Sinopsis

The book, “Gods of Modern Grub Street,” published in 1923, is a collection of 32 biographical articles featuring a variety of literary figures of early 20th century England, including photographs of each, compiled by Arthur St. John Adcock (1864-1930), an English novelist and poet. He was a Fleet Street journalist for half a century and also built a literary career. As an editor of The Bookman magazine since 1908, he became an influential critic in literary circles. Historically, in the 19th century, Grub Street was a street in an impoverished area of London, famous for its concentration of struggling “hack writers,” aspiring poets, and low-end publishers and booksellers. The street name no longer exists.

    Ecce Homo is a philosophical autobiography written by Friedrich Nietzsche towards the end of his life. In this work, Nietzsche reflects on his life, his philosophical views, and his legacy. The title, which means "behold the man" in Latin, is taken from Pontius Pilate's words when he presents Jesus to the crowd before his crucifixion. Nietzsche uses this phrase to present himself as a kind of messiah of a new philosophy, proclaiming the birth of a new era of thought. Ecce Homo is a complex and challenging work that has been interpreted in many different ways. Some readers see it as a celebration of Nietzsche's life and ideas, while others view it as a cautionary tale about the dangers of radical individualism. Regardless of how it is interpreted, however, Ecce Homo remains an important and influential work in the history of philosophy. Read in English, unabridged.

    Throughout history, there have been men of war and men of peace, but few have actually had a war named after them. One of them was Pontiac, also known as Obwandiyag, an Odawa chief who left his mark on history by continuing the battle against the British after their official triumph during the French and Indian War. While modern historians question how important Pontiac’s role was in shaping America’s destiny, his leadership during Pontiac’s War was seen at that time as important enough to warrant significant articles and even a few 18th century books. Since these books were written by the British, or at least men who supported their cause, the descriptions of Pontiac were often not complimentary. Likewise, 19th century authors tended to portray him as something of an evil genius who plotted against the British and then drove his people into battle. Not surprisingly, 20th century scholarship depicted him differently, portraying Pontiac as an important leader who had more influence over his own local band of Native Americans than over some vast army. 
    When it comes to Pontiac, a few facts are certain. For one thing, he certainly led the first major attack of Pontiac’s War in May 1763, when he and 300 of his men attacked Fort Detroit in what is now the city by the same name. Unfortunately for his cause, Pontiac failed to gauge just how strong the British presence there was, and his attack was quickly repelled. On the other hand, he was not a man who gave up easily, so instead of retreating, he and his warriors would lay siege to the British stronghold. In the days that followed, word spread of his efforts, and in short order nearly 1,000 men from various tribes in the area had joined him. They remained camped around the fort throughout the summer before finally giving up the siege.
