  The Legends of King Arthur -...

  The legend of King Arthur is one of the most enduring and captivating myths in Western history. For centuries, stories of the noble king, his valiant knights, and the magical forces surrounding them have fascinated people across generations. Arthurian legends have been retold through medieval manuscripts, romantic poetry, and modern films, each version reshaping the myth to fit its time. But who was King Arthur? Was he a real historical figure, or merely a creation of folklore? The answer remains elusive, yet the legend continues to hold a profound place in literature and culture.  
    
  The origins of the Arthurian legend are shrouded in mystery. Early references to Arthur can be traced back to medieval Welsh poetry and the historical writings of figures like Geoffrey of Monmouth, who played a crucial role in shaping Arthur’s story. Some believe Arthur was inspired by a real warrior who fought against invading Saxons in the early Middle Ages. Others argue that Arthur was never a historical figure at all but rather a symbol of ideal kingship, created to embody the virtues of courage, wisdom, and justice. Regardless of his origins, the myth of Arthur evolved over time, blending history with fantasy.  
    
  One of the defining elements of the Arthurian legend is the concept of chivalry. The stories of Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table emphasize honor, loyalty, and the pursuit of noble causes. These ideals were deeply rooted in the medieval code of conduct, influencing literature and knightly behavior for centuries. The knights’ quests, whether for justice or for the Holy Grail, reflect themes of personal growth, sacrifice, and moral integrity. The concept of Camelot, a utopian kingdom where justice prevails and the weak are protected, continues to inspire stories of heroism and idealism.

  Mill's On Liberty

  John Stuart Mill

  • 0

  Mill's thinking about freedom in civic and social life examines fundamental principles shared among conservative, liberal, and radical politicians. The life of true philosophy stands outside the political battles that are rampant in society and seeks the political wisdom that is necessary for a good life in any age. Mill's philosophical presentation and analysis of those principles stand alongside the reflections of Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
   
  When the officials of any government seek to change the laws that regulate individual liberty or when rhetoricians seek to change public opinion about what individuals should or should not be allowed to say or do, Mill's On Liberty serves as an effective antidote to the poisons of excessive intrusion into the lives of individuals. The present edition is specifically designed to employ the dual nature of rhetoric — oral and written language — and to utilize electronic technology to open Mill's text to contemporary listeners as well as readers.

  The Lost World of Byzantium

  The acclaimed author of Byzantium and the Crusades "offers a fresh take on this fabled but hidden civilization" across eleven centuries of history (Colin Wells). 
   
   
    
  For more than a millennium, the Byzantine Empire presided over the juncture between East and West, as well as the transition from the classical to the modern world. Rather than recounting the standard chronology of emperors and battles, leading Byzantium scholar Jonathan Harris focuses on a succession of archetypal figures, families, places, and events. 
   
   
    
  Harris's introduction presents a civilization rich in contrasts, combining orthodox Christianity with paganism, and classical Greek learning with Roman power. Though frequently assailed by numerous armies, Byzantium survived by dint of its unorthodox foreign policy. Over time, its sumptuous art and architecture flourished, helping to establish a deep sense of Byzantine identity in its people. 
   
   
    
  Synthesizing a wealth of sources to cover all major aspects of the empire's social, political, military, religious, cultural, and artistic history, Harris's study illuminates the heart of Byzantine civilization and explores its remarkable and lasting influence on the modern world.
