The Antonius Trilogy's riveting conclusion...
Antonius: Soldier of Fate
Marcus Antonius has it all-power, prestige, a heroic military reputation, and the love of Queen Cleopatra. But as master of Rome's Eastern provinces and kingdoms, he must maintain peace, and in so doing, he sacrifices his own happiness, yoked within a loveless marriage and an eroding alliance. As Octavian's star rises, Marcus must compete with his rival's success, though it leads to an embittered struggle threatening to end their unity.
Once Marcus finally takes matters into his own hands, his fate becomes tied to the East-and Cleopatra. Far from Rome and his seat of power, a horrific campaign to fulfill Julius Caesar's vision will forever alter him. He is a man torn between two countries and two families, and ultimately-a soldier fated to be the catalyst transforming Rome from Republic to Empire.

Описание: Margaret Laurence, best known for her germinal novels set in the Canadian prairies, is one of the nation's most respected authors. She was also an accomplished essayist, yet today her nonfiction writing is largely unavailable and therefore little known. In Recognition and Revelation Nora Foster Stovel brings together Laurence's short nonfiction works, including many that have not previously been collected and some that have never before been published. These works, including over fifty essays and addresses that span Laurence's writing career from the 1960s to the 1980s, reveal her passionate concern for Canadian literature and for the land and peoples of Canada. Based on extensive archival research, Stovel's introduction contextualizes Laurence's nonfiction writings in her life as a creative artist and political activist and as a woman writing in the twentieth century. The texts range from essays on Laurence's own writings and on other works of Canadian literature to autobiographical essays, several focusing on environmental concerns, to sociopolitical essays and writing advocating for peace and nuclear disarmament. By revealing Laurence as a socially and politically committed artist, this collection of lively and provocative essays illuminates the undercurrents of her creative writing and places her fiction - often informed by her nonfiction writing - in a new light.

I Am Not Extraordinary is an autobiographical account of learning to tend equally to one's attitude and environment in order to achieve happiness and fulfillment. From the time she was a child, Margaret knew she was not like the other kids. Every Thursday, an elderly school guidance counselor sat across from her in an empty room, popping bright green chewing gum and drilling into her with questions about why she couldn't focus in class. From then on, Margaret made a promise to herself: If I cannot be ordinary, then I will be extraordinary.
But was this the right approach? Would self-inflicted pressure to succeed really bring her joy in life? Would it ultimately boost her self esteem, even if it nearly destroyed her along the way? This seamless collection of memoirs, found journal entries, and poetry follows a young woman from childhood to the cusp of adulthood, examining several faults of the American education system along the way. This true story calls its readers to examine the implications of a capitalistic society and the devastating effects it can have on the wellbeing of a child. Simultaneously, it serves as a reminder that nothing is ever hopeless.

More Than Things is a collection of essays on a variety of political, cultural, and literary issues, all linked by Margaret Randall’s attention to power: its use, misuse, and impact on how we live our lives. There are texts on sex, fashion, food, LGBT rights, automobiles, forgiving, women’s self-image, writing, books, and more. Two of the essays provide glimpses into present-day Cuba and Tunisia. She reflects on her family; her romantic partners; and the revolutionaries, writers, artists, and activists she has known personally and admired: Roque Dalton, Meridel LeSueur, and Hayd?e Santamar?a.
Randall’s writings move in unexpected directions, evoked by the “things” and ideas in her life: objects picked up around the world, her children’s names, family heirlooms, artistic practices, dreams, poems, and memories. Elegantly weaving together the personal and the political, More Than Things is a tour de force by one of America’s most formidable and elegiac writers and political activists.
