Book Description
The Notes of the Gallic War (Lat. Commentarii de Bello Gallico) is a work by Gaius Julius Caesar in which in eight books he described his conquest of Gaul in 58-50 BC, as well as the two crossings of the Rhine and the landing in Britain in a precise, concise and energetic manner. The exact date of his writing is unknown. The last book after Caesar's death was completed by Aulus Hirtius, who prefaced it with his epistle to Balbo. Caesar narrates in the third person, mentioning in passing invaluable geographical and ethnographic details (e.g., the most detailed description of the Druids). The Latins called comments what we call notebooks today, that is, where notes are entered for memory. Only they were made in ancient Rome on waxed tablets, specially processed so that the wax hardened quickly and the tablet could be stored for a long time. According to the title, Caesar's book is a dry summary of the events of the war in Gaul (France, Belgium, England, which Caesar himself called inhospitable and of no value for conquest) in the middle of the first century BC and the actions of the author as a commander and ruler. This book also contains Notes on the Civil War (lat. Commentarii de Bello Civili) on the civil war in Rome 49-45 BC, which act as a continuation of the Notes on the Gallic War. It is assumed that the "Notes" were written in 47 BC. – between the wars in Alexandria and Spain – and were not completed.

Book Description
Jack Elliot is stepping into midlife on top of his game. The flip, wise-cracking professor is up for tenure at a prestigious college and his books sell like hotcakes from coast to coast. He’s living the good life in a posh Connecticut shoreline town with all the trappings: marble fireplaces, sandy beaches, private boarding schools. The man is hitting on all cylinders and his future never seemed brighter. That is, until the bottom falls out. In a blink, seemingly every aspect of Jack’s world gets turned upside down. He faces trumped up academic harassment charges, discovers his wife has been unfaithful and his teenage son bullied by high school thugs. Enter the seductive and mysterious Rachel Pond into Jack’s life as well as troubling memories from a family swimming pool party that went horribly wrong, and suddenly he has more on his plate than he can handle. Such circumstances take their toll, and the seemingly ordinary Elliot family is thrust down a path of uncertainty and upheaval it never intended to take. This becomes a tale of the spiritual emptiness that plagues families who seem to have it all, the emotional frailty that can strike anyone or any time without warning. As events run head-on into each other, the truth of the Elliots’ inner demons come closer to the surface: a father in a rush to make a living, a mother creating a world of escape and diversion, a teenage son secretly battling his own guilt and demons. Each has thrown up walls of isolation and protection, resulting in strangers living under the same roof. This is a tale of death and rebirth, a story about a family whose lives have been rearranged and redefined by tragedy. The Way Back conveys simple messages about the complexities of life: how we need to accept our loved ones just as they are, their gifts and beauty along with their flaws and inner pain. In so doing, we discover what matters most.
