Summary

In "The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic," W. Warde Fowler meticulously explores the rich tapestry of religious festivities that characterized ancient Rome prior to the rise of the Empire. Fowler's literary style is characterized by rigorous scholarship and a clear, engaging prose that invites readers into the complex interplay between religion, politics, and societal norms. This work is situated within the context of classical studies and archaeology, employing both primary sources and contemporary scholarship to illuminate the significance of festivals as a reflection of Roman values and communal identity. W. Warde Fowler, a prominent classical scholar and a member of the British Academy, dedicated much of his academic career to the study of ancient Rome. His extensive knowledge of Roman culture, history, and religion, coupled with his belief in the importance of understanding the cultural fabric of ancient societies, profoundly influenced his writings. Fowler's scholarly background and contextual knowledge shine through as he examines how these festivals shaped public life and reinforced social cohesion in the Republic. This book is highly recommended for historians, archaeologists, and literature enthusiasts alike, offering a profound understanding of how festivals influenced not only the religious landscape of ancient Rome but also its politics and social dynamics.

    Same River Twice - Putin's War...

    SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2026 MINNA CANTH AWARD LONGLISTED FOR THE 2025 MOORE PRIZE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WRITING  
Blending the call to action of We Should All Be Feminists with the journalistic rigor of Masha Gessen, “an exquisite feminist critique of Russia’s oppressive tactics" (Kirkus Reviews) revealing how modern Russia’s history of weaponizing sexual violence plays a crucial role in its current geopolitical strategy  
“It’s one of those books that can truly change a reader's life. . . . A powerful, unforgettable read.” —Andrey Kurkov, award-winning author of Grey Bees and The Silver Bone 
“Thoughtful, instructive and deeply harrowing.” —Luke Harding, The Guardian 
On March 22, 2023, the Swedish Academy organized a conference on threats to democracy and freedom of expression featuring a slate of distinguished speakers including Arundhati Roy, Timothy Snyder, and Sofi Oksanen. Oksanen’s address—entitled “Putin's War on Women”— would go on to spark such interest that the acclaimed Finnish writer felt compelled to return to it as the basis for a larger, more in-depth look at Putin’s threat to women. The result is Same River, Twice, a devastating book-length essay that incisively builds on the themes and arguments first presented in her powerful speech. 
During the Soviet occupation of Estonia, Oksanen's great-aunt was arrested and brutally interrogated overnight. Left permanently traumatized by the experience, she would never speak again. Using her family story as a starting point, Oksanen launches an investigation into the systematic crimes that the Russian government has, for nearly a century, committed with impunity. From the Russian military's entry into Berlin in 1945 to its modern invasion of Ukraine, Russia has continually employed violence against women when combatting its enemies. Life for women in Putin's Russia is little better; gender equality is in decline, women are silenced by the legal system, and rape is used to humiliate victims, especially women in media. 
Through Oksanen's sober analysis a disturbing picture emerges: under Putin, misogyny has become foundational to the state’s power. It underpins the current regime, serves as a means of weaving international alliances, and forms an essential part of Russia’s ongoing genocide in Ukraine, in turn posing a threat to the rights of women and minorities worldwide. As threats to democracy grow stronger across the globe, the powerful and timely Same River, Twice is a warning that cannot not be ignored.
