In Shakespeare’s Tragic Mirror, Boris Kriger takes listeners on a provocative journey through eight of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies — Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, and Coriolanus — revealing them not as museum pieces of English literature, but as living instruments of self-knowledge.

In 1602, Tommaso Campanella sat in a Neapolitan dungeon, broken by torture, and wrote a vision of paradise. His City of the Sun has been celebrated for four centuries as a founding document of utopian thought—a dream of perfect harmony, collective ownership, and philosopher-kings governing according to cosmic wisdom.

Epicteto foi um conferencista que não deixou escritos filosóficos. Felizmente, os aspectos principais de sua filosofia foram preservados para as gerações futuras por um de seus dedicados alunos, o historiador Flávio Arriano. Arriano transcreveu meticulosamente em grego um número considerável de palestras de seu mestre para um amigo. Essas palestras, conhecidas como os Discursos [ou Diatribes], foram originalmente reunidas em oito livros, dos quais apenas quatro subsistiram até nossos dias.
