Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
A sextet of sceptic texts has been collected in Stoic Six Pack 4 -
The Sceptics: Pyrrhonic Sketches by Sextus Empiricus, Life of
Pyrrho by Diogenes Laertius, Sextus Empiricus and Greek Scepticism
by Mary Mills Patrick, The Greek Sceptics: from Pyrrho to Sextus by
Norman MacColl, Stoics and Sceptics by Edwyn Bevan and Life of
Carneades by Diogenes Laertius. A key concept for the sceptics was
ataraxia ("tranquility"), a Greek term used by Pyrrho to describe a
lucid state of robust tranquility, characterized by ongoing freedom
from distress and worry. By applying ideas of what he called
"practical skepticism" to Ethics and to life in general, Pyrrho
concluded that ataraxia could be achieved. Arriving at a state of
ataraxia became the ultimate goal of the early Skeptikoi.

It's 1850 when Edmund and Esther Allan and their young son arrive
by river raft in the Fox Valley and Edmund stakes his claim on what
he believes to be the perfect site for their homestead-a beautiful
hill overlooking 150 acres of valleys and forests. Little does he
know that the Indians have already nicknamed the site "The Hill of
Many Sorrows."
Stubborn as ever, Edmund will never admit the drawbacks of
living on the hill even after the Allan family loses their first
crop to a drought. After a surprise blizzard, their provisions run
low and Esther sinks into deep despair as the long, harsh Wisconsin
winter drags on. But it is not long before Esther is befriended by
Sleeping Turtle, an elderly Winnebago squaw who teaches her not
only how to survive in the wilderness, but also gives her a new
perspective on life. With the squaw's help, Esther starts a
business while Edmund harvests his first successful crop. But just
as the growing family finally realizes prosperity, a fatal disaster
reveals a devastating betrayal.
Now, with her family facing financial ruin, Esther must summon
the courage to pull them through their worst crisis.
