The History of Eternity by James E. Winder (7 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

You cannot help but wonder what and why you are. The History of Eternity is a book that again and again answers these questions, as it celebrates the tragic joy of wonder at the enigma of your existence. There will always be a clamoring after elusive fact. There will always be a hankering for some durable theory that will explain the fact. There will always be an inability to match the one wholly with the other. Because something is always left out, there will always persist a stubbornly invisible and intractable remainder. And this remainder, this dark matter behind every thought, behind every desire, behind every joy, behind every sorrow, will continue to populate your universe with wonder.

The Aeneid, Book Twelve: Latin Text, with an Introduction and Latin Prose Version and English Summaries (Aeneid Prose Versions 5) by Sean Gabb (Centre for Ancient Studies) Price verified 10 minutes ago

This book contains the complete text of Aeneid XII, together with a rendering into Latin prose and a running summary of the whole in English. Its main intended audience is International Baccalaureate students, for whom this is one of the set texts; as well as A-Level Latin students in England, for whom it will be a set text in 2022 and 2023. A larger and less easily defined audience is anyone, in any time or place, who wants to read Vergil, but whose Latin is not ready for the challenge. I have reordered the words in a more obvious sequence. I have replaced many words with more natural alternatives. I have supplied pronouns and verbs and prepositions that could not be fitted into the metrical structure. I have broken up the paragraphs, and formatted the whole as if it were a novel. The advantage is that the result is still Latin. It is Latin that most A-Level and IB students will be able to read without too much looking in a dictionary -- and not too much headscratching thereafter. ...
