The Roman gladiator has long been a figure of fascination.

We know that these men entertained Roman audiences by fighting in dangerous and often deadly games. But who were the gladiators? What were their lives like? And why do they continue to have such a strong hold on our imagination, centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire?

Mais aux yeux de son jeune ami Théodore, la question du mal restait incompréhensible : pourquoi les hommes peuvent-ils commettre de si grands crimes ?

Story
Socrate va par les rues d'Athènes, interpellant ceux qu'il trouve sur son chemin : Connais-toi toi- même ! Ne te soucie pas des richesses, cherche la vérité et deviens philosophe ! Ce n'est pas du goût des Athéniens. Au terme d'un procès, Socrate est condamné à boire la ciguë. Va-t-il s'enfuir ? Un philosophe doit-il craindre la mort ? Par une froide nuit d'hiver, alors que toute la ville était plongée dans la torpeur, Monsieur Descartes doutait : Se pourrait-il que trois et deux ne fassent pas cinq ? Que le monde, finalement, soit un rêve ?

Story
We take time for granted as it passes during every moment of our existence. Other things may change, but time remains constant and predictable. The past, the present, and the future exist within a harmonious, reliable, and never-changing system. Or at least that’s how it seems… It was Albert Einstein who, in 1905, first theorized that time might not be quite as straightforward as that.

The island city of Tyre along the coast of Lebanon was for centuries an impregnable fortress and key to unlocking Phoenician and Persian power in the Near East.

Alexander's siege of 332 BC was one of the most remarkable events in the classical world. The Siege of Tyre is the first book-length treatment of this critical and fascinating campaign
