    About this ebook

    Quintus Curtius is an attorney, writer, translator, and former Marine officer. Expertly blending history, biography, philosophy, and the author's personal experience, this penetrating collection of essays achieves what one reviewer called “a perfect fluency in [a] dialogue with truth.”

    The unifying theme of the book is the nature of masculine identity, and how that identity has been manifested.

    The range of topics explored is diverse: the nature of human wisdom, courage in adversity, redemption through suffering, the endurance of hardships, educational development, character in history, the mystical experience, the fickleness of Fate, and the necessity of myths.

    Drawing on examples from history and using sources in their original languages, Quintus Curtius's soaring vision combines lucid explanation with a passionate intensity like few other writers. Erudite, thoughtful, and frequently moving, this unique book has been described as "inexplicably inspiring."

    Quintus Curtius

    Quintus Curtius is a writer dealing with historical, philosophical, and moral subjects, with an emphasis on character and its contemporary meaning. His first book, "Thirty Seven", is a collection of essays studying the essence of the masculine identity, and how that identity can best be shaped. Drawing on the experiences and hard lessons of history, Quintus frames the principles of the male experience in a unique and engaging way. His second book, "Pantheon: Adventures in History, Biography, and the Mind" is a richly textured work that continues and expands on the themes of "Thirty Seven." Particular attention is devoted to character in history and its responses to adversity. A special section on Neoplatonism provides an authoritative yet accessible synopsis of this important philosophical system. He can be found at: www.qcurtius.com.

      I’ve always had a thing for islands. I fished five islands in the North-east, by boat and from shore, for so many years that I consider them home waters. Most of the large stripers I’ve taken have come off four of those islands, which are swept daily
