Sinopsis

On the Sublime is a foundational text in literary criticism, attributed to the 1st-century philosopher Longinus. This treatise explores the nature of aesthetic expression, articulating what constitutes the sublime in literature and oratory. Longinus dissects various examples from classical texts, employing a rhetorical style rich in examples and persuasive techniques, while advocating for the emotional impact that great works can evoke. His analysis not only emphasizes elevated language and grandeur but also delves into the psychological and philosophical underpinnings of how artists can transcend mere representation to touch on profound truths, situating the work within the broader context of Hellenistic thought on beauty and rhetoric. Longinus's insights are shaped by his experiences as a scholar in a Hellenistic milieu, where the appreciation of art and rhetoric was paramount. As a critic, he navigated the tensions between emotional response and technical excellence, a lens through which he examined both contemporary and historical works. His profound understanding of the capabilities of language reflects a lifetime immersed in the contemplation of art and its effect on human sensibility, providing a framework that resonates throughout subsequent centuries of literary analysis. For those interested in the enduring legacy of literary theory, On the Sublime is an essential read. Longinus not only defines the sublime but also inspires writers and critics alike to strive for greatness in their expressive endeavors. This text serves as both a historical document and an invaluable guide for anyone seeking to comprehend the profound depths of beauty in literature.

    "Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil" is a book written by William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, an American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, and writer. The book was first published in 1920 and is a collection of essays, poems, and sketches that reflect on the experiences of African Americans in the United States. 
    The title of the book, "Darkwater," refers to the "veil" that Du Bois believes separates African Americans from white Americans. This veil is a metaphor for the racial divide in American society and the ways in which black people are excluded from full participation in American life. 
    The essays in "Darkwater" cover a wide range of topics, including the history of slavery and the Jim Crow era, the role of religion in African American communities, the relationship between black people and the natural world, and the struggles of black women. The book also includes several personal essays in which Du Bois reflects on his own experiences as a black man in America. 
    "Darkwater" is considered a groundbreaking work in African American literature and is widely regarded as one of Du Bois's most important books. The themes and ideas explored in the book continue to be relevant today and have influenced generations of writers and activists.

    Stonewall Jackson’s Most Famous...

    Confederate general Thomas Jonathan Jackson had been a virtual unknown upon his arrival at the front line of First Bull Run, but by the spring of 1862, thanks to his actions at that battle, “Stonewall” was already becoming known across the battlefields. Ultimately, it would be the Valley Campaign of 1862 that made him a legend.  
    	In the early months of 1862, Jackson was given command of an army numbering about 17,000 in the Shenandoah Valley. His task was daunting. The loss at Bull Run prompted a changing of the guard, with George B. McClellan, the “Young Napoleon”, put in charge of reorganizing and leading the Army of the Potomac. That spring, the Army of the Potomac conducted an ambitious amphibious invasion of Virginia’s Peninsula, circumventing the Confederate defenses to the north of Richmond by attacking Richmond from the southeast. 	General Johnston’s outnumbered army headed toward Richmond to confront McClellan, but the Union still had three armies totaling another 50,000 around the Shenandoah Valley, which represented a threat to Richmond from the north. It was these armies that Jackson would be tasked with stopping.  
    	Jackson would go on to lead his undermanned army through what military strategists and historians consider the most incredible campaign of the Civil War. From late March to early June, Jackson kept all three Union armies bottled up and separated from each other in the Shenandoah Valley by marching up and down the Valley about 650 miles in 50 days, earning his army the nickname “foot cavalry.”  
    Although Jackson is revered today as an almost ideal commander, a lot of his subordinates bristled under his leadership, believing not only that he asked too much but that he was too strict.

    The author of this book, Diana Dirkby, is an Australian-born research mathematician who lives with paranoid schizophrenia, a severe brain disorder, as did her mother. The title, “The Overlife,” suggests that a diagnosis of schizophrenia can be the beginning of a new, worthwhile life and not simply the death of the hopes and dreams that preceded the diagnosis. This book gives a fictional account of a mother and daughter living with paranoid schizophrenia. We follow the widely disparate effects of this brain disorder on Sarah, the narrator, and her mother, Jodie. We also meet Dalaigh, Jodie’s husband and Sarah’s father, with his violent resentment at being trapped in a marriage he doesn’t want. By age eight, Sarah is Jodie’s caregiver and must negotiate her mother’s rapidly worsening mental health and her father’s white-hot fury. The weight of these adult conflicts on the shoulders of one so young seems impossible to bear.
