Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aulus is committed to fulfilling his promise to his late mother, Martine, by searching for his twin brother who was separated from him through adoption. In his quest, Aulus takes on a challenging project in a foreign country to dismantle armed gangs. Although his wife, Sophie, expresses concern for his safety, their daughter, Sophi-Angelique (nicknamed Sophi-An), eagerly joins her father, having survived a kidnapping and near-death experience during her time as a nurse with Médecins Sans Frontières in that same country. Unbeknownst to Aulus, the gangs have been monitoring his activities closely, leading to his betrayal and subsequent kidnapping with the assistance of a corrupt police chief. However, he manages to escape thanks to a man who bears a striking resemblance to his twin brother, Sauul, who had created an advanced spy network for the gangs to track Aulus and his team. He is soon revealed to be his long-lost sibling through a DNA test. Together, Aulus and Sauul devise a cutting-edge, high-tech anti-gang Artificial Intelligent system with the objective to systematically dismantle the gang networks. Their mission takes an unexpected turn when they orchestrate a cyber-attack inspired by Robin Hood, forcefully seizing the stolen money amassed by politicians, gangs, and their associates. In a remarkable turn of events, they managed to return a staggering $58.5 billion back to the country. The reclaimed funds are then prioritized for significant improvements in crucial sectors, such as agriculture, education, healthcare, infrastructure, the judicial system, and overall security. Aulus concluded that despite of the horrifying and dehumanizing state of security in that country, there will inevitably be some positive outcomes arising from it.

Book Synopsis Dreams and Dreaming in the Roman Empire by : Juliette Harrisson
Download or read book Dreams and Dreaming in the Roman Empire written by Juliette Harrisson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history and literature of the Roman Empire is full of reports of dream prophecies, dream ghosts and dream gods. This volume offers a fresh approach to the study of ancient dreams by asking not what the ancients dreamed or how they experienced dreaming, but why the Romans considered dreams to be important and worthy of recording. Dream reports from historical and imaginative literature from the high point of the Roman Empire (the first two centuries AD) are analysed as objects of cultural memory, records of events of cultural significance that contribute to the formation of a group's cultural identity. The book also introduces the term 'cultural imagination', as a tool for thinking about ancient myth and religion, and avoiding the question of 'belief', which arises mainly from creed-based religions. The book's conclusion compares dream reports in the Classical world with modern attitudes towards dreams and dreaming, identifying distinctive features of both the world of the Romans and our own culture.

Book excerpt: From award-winning and highly acclaimed author Court Stevens comes a gripping, emotional story of small towns, rumors, and thirteen missing boys. The Gemini Thief could be anyone. For nearly a decade the Gemini Thief, a serial kidnapper who abducts three boys on June 1st, has terrorized Tennessee. The June Boys being held captive endure thirteen months of being stolen, hidden, observed, and fed before they are released, unharmed, by their masked captor. The Thief is a pro, managing to elude authorities while abducting over twelve boys over the past ten years. No one knows why—but they do know they don’t want to be next. Now Thea Delacroix has reason to believe the Gemini Thief has taken a thirteenth victim: her cousin, Aulus. But the twisted game begins to change: one of the kidnapped boys turns up dead. With the help of her best friends and her boyfriend Nick, Thea is determined to find the Gemini Thief and the remaining boys before it’s too late. Only she’s beginning to wonder something sinister, something repulsive, something unbelievable, and yet, not impossible: What if someone she knows is the Gemini Thief?

