Married at First Sight UK's Peggy Rose and GeorgesBerthonneau confirm they ARE still together after fans feared they'd split following reunion It might, however, be a bit too clever for its own good. It was only on the second reading that I noticed all the similarities between the structure and style of this book and of an Aristotelian tragedy and began really to appreciate it as such. It is not narrative history of the likes of Tom Holland and is not, therefore, such an easy read, while the arrangement and focus of the chapters can lead to some glaring examples of repetition.

Ancient Lives unfolds the stories of thinkers, writers, kings, queens, conquerors, and politicians from all parts of the ancient world. In this original piece, Peter Stothard discusses the metallic greed of Marcus Licinius Crassus (115–53 BCE), Rome’s richest man, who died a humiliating desert death in search of military glory.

Stothard’s book is part of Yale University Press’s Ancient Lives series. Alongside Crassus in the series so far are lives of Cleopatra VII, Ramses II, and Demetrius I Poliorcetes (“The Besieger”). Crassus is the non-royal in the group; there was no throne that he aimed to obtain or keep. His ambitions remain obscured, and while his ancient biographer Plutarch paints avarice as Crassus’ main driver, his career and actions suggest more varied motives. Paley’s CBS is now part of the media empire founded by Sumner Redstone who died in 2020. Not every tycoon finds the right biographer but Hagey, a reporter on the Wall Street Journal, gives a vivid and nuanced account of how a “mad genius” came to dominate so much while staying much less known than his rivals. Hagey explores deeply the father-daughter relationship, so central to tycoon-watchers. Shari Redstone is on the way to needing her own biographer as a tycoon herself.

The marble busts that now appear stark, blank stones were once painted in vivid colors that made them seem fully human. The Ancient Livesseries is founded on the conviction that what has been lost —the psychological depth of the biographical portrait—can be recovered. Authors draw on both expertise and imagination as they explore the meanings of ancient lives.”—James Romm, Series Editor forAncient Lives The intense violence that sporadically convulsed the period known as the Late Roman Republic (133-27 BC) sets Crassus’s story apart from those of modern tycoons. As a young man during the civil wars between rival senators Marius and Sulla, Crassus saw his father’s head fastened to the Rostra, the speakers’ platform in the Roman Forum. The same spate of violence had claimed the life of an older brother. Crassus fled with a small group of friends and slaves from Rome to Spain, where he had family connections. For months he lived secretly in a cave there and bided his time until the more competent of his enemies at Rome died. But like many political leaders, he was burdened by an overreaching ambition, and the sense that some of the glories of ancient Rome were being withheld from him. Above all, he craved a triumphant march through Rome after great military deeds. Princess Martha Louise shares snaps of her partying after winning business woman of the year for her clothing brand at Elle Norway GalaThe uniqueness of Stothard’s account of the tumultuous final decades of the Roman Republic is in a new east-west narrative in which we see the inner workings of Rome as well as the vibrancy—however brief in the narrative—of Parthia. . . . Stothard’s little biography of Crassus offers glimpses into other great civilizations and peoples during the first century B.C.”—Paul Krause, Merion West Julius Caesar and Mark Antony live on, thanks to their rivalry, their dual infatuation with Cleopatra, and of course Shakespeare. But the third man in the triumvirate that grabbed power from the collapsing Republic is almost forgotten now. But he wasn’t forgotten, or forgiven, by his fellow Romans for his ignominious defeat, indeed wipe-out, by the Parthians at the battle of Carrhae (53 BC).

This unfinished classic novel, published posthumously in 1941, shows a movie man’s deep personal impetus for seeing, concentrating and expanding power, the rare mark of the tycoon. “These lights, this brightness, these clusters of human hope, of wild desire – I shall take these lights in my fingers. I shall make them bright, and whether they shine or not, it is in these fingers that they shall succeed or fail.” Omid Scobie accusesPrince Edward and Sophie of 'a screw up' - and says remarks they made them seem 'casually bigoted'
