The Sweet Revenge of Marcus Aurelius is based on the true story of a talented and ingenious slave who sold his master. When he was still a young house boy, Marcus Aurelius was taught to read and write by the plantation owner's rebellious twelve-year-old daughter, who also instilled in him a passionate desire for freedom. She even encouraged him to escape, which he did - three different times - thus setting in motion his ultimate and sweetest revenge. His story, even without fictionalizing, is a wide-ranging, swash-buckling tale of a fittingly just revenge set against many venues: the cruelties and dehumanizing effects of plantation life, a year in a unique community of escaped slaves in the Great Dismal Swamp, Paris high society in the Second Republic, duels, an enduring love affair, bad dogs and violent slave catchers, crime-ridden New Orleans street life, and even a stint as a passenger on a pirate ship.

Instant New York Times Advice & Business Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller, and Wall Street Journal #1 Bestseller A New York Times Noteworthy Pick and a "stellar work" by Publishers Weekly From the bestselling authors of The Daily Stoic comes an inspiring guide to the lives of the Stoics, and what the ancients can teach us about happiness, success, resilience and virtue. Nearly 2,300 years after a ruined merchant named Zeno first established a school on the Stoa Poikile of Athens, Stoicism has found a new audience among those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. It's no wonder; the philosophy and its embrace of self-mastery, virtue, and indifference to that which we cannot control is as urgent today as it was in the chaos of the Roman Empire. In Lives of the Stoics, Holiday and Hanselman present the fascinating lives of the men and women who strove to live by the timeless Stoic virtues of Courage. Justice. Temperance. Wisdom. Organized in digestible, mini-biographies of all the well-known--and not so well-known--Stoics, this book vividly brings home what Stoicism was like for the people who loved it and lived it, dusting off powerful lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes. More than a mere history book, every example in these pages, from Epictetus to Marcus Aurelius--slaves to emperors--is designed to help the reader apply philosophy in their own lives. Holiday and Hanselman unveil the core values and ideas that unite figures from Seneca to Cato to Cicero across the centuries. Among them are the idea that self-rule is the greatest empire, that character is fate; how Stoics benefit from preparing not only for success, but failure; and learn to love, not merely accept, the hand they are dealt in life. A treasure of valuable insights and stories, this book can be visited again and again by any reader in search of inspiration from the past.
Implementing Housing Allowances in Russia

This text argues that privatisation of state and municipal housing in the Russian Federation is only one of the key elements of housing policy and that it is necessary to plan now for the future of the rental sector. It explains housing reforms to date (August 1992) and offers specific recommendations by: describing current rents and their relationship to family income; establishing the feasibility of creating a programme for increasing rents and introducing payment of housing allowances to the population (using simulations conducted for Moscow City); and analysing alternative versions of a housing allowance programme to determine their effectiveness and results. This book also puts Russia's housing allowance programme into a broader context by contrasting the circumstances in which housing allowance programmes are being introduced in Eastern Europe with conditions existing in North America and Western Europe in the 1970s, when allowances were introduced in many of those countries.

Gaius Marius (158/157-86 BC) has a major transformational impact on the history of the late Roman Republic. Although none of his ancestors had been a member of the Senate, he managed to reach the consulship on seven occasions, and was responsible for a series of major military victories, notably against King Jugurtha in North Africa and the Teutons and the Cimbrians in Southern Gaul and Northern Italy. Much of his internal political agenda, however, was highly controversial. His reform of the army recruitment system was regarded by some (perhaps with undue emphasis) as a crucial factor in the downfall of the Roman Republic. The final years of his life witnessed his exile, his return to Rome at the head of an armed force, and his comeback to power, shortly followed by his sudden death.This volume provides an account of the life and career of Gaius Marius, sets his achievements and failures within the wider context of the decline of the Roman Republic, and discusses his political legacy in the following decades. It also provides an assessment of the main modern interpretations of the man and his policies.

