Pax

Product Information

A bookcase doesn’t necessarily have to be placed along the wall of a room. It can also be used as a room divider if placed in the middle, with the short side against the wall. This is a great way to create some room for a small workspace or home office. Different walls require different fixing devices Strong messages about finding what's true for you and acting on it. If you've done wrong, make it right. You are not doomed to repeat the same mistakes, even if they run in the family; you can do better. Also, dark as things are, compassion, kindness, and nurturing make life-changing differences. One of the characters frequently uses what she says is a swear word in her late grandfather's unnamed language. Another human character pees on a bush. I read this book and the follow-up book Pax, the Journey Home with my 10-year-old son. He is a sensitive person who doesn't like animal death or other scary elements, but we were able to navigate this book together by me reading alongside him. The chapters alternate between the Boy's perspective and the fox Pax's perspective. I read the "boy" chapters and he read the "pax" chapters. These books were exceptional stories that we both enjoyed. Sometimes I needed to stop and answer his questions and help him process what was happening. Yes, the story takes place during a war and the boy abandons his pet fox, Pax. This is important because the whole story revolves around them finding one another again. There are themes of loss, bad people in the world; death; war; abandonment, and struggle. There is also a lot of love, hope, recovery, resilience, and friendship. My son tends to lose interest in books part way through and he wanted to finish both of these books. Highly recommend that you read these two books with your child, we had a very lovely experience.

The emperor Trajan, who ruled from 98 to 117 and took Rome’s territory to its greatest recorded extent, certainly felt the tension between maintaining control and satisfying the innate Roman desire for conquest, as became evident in his invasion of Parthia in his final years. He had hoped to follow in the footsteps of Alexander the Great by subduing Mesopotamia and crossing into India, but realised he had overreached. The eruption of a rebellion in Mesopotamia prevented him from fully transforming the territory into a Roman province; he died shortly afterwards. Attempts to impose peace did not always bring contentment. A bookcase or bookshelf is an essential piece of furniture in almost every home. If it's not for a home library, it can be a home for your children's toys. And if it's not toys, you can use it for important papers and folders in a home office. The options are endless.

Trajan could nevertheless claim to have upheld the Pax Romana, thanks to his earlier work in Dacia (present-day Romania), which inspired many of the scenes on the Column at the centre of the Forum that both bear his name today. It was his fortune to go down in history as one of the “good” emperors. As Holland explains, however, Trajan’s reputation might have been very different had it not been for his “bad” predecessor-but-one, Domitian, who ruled from 81 to 96 and laid much of the groundwork. According to the later Historia Augusta (an entertaining yet notoriously unreliable source), Trajan ungratefully wrote Domitian off as “a terrible emperor, but one who had excellent friends”. One realises while reading Holland’s book just how much an emperor’s record was determined by the circumstances he inherited.

To rule as Caesar,” writes historian and The Rest is History podcaster Tom Holland, “was to drive the chariot of the Sun.” Pull the reins too tight, and one risked plunging the Roman empire into chaos; not tight enough, and the entire system of governance could crash. By the mid-2nd-century AD, the point at which Holland’s latest book ends, Rome ruled from Scotland to Arabia, a stretch so large that even a divine chariot might have struggled to overfly it in one go. Many an emperor had his fingers burned while striving to keep a grip on his growing domain. It was a bold imperial adviser who uttered the name of Icarus.
