Seneca (ca. AD 4 65) authored verse tragedies that strongly influenced Shakespeare and other Renaissance dramatists. Plots are based on myth, but themes reflect imperial Roman politics. John G. Fitch has thoroughly revised his two-volume edition to take account of scholarship that has appeared since its initial publication.

From his arrival in Britain in the 1950s and involvement in the New Left, to founding the field of cultural studies and examining race and identity in the 1990s and early 2000s, Stuart Hall has been central to shaping many of the cultural and political debates of our time. Essential Essays-a landmark two-volume set-brings together Stuart Hall's most influential and foundational works. Spanning the whole of his career, these volumes reflect the breadth and depth of his intellectual and political projects while demonstrating their continued vitality and importance. Volume 2: Identity and Diaspora draws from Hall's later essays, in which he investigated questions of colonialism, empire, and race. It opens with “Gramsci's Relevance for the Study of Race and Ethnicity,” which frames the volume and finds Hall rethinking received notions of racial essentialism. In addition to essays on multiculturalism and globalization, black popular culture, and Western modernity's racial underpinnings, Volume 2 contains three interviews with Hall, in which he reflects on his life to theorize his identity as a colonial and diasporic subject.

''You ask what is the proper measure of wealth? The best measure is to have what is necessary, and next best, to have enough. Keep well!''The letters written by the Stoic philosopher and tragedian Seneca to his friend Lucilius are in effect moral essays, whose purpose is to reinforce Lucilius'' struggle to achieve wisdom and serenity, uninfluenced by worldly emotions. Seneca advises his friend on how to do without what is superfluous, whether on the subject of happiness, riches, reputation, or the emotions.

The final volume of Jeffrey Archer’s prison diaries, A Prison Diary Volume III: Heaven, covers the period of his transfer from Wayland to his eventual release on parole in July 2003. It includes a shocking account of the traumatic time he spent in the notorious Lincoln jail and the events that led to his incarceration there – it also throws light on a system that is close to breaking point.Told with humour, compassion and honesty, it closes with a thought-provoking manifesto that should be applauded by the Establishment and prison population alike.Day 115Saturday 10th November 20016.38amIt’s all an act. I am hopelessly unhappy, dejected and broken. I smile when I am at my lowest, I laugh when I see no humour, I help others when I need help myself. I am alone. If I were to show any sign, even for a moment, of what I’m going through, I would have to read the details in some tabloid the following day. Everything I do is only a phone call away from a friendly journalist with an open cheque book. I don’t know where I have found the strength to maintain this facade and never break down in anyone’s presence.

Tara Selter is no longer alone.Tara Selter has lived the eighteenth of November 1,143 times when she notices a break in the pattern: a man has changed his shirt. The man is Henry Dale, and he remembers all the days that have come before. He knows that time has fallen out of joint. Now they are two of a kind – trapped in the eighteenth of November, but no longer alone.Together they learn to share their present; their voices grow hoarse recounting their small battles against it and their bewilderment at the disintegrating world. Henry sees things differently to Tara: he does not think that time will put itself back together and he does not think that the future will come around. But he makes her realise that she is no longer the same person she was before this fault in time. And he makes her believe that there may be others to find within it.Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize and Winner of the Nordic Council Prize for Literature, On the Calculation of Volume III is the third volume of the poetic, page-turning European masterpiece about one woman''s fall through the cracks of time.

“If my fellow-traveller had lived, he intended to have put together in book form such information as we had gathered about Southern Arabia. Now, as he died four days after our return from our last journey there, I have had to undertake the task myself. It has been very sad to me, but I have been helped by knowing that, however imperfect this book may be, what is written here will surely be a help to those who, by following in our footsteps, will be able to get beyond them, and to whom I so heartily wish success and a Happy Home-coming, the best wish a traveller may have.” So Mabel Bent (Mrs J. Theodore Bent) begins her Preface to Southern Arabia, one of the classic travel books written in English about this ever-fascinating region, in which she details the couple’s travels over a ten-year period. A testimony to the book’s high regard is that, since publication in 1900, it has rarely been out-of-print.

