Ghosts is a play by the legendary Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. Written in 1881, the play is a scathing commentary on 19th-century morality. Its controversial subject matter includes frank discussions of incest, euthanasia, criticism of religion, and venereal disease, a basket of deplorable themes that scandalized Victorian society. Ghosts is the story of Helen Alving, a widow who is haunted by the many mistresses of her deceased husband and by her troubled son. The theme is a refutation of the idea that one ought to sacrifice one’s dreams on the altar of duty.

A Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov was published in 1840. Set in the Russian Caucasus in the 1830s, the novel relates a series of adventures by the military officer Pechorin during his travels in the Caucasus.

Of the two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer, The Odyssey serves to some extent as a sequel to The Iliad. The poem describes the journey home of Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, after the fall of Troy. In the Greek sources, the Trojan War lasted 10 years, and Odysseus spent 10 more years on the return journey due to the hostility of Poseidon, the god of earth and sea. Odysseus' fantastical adventures include a period of captivity on Calypso’s island, a visit to the lethargic lotus eaters, an encounter with a one-eyed Cyclops, and more.

In The Life of Cicero, Plutarch details the priceless contributions Cicero made to Roman society. He translated the works of Greek philosophers into Latin, gained acclaim as an orator and lawyer, and was elected to office. Politics ultimately got the better of him, however, and his life ended in assassination while in exile. Cicero’s ideas live on through his body of work, but to learn about the man himself, Plutarch’s biography is an excellent starting point.

¿Cómo se hubieran narrado los grandes acontecimientos históricos si hubiesen existido los medios de hoy en día? ¿Qué crónica habría hecho un corresponsal desde el campo de batalla de Waterloo el 28 de octubre de 1815? ¿Y uno que se hubiera desplazado a Puerto Palos de la Frontera el 3 de agosto de 1492 a retransmitir en directo el zarpaje de Cristobal Colón hacia las Indias? En La Historia en directo repasamos los principales eventos de la historia contemporánea desde una redacción de noticias de radio y TV tal y como haríamos en pleno siglo XXI.

Le montagne esistono perché noi possiamo scalarle, possiamo camminarci, possiamo sciarci? Ha senso, in un ecosistema così fragile, perseguire un modello di sviluppo fondato sulla crescita, sull’aumento anno dopo anno di turisti e di impianti? Perché altre culture, dall’Himalaya alle Ande, hanno immaginato l’esistenza di montagne sacre, luoghi da cui l’uomo dovesse restare lontano? Cosa ci insegna questa idea di limite? Se sulle carte geografiche non esistono più spazi bianchi e inesplorati, in montagna non esistono più vette inviolate, in particolare sulle Alpi.

In the modern workplace, productivity, performance, and profit are measured with relentless precision. Quarterly reports, KPIs, and bottom lines often dictate the pace and tone of organizational life. But beneath the surface—behind every graph and performance metric—lies an often overlooked but profoundly important reality: the mental health of employees. It is an invisible current, flowing through boardrooms and break rooms alike, shaped more than anything by one variable—leadership. Leadership is the keystone of any workplace environment.
