Prince Rilian’s father is King Caspian X of Narnia. The Prince has disappeared – abducted by evil forces – and efforts to find him have failed. Two children, Eustace Scrubb (known as “Scrubb”) and a newcomer called Jill Pole, return to Narnia where Aslan sets them a task - to find Prince Rilian, the heir to the throne of Narnia. For that reason it is a shade darker than the earlier books in the series, though the points of light and joy burn brightly against that background. It deals with the theme of deception by evil spiritual forces – the devil is a liar by nature and deception is his bread and butter. ![]() It’s a great story and an integral part of the Chronicles of Narnia. ![]()

This operation, called “Arendtian axiomatic reset” allows reclaiming distinctions such the one between public and private or the one between agents, artefacts and nature. Hannah Arendt’s notions of natality and plurality, by anchoring human freedom in beginnings rather than in sovereignty, provide grounding for revisiting the human condition in a hyperconnected era and approaching the related ethical issues with modesty, confidence and amor mundi. Omniscience and omnipotence, if pushed too far, crowd out any sense of freedom, purpose and meaning, even if it is in the name of the best intentions. The digital transition brings us to a point where it is critical to unveil the shortcomings of the excessive centrality of the notion of control in knowledge and in action. ![]() ![]() ![]() The existence of a door now plastered over. ![]() She seems to know things about the house, as if she had visited it before. ![]() She finds the perfect house, which seems to draw her to it, but she keeps experiences odd little moments of seemingly psychic insight.

Drawn from history as recorded by Plutarch, the major characters-Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, and Mark Antony-are complex, as are the twists and turns of their fortunes. Seemingly irreconcilable forces are at work: fate and free will, the changeableness and stubbornness of ambitious men, the demands of public service and the desire for private gain.