The third installment commemorating Charles Ray''s rotating exhibitions at Glenstone The diverse sculptural practice of American sculptor Charles Ray (born 1953) has long challenged perceptions of scale, material and subject matter, necessitating multiple viewings over time.

Organized in close collaboration with the artist, the selections showcase Ray’s practice from early in his career to the present day, with four works ranging in material from concrete and steel to handmade paper used to realize a recent self-portrait, Return to the one (2020).

"This history will endure; not only because Sir Winston has written it, but also because of its own inherent virtues — its narrative power, its fine judgment of war and politics, of soldiers and statesmen, and even more because it reflects a tradition of what Englishmen in the hey-day of their empire thought and felt about their country''s past."

'This is not solely an addendum to the previous volumes, but stands well on its own. The book's physical and emotional core lies in the Baldaev drawings, which are ethnographic, artistic, and surprisingly moving.

At the age of ten in the mid-1970''s, David Marcum discovered Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and from that point, he knew that the original 60 Canonical adventures would never be enough. This, coupled with his life-long desire to write, meant that eventually he would find a way to add new stories to The Great Holmes Tapestry. The years passed, and David collected, read, and chronologicized literally thousands of traditional Canonical Sherlockian pastiches. Then, in 2008, with time on his hands while laid off from his civil engineering job during the Great Recession, David finally found his way to Watson''s Tin Dispatch Box, producing The Papers of Sherlock Holmes. These first nine short stories originally sat on a shelf in his Holmes book collection before he eventually decided to share them with others. That first collection was initially published by a small press in 2011, and then in 2013 by the premiere Sherlockian publisher, MX Publishing - and after that, there was no turning back. Since then, in addition to editing over 60 volumes (most of which are Sherlockian anthologies), David has written and published over 80 Sherlockian adventures in a variety of anthologies and magazines.

''No man is crushed by misfortune unless he has first been deceived by prosperity.''In these dialogues and essays the Stoic philosopher Seneca outlines his thoughts on how to live in a troubled world. Tutor to the young emperor Nero, Seneca wrote exercises in practical philosophy that draw upon contemporary Roman life and illuminate the intellectual concerns of the day. They also have much to say to the modern reader, as Seneca ranges widely across subjects such as the shortness of life, tranquillity of mind, anger, mercy, happiness, and grief at the loss of a loved one. Seneca''s accessible, aphoristic style makes his writing especially attractive as an introduction to Stoic philosophy, and belies its reputation for austerity and dogmatism. This edition combines a clear and modern translation with an introduction to Seneca''s life and philosophical interests, and helpful notes.

Selected from the Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, Seneca''s Letters from a Stoic are a set of ''essays in disguise'' from one of the most insightful philosophers of the Silver Age of Roman literature. This Penguin Classics edition is translated from the Latin with an introduction by Robin Campbell.A philosophy that saw self-possession as the key to an existence lived ''in accordance with nature'', Stoicism called for the restraint of animal instincts and the severing of emotional ties. These beliefs were formulated by the Athenian followers of Zeno in the fourth century BC, but it was in Seneca that the Stoics found their most eloquent advocate. Stoicism, as expressed in the Letters, helped ease pagan Rome''s transition to Christianity, for it upholds upright ethical ideals and extols virtuous living, as well as expressing disgust for the harsh treatment of slaves and the inhumane slaughters witnessed in the Roman arenas. Seneca''s major contribution to a seemingly unsympathetic creed was to transform it into a powerfully moving and inspiring declaration of the dignity of the individual mind.Robin Campbell''s lucid translation captures Seneca''s humour and tautly aphoristic style.

