Beschreibung

In "Japanese Girls and Women," Alice Mabel Bacon crafts a nuanced exploration of gender roles and societal expectations in late 19th and early 20th century Japan. Utilizing a blend of observational narrative and cultural critique, Bacon paints a vivid portrait of the lives, struggles, and aspirations of Japanese women. The book is notable for its empathetic lens, as it seeks to bridge cultural divides while providing a testament to the resilience of women grappling with rapid modernization. Through her insightful prose, Bacon situates these female experiences within the larger context of Japan'Äôs transformation during the Meiji era, rendering a complex picture of tradition versus change. A prominent American educator and scholar, Alice Mabel Bacon traveled extensively in Japan, an experience that deeply informed her understanding of the country and its culture. Her background in education and her progressive views on women's rights shaped her perspective, urging her to advocate for the recognition and empowerment of women'Äôs voices. Bacon's unique position as a foreign observer allowed her to approach her subjects with both intimacy and critical distance, enriching her narrative. This seminal work is highly recommended for readers interested in gender studies, Japanese culture, and the historical impact of Western perspectives on East Asian societies. Bacon's empathetic portrayal, combined with her critical insights, makes this book a valuable resource for scholars and general readers alike who seek to understand the complexities of women's roles in a transforming world.

    In Mystics of the Empire, this groundbreaking study delves into the often-overlooked relationship between Roman emperors and magic, offering a fresh perspective on how sorcery and power intersected in the ancient world. While the lives and reigns of emperors have long captivated scholars, the fascinating role of magic in their rule remains a largely unexplored area of historical inquiry. This book examines how emperors were depicted as patrons of magical practices and as victims and persecutors of sorcery, revealing the complex political, social, and religious ramifications of magic in the Roman Empire. 
    From the mystical associations of the early emperors to the later, more controversial reigns of figures like Elagabalus, Mystics of the Empire analyzes the twofold nature of magic’s role — whether it was used as a tool for imperial authority or as a threat to Roman stability. The book explores how emperors employed magicians for their own purposes and how their engagement with magic could be a source of political intrigue and downfall. Drawing on ancient sources and case studies, the narrative illuminates how these magical associations shaped the representation of emperors while also addressing the motivations behind these portrayals. 
    By offering a detailed examination of the magical context from the establishment of the Principate to the end of the Severan dynasty, Mystics of the Empire reveals the intricate interplay between the mystical and the political in ancient Rome. This work challenges traditional understandings of Roman governance, providing readers with a deeper appreciation of how magic was used as a tool of power, control, and subversion in one of history’s most enduring empires.

    “A captivating and different kind of story” about the life of Bugsy Siegel’s godson, from the author “who captured his voice” (Nick Pileggi, author/screenwriter of Goodfellas and Casino). 
     
    In 1944 Brooklyn, newborn Michael J. Hardy is rejected by his mother so she can run with gangster Bugsy Siegel, Hardy’s godfather. Shirley Rook rose to the top of the criminal ranks. As the Queen of New York City crime, she laundered Mob money, ran the city’s largest bookmaking operation, and handed payouts to dirty cops, politicians, and judges. 
     
    To win his mother’s love and respect, Hardy became a fearless gangster. Throughout his career as a mercenary, he robbed banks and drug dealers alike, ran a kidnapping ring, and even became a hired gun. At his lowest, he ended up doing time for his mother’s counterfeiting operation in Mexico’s most dangerous prison. 
     
    Hardy’s criminal code of conduct combines elements of tough Ukrainian Jew and warm Southern Baptist, whether dealing with family and friends or fellow inmates during a combined twenty-six years spent in prisons and jails. He maintained this characteristic gregarious strength throughout his astonishing life in which Hardy was shot eleven times, committed fourteen hits for the Mob, twice wore wires for Rudy Giuliani to nab dirty cops, wrote a letter to JFK to get out of military prison, choked the Hillside Strangler, shared prison time with notorious criminals, and even spent ten years in Hollywood, cast in non-speaking roles in B-movies. 
     
    “A fascinating character study of an unapologetic criminal. David S. Larson masterfully weaves this tale in Michael Hardy’s own words, resulting in a powerful, inside story of a gangster’s life.” —Cathy Scott, Los Angeles Times-bestselling author
