Summary

The Song Celestial; Or, Bhagavad-Gîtâ is an exquisite translation of a seminal text from the ancient Indian epic Mahâbhârata, rendered with both fidelity and poetic grace. This work unfolds as a philosophical dialogue between Prince Arjuna and the god Krishna, encapsulating profound themes of duty, righteousness, and the nature of reality. The literary style deftly marries verse and prose, providing readers with insights into the Sanskrit original while navigating the complexities of dharma and the human condition, all set against the backdrop of a grand cosmic war. As a cornerstone of Eastern philosophy, it resonates with universal themes, making it a timeless exploration of the self and the universe's intricate dance. The author, who remains anonymous yet is deeply respected, likely crafted this text to illuminate the spiritual wisdom of the Gîtâ for a Western audience, bridging Eastern and Western literary traditions. Their background, steeped in both scholarship and spiritual practice, informs the lyrical and introspective nature of this work, allowing readers a glimpse into the philosophical depth and poetic beauty of the original. I wholeheartedly recommend The Song Celestial to anyone seeking a profound understanding of life's fundamental questions. Its rich, contemplative verses offer not only a historical perspective but also practical insights applicable to modern life, making it an indispensable addition to the library of both the curious and the devoted.

    A Room of One's Own

    'Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.'

Based on two lectures Woolf delivered at the University of Cambridge, A Room of One's Own compellingly argues for women's intellectual freedom and the importance of financial independence. It is still considered one of the most powerful pieces of feminist writing to this day.

Published in 1929, A Room of One's Own asserts a simple message: in order for women to reach their full creative potential, they must have their own money and space with which to do it with. Drawing from the careers of the extraordinary female authors who came before her – such as Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters and Aphra Behn – Woolf stresses just how crucial access to education is, particularly in an environment which fails to support women's liberty. She cleverly asks us to imagine that Shakespeare had a sister – equal in genius, talent – and poses the question: would her legacy be the same if her means to create were stumped? As incisive as it is intelligent, A Room of One's Own is a searing social commentary for the ages. This audiobook edition is brilliantly read by Karen Cass.
Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.

    How Polarization Begets...

    Extreme polarization in American politics is perhaps the most confounding political phenomenon of our time. This book binds together polarization in Congress and polarization in the electorate within an ever-expanding feedback loop. This loop is powered by the discipline exerted by the respective political parties on their Congressional members and district candidates and endorsed by the voters in each Congressional district who must choose between the alternatives offered. Tight national party discipline produces party delegations in Congress that are widely separated from one another but each ideologically narrowly distributed. 
 
 
 
As district constituencies become more polarized and are egged on by activists, parties are further motivated to appeal to their respective bases rather than to voters in the ideological center. America has indeed acquired parties with clear platforms—once thought to be a desirable goal—but these parties are now feuding camps. What resolution might there be? Just as the progressive movement slowly replaced the Gilded Age, might a new reform effort replace the current squabble? Or could an asymmetry develop in the partisan constraints that would lead to ascendancy of the center, or might a new and over-riding issue generate a cross-cutting dimension, opening the door to a new politics? Only the future will tell.

What you’ve heard is a myth. It isn’t true love’s kiss which breaks curses—it takes something much more powerful. Like some good, hard thrusting. 
  
But will Belle want to be “cured”?
