"Why Eumaeus? The fate of Achaea is shrouded, hinted at through the woeful fate of non-returning veterans of the Mycenaean grand folly. Telemachus and his Ithaca are statistics for archeology. Nor do we know what happened to Eumaeus, but Eumaeus is only a swineherd and a slave, not even a peasant. We don't need to know what happens to Eumaeus, save that we know him to be a man who understands the skills of abiding. Eumaeus is the us of non-history. We are the us who have survived, so far, as Eumaeus could tell us, in order to keep the tales alive and moving."

Silent Spring - Deadly Autumn of the Vietnam War (SSDAVW) may have been written too late to help aging Vietnam veterans with their toxic exposures and many diverse illnesses, but it's not too late to help future generations of military personnel from encountering the same fate. SSDAVW is a surreal voyage into everything the US government hasn't told you about the Vietnam War and doesn't want you to know. It's a book that cuts through to the heart of the circumstances and deadly chemicals used throughout that war.This book is more than a memoir; it's an investigative journey into the conditions US service personnel served under, and the scars we carried with us for decades. The unfortunate truth is, as soldiers, we were expendable in Vietnam, and our soldiers will be expendable in the future if we do nothing to help protect our next generation of warriors!

La storia di un legionario che abbandona la capitale per difendere ciò che rimane del glorioso Impero romano al confine danubiano. Un romanzo storico che trascende la storia e racconta i battiti di una vita che non si rassegna al disfacimento. Imperdibile! È l'anno 1129 dalla fondazione di Roma (il 376 dopo Cristo). Marcello, giovane e brillante oratore, lascia la capitale, gli affetti e un avvenire sicuro per arruolarsi nelle legioni di stanza sul confine danubiano: si è infatti convinto che in tempi drammatici (i barbari premono da ogni parte) la parola "ornata" sia un'insopportabile menzogna e che solo la pratica delle armi possa costituire una seria verifica del proprio limite.Tra partenza e ritorno (i fatti lo risospingeranno avventurosamente a Roma trent'anni dopo), vi sono esercitazioni, battaglie, rivolte, spedizioni in terra straniera; anche relazioni sentimentali, instabili come tutto ciò che nasce in una terra devastata... Recensioni di alcuni lettori: Non il solito libro di storia romanzata. Il protagonista, Marcello, diventa nel romanzo la coscienza di ROMA, racconta nella sua storia ciò che Roma era e diventa. Molto bello, introspettivo, sagace. (Steps) Un romanzo storico autobiografico impregnato di una realtà ordinaria e credibile in cui il protagonista, Marcello, è presentato con una sensibilità tale che risulta impossibile non affezionarsi. La sua vita è segnata dal caos che regna nel periodo storico di riferimento, verso cui il protagonista tenta di opporre stoicamente resistenza. Lo stile dell'autore si conferma il fiore all'occhiello del romanzo, come nel precedente titolo (Re Infecta), e lo eleva ad un livello qualitativo ormai raro. (Andrea B.) E non solo per i riferimenti agli Annali di Tacito, ma anche per la consistenza dei particolari sia nei dettagli della vita dei legionari che per il carisma e la competenza degli imperatori-generali.....le gentes Flavia, Ulpia, Claudia, ..... in questo scenario assolutamente credibile si inseriscono, piacevolmente per il lettore, le vite romanzate dei protagonisti: centurioni, tribuni, legati... (Marco Talucci) Mauro Novellini abita con la famiglia a San Martino dall'Argine, in provincia di Mantova, e insegna letteratura italiana e latina in un liceo del capoluogo. Con Nella legione di confine egli sperimenta il genere del romanzo storico e insieme quello dell'autobiografia: a narrare in prima persona è infatti il protagonista stesso, una volta giunto alla soglia dei cinquant'anni e alla fine della sua esperienza di soldato. Gli obiettivi dell'autore sono due: da una parte accendere i riflettori su un periodo piuttosto oscuro della storia romana, dall'altra dimostrare che in quella storia di violenza e di declino il nostro presente è già inscritto in gran parte come patrimonio genetico. Con Gilgamesh Edizioni Novellini ha già pubblicato nel 2015 Re infecta (un giallo ambientato nell'attualità e nel territorio mantovano), ormai alla seconda edizione.Acquistalo subito! Scopri Nella legione di confine, il secondo capolavoro di Mauro Novellini, dopo Re infecta.

The honeymoon is really over when the show's executive producer, none other than Carol's grammar school boyfriend, winds up dead on Carol and Jim's first night in Florida.

Born about the year AD 200, Thascus Caecillius Cyprianus was the scion of an ancient and noble Roman family living in North Africa. A convert to Christianity in mid-life, Cyprian was acclaimed bishop of Carthage during a time of intense Empire-wide persecution by the Roman imperial authorities under the emperor Decius. In the twelve year span between his conversion and his martyrdom in AD 258 during the reign of Valerian, Cyprian wrote some of the most important foundational documents of the ante-Nicene Church.This volume contains the entirety of Saint Cyprian's writing--13 treatises and all of his correspondence, 82 letters in all. It also includes "The Life and Passion of Saint Cyprian" by his companion, Pontius the Deacon, as well as the minutes of the Seventh Council of Carthage over which Cyprian presided. His writings encompass the major issues of his day including the Roman persecutions, the unity of the Church, dealing with those who renounced the faith under threat from the state (the lapsi), the Novatian heresy and the rebaptism controversy. His correspondents included the most illustrious men of the early Latin Church, including three Popes--Cornelius, Stephen I, and Sixtus II.Read and cited frequently by theologians down through the ages, Saint Cyprian's writings are of surpassing authority and were considered works of genius "brighter than the sun" by Saint Jerome. Aside from their obvious ecclesiastical import, the works of Cyprian also offer a detailed and unique glimpse into Roman society at the height of the anti-Christian persecutions and demonstrate the growth and struggles of the early Church during a time of intense external political pressure.Based on the translation originally published as part of The Ante-Nicene Fathers [1885], this new edition includes a new introduction, updated commentary, an updated bibliography, and several new appendices including "The Quotable Cyprian".

That company would be in the first wave of soldiers invading Normandy. As that company's 1st scout, Milo was the first man off his landing craft and the first on shore. He eventually realized he might have been the first GI to land on Omaha.Follow his path as he survived the invasion carnage, and continued to fight through Europe in some of the bitterest, bloodiest battles of World War II.