Book Synopsis An Ancient Dream Manual by : Peter Thonemann
Download or read book An Ancient Dream Manual written by Peter Thonemann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artemidorus' Oneirocritica ('The Interpretation of Dreams') is the only dream-book which has been preserved from Graeco-Roman antiquity. Composed around AD 200, it comprises a treatise and manual on dreams, their classification, and the various analytical tools which should be applied to their interpretation, making Artemidorus both one of the earliest documented and arguably the single most important predecessor and precursor of Freud. Artemidorus travelled widely through Greece, Asia, and Italy to collect people's dreams and record their outcomes, in the process casting a vivid light on social mores and religious beliefs in the Severan age: this volume, published as a companion to the new translation of The Interpretation of Dreams by Martin Hammond in the Oxford World's Classics series, aims to provide the non-specialist reader with a readable and engaging road-map to this vast and complex text. It offers a detailed analysis of Artemidorus' theory of dreams and the social function of ancient dream-interpretation, while also aiming to foster an understanding of the ways in which Artemidorus might be of interest to the cultural or social historian of the Graeco-Roman world. Alongside chapters on Artemidorus' life, career, and world-view, it also provides valuable insights into his conceptions of the human body, sexuality, the natural world, and the gods; his attitudes towards Rome, the contemporary Greek polis, and the social order; and his knowledge of Greek literature, myth, and history. In addition, its accessible exploration of the differences and similarities between ancient traditions of dream-analysis and modern psychoanalytic approaches will make this volume of interest to anybody with an interest in the history of dreams and dream interpretation.
Book Synopsis Sublime Dreams of Living Machines by : Minsoo Kang
Download or read book Sublime Dreams of Living Machines written by Minsoo Kang and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the dawn of European civilization to the twentieth century, the automaton—better known today as the robot—has captured the Western imagination and provided a vital lens into the nature of humanity. Historian Minsoo Kang argues that to properly understand the human-as-machine and the human-as-fundamentally-different-from-machine, we must trace the origins of these ideas and examine how they were transformed by intellectual, cultural, and artistic appearances of the automaton throughout the history of the West. Kang tracks the first appearance of the automaton in ancient myths through the medieval and Renaissance periods, marks the proliferation of the automaton as a central intellectual concept in the Scientific Revolution and the subsequent backlash during the Enlightenment, and details appearances in Romantic literature and the introduction of the living machine in the Industrial Age. He concludes with a reflection on the destructive confrontation between humanity and machinery in the modern era and the reverberations of the humanity-machinery theme today. Sublime Dreams of Living Machines is an ambitious historical exploration and, at heart, an attempt to fully elucidate the rich and varied ways we have utilized our most uncanny creations to explore essential questions about ourselves.

Download or read book Wolf's Empire: Gladiator written by Claudia Christian and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Galactic Roman Empire, eight noble houses fight for power. One gladiator fights for justice. This is Wolf's Empire: Gladiator, by Claudia Christian and Morgan Grant Buchanan. When her mother and brother are murdered, young noblewoman Accala Viridius cries out for vengeance. But the empire is being torn apart by a galactic civil war, and her demands fall on deaf ears. Undeterred, Accala sacrifices privilege and status to train as a common gladiator. Mastering the one weapon available to her—a razor-sharp discus that always returns when thrown--she enters the deadly imperial games, the only arena where she can face her enemies. But Fortune's wheel grants Accala no favors—the emperor decrees that the games will be used to settle the civil war, the indigenous lifeforms of the arena-world are staging a violent revolt, and Accala finds herself drugged, cast into slavery and forced to fight on the side of the men she set out to kill. Set in a future Rome that never fell, but instead expanded to become a galaxy-spanning empire, Accala's struggle to survive and exact her revenge will take her on a dark journey that will cost her more than she ever imagined.

