Saga o dve polovice jedne razdvojene duse se nastavlja. Priča nas uvodi i razrađuje nova i kompleksnija pitanja u zivotu čoveka: pojam vere i Boga, greha i zadovoljstva, značaj i istinitost ljubavi. Da li se razdvojene polovice te jedne celine napokon spajaju i kako izgleda taj spoj? Da li uspevaju prekoračiti prepreke, kako drustvene tako i lične, koje se prostiru između njih? Da li je ljubav vredna bola i da li Bog bas svima sudi isto, i o čemu to ovisi? Sta je greh i ako smo zgresili, da li se ikada i mozemo iskupiti i roditi se ponovo, čisti i sjajni? Da li je zrtva potrebna i, ako jeste, zasto se trazi od nas? "Vir" je druga knjiga trilogije "Samsara".
Vir in Via is a travel guidebook to the modern city of Rome - but with an ancient twist: it brings together a contemporary city walking guide with a traditional archaeological survey. Whether exploring Italy's vibrant capital or delving into its past is your thing, this rich book will prove both useful and fascinating. Detailed itineraries escort us around familiar tourist tracks and lesser-known areas of Rome while imagining that we are accompanied by Josephus Publicus, a fictional inhabitant of the ancient city. Sudbury keeps his - and our - eye on what remnants of the ancient and medieval past can be found in Rome, whether readily visible or buried underground, while our imaginary companion relates tales about his haunts and discovers what they have become. Peeling back layers of topography, Vir in Via reveals unexpected connections between past and present. Digging deep into history, it reveals how Rome has evolved into its modern guise. Walking tours encompass all the most famous landmarks: the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Campo de' Fiori, Colosseum, Roman Forum, Imperial Fora, Villa Borghese and the Seven Hills. But the suggested strolls also explore areas not usually included in guides aimed at casual tourists, such as Pinciano, the Parioli hills - haunts of ancient witches and soothsayers - and modern districts such as Prati, where early emperors had their pleasure gardens. In this unique city of history, culture and much more besides, even the most far-flung parts of the city have an absorbing story to tell. With Vir in Via in your hand, visit 500 churches (many with connections to the pagan past), 24 sets of Roman baths, 32 towers, all 13 original obelisks, 20 sets of catacombs, over 120 fountains. and 6 talking statues. Learn where to find the creepiest crypts, most ghoulish martyrdom frescoes and Roman carvings embedded in street walls, then celebrate by following hot tips on locating the city's very best ice-creams. Whether you are an amateur archaeologist, ancient-history buff or simply a visitor who looks beyond the obvious, let Vir in Via be your guide on an unusual, absorbing tour of Rome.

The year is 28 BC. The Roman Republic stands on the edge of destiny.Whispers echo through marble halls and crowded forums-Gaius Octavian, the shrewd and unyielding Consul, seeks to crown himself Emperor. While Rome's legions conquer lands and crush enemies beyond its borders, a far more insidious threat festers from within-a shadow no sword can cut, and no legion can stop. As the Republic teeters between glory and ruin, one name rises from the ashes of war-Arenius Vesta. The son of a legendary general, Arenius carries more than his father's blood-he bears a power ancient and forgotten, one that could either save the Republic... or doom it forever. The fate of Rome now rests in his hands.
