''What''s the harm in using humour to put across what is true?''Gluttony, lust, and hypocrisy are just a few of the targets of Horace''s Satires. Writing in the 30s BC, Horace exposes the vices and follies of his Roman contemporaries, while still finding time to reflect on how to write good satire and along the way revealing his own persona to be as flawed and bigoted as the people he attacks. Alongside famous episodes such as the fable of the town mouse and the country mouse, the explosive fart of Priapus, and the grotesque dinner party given by the nouveau-riche Nasidienus, these poems are stuffed full of comic vignettes, moral insights, and Horace''s pervasive humanity. They influenced not only Persius and Juvenal but the long tradition of English satire, from Ben Jonson to W. H. Auden. These new prose translations by John Davie perfectly capture the ribald style of the original.In the Epistles, Horace uses the form of letters to his friends, acquaintances, foremen, and even the emperor to explore questions of philosophy and how to live a good life; and in ''The Art of Poetry'' (the Ars poetica), he gives advice on poetic style that informed the work of ...

A game-changing approach to emotional health and well-being After suffering profound tragedy in her teens and coping by suppressing the emotions, Rachel Kaplan began a journey of study, therapy, and eventual breakthrough. She knows from experience that many of us avoid actually feeling our feelings. Instead, we store them in a kind of emotional constipation, chasing distraction, addiction, and other forms of suppression. The only way to heal and to live healthier, happier lives is to move the emotions through our bodies. Kaplan presents a revolutionary and irreverent approach to personal transformation and self-care that teaches you precisely how to feel emotions — and release them as nature intended. Doing so is the definitive means for establishing a baseline of well-being and self-trust and overcoming the debilitating effects of core wounds, chronic stress, depression, and backlogged emotional pain. By letting that sh*t go, you can enjoy the life you’re living and know your worth, no matter what.
