Alexander the Great Audiobook | Ada Russell’s Biography of Conquest, Leadership & Legacy ✨ Catholic Star-Rated Review ★★★★☆ (4.5/5 Stars) Alexander the Great by Ada Russell presents a compelling portrait of one of history’s most influential figures, Alexander the Great. Through vivid storytelling, the audiobook explores ambition, leadership, and the pursuit of greatness across the ancient world. From a Catholic perspective, the narrative invites reflection on the proper use of power, the limits of earthly glory, and the enduring importance of virtue over conquest. While Alexander’s achievements are extraordinary, his life also serves as a reminder that human greatness, when detached from moral truth, can lead to both triumph and tragedy. Listeners are encouraged to consider the contrast between temporal success and eternal values—highlighting the importance of humility, prudence, and the pursuit of the true good. The audiobook offers both historical insight and an opportunity for deeper reflection on leadership and legacy. A fascinating listen for those interested in history, philosophy, and the moral dimensions of power.

Helen, the woman who saved me. Or at least she tried to.

Book Review: “Knife-Woman: The Life of Louise Bourgeois” by Marie-Laure Bernadac | Glasstire Lauren Moya Ford reviews Marie-Laure Bernadac’s recent book on the life of Louise Bourgeois, which draws heavily from the artist’s diaries.

"The book’s incorporation of so much of the artist’s unfiltered voice grants readers unprecedented access into her complex and at times shocking inner world."
