Sinopsis

The Complete Historical Works of Xenophon offers an unparalleled insight into the socio-political milieu of ancient Greece through the lens of one of its most astute observers. Comprised of works such as 'ÄòAnabasis,'Äô which chronicles his journey alongside the Ten Thousand, and 'ÄòHellenica,'Äô a continuation of Thucydides' history focusing on the Peloponnesian War, this compilation showcases Xenophon'Äôs distinctive narrative style that blends vivid storytelling with philosophical reflection. His prose, marked by clarity and precision, situates it within the broader context of classical literature, emphasizing the interplay between military leadership and ethical governance. Xenophon, a contemporary of Socrates and a soldier turned historian, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous events of his time, including the chaos of the Peloponnesian War and the decline of Athenian power. His scholarly pursuits were not merely academic; they stemmed from practical experiences and encounters with notable figures, including Socrates himself. This dual perspective as both participant and chronicler infuses his works with a unique authenticity, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the challenges of leadership and virtue. This comprehensive edition is indispensable for those seeking to understand the complex legacy of ancient Greece. It illuminates the fabric of a society undergoing profound transformation, making it a vital resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of classical literature and history.

    Every American is taught a pristine narrative of the life and legacy of George Washington and can easily recite the highlights of the “Father of Our Country”. The remarkable Virginian led an under-resourced rag-tag army to ultimate victory in the American Revolution before becoming the nation’s first president, setting it on its path toward superpower status. He may not have actually chopped down a cherry tree or tossed a silver dollar across the Potomac, but his contemporaries considered his character above reproach. When Washington voluntary resigned as commander of the armies, he stunned the world. Everyone in the colonies and the world realized that Washington, at the head of the last army standing in the colonies, could have made himself king of the new United States on the spot, and it would have been a move supported by his rank and file soldiers.  
    Politically, John Adams shared Washington’s preference for Britain as well as his preference of non-interference. However, while he was certainly the more significant man in his work and his governing, he could never seem to move out of Washington’s shadow. Even worse, his presidency was seen as threatening to the very essence of American liberty with the Alien and Sedition Acts, and his loss to Jefferson in 1800 was a repudiation of the Federalists that left Jeffersonians in power until John Quincy Adams was elected in 1824. His presidency is still viewed relatively unfavorably. 
    	The Founding Fathers have been revered by Americans for over 200 years, celebrated for creating a new nation founded upon the loftiest ideals of democracy and meritocracy. But if the American Dream has come to represent the ability to climb the social ladder with skill and hard work, no Founding Father represented the new America more than Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton is also well remembered for his authorship, along with John Jay and James Madison, of the Federalist Papers.

    An illuminating exploration of the tensions between self and society in the age of revolutions. 
     
     
     
    The eighteenth century was a time of cultural friction: individuals began to assert greater independence and there was a new emphasis on social equality. In this surprising history, Lynn Hunt examines women's expanding societal roles, such as using tea to facilitate conversation between the sexes in Britain. In France, women also pushed boundaries by becoming artists, and printmakers' satiric takes on the elite gave the lower classes a chance to laugh at the upper classes and imagine the potential of political upheaval. Hunt also explores how promotion in French revolutionary armies was based on men's singular capabilities, rather than noble blood, and how the invention of financial instruments such as life insurance and national debt related to a changing idea of national identity. Wide-ranging and thought-provoking, The Revolutionary Self is a fascinating exploration of the conflict between individualism and the group ties that continues to shape our lives today.
