Sinossi

"The First Samurai" explores the genesis of Japan's iconic warrior class, examining their evolution from disparate armed groups to a dominant military force. This book delves into the formative centuries of the samurai, tracing the development of their unique warrior ethos and the early forms of Bushido, the samurai code. Readers will gain insight into the complex political landscape of early Japan and how the weakening of the imperial court allowed regional clans and their warrior retinues to rise to prominence.

 
The book emphasizes that the samurai's ascendancy was a gradual process, deeply intertwined with the political, economic, and spiritual currents of the time. The book begins by establishing the socio-political context of early Japan, before detailing the emergence of warrior bands and their involvement in regional conflicts, including the Gempei War. It analyzes the nascent Bushido code, identifying its philosophical roots and tracing its practical application in samurai conduct.

 
By presenting a nuanced account of the early samurai, the book challenges simplistic narratives and offers a multi-faceted understanding of these warriors and their lasting impact on Japanese society. It follows a chronological structure, moving from the Heian period through the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate.

    The lost memoir of Britain's first Black Olympic medal winner—and the America he discovered 
 
 
  
After winning Olympic medals for Britain in 1920, Harry Edward (1898–1973) decided to try his luck in America. The country he found was full of thrilling opportunity and pervasive racism. 
 
 
  
Immensely capable and energetic, Harry rubbed shoulders with kings and presidents, was influential in the revival of Black theatre during the Harlem Renaissance, and became a passionate humanitarian and advocate for child welfare. He was present at some of the twentieth century's most significant moments, worked alongside W. E. B. Du Bois and Orson Welles, and witnessed two world wars and the civil rights movement. Yet he was frustrated at almost every turn. 
 
 
  
Toward the end of his life he set down his story, crafting this memoir of athletics and activism, race and racism on both sides of the Atlantic. His manuscript went unpublished until now. This is the deeply engaging tale of Edward's life—and a moving testament to his drive to form a better world.

    Privacy is disappearing. From our sex lives to our workout routines, the details of our lives once relegated to pen and paper have joined the slipstream of new technology. As a MacArthur fellow and distinguished professor of law at the University of Virginia, acclaimed civil rights advocate Danielle Citron has spent decades working with lawmakers and stakeholders across the globe to protect what she calls intimate privacy—encompassing our bodies, health, gender, and relationships. When intimate privacy becomes data, corporations know exactly when to flash that ad for a new drug or pregnancy test. Social and political forces know how to manipulate what you think and who you trust, leveraging sensitive secrets and deepfake videos to ruin or silence opponents. And as new technologies invite new violations, people have power over one another like never before, from revenge porn to blackmail, attaching life-altering risks to growing up, dating online, or falling in love. 
 
 
 
A masterful new look at privacy in the twenty-first century, The Fight for Privacy takes the focus off Silicon Valley moguls to investigate the price we pay as technology migrates deeper into every aspect of our lives: entering our bedrooms and our bathrooms and our midnight texts; our relationships with friends, family, lovers, and kids; and even our relationship with ourselves.

    Understanding Camus

    Albert Camus is prone to many misunderstandings. Jean-François Mattéi seeks to dispel them by offering us an innovative reading of this philosopher's work. 
He shows us that it is by tackling the three cycles of his work (the absurd, revolt, love) that we can better understand his various positions: his radical rejection of the death penalty and the atomic bomb, his distrust of revolution and his stance on Algeria. The book also takes into account an intimate element in the construction of the philosopher and his thought: his love for his mother. 
A clear, fascinating little book for (re)discovering Camus.
