Sinopse

In "De re militari," Vegetius presents a comprehensive treatise on military strategy and tactics in the late Roman Empire, emphasizing the importance of discipline, training, and organization within the ranks of the army. Written in a clear and pragmatic style, the text serves as both a historical document and a manual for military leaders, elucidating the principles of warfare that had defined Roman military success. Vegetius' work is steeped in the traditions of Roman literature and builds upon earlier military texts, synthesizing classical knowledge to address the challenges faced by contemporary armies during a period of political and social turmoil in Rome. Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus, an influential Roman military strategist of the late 4th century, composed "De re militari" to address the decline of Roman martial prowess amidst rising barbarian threats. His insights are informed by his extensive experience and observation of military practices, reflecting a desire to restore the Roman legions to their former glory. As a pivotal figure in military literature, Vegetius aimed to educate and inspire future generations of commanders to foster an effective and honorable military tradition. For anyone intrigued by the intricacies of military history or the evolution of strategic thought, "De re militari" offers invaluable insights. Its detailed examination of military discipline and the necessity of training is as relevant today as it was in antiquity, making this book a must-read for military professionals, historians, and anyone interested in the art of warfare.

    Communism is one of the most influential and controversial ideologies in modern history. At its core, communism seeks to establish a classless society in which the means of production are collectively owned, and wealth is distributed according to need. This vision of equality and social justice has inspired revolutions, political movements, and significant social change across the globe. However, it has also sparked intense debate, criticism, and conflict, making it a complex and multifaceted subject. 
    The origins of communism trace back to the 19th century, with the works of German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels laying its intellectual foundation. Their seminal text, The Communist Manifesto (1848), outlined the principles of communism and called for the working class, or proletariat, to rise against the bourgeoisie, the ruling capitalist class. Marx and Engels argued that capitalism inherently exploits workers, creating vast inequalities that would eventually lead to its collapse and the emergence of a socialist society as a transitional phase toward communism. 
    A key concept in Marxist theory is historical materialism, which posits that societal progress is driven by the struggle between opposing economic classes. According to this view, history has evolved through stages—such as feudalism and capitalism—each defined by its mode of production and class relations. Communism represents the final stage, where class distinctions disappear, and humanity achieves true freedom and equality.

    The Revolution Betrayed - What...

    Leon Trotsky

    It is June 1936. Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) has finally been granted a visa for asylum in Norway, having been banned first from living in Paris, and then the whole of France. With him comes the draft of The Revolution Betrayed: What Is the Soviet Union and Where Is It Going?, which is completed and sent to the publishers on the 4th of August. The book, published by Faber in 1937, is considered to be Trotsky’s major work on Stalinism. Trotsky’s passion for the spirit of the Revolution he co-founded, his disgust and sadness at how the people of Russia have been betrayed by Stalin and his acolytes, shows us the bleak lives of 170 million Russians under the absolute control of ‘the Ten Thousand’ of the bureaucracy.  
     
    Trotsky reminds us of the high concepts of the 1917 October Revolution, (Marx’s 'From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs') with the sharing of the nation’s resources for the benefit of all. Prominent among such forward thinking was the commitment to lift women out of the trap of housework and childbirth by communal refectories and creches in the workplace. He praises the positive economic advances of the USSR since the death of Lenin - the growth in areas such as industrial and electrical output. But he notes the continued and inevitable low productivity (much lower than the capitalist West, he acknowledges) that is the result of lack of incentive for the Soviet worker. This, he argues, will never allow the country to lift itself up to full potential, despite Stalin’s ever-changing Five-Year Plans. 
     
    Indeed, it is this zig-zagging of panicked policy and bovine directionlessness that frustrates Trotsky so much. It is bad enough that Stalin and his self-serving cohorts have formed a Thermidorian regime of brutal repression and conservative nest-feathering. But even worse, their economic adventurism is carrying ‘the nation to the edge of disaster’.  
     
    Trotsky brings us a clear picture of the miserable existence of the vast majority of Russians, barely surviving on bad rations, endemic corruption and fear, and the promise of a tomorrow that will never come. He laments the lack of a proletarian uprising in the West that might encourage Russians to change their own off-course regime. He notes the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, and seems, even in 1936, to see war as inevitable. He predicts the toppling of Stalinism but would have wept at how many decades it took and how many millions of lives would be wasted by stupidity and war.  
     
    Only 10 days after Trotsky sent this book to the publishers, Stalin announced the first of the Moscow show trials that began the Great Purge. Trotsky and his wife were badly treated and muzzled by the Norwegians to prevent his protesting at Stalin’s actions, and they moved to Mexico City in early 1937. There they lived, terrorized by Stalin’s determination to assassinate his old rival, until Trotsky’s death following a blow from an ice pick on 20th August 1940. The Revolution Betrayed, with its vivid translation by Max Eastman, is presented with clarity and commitment by Jonathan Booth.

    “[An] entertaining and savory gastronomical history of the cuisine of Italy and how it won over appetites worldwide.” —USA TodayNot so long ago, Italian food was regarded as a poor man's gruel—little more than pizza, macaroni with sauce, and red wines in a box. Here, John Mariani shows how the Italian immigrants to America created, through perseverance and sheer necessity, an Italian-American food culture, and how it became a global obsession. The book begins with the Greek, Roman, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions before the boot-shaped peninsula was even called “Italy,” then takes readers on a journey through Europe and across the ocean to America alongside the poor but hopeful Italian immigrants who slowly but surely won over the hearts and minds of Americans by way of their stomachs.Featuring evil villains such as the Atkins diet and French chefs, this is a rollicking tale of how Italian cuisine rose to its place as the most beloved fare in the world, through the lives of the people who led the charge.With savory anecdotes from these top chefs and restaurateurs:Danny MeyerTony MantuanoMichael ChiarelloGiada de LaurentiisGiuseppe CiprianiNigella LawsonAnd the trials and triumphs of these restaurants:Da SilvanoSpiaggiaBottegaUnion Square CaféMaialinoRao'sBabboIl Cantinori“Mariani captures the history and elemental beauty of a cuisine that really does seem to appeal to more palates than any other . . . you owe it to yourself to read this book.” —Las Vegas Weekly

    The Book of Psalms, also known as the Psalms, or the Psalter, is the first book of the Ketuvim ("Writings"), the third section of the Tanakh, and a book of the Old Testament. The title is derived from the Greek translation, ψαλμοί (psalmoi), meaning "instrumental music" and, by extension, "the words accompanying the music". The book is an anthology of individual Hebrew religious hymns, with 150 in the Jewish and Western Christian tradition and more in the Eastern Christian churches. Many are linked to the name of David, but modern scholarship rejects his authorship, instead attributing the composition of the psalms to various authors writing between the 9th and 5th centuries BC.