„O krátkosti života“ (orig. *De brevitate vitae*) je téměř dva tisíce let starý list Lucia Seneky, adresovaný příteli. Seneca, jako jeden z nejvýznamnějších představitelů stoicismu, nás nutí v tomto nadčasovém díle přehodnotit, jak nakládáme s časem. Ukazuje, že kvalita života nezávisí na jeho délce, ale na tom, jak jej využijeme.Seneca vždy patřil a stále patří k nejoblíbenějším a nejpřekládanějším římským autorům. Během svého života stihl být vlivným řečníkem, tutorem římského císaře, podnikatelem a v jednom okamžiku i nejbohatším Římanem. Pro Senecu jako stoika bylo klíčové, jak reagovat a přijímat životní okolnosti, které nemůžeme ovlivnit, a naopak se soustředit na to, co ovlivnit můžeme.V krátkém, ale hlubokém dopisu rodinnému příteli Paulínovi Seneca uvádí osm klíčových důvodů, proč často nežijeme tak, jak bychom chtěli. Rozebírá, proč si mnozí neuvědomují, že čas je ve skutečnosti jejich nejvzácnější zdroj. V listu nenabízí pouze teoretické rady, ale poskytuje i praktická doporučení, jak se vyhnout promarnění života na zbytečnosti a dosáhnout opravdového štěstí a smysluplného života.

V dnešní době zaznamenáváme obrovský zájem o stoicismus, ale přestože je Seneca označován za "nejpřesvědčivějšího a nejelegantnějšího ze stoických spisovatelů", nikdo dosud nenapsal knihu, v níž by jeho učení přiblížil běžnému čtenáři. Doufám, že moje kniha tuto mezeru zaplní a osvětlí vám jeho filosofii. Možná že tato kniha ukojí zvědavost některých čtenářů, již se o Senekovu filosofii zajímají. Mezi stoiky Seneca vyniká hlubokým psychologickým vhledem do lidské povahy, ctižádosti i obav. Jako první učenec západního světa důkladně zkoumal psychologii konzumerismu. Výrazně přispěl i k pochopení emocí a hněvu a jeho myšlenky si uchovaly platnost dodnes. Krátce řečeno, Seneca nebyl akademický teoretik, nýbrž člověk, který to ve skutečnosti "všechno zažil" - ty nejlepší i ty nejhorší stránky lidské povahy.[i] To, o čem psal, znal z první ruky a měl jedinečnou schopnost porozumět vnitřní, psychické motivaci lidí. Právě to z něj činí po dvou tisících letech nedocenitelného průvodce i pro moderního čtenáře. Senekova doba je tedy i naší dobou. Seneca je naším současníkem a my s ním sdílíme jeho nejhlubší obavy.

The letters of Seneca are uniquely engaging among the works that have survived from antiquity. They offer an urgent guide to Stoic self-improvement but also cast light on Roman attitudes towards slavery, gladiatorial combat and suicide. This selection of letters conveys their range and variety, with a particular focus on letters from the earlier part of the collection. As well as a general introduction, it features a brief introductory essay on each letter, which draws out its themes and sets it in context. The commentary explains the more challenging aspects of Seneca''s Latin. It also casts light on his engagement with Stoic (and Epicurean) ideas, on the historical context within which the letters were written and on their literary sophistication. This edition will be invaluable for undergraduate and graduate students and scholars of Seneca''s moral and intellectual development.

As chief advisor to the emperor Nero, Lucius Annaeus Seneca was most influential in ancient Rome as a power behind the throne. His lasting fame derives from his writings on Stoic ideology, in which philosophy is a practical form of self-improvement rather than a matter of argument or wordplay. Seneca''s letters to a young friend advise action rather than reflection, addressing the issues that confront every generation: how to achieve a good life; how to avoid corruption and self-indulgence; and how to live without fear of death. Written in an intimate, conversational style, the letters reflect the traditional Stoic focus on living in accordance with nature and accepting the world on its own terms. The philosopher emphasizes the Roman values of courage, self-control, and rationality, yet he remains remarkably modern in his tolerant and cosmopolitan attitude. Rich in epigrammatic wit, Seneca''s interpretation of Stoicism constitutes a timeless and inspiring declaration of the dignity of the individual mind.
