Why It's a Masterpiece at 100 Weeks
I personally can't believe we've been doing 'Why It's a Masterpiece' for almost two years now. At 100 weeks, I have decided to expand and rework 'Why It's a Masterpiece' to include some more pieces of literature and other parts that I think could be quite interesting. This also means that this series of articles is about to get a bit longer than usual.

Book Review: "Josephine" by Carolly Erickson
Josephine is a figure from history that there has been much assumption about - so don't think there is going to be no assumptions in this particular book. Married to Napoleon, from the French aristocracy and within her own right, the empress of France as depicted in the painting by Jacques-Louis David - Josephine is a figure of complexity. There are many things within this book which make it an interesting read for anyone who enjoys learning about French history, especially during the revolutionary eras. But there are also some setbacks which made this book a bit wonky if I'm being honest. Again, it is definitely to do with assumption and how much one can actually assume.

Ikiru and How 'To Live'
I was very lucky to not have money as a young man, and to have certain role models in my life. We borrowed a VCR from a relative, who eventually let us have it when it was clear that we were the bigger film fans, and I began to learn all I could about tracking, setting the time properly (a real rite of passage), and timing it for the shows I would miss due to school and work. I still have a set of tapes neatly arranged and labelled somewhere in my mother's house, and they are also numbered, meaning that I can see where I began and where I ended up.

Book Review: "Ancient Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction" by Julia Annas
I quite like reading about philosophy and well, I know how much some of my favourite older, classic writers were perhaps influenced by these people. For example: how Shakespeare portrayed philosophies written by Aristotle on the stage. But of course, we also have Plato and others who were huge influences on our modern day with The Republic perhaps being one of the most important philosophical texts ever written. We have and don't have original surviving texts by these famed philosophers, but Julia Annas definitely does it justice by going through it in a way that basically anyone can understand. She starts with the problem concerning Medea once Jason decides to marry another woman...
