From an award-winning historian of ancient Rome, a concise and comprehensive history of the fighting forces that created the Roman…
Empire Roman warfare was relentless in its pursuit of victory. A ruthless approach to combat played a major part in Rome's history, creating an empire that eventually included much of Europe, the Near East and North Africa. What distinguished the Roman army from its opponents was the uncompromising and total destruction of its enemies. Yet this ferocity was combined with a genius for absorbing conquered peoples, creating one of the most enduring empires ever known. In Roman Warfare , celebrated historian Adrian Goldsworthy traces the history of Roman warfare from 753 BC, the traditional date of the founding of Rome by Romulus, to the eventual decline and fall of Roman Empire and attempts to recover Rome and Italy from the "barbarians" in the sixth century AD. It is the indispensable history of the most professional fighting force in ancient history, an army that created an Empire and changed the worldLife by the numbers: a basic guide to learning your life through numerology

Par Mary Beard. 2023
In her international bestseller SPQR, Mary Beard told the thousand-year story of ancient Rome, from its slightly shabby Iron Age…
origins to its reign as the undisputed hegemon of the Mediterranean. Now, drawing on more than thirty years of teaching and writing about Roman history, Beard turns to the emperors who ruled the Roman Empire, beginning with Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BCE) and taking us through the nearly three centuries—and some thirty emperors—that separate him from the boy-king Alexander Severus (assassinated 235 CE). Yet Emperor of Rome is not your typical chronological account of Roman rulers, one emperor after another: the mad Caligula, the monster Nero, the philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Instead, Beard asks different, often larger and more probing questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained? What kind of jokes did Augustus tell? And for that matter, what really happened between the emperor Hadrian and his beloved Antinous? Effortlessly combining the epic with the quotidian, Beard tracks the emperor down at home, at the races, on his travels, even on his way to heaven. Along the way, Beard explores Roman fictions of imperial power, overturning many of the assumptions we hold as gospel, not the least of them the perception that emperors one and all were orchestrators of extreme brutality and cruelty. Here Beard introduces us to the emperor's wives and lovers, rivals and slaves, court jesters and soldiers, and the ordinary people who pressed begging lettersinto his hand—whose chamber pot disputes were adjudicated by Augustus, and whose budgets were approved by Vespasian, himself the son of a tax collector. With its finely nuanced portrayal of sex, class, and politics, Emperor of Rome goes directly to the heart of Roman fantasies (and our own) about what it was to be Roman at its richest, most luxurious, most extreme, most powerful, and most deadly, offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented beforeCes dates de naissance qui parlent

situait dans notre capacité d'affronter notre souffrance ! Et, si finalement, la clé d'une vie plus heureuse puisait sa source dans les émotions que l'on tente justement d'éviter... Le chagrin, la peur et le désespoir sont parmi les émotions que l'être humain trouve les plus difficiles à vivre -en même temps, s'il les ignore, comme il a tendance à le faire, cela peut entraîner de graves conséquences. La société actuelle, nous pousse plutôt à essayer d'oublier notre passé, à garder sous silence nos peurs et à passer par-dessus notre peine. Pourtant, en faisant face à notre douleur émotionnelle, en prenant le temps de l'écouter et de la laisser circuler librement, elle nous guide vers sa transformation et, ultimement, sa guérison. Dans ce livre d'un remarquable profondeur, Miriam Greenspan nous amène avec douceur et sagesse au-delà de cette détresse pour découvrir, de l'autre côté de cette expérience, la gratitude, la joie et une foi renouvelée"L'Enfant médium c'est d'abord l'histoire d'un voyage : celui qui a mené un jeune paysan marocain jusqu'aux coulisses de l'Élysée.…
Avant de devenir Neil Terence, voyant des grands de ce monde, Neil s'est appelé Mohammed, gamin d'Aïtourir, un village perdu à quelques heures de Marrakech. À cinq ans, en courant sur les chemins de son village, Mohammed a été victime d'un accident qui l'a plongé dans un coma d'un an et demi. Brisé, isolé au sein de sa communauté, il a trouvé refuge auprès de Lalla Fatima, une tante magicienne. Initié à un univers qui évoque de manière troublante les sortilèges de l'Antiquité, le jeune enfant a découvert qu'il avait lui aussi le Don. Don de prédire l'avenir, don de lire les cartes du sort, don de guérir par simple imposition des mains. Vivre avec un tel bagage rend solitaire, mais forge les grandes personnalités.

Par Jamie Kreiner. 2023
The digital era is beset by distraction, and it feels like things are only getting worse. At times like these,…
the distant past beckons as a golden age of attention. We dream of recapturing the quiet of a world with less noise. We imagine retreating into solitude and singlemindedness, almost like latter-day monks. But although we think of early monks as master concentrators, a life of mindfulness did not, in fact, come to them easily. As historian Jamie Kreiner demonstrates in The Wandering Mind, their attempts to stretch the mind out to God-to continuously contemplate the divine order and its ethical requirements-were all-consuming, and their battles against distraction were never-ending. Delving into the experiences of early Christian monks, Kreiner shows that these men and women were obsessed with distraction in ways that seem remarkably modern. Drawing on a trove of sources that the monks left behind, Kreiner reconstructs the techniques they devised in their lifelong quest to master their minds. She captures the fleeting moments of pure attentiveness that some monks managed to grasp, and the many times when monks struggled and failed and went back to the drawing board. Blending history and psychology, The Wandering Mind is a witty, illuminating account of human fallibility and ingenuity that bridges a distant era and our ownThe war that made the Roman Empire: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian at Actium
