I don’t have an understanding of Hannibal and Scipio yet but I can relate, on a personal level, to the Kipling concept of tragedy and success as possible imposter’s.

Let me advance a bit deeper into the book part…

Do let me know if the basic premise of my book strikes a chord with you, based on your own life. (That, after all, is what the book will attempt to do: to make readers see themselves in Hannibal and Scipio.)

This is 13 days later and not the very, very beginning. Doesn’t change my impression though. I will recruit myself to go back to the 18th. I do want to get a feel of how the Hannibal Blog evolved.

You are obviously a writer, a paid one for that. Makes sense; talent converts into the Kings gold; the world wants it.

Your style is colorful, contrasting and built to entertain. An Indian summer or rebirth of classical thought and an intellectual cabinet of great thought, myth and images long forgotten or never seen.

I decided to look to the roots of your blog having found myself entertained, instructed and surprised by later branches on your tree of philosophical, psychological and scientific import.

On a relatively small time scale I guess I’m beginning with the classics of the Hannibal Blog; before anyone knew about it.

Looking forward to reading your flourishing, yet simple style, bottom up, and taking the lessons.

Our body as a mind map of culture… How useful and instructive.

Exuvia
