Book Description
Tolle Lege, take up and read! These words from St. Augustine perfectly describe the human condition. Reading is the universal pilgrimage of the soul. In reading we journey to find ourselves and to save ourselves. The ultimate journey is reading the Great Books. In the Great Books we find the struggle of the human soul, its aspirations, desires, and failures. Through reading, we find faces and souls familiar to us even if they lived a thousand years ago. The unread life is not worth living, and in reading we may well discover what life is truly about and prepare ourselves for the pilgrimage of life.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare's Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra: Edited, With Notes Similar study in the case of Antony. In the nature of An tony, as-in the nature of Macbeth, there is a moral fault or flaw, which circumstances discover, and which in the end works his destruction. In each play the pathos is of the same kind - it lies in the gradual severing Of a man, through the 'lust of power or through the lust of pleasure, from his better self. By the Side of Antony, as by Macbeth's side, there stood a terrible force, in the form of a woman, whose function it was to realize and ripen the unorganized and nu developed evil of his soul. Antony's Sin was an inordinate passion for enjoyment at the expense of Roman virtue and manly energy; a prodigality of heart, a superb egoism of pleasure. After a brief interval, Shakspere went on to ap ply his imagination to the investigating of another form of egoism - not the egoism of self-diffusion, but of self-concem tration. AS Antony betrays himself and his cause through his sin of indulgence and laxity, SO Coriolanus does violence to his own soul and to his country through his sin of haughti ness, rigidity, and inordinate pride. Thus an ethical tend ency connects these two plays, which are also connected in point Of time; while and Cleopafm, although bistori cally a continuation of gum Cwsar, stands separated from it, both in the chronological order Of Shakspere's plays and in the logical order assigned by successive developments of the conscience, the intellect, and the imagination Of the dramatist.