Mujusen toinen tuleminen!Keväällä 1946 vaarallinen vanki karkaa kuljetuksesta juuri ennen Sörnäisten vankilan porttia. Yksikätinen yksityisetsivä Väinö Mujunen saa tehtäväkseen suojella vanhaa heilaansa, joka yritetään heti ampua. Punainen Valpo painostaa Mujusta. Mitä on kaiken takana? Kuka on Marius? Ehtiikö Mujunen pelastaa Ingen - ja itsensä?Tapani Baggen luoma etsivä Väinö Mujunen on seikkaillut halki 1900-luvun kuohuvien vuosikymmenten jo seitsemässä historiallisessa rikosromaanissa. Marius on Mujusen toinen sarjakuva-albumi, jonka Aapo Kukko on sovittanut ja piirtänyt Baggen tarinasta. Ensimmäinen oli vuoteen 1943 sijoittunut sukellusveneseikkailu Harmaa susi (2016).
Lili viettää elokuista hellepäivää puutarhamajassaan vanhan kartanon hakamailla, muinaisessa purolaaksossa, jonka läpi kulkee raitiotie. Hän odottaa Mariusta, ihailemaansa nuorta ranskalaista, saapuvaksi vieraakseen vielä viimeisen kerran. Päivän aikana Lilin rakas ystävä Paul vierailee majalla, ja Lili muistelee heidän yhteistä aikaansa Euroopan kaupungeissa sekä kuumaa romanssiaan Pariisissa. Hän pohtii eroottista historiaansa, ihailemaansa naismaalaria joka maalasi hehkuvia mieskuvia, kuolemaa. Ilta saapuu, Mariusta ei kuulu. Romaanin maailma laajenee yhden päivän rajojen yli kertomukseksi taiteesta, Euroopasta ja syvästä surusta rakkauden ja intohimon poltteen rinnalla. ”Kyllä yhden päivän vielä kestäisi, jaksaisi odotusta, iloa, tätä hiljaista hyrinää”
One of the most important ballet choreographers of all time, Marius Petipa (1818 - 1910) created works that are now mainstays of the ballet repertoire. Every day, in cities around the world, performances of Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty draw large audiences to theatres and inspire new generations of dancers, as does The Nutcracker during the winter holidays. These are his best-known works, but others - Don Quixote, La Bayadère - have also become popular, even canonical components of the classical repertoire, and together they have shaped the defining style of twentieth-century ballet. The first biography in English of this monumental figure of ballet history, Marius Petipa: The Emperor's Ballet Master covers the choreographer's life and work in full within the context of remarkable historical and political surroundings. Over the course of ten well-researched chapters, Nadine Meisner explores Marius Petipa's life and legacy: the artist's arrival in Russia from his native France, the socio-political tensions and revolution he experienced, his popularity on the Russian imperial stage, his collaborations with other choreographers and composers (most famously Tchaikovsky), and the conditions under which he worked, in close proximity to the imperial court. Meisner presents a thrilling and exhaustive narrative not only of Petipa's life but of the cultural development of ballet across the 19th and early 20th centuries. The book also extends beyond Petipa's narrative with insightful analyses of the evolution of ballet technique, theatre genres, and the rise of male dancers. Richly illustrated with archival photographs, this book unearths original material from Petipa's 63 years in Russia, much of it never published in English before. As Meisner demonstrates, the choreographer laid the foundations for Soviet ballet and for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, the expatriate company which exercised such an enormous influence on ballet in the West, including the Royal Ballet and Balanchine's New York City Ballet. After Petipa, Western ballet would never be the same.
Marius Victorinus' Commentary on Galatians

This is the first English translation of Marius Victorinus' commentary on Galatians. Analytical notes, full bibliography, and a lengthy introduction make this book a valuable resource for the study of the first Latin commentator on Paul. No such comparable work exists in English; and this volume engages fully with German, French, and Italian scholarship on Victorinus' commentaries. A number of themes receive special treatment in a lengthy introduction: the relation of Victorinus' exegetical efforts to the trinitarian debates; the iconography of the apostle Paul in mid-fourth-century Rome; Victorinus' exegetical methodology; his intentions as a commentator; and the question of his influence on later Latin commentators (Ambrosiaster and Augustine).
