Sinossi

Seine River Mysticism explores the profound spiritual connection between the Seine River and the Celtic tribes who once thrived along its banks. The book argues that the river was not merely a physical feature but a powerful symbol of life, death, and rebirth in Celtic religious thought. Intriguingly, archaeological findings reveal votive offerings deposited in the Seine, suggesting ritualistic practices and the river's sacred status, challenging the notion that ancient religious sites were solely temples or formal sanctuaries.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with an introduction to pre-Roman Celtic society and their beliefs. It then examines archaeological evidence of ritualistic activities along the Seine, followed by an exploration of Celtic mythology and folklore related to rivers and water spirits. Finally, it traces the river's influence on later spiritual traditions, including early Christian beliefs. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the Seine's enduring spiritual legacy, making it valuable for those interested in Celtic history, religion, and the cultural history of France.

Overdue - Reckoning with the...

Amanda Oliver

Who are libraries for, how have they evolved, and why do they fill so many roles in our society today? 
 
 
 
Based on firsthand experiences from six years of professional work as a librarian in high-poverty neighborhoods of Washington, DC, as well as interviews and research, Overdue begins with Oliver's first day at an "unusual" branch: Northwest One. 
 
 
 
Using her experience at this branch allows Oliver to highlight the national problems that have existed in libraries since they were founded: racism, segregation, and class inequalities. These age-old problems have evolved into police violence, the opioid epidemic, rampant houselessness, and lack of mental health care nationwide—all of which come to a head in public library spaces. 
 
 
  
Can public librarians continue to play the many roles they are tasked with? Can American society sustain one of its most noble institutions? 
 
 
 
Pushing against hundreds of years of stereotypes, romanticization, and discomfort with a call to reckoning, Overdue will change the way you think about libraries forever.

The Leaving Season - A Memoir in...

Kelly McMasters

Kelly McMasters found herself in her mid-thirties living her fantasy: she'd moved with her husband, a painter, from New York City to rural Pennsylvania, where their children roamed idyllic acres in rainboots and diapers. The pastoral landscape and the bookshop they opened were restorative at first, for her and her marriage. But soon, she was quietly plotting her escape. 
 
 
 
In The Leaving Season, McMasters chronicles the heady rush of falling in love and carving out a life in the city, the slow dissolution of her relationship in an isolated farmhouse, and the complexities of making a new home for herself and her children as a single parent. She delves into the tricky and often devastating balance between seeing and being seen; loss and longing; desire and doubt; and the paradox of leaving what you love in order to survive. 
 
 
 
Whether considering masculinity in the countryside through the life of a freemartin calf, the vulnerability of new motherhood in the wake of a car crash, or the power of community pulsing through an independent bookshop, The Leaving Season finds in every ending a new beginning.

The Case of Wagner

Friedrich Nietzsche

The essay is a scathing critique of the German composer Richard Wagner, whom Nietzsche had previously admired, but later came to despise. Nietzsche argues that Wagner's music represents a decadent and degenerate form of art, which promotes a nihilistic and life-denying worldview. He also accuses Wagner of promoting a kind of fake heroism, which he believes is dangerous and misleading. Overall, "The Case of Wagner" is a powerful critique of Wagner and his artistic legacy, and a provocative exploration of the nature of art and its relationship to human culture and values. Read in English, unabridged.

Tore Størvold

During the past three decades, Iceland has attained a strong presence in the world through its musical culture, with images of the nation being packaged and shipped out in melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. What 'Iceland' means for people, both at home and abroad, is conditioned by music and its ability to animate notions of nature and nationality. In six chapters that range from discussions of indie rock ballads to 'Nordic noir' television music, Dissonant Landscapes describes the capacity of musical expression to transform ideas about nature and nationality on the northern edges of Europe.