Book Synopsis The Interpretation of Dreams by : Artemidorus
Download or read book The Interpretation of Dreams written by Artemidorus and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Dreams are products of the mind, and do not come from any external source' Artemidorus' The Interpretation of Dreams (Oneirocritica) is the richest and most vivid pre-Freudian account of dream interpretation, and the only dream-book to have survived complete from Graeco-Roman times. Written in Greek around AD 200, when dreams were believed by many to offer insight into future events, the work is a compendium of interpretations of dreams on a wide range of subjects relating to the natural, human, and divine worlds. It includes the meanings of dreams about the body, sex, eating and drinking, dress, the weather, animals, the gods, and much else. Artemidorus' technique of dream interpretation stresses the need to know the background of the dreamer, such as occupation, health, status, habits, and age, and the work is a fascinating social history, revealing much about ancient life, culture, and beliefs, and attitudes to the dominant power of Imperial Rome. Martin Hammond's fine translation is accompanied by a lucid introduction and explanatory notes by Peter Thonemann, which assist the reader in understanding this important work, which was an influence on both Sigmund Freud and Michel Foucault.
Book Synopsis NOT BY FORCE BUT BY GOOD WILL by : Hannah Bonsey Suthers
Download or read book NOT BY FORCE BUT BY GOOD WILL written by Hannah Bonsey Suthers and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006-12-08 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist in USA Book News National "Best Books 2007" Awards! ́Not by force but by good will ́ reads the inscription over the gate of a market farm in Puteoli, Roman Campania. Quintus the master lives by these words. Lucan his slave defies them. Both are nearly destroyed by them. The fugitive slave Lucan, seeking asylum, crashes the farm gate of Good Will, and Quintus rescues him. ́Slaves, serve your master as you would your Lord, ́ Lucan is told. How can he possibly do that? Quintus sows discontent among his sixteen slaves by choosing Lucan for a companion. Letitia the young slave girl refuses to grow up in defense against the deprived farm slaves. She eyes Lucan and longs for her inevitable marriage to be a bond, not a bondage. An insidious bet regarding Lucan convulses the farm and he runs to the safety of the church. But the church will not let him live a lie. The historical novel, Not By Force But By Good Will, resurrects the grass roots of the fourth Century Roman empire. Like the farmer Quintus, three-fourths of the free populace are rustics, and like Lucan, two-thirds of the populace are slaves. The Emperor Constantine ́s foreign war and civil war triumphs and edicts have momentous impact on Quintus. The draft leaches the farmland of his brothers and their men to defend an overextended front. Excessive production quotas exhaust the soil. Taxes to support the state, to build churches and Constantinople, the New Rome in the East, gut him. Nor can Quintus escape; the Colonate law binds farmers and slaves to the land as serfs. Failing to meet his production and tax quotas, Quintus faces prison, and confiscation of his land and household by the state into vast plantations. Since no free person would marry a serf, anyone seducing or cohabiting with a slave, and the family, are threatened by Constantine ́s morality edicts with the death penalty and seizure of land. Only Lucan can save them. Running from Puteoli to Nicaea, to Rome and back, Lucan experiences the grassroots impact of the Nicene Council of Churches, convened by Constantine, that settles a schism threatening to divide the empire newly united by the sword. The Council gives the Nicene Creed to posterity. The consequences to Lucan ́s life are profound. Peopled with vivid characters, Not by Force but by Good Will explores how slaves like Lucan may have struggled to transcend slavery and obey the scriptural mandate to serve the master as the Lord, even when there was not so much as a whisper of hope for freedom. Readers ́ Comments Good Will is more than a farm. I just finished your book and am so glad that I have read it. Thank you for a lifetime of work, your many rewrites and deep scholarly insights. I was amazed at all of the detail of people ́s lives, places in the Roman Empire, political/military strategies and the trap of slavery that existed. The personal emotion-from anger to hope to love (in all forms!) was moving and clearly felt. I had never thought about Christianity through the eyes of a slave at that time. Now, I am recalling that much of the text of the Old and New Testaments was spoken to people in bondage and with no hope of anything else. Jesus ́ message and writers of the time had them in mind. We think of those words quite differently now. The story kept me wondering right up to the last paragraph. Terry Wollen, veterinarian with Heifer International, Little Rock, AR. 03/20/2007 What it ́s like to live in someone else ́s shoes as a slave. I loved reading this book - I couldn ́t put it down! Wow, what an amazingly engaging immersion in that time - truly spectacular and very enjoyable. It not only opened my eyes but often raised my eyebrows, which is also a very good thing. Janet Huie, biological scientist and teacher, Ithaca, NY. 08/16/2007 An original and exciting read!
