Rooma, keisari Nero ja vuosi 62 - kauhun vuosi monien aikalaisten ja jälkipolvienkin silmissä. Tuon vuoden kohtalokkaisiin hetkiin keskittyy Octavia, ainoa meille säilynyt roomalainen historiallisiin tositapahtumiin perustuva murhenäytelmä, joka ilmestyy nyt ensi kertaa suomeksi. Viisitoistavuotiaana Nero oli naitettu itseään pari vuotta nuoremman Octavian, keisari Claudiuksen tyttären kanssa. Seuraavana vuonna Nerosta tuli äitinsä Agrippinan juonimana Rooman keisari. Neuvonantajaksi ja opettajaksi pojalleen äiti oli määrännyt stoalaisen filosofi Senecan, maineikkaan runoilijan, kirjailijan ja tiedemiehen. Hetken kaikki saattoi näyttää menevän hyvin. Mutta kun nuoren keisarin elämään astui kaunis, kokenut ja kohtalokas Poppaea Sabina, Octaviasta tuli Nerolle este ja rasite, josta tämä halusi eroon - keinolla millä hyvänsä. Senecan viisaat neuvot kaikuivat kuuroille korville.Octavia-tragedia on kulkenut meille Senecan itsensä nimissä. Vaikka monet nykytutkijat ovat pitäneet sitä epäperäisenä, suomentajat ovat päätyneet uskomaan sen sittenkin suurella todennäköisyydellä aidoksi. Mikäli tämä on totta, näytelmään on dramatisoitu ensi käden tietoa julman Neron hovista.Stoalainen filosofi Seneca (n. 4 eaa. - 65. jaa.) kirjoitti runoja, luonnontieteellisiä tutkielmia, elämänviisautta ja moraalikysymyksiä käsitteleviä dialogeja, laajan kirjekokoelman, Kirjeet Luciliukselle - Epistulae morales ad Lucilium (suom. Antti T. Oikarinen), sekä yhdeksän tai kymmenen tragediaa, joista tätä ennen on suomennettu neljä: Medeia, Thyestes, Faidra ja Oidipus (suom. Antti T. Oikarinen ja Maija-Leena Kallela).Kääntäjät Antti T. Oikarinen ja Maija-Leena Kallela ovat molemmat pitkän linjan latinisteja, joilta on ilmestynyt useita suomennoksia.
Octavia, Daughter of God: The Story of a Female Messiah and Her Followers

The little-known story of the charismatic, utopian leader Octavia and her devoted followers in the interwar years In 1919, in the wake of the upheaval of World War I, a remarkable group of English women came up with their own solution to the world's grief: a new religion. At the heart of the Panacea Society was a charismatic and autocratic leader, a vicar's widow named Mabel Bartlrop. Her followers called her Octavia, and they believed that she was the daughter of God, sent to build the New Jerusalem in Bedford.When the last living members of the Panacea Society revealed to historian Jane Shaw their immense and painstakingly preserved archives, she began to reconstruct the story of a close-knit utopian community that grew to include seventy residents, thousands of followers, and an international healing ministry reaching 130,000 people. Shaw offers a detailed portrait of Octavia and describes the faith of her devoted followers who believed they would never die. Vividly told, by turns funny and tragic, Octavia, Daughter of God is about a moment at the advent of modernity, when a generation of newly empowered women tried to re-make Christianity in their own image, offering a fascinating window into the anxieties and hopes of the interwar years.

A double collection of Mike Hoffman's popular Octavia novelettes The white-haired mistress of a remote Spanish castle conducts unholy experiments. Is she a sorceress or a mad scientist? And woe to any mere mortal who might interfere with her nefarious plans
Octavia Hill (1838–1912) is today best remembered as one of the founders of the National Trust. However, her involvement in education and social reform, and particularly housing, was a large part of her work. Shocked at the poverty and overcrowding she found in London slums, she began to acquire and improve properties which would restore the tenants' dignity and self-respect. She organized a team of volunteer 'district visitors' to help the residents, and especially children, to achieve a better quality of life, including the provision of open spaces, training and recreational amenities. She was considerably influenced by Rev. F.D. Maurice, theologian and social worker, whose son, the editor of this work, married Octavia's sister Emily. The letters from which the 'life' is compiled show her extraordinary ability as an organiser, her humanity, and how much effort she put into her various activities, often overworking until she became ill.

Octavia Hill was a key figure in the open spaces and housing movement and one of the founders of the National Trust. Her legacy continues today in the form of many active bodies such as the modern National Trust, the Open Spaces Society and the Family Welfare Association. First published in 1928, this work is a collection of Octavia Hill’s early letters, edited by her sister Emily Southwood Maurice. The letters throw considerable light on the difficulties she encountered in the tenements and how she first realised the principles on which she would later act. This book will be of interest to those studying the history of social welfare and poverty.
