A short background
After two decades spent in silence to finish an existentially challenging book, I am now dropwise presenting portions of this work and thoughts it generated.
My educational background is a Ph.D. in history of philosophy. I know many languages, both ancient and modern.
All translations in my publications are my own unless otherwise indicated. Where I quote the work of other translators, they are always human, chosen for proper quality. Meaning is the most precious treasure we have as humans.

Rustica is a pen name, chosen because rusticus in Latin means a fool, which I am, a virtue from necessity, one might say. It’s a long story, maybe I’ll tell it some time.
Cordially,
Maria Rustica.
