Mary Ellen Pleasant - From...

Andy Lammers

Mary Ellen Pleasant: From Slavery to Fortune – America's First Self-Made Female Multimillionaire by Andy Lammers tells the extraordinary true story of a woman who defied the limitations of her time to become one of the wealthiest and most influential figures in 19th-century America. 
Born into slavery on a Georgia plantation in the early 1800s, Mary Ellen Pleasant escaped a life of bondage and reinvented herself on her own terms. Her journey eventually led her west during the California Gold Rush, where she harnessed her intelligence, courage, and sharp instincts to build a vast fortune—estimated at nearly a billion dollars in today’s money. 
Pleasant became a formidable entrepreneur, owning numerous businesses across San Francisco, while quietly using her wealth to support abolitionist causes, aid escaped slaves, and uplift the poor. She was both admired and controversial, a woman of vision who operated in a world dominated by men, wealth, and prejudice. 
At the end of her remarkable life, Pleasant gave away her fortune to the poor of San Francisco, ensuring her legacy was not only one of wealth but of generosity, courage, and social impact. 
This is the story of a woman who transformed from enslaved child to America’s first self-made female multimillionaire—a hidden figure in history whose life reads like both a triumph and a legend.

Poetics

Aristotle

Aristotle's Poetics (Greek: Περὶ ποιητικῆς; Latin: De Poetica) is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory. In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (a term that derives from a classical Greek term, ποιητής, that means "poet; author; maker" and in this context includes verse drama – comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play – as well as lyric poetry and epic poetry). They are similar in the fact that they are all imitations but different in the three ways that Aristotle describes: Differences in music rhythm, harmony, meter and melody. Difference of goodness in the characters.Difference in how the narrative is presented: telling a story or acting it out. In examining its "first principles", Aristotle finds two: 1) imitation and 2) genres and other concepts by which that of truth is applied/revealed in the poesis. His analysis of tragedy constitutes the core of the discussion. Although Aristotle's Poetics is universally acknowledged in the Western critical tradition, "almost every detail about his seminal work has aroused divergent opinions". The work was lost to the Western world for a long time. It was available in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance only through a Latin translation of an Arabic version written by Averroes.Aristotle's work on aesthetics consists of the Poetics, Politics and Rhetoric. The Poetics is specifically concerned with drama. At some point, Aristotle's original work was divided in two, each "book" written on a separate roll of papyrus.
