Stephen Crane recount shipwrecks along a sparsely populated coastline. 
     
     
     
    Using journals and articles by these and other authors that date back to the early European exploration of the region, Poole retraces their steps. The land they write about is often hard to imagine in today's Florida, a top destination for tourists filled with almost twenty-two million residents. These stories show the evolving history of the state and the richness of its natural resources. Poole's comparisons also point to the people who have been displaced and the ecosystems that have been dramatically altered by exploration and development.

    'Asked, "Who is the rich man?" Epictetus replied, "He who is content."'
    
    A stunning compilation of meditations, conversations and aphorisms from the renowned Stoic philosopher, Epictetus.
    
    Initially born into slavery, Epictetus knew first-hand the true meaning of suffering. He argued that it is impossible to control external events, and therefore we should work to accept what the future holds calmly and dispassionately. Some say his work is comparable to Socratic literature, particularly in his approach to self-examination and self-discipline: ultimately, he believed individuals were responsible for their own actions, which can be controlled though hard work and willpower. The Golden Sayings of Epictetus offer a selection of his most pertinent teachings which remain relevant to this very day. With countless lessons on life, love, faith, death and more – as profound as they are wise – this classic text can be returned to again and again. This audio edition is brought to life by the talented Malk Williams.
    Epictetus (50 – 135 AD) was a Greek philosopher and one of the main proponents of Stoicism. Born in Phrygia (now western Turkey), he moved to Rome once he regained his freedom, before being banished to Greece where he founded a school of philosophy. His teachings have influenced some of the greatest minds in history, including Marcus Aurelius, Pascal and Diderot amongst others.
