Never before have Marcus’s insights been so directly and powerfully presented. In fresh and unencumbered English, Hays vividly conveys the spareness and compression of the original Greek text. In Gregory Hays’s new translation-the first in thirty-five years-Marcus’s thoughts speak with a new immediacy. For anyone who struggles to reconcile the demands of leadership with a concern for personal integrity and spiritual well-being, the Meditations remains as relevant now as it was two thousand years ago. Marcus’s insights and advice-on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others-have made the Meditations required reading for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of ordinary readers have responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style. A series of spiritual exercises filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behavior, it remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. Nearly two thousand years after it was written, Meditations remains profoundly relevant for anyone seeking to lead a meaningful life.įew ancient works have been as influential as the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, philosopher and emperor of Rome (A.D.

Not everyone is happy about it, though, and will do everything in their power to bring down the Empire. Lin, the Emperor’s daughter, is determined to be named heir, doing everything in her power to learn how to code the constructs. At the age of eight, every child goes through the Tithing Festival and has a chip of bone taken from their skull to be stored in the palace until it’s needed to power a construct.

Could she redeem her writing reputation with this new book? Redemption for… Gamache, Beauvoir, the Morrows and a couple of art professorsĪfter the bang-bang, shoot-shoot excitement of the previous book, How the Light Gets In, and its facile ending, I wondered where Penny would go with this 10th book featuring Chief Inspector Gamache.

The show officially closed on Broadway on April 16, 2023, but it has already cemented its place among theatre's most influential classics.

The book was a solid hit upon release, but it wasn't a ground-breaking title in the manner of fellow French authors like Victor Hugo. In his classic novel, Leroux imagined the opera house in the thrall of a mysterious ghost-like figure who wreaks havoc and longs for music. Leroux was inspired by the story of a freak accident that happened at the Palais Garnier in Paris years before, wherein a counterweight to the opera house's lavish chandelier crashed through the ceiling and killed a concierge. In 1910, French writer Gaston Leroux released The Phantom of the Opera, a pulp-style murder mystery he had first published as a serialization in the newspaper Le Gaulois. |
