Sinopse

In "Prose Remains of Arthur Hugh Clough, with a Selection from His Letters and a Memoir," Clough presents a rich tapestry of thought, reflecting on profound themes of faith, doubt, and the human condition. Written in a clear yet lyrical style, the collection combines essays, critiques, and personal correspondences, inviting readers into the introspective and often turbulent world of Victorian intellectualism. Clough's prose is imbued with a sense of urgency and introspection, resonating with the complexities of his era, particularly the interplay between established religious beliefs and emerging secular views, making it an essential piece within the Victorian literary canon. Arthur Hugh Clough (1819-1861) was an English poet and educational reformer who struggled with personal and societal dilemmas throughout his life. His academic tenure at Oxford and extensive travels across Europe provided him with a unique perspective on the academic and cultural shifts of his time. Clough'Äôs commitment to moral integrity and clarity in thought reflects his own inner grapple with faith and skepticism, elements made evident in this collection. This book is highly recommended for students of literature and philosophy alike, as it provides invaluable insight into the mind of a thinker caught in the throes of change. Clough's reflections remain remarkably relevant, offering timeless wisdom that challenges contemporary readers to ponder their own beliefs and societal norms.

    This program is read by the author.Victoria Wellman’s Before You Say Anything invites listeners into the game-changing creative process of New York’s busiest speechwriter, delivering actionable insights for anyone tasked with speaking in public.In the age of information and influence, the ability to authentically express yourself in words has become both a rite of passage and an essential skill for anyone who wants to make a difference—however modest or grand—in their family, community, workplace, or at the podium in front of thousands. And yet the conventional wisdom around what resonates for today’s speakers and their audiences has failed to evolve, leaving speakers wondering how they will craft a speech that provides the individuality, originality and authenticity our culture demands. While we can’t all be the next Amanda Gorman, however, there is a roadmap every speaker can follow—regardless of their experience—to elevate a narrative from serviceable to unforgettable. This is true whether you are roasting a colleague at an office party, delivering a keynote industry address, accepting an award, or eulogizing a loved one.In Before You Say Anything, Victoria Wellman—the founder and president of Manhattan-based speechwriting company The Oratory Laboratory—shares her unique methodology for researching, reimagining, crafting, and delivering a professional quality speech by focusing on three core objectives: respect for the audience, the restless pursuit of originality, and intentionality behind every word. Full of hilarious anecdotes and examples from Wellman’s extensive experience as the go-to speechwriter for power players and everyday people from around the world, Before You Say Anything is an irresistible antidote to the age-old doctrine of what a speech must include. Instead it will leave readers with an enlightened and refreshing way of thinking about their sources, ideas and material, and a strategy of putting it all to use.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press

    The Republic by Plato is a philosophical text that addresses the question of justice. In the text, Plato argues that justice is not simply a matter of following the laws of the city, but rather is something that must be based on the ideal state of the city. For Plato, the ideal state is one in which all citizens are able to participate in the ruling of the city.
