Beschreibung

Xenophon's 'The Historical Works of Xenophon' is a collection of historical writings that provide valuable insights into ancient Greek history. Known for his clear and concise writing style, Xenophon's narratives offer a vivid portrayal of events such as the expedition of Cyrus the Younger and the life of Spartan society. His works are considered significant contributions to the genre of historical literature, providing readers with a unique perspective on the political and social dynamics of the time. Xenophon, a student of Socrates and a contemporary of Plato, drew on his experiences as a soldier and adventurer to inform his historical writings. His firsthand accounts and meticulous attention to detail contribute to the authenticity and reliability of his work, making him a respected figure in the field of ancient historiography. I highly recommend 'The Historical Works of Xenophon' to readers interested in ancient Greek history and historical literature. Xenophon's narrative skill and insightful commentary make this collection a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the ancient world.

    Life Is Short - An Appropriately...

    Why life's shortness—more than anything else—is what makes it meaningful 
     
     
     
    Death might seem to render pointless all our attempts to create a meaningful life. Doesn't meaning require transcending death through an afterlife or in some other way? On the contrary, Dean Rickles argues, life without death would be like playing tennis without a net. Only constraints—and death is the ultimate constraint—make our actions meaningful. In Life Is Short, Rickles explains why the finiteness and shortness of life is the essence of its meaning—and how this insight is the key to making the most of the time we do have. 
     
     
     
    Life Is Short explores how death limits our options and forces us to make choices that forge a life and give the world meaning. But people often live in a state of indecision, in a misguided attempt to keep their options open. This provisional way of living—always looking elsewhere, to the future, to other people, to other ways of being, and never committing to what one has or, alternatively, putting in the time and energy to achieve what one wants—is a big mistake, and Life Is Short tells listeners how to avoid this trap. By reminding us how extraordinary it is that we have any time to live at all, Life Is Short challenges us to rethink what gives life meaning and how to make the most of it.

  • Abraham Lincoln - The Dark Side What History Didn’t Tell You - cover

    Abraham Lincoln - The Dark Side...

    Lincoln's connection to black history may go much further than his role in slavery. In the 2001 book 'Black People and Their Place in History', historian Leroy Vaughn, alleges that Lincoln’s father was African American and his mother had Ethiopian ethnicity, both of which may have explained his “very dark skin and coarse hair.” The fact is his rivals campaigned using propaganda that depicted Lincoln as “Abraham Africanus the First,” an African man. 
     
    It is claimed that Abraham Lincoln, who became America’s 16th President in 1860, was a Melungeon; a person of European, African-American and Native American ancestry. 
    But beyond even that thoughtful historical proposition the late scholar Lerone Bennet Jr. sees America's most beloved president in a very different light to how he has been portrayed throughout time. Bennet hit a nerve in his research and writing on Lincoln. His book, 'Forced into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream', questions Lincoln's role as the "Great Emancipator". The work was described by one reviewer as a "flawed mirror." It was further criticized by historians of the Civil War period as faulty. 
     
    In his introduction, Bennett wrote: 
    "The idea of the book is simple: Everything you think you know about Lincoln and race is wrong. Every schoolchild, for example, knows the story of "the great emancipator" who freed Negroes with a stroke of the pen out of the goodness of his heart. The real Lincoln ... was a conservative politician who said repeatedly that he believed in white supremacy. Not only that: He opposed the basic principle of the Emancipation Proclamation until his death and was literally forced – Count Adam Gurowski said he was literally whipped – "into the glory of having issued the Emancipation Proclamation," which Lincoln drafted in such a way that it did not in and of itself free a single slave."

The rulers of Spain agreed to support his risky venture, and he sailed off in 1492. He unexpectedly ran into two continents nobody in Europe knew about. He didn’t discover the continents; that had been done centuries before.

    You’ll learn how the initial contacts led to one of the greatest catastrophes in all of human history and how smallpox enabled Cortes and the Spanish to conquer the Aztec Empire, which was bigger than Spain. 
    In this captivating audiobook, you will learn about the following:Japanese samurai who guarded silver shipments in Mexico in the 1600s;Catarina de San Juan, who began life as a Muslim girl in India and ended as a popular saint in Mexico;The immense amount of silver from Peru and Mexico, which fueled Spain’s Golden Century and led to repeated bankruptcy;American chili peppers giving some heat to cuisines from Hungary to Korea;Crops domesticated by indigenous Americans enabling China to double its population;Disease from the Americas making millions of Europeans miserable, including Henry VIII, Casanova, Ivan the Terrible, and Beethoven;
