  Michelle Mays was born into an abusive family in the Midwest. As she and her siblings cling to survival, the balance of family ties is weighed against alcoholism, drug abuse, abandonment, and despair. Hope dawns in the form of foster care, only to be deferred by multiple placements and a system not equipped to support the children it's meant to protect.Through powerful vignettes of a life disjointed, Mays's story is a journey of hope that is echoed in the experiences of thousands of children in the court and foster care systems today.Dumpster Doll is brave not because it is unique, but because it unflinchingly shines a light on family turmoil, flaws in judicial systems, and ultimately, the grit and tenacity that thousands of children exhibit each day just to make it through.

  Intentions is a brilliant and provocative collection of essays in which Oscar Wilde articulates his most influential ideas on art, aesthetics, and criticism. First published in 1891, this landmark work reveals Wilde not only as a master storyteller and dramatist, but also as one of the sharpest and most original literary thinkers of the Victorian era.
  
  The book consists of four major essays—"The Decay of Lying," "Pen, Pencil and Poison," "The Critic as Artist," and "The Truth of Masks." Written in Wilde's signature style—witty, paradoxical, and elegantly ironic—these essays challenge conventional beliefs about art, morality, realism, and the role of the critic. Wilde argues boldly that art should not imitate life, but rather that life imitates art, and that beauty and imagination are far more important than factual accuracy or moral instruction.
  
  Through sparkling dialogue and incisive analysis, Wilde defends the philosophy of Aestheticism, asserting that art exists for its own sake. He elevates criticism to an art form in itself, celebrating subjective interpretation, intellectual freedom, and creative expression. At the same time, Wilde playfully dismantles Victorian seriousness, exposing the limitations of moralism and the dangers of rigid realism.
  
  Intentions is both intellectually stimulating and endlessly entertaining. Wilde's essays remain remarkably modern, anticipating many ideas central to contemporary literary theory, cultural criticism, and artistic discourse. His language is rich with epigrams and memorable observations that reward careful reading and reflection.
  
  Essential reading for students, scholars, and lovers of classic literature, Intentions offers a profound insight into Oscar Wilde's artistic philosophy and enduring legacy. It is a book that challenges readers to rethink the nature of art, truth, and beauty—and to embrace imagination as the highest form of reality.

  The Story of Philosophy...

  Will Durant

  In "The Story of Philosophy. Schopenhauer" Will Durant delves into the life and ideas of Arthur Schopenhauer, a prominent 19th-century German philosopher. Schopenhauer's philosophy is characterized by his profound pessimism and the notion that the essence of reality is an irrational will. Durant explores Schopenhauer's influences, including Eastern philosophies and Immanuel Kant, and examines how his metaphysical and ethical views shaped his bleak outlook on human existence.
  Schopenhauer's seminal work, "The World as Will and Representation," is central to Durant's discussion. This work posits that the will is the driving force behind all phenomena, leading to a perpetual state of dissatisfaction and suffering. Despite his pessimism, Schopenhauer's thoughts on aesthetics and compassion reveal a complex thinker who saw art and empathy as temporary escapes from the harshness of reality.
  Durant's narrative not only provides a thorough analysis of Schopenhauer's philosophy but also situates it within the broader historical and intellectual context. By doing so, he highlights Schopenhauer's lasting impact on both contemporary and later philosophical thought, including existentialism and psychoanalysis.
  This segment of "The Story of Philosophy" serves as an accessible introduction to Schopenhauer's challenging ideas, offering readers insight into one of philosophy's most intriguing and influential figures.
