 Tacitus the Sententious Historian: A Sociology of Rhetoric in Annales 1-6 $51.95 This text analyzes the "sententia" as a prominent and revealing rhetorical device with historically conditioned social values. The device is used skilfully in Tacitus's "Annales" Books 1-6, and is also examined in the writings of Anaximenes, Aristotle, Cicero, the elder Seneca and others.  Sententious: Subtly Changing $24.95 Sententious: Subtly Changing is a book about the silent struggle that takes place inside the human mind. It contains six major sections forming a cycle which is centered around this conflict. It questions the nature of reality and the ability of the mind to comprehend it. The individual pieces used to comprise this work seem scattered and disorganized at first glance, but, when viewed as a whole, reveal an inner battle waged for more than ten years by the author. The sections are each set forth with a journal-like narration which seems to ask more questions than they answer, leaving the reader to form his or her own opinion. This book is about being full of emotion; about questioning yourself and subtly changing over time as a result. |
