The Federalist Papers - Including Declaration of Independence & United States Constitution

Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay

Sinopse

The Federalist Papers is a profound anthology that encapsulates the intellectual robustness of 18th-century American political thought. The collection offers an expansive range of essays that not only advocate for the ratification of the United States Constitution but also provide a comprehensive discourse on governance, the balance of power, and the preservation of liberty. Through its sophisticated and varied literary styles, the anthology navigates through the intricacies of republicanism and federalism, presenting arguments that are as relevant today as they were at the nation's inception. Noteworthy essays within this compilation delve deeply into the structures of government and the imperatives of unity, making it a significant piece in the landscape of political literature. Authored by a distinguished trio—Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay—these essays collectively amalgamate the philosophical underpinnings of America's founding principles. Each author contributes a unique perspective: Hamilton's foresight on fiscal policies, Madison's advocacy for checks and balances, and Jay's diplomatic clarity on federalism. Together, they draw on Enlightenment ideals and early American political realities, fostering a rich tapestry of debate and argumentation that captures the fervor of a nascent country poised to define itself. These disparate voices harmonize to illuminate the broader narrative of American democracy and constitutional discourse. Recommended for history buffs, political science enthusiasts, and the curious reader alike, The Federalist Papers invites readers into the depths of foundational political theory. It stands as an essential compendium for exploring a multitude of perspectives within a singular yet multifaceted vision of governance. This collection not only educates but also facilitates a dialogue between its historic insights and contemporary reflections, making it a timeless educational resource and a catalyst for intellectual exploration in the pursuit of governance and civic understanding.

Israel Alone

Bernard-Henri Levy

On October 8, 2023, Bernard-Henri Lévy flew to Israel to bear witness to the unprecedented invasion and massacre committed by Hamas. Israel Alone begins here and weaves in Lévy's fifty years on the ground in Israel, from his first trip in 1967, his experiences writing on all the conflicts since, and his participation in various peace plans and contacts with all the Israeli leaders. 
 
 
 
From his unique philosophical and humanist perspective, Lévy analyzes the ultimate evil unleashed on Israel on October 7 and delves into how the Islamic Republic of Iran, Russia, radical Islamist groups, Turkey, and China have played roles and profited from this tragedy. The book addresses how October 7, though historic in scope, became, within weeks, a "detail" in the global consciousness amid a worldwide eruption of anti-Semitism, cloaked in anti-Zionism. 
 
 
 
Lévy deconstructs the arguments of those calling for a "cease-fire now" without the release of all hostages and of those who demand that October 7 be seen within a greater "context." Lévy's meditation on the soul of Zionism and Israel shows why this war is existential, not only for Israel but for the global West. And yet, despite the urgency and critical nature of this war, Israel takes it on alone. Lévy analyzes, today, why this is so and why Israel's solitude is greater than ever.

Colette - My Literary Mother

Michele Roberts

The power of Colette's work comes from its modernist storytelling. 
 
 
 
Colette was a pioneering, groundbreaking modernist writer, but has not always had her originality and worth recognized in Britain. Her work provocatively uses unstable narratives, gaps, silences, fairytale, mythical tropes, and sensual evocations of childhood, sex, and landscapes. 
 
 
 
In this book, Michèle Roberts examines how Colette invents new forms to express her unsettling content on desire, perversion, aging, and different forms of love. Delving into four key texts, Roberts explores Colette's willingness to break open taboos about older woman and desire, as well as hidden and forbidden aspects of human longings and pleasures. 
 
 
 
Through these re-readings, Roberts discovers that Colette's work is even more entrancing, more disturbing, and more original than she first thought.
