Septimius Severus was Romes black emperor. Born in the blistering heat of a North African spring in Leptis Magna AD 145, he died in the freezing cold of a northern British winter in York in AD 211. A giant of an emperor, whose career can be counted in superlatives, Severus was in power at the height of Romes might. He led the largest army to ever campaign in Britain, comprising 50,000 men, part of a Roman military establishment which peaked at 33 legions under his rule.Born into the richest family, in the richest part of the Roman Empire, Severus monumentalised his rule across the empire. He visited - and often fought in - every region. Where he did, he left a mighty legacy in the built environment, for example in Rome where much of the Forum Romanum and most of the imperial palaces are Severan. In North Africa, his hometown of Leptis Magna is all Severan, as are the Roman cities at the Atlas mountains. In London, the land walls that still define the Citys Square Mile were delineated under his rule. Visitors to the under croft at York Minster can stand where he died.Septimius Severus was one of the greatest warrior emperors, a hard man who almost died in battle several times and whose attitude is reflected in his deathbed advice to two sons: Be of one mind with your family, enrich the soldiers, and despise the rest.

Those who go through life attentively recognize many connections and inevitably come across the question: Is the world a coincidence or is everything predetermined by God? And what role do we ourselves play in this with our own actions?Especially in our turbulent times, the attentive observer has many opportunities and points of reference to reflect on themselves and their surroundings and thus experience or relive karmic currents. Perhaps you can learn a lot about yourself or gain new insights, revisit places and times from your past, and understand your own karmaan experience that can point the way forward.

Many Christians today no longer expect the return of Jesus and therefore live without the promised living hope of the Gospel. Their focus is only on this world and how it can be improved. A lack of knowledge of the Word of God and centuries of false teaching have obscured the view of the unique position of the church as the bride of Christ! From the abundance of biblical statements, the author demonstrates the richness of the inheritance of the children of God. Focused on this divine goal, it fundamentally changes life as a follower of Jesus. Filled with inexpressible joy and gratitude, it renews above all the first love for the one who has acquired this inheritance for his bride: The Lord Jesus Christ!

Cada página, un espejo de tus emocionesEn el año 2009, Gabriel Rolón publicaba su segundo libro. Después del éxito rotundo y casi sin precedentes de Historias de diván, llegaba a las librerías Palabras cruzadas para reconfirmar el lugar central de su autor en la industria editorial de los ultimos veinte años en la Argentina. Pero tambien y en esto marca un verdadero hito terminaba de consolidar un vinculo inedito hasta ese momento entre el Psicoanalisis y un publico lector cada vez mas numeroso. Y no era para menos. En ese camino que el libro proponia propone, en ese transito desde el dolor hacia la verdad, los casos narrados dejaban honda su huella en quienes se atrevian al desafio. La angustia, los miedos, la sexualidad, el amor y el desamor, las adicciones y la soledad se dan cita en un viaje que paciente y psicoanalista emprenden juntos. Una travesia las mas de las veces dolorosa, si, pero que una vez cumplida se vive como transformadora, poderosa, irreductiblemente humana. En esta edicion definitiva y revisada, que incluye un caso nuevo, Rolon se lee a si mismo. Se anima a interpelar ese reflejo que le devuelve un espejo anclado en una sociedad otra en la que los debates por las politicas de genero, la legalidad del consumo de marihuana y los usos disruptivos de la lengua de un idioma, entre otras cosas, no tenian ni la visibilidad ni el peso especifico que tienen hoy. Y es ahi, en ese gesto genuino, tan franco y veraz hacia los lectores (los de entonces, los de ahora), en donde el autor hace que Palabras cruzadas se vuelva, una vez mas, un libro vital, organico, indispensable.

Un viaje milenario: la Torá como espejo de nuestras búsquedas, pérdidas y esperanzasEste libro sigue un viaje que tuvo lugar hace miles de años y que hoy continúa: el viaje de la Torá, el texto que contiene la ley y el patrimonio identitario del pueblo judio. Las preguntas que ponen la maquinaria en funcionamiento son conocidas: de donde venimos, hacia donde vamos. Y entre ellas, la necesidad de sostener un sentido, un proyecto, la fe en que hay un horizonte. O la voluntad de crearlo. "El libro del que me ocupare en estas paginas sigue increiblemente vivo y vigente dice la autora. Las experiencias que alli se relatan nos incumben y nos tocan, tal vez mucho mas de lo que creemos. ¿O no somos criaturas expulsadas de un imaginario paraiso, arrojadas a la intemperie y obligadas a aprender estrategias para sobrevivir en un mundo hostil? ¿No hemos sido salvados, mas de una vez, de algun diluvio existencial? ¿Quien no se ha visto en la necesidad imperiosa de cortar amarras, aventurarse a lo desconocido y dejar atras viejos dioses como lastres? ¿Acaso atravesar el desierto no es una frase que nombra con precision una experiencia vital: la posibilidad de internarse en territorio ignoto y peligroso para, no sin zozobras y temores, arribar a algun sitio de reparo y consuelo donde poder construir una casa segura y un hogar prospero?".
