Daughter. Duhitár-. Dustr. Dukte. Listen to these English, Sanskrit, Armenian and Lithuanian words, all meaning the same thing, and you hear echoes of one of history’s most unlikely journeys. All four languages—along with hundreds of others, from French and Gaelic, to Persian and Polish—trace their origins to an ancient tongue spoken as the last ice age receded. This language, which we call Proto-Indo-European, was born between Europe and Asia and exploded out of its cradle, fragmenting as it spread east and west.

In Plato and the Tyrant, acclaimed historian and classicist James Romm draws on personal letters of Plato to show how a philosopher helped topple the leading Greek power of the era: the opulent city of Syracuse. There, Plato encountered two authoritarian rulers, a father and son both named Dionysius, and tried to steer them toward philosophy. At the same time, he worked on his masterpiece, Republic, in which he conceived a ruler who unites perfect wisdom with absolute power.

With venomous wit and unexpected vulnerability, our serpentine narrator deconstructs the grand deception of contemporary existence. She reveals her true origins as a sacred feminine power, deliberately fragmented, just as humanity now finds itself fractured by the ...

Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-8 BCE) wrote some of ancient Rome's greatest poetry, melding languages and cultures with youthful ideals and a realist's recognition of the dictatorial world around him. Horace is famed for his fine phrases, lyric sex, and guidance on how to live, but he was a poet maddened by war, and many of his most self-revealing poems have rarely been seen. He could be sublime and obscene, amusing and abusive, a model of moderation and anything but.

We have been trained from early childhood to believe only in what “the Science” can explain. What cannot be explained by current criteria does not exist. It’s a legend. A myth. Folklore. Delusion. This book looks to go in the opposite direction of our time’s absolute certainties. I bow to the unknown. I accept our limitations. I substitute certainties for possibilities. I use imagination to try to understand reality. Imagination and reality are not incompatible. Today, the idea of alien intervention stays distant from universities. But it has spread into sci-fi movies, books, ...

With them we find out about the true rediscovery of the Americas after the horrors of the Tower-of-Babel season of war...
