Friends — we're about to start our most exciting read-along yet. The Brothers Karamazov. If you've been on the fence about joining the book club, now's the time. You do not want to miss this. We are reading it over the next 6-7 weeks. First discussion is on August 4, covering Books 1-4. We read Crime and Punishment in May, and followed the harrowing yet illuminating journey of Raskolnikov. But The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky's final and greatest work, takes his moral and spiritual ideas to their utmost height. Many consider it the greatest psychological novel ever written. For those who want to join our "inner circle" and participate in the discussions directly, we are running a discount for 24 hours only... 25% off full membership!! You'll get: - Live book club discussions (biweekly) - Access to our incredible community chat - Essays to guide you through the Great Books - All past recordings, essays, and podcasts - Ability to vote on what we read next athenaeumbooks.com/julyoffer Of course, you may also read along for free and tune into the live broadcasts. Let's make this our biggest read-along ever! See you inside.






YAROSLAV AMOSOV DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HE IS TRYING TO GO VIRAL HERE. He looks like a man who has been holding something back for too long. That is what makes the clip hit harder. Some fighters rage for the camera and you can see the performance in it. Amosov gives a different feeling. Less theatre, more pressure leaking through the cracks. The face is still controlled. The energy is not. And with him, that matters. Because Amosov was already a problem when he was calm. The patience, the grappling, the way he could drag a fight into his pace and make opponents look smaller minute by minute. Now the calm is still there, but it feels heavier. Like the quiet part has stopped being peace and started becoming warning. That is the version people should be careful with. Not a champion begging for attention. A champion who looks like he has finally found the door he wants to break.

South Korea industrialized faster than any other nation. This combined with Confucianism has created the ultimate pressure cooker society. Though, population collapse may be inevitable, I am optimistic for the Korean people. Read my largest work to date, The Making of Modern Korea.
