 Esta biografia singular apresenta Marco Aurélio, que viveu entre os anos de 121 e 180 da Era Cristã, a uma nova geração de leitores através do estudo da fascinante viagem psicológica do imperador. Donald J. Robertson examina o relacionamento de Marco Aurélio com figuras importantes na sua vida, como sua mãe, Domícia Lucila, e o imperador Adriano, além dos seus tutores estoicos. Analisa as ações do imperador tal como aparecem descritas na Historia Augusta e em outros textos antigos. Marco Aurélio esforçou-se por conciliar a sua filosofia e os seus valores morais com as pressões políticas que enfrentou como imperador no auge do poder de Roma. Robertson analisa a sua atitude em relação à escravatura e ao dilema moral colocado pelos guerreiros capturados em combate; a sua atitude em relação às mulheres; o papel do estoicismo na sua resposta à ameaça da guerra civil; o tratamento dado aos cristãos sob a sua governação; e a nomeação como sucessor do seu filho Cómodo, um jovem de carácter questionável.

Talking Classics - The Shock Of The Old

de Mary Beard

~~22,97€~~ 20,67€ 10% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF EMPEROR OF ROME AND SPQR 'The rock star scholar of Ancient Rome' FINANCIAL TIMES 'The reigning Queen of Classics' SPECTATOR What's exciting about a piece of bread 4,000 years old? Or some pots of paint abandoned in the eruption at Pompeii? Why should we be bothered with the distant past anyway? What's the point? The life, art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome have something to offer everyone. They are not the property of wealthy white men only. They make us wonder how to make sense of people who lived long ago (from angry landlords to giggling senators) - and to think harder about our own world, to look at it differently. In Talking Classics, Mary Beard points to the surprising connections between antiquity and the present. From revolutionaries to dictators, Bob Dylan to Beyoncé, she joins forces with the varied modern characters who have been transfixed by the ancient world. It's not compulsory, she argues, to be excited by antiquity, but it's a shame not to be. After half a century teaching and studying classics, she fills the book with lively stories, curious facts and some good gossip. Talking Classics explains why the deep past does really affect us all.

Goliath's Curse - The History And Future Of Societal Collapse

de Luke Kemp

~~22,97€~~ 20,67€ 10% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 A radical retelling of human history through collapse, and what it means for our uncertain future A radical retelling of human history through collapse - from the dawn of our species to the urgent existential threats of the twenty-first century and beyond. Why do civilisations collapse? Is human progress possible? Are we approaching our endgame? For the first 200,000 years of human history, hunter-gathering Homo sapiens lived in fluid, egalitarian civilizations that thwarted any individual or group from ruling permanently. Then, around 12,000 years ago, that began to change. As we reluctantly congregated in the first farms and cities, people began to rely on novel lootable resources like grain and fish for their daily sustenance. And when more powerful weapons became available, small groups began to seize control of these valuable commodities. This inequality in resources soon tipped over into inequality in power, and we started to adopt more primal, hierarchical forms of organization. Power was concentrated in masters, kings, pharaohs and emperors (and ideologies were born to justify their rule). Goliath-like states and empires - with vast bureaucracies and militaries - carved up and dominated the globe. What brought them down? Whether in the early cities of Cahokia in North America or Tiwanaku in South America, or the sprawling empires of Egypt, Rome and China, it was increasing inequality and concentrations of power that hollowed these Goliaths out before an external shock brought them crashing down. These collapses were written up as apocalyptic, but in truth they were usually a blessing for most of the population. Now we live in a single global Goliath. Growth obsessed, extractive institutions like the fossil fuel industry, big tech and military-industrial complexes rule our world and produce new ways of annihilating our species, from climate change to nuclear war. Our systems are now so fast, complex and interconnected that a future collapse will likely be global, swift and irreversible. All of us now face a choice: we must learn to democratically control Goliath, or the next collapse may be our last. 'A deeply sobering and strangely inspiring history of how societies collapse - and how we can still save ours. Read it now, or your descendants will find it in the ruins' JOHANN HARI 'Absolutely essential reading for understanding why past civilisations collapsed, and how to protect our own from the same fate' LEWIS DARTNELL
