Lauds and libels

Charles L. Graves

Beschreibung

In "Lauds and Libels," Charles L. Graves masterfully navigates the dichotomy of praise and criticism in the realm of literary expression, weaving a complex narrative that interrogates the dynamics of societal values and individual perspectives. Employing a sharp wit and a satirical tone reminiscent of the literary giants of the early 20th century, Graves crafts a collection of essays that juxtapose the exaltation of cultural icons against the backdrop of public scrutiny. This text serves not only as a reflection of the era's socio-political tensions but also as an exploration of the ethical responsibilities of the writer in a rapidly evolving cultural landscape. Graves, a notable figure in literary circles, was influenced by his background in journalism and his keen observations of contemporary society. His experiences with both acclaim and backlash throughout his career informed his nuanced approach to the interplay between laudatory and disparaging narratives. A keen observer of human nature and societal constructs, Graves adeptly captures the precarious balance of offering both accolades and critiques, embodying the complex relationship between the artist and their audience. "Lauds and Libels" is a compelling read for anyone interested in the intricacies of literary critique and cultural commentary. Graves' incisive insights and eloquent prose will engage scholars and casual readers alike, providing a refreshing perspective on the power of words and the artists behind them.

The Qabbalah Secret Doctrine of...

Manly Palmer Hall

Hebrew theology was divided into three distinct parts. The first was the law, the second was the soul of the law, and the third was the soul of the soul of the law. The law was taught to all the children of Israel; the Mishna, or the soul of the law, was revealed to the Rabbins and teachers; but the Qabbalah, the soul of the soul of the law, was cunningly concealed, and only the highest initiates among the Jews were instructed in its secret principles.

Moses Maimonides - A Very Short...

Ross Brann

This Very Short Introduction to Moses Maimonides surveys his many intellectual, literary, and professional ventures. Born in Islamic Cordoba, he ultimately settled in Cairo, where he served as jurist and civic leader and a highly esteemed physician with responsibilities at the Fatimid and Ayyubid courts, even as he deepened his philosophical-theological pursuits. He moved seamlessly between specialized, private, and public Jewish and Muslim spheres. 
 
His written works traverse multiple disciplines, employ several literary genres, and address various elite and popular audiences. This book organizes Maimonides's thinking and writings thematically and puts his works into dialogue with one another. It proposes that the key to engaging Maimonides on his own terms is to understand he applied a rationalist's regimen characteristic of his scientific research and practice of medicine to all of his life's work: he observed and studied a problem, diagnosed it, and then prescribed a remedy for it whether the concern was physical, metaphysical, spiritual, intellectual, or social in nature.His Arabic and Hebrew contributions to each of his fields of inquiry were translated and disseminated far and wide and found a prominent place among religious and scientific intellectuals in the Latin West and throughout the Jewish and Islamic worlds.

Toni Maguire, Gerri Mayo

A sexual abuse survivor tells her story in this memoir written with the help of the #1 bestselling author of Don’t Tell Mummy and When Daddy Comes Home. 
 
Gerri Mayo was only a young girl when she was first abused by her father. Growing up in a small village in Northern Ireland, in the tumultuous time of the Troubles, she had no one to turn to. He father’s evil acts were followed by abuse from her local priest, arranged by her father. After her mother found out about the abuse, she committed suicide. 
 
Gerri and her siblings were split up and placed in different foster homes. Told that her mother had committed a grave sin, Gerri’s foster parents were far from kind to her. She experienced years of loneliness, feeling completely abandoned. 
 
The abuse Gerry experienced was so extensive it required an operation to repair the damage to her body. When asked who or what had been responsible, she responded “the priest”. But she was not believed in her small Northern Ireland town in the 1960s, where everyone believed a priest took his orders directly from God. After finally meeting her kind and caring husband, Gerry decided it was time for her story to be told. This is her true story of survival.

From Panem to the Pandemic: An...

Michael Butter

Today, virtually all BA programs in English at German universities place a strong focus on Cultural Studies. However, textbooks that introduce first-year students to the subject are rare, and the few existing ones are too complicated or not comprehensive enough. By contrast, this textbook introduces the key theories and concepts of Cultural Studies systematically and thoroughly. It puts particular emphasis on their application, aiming to enable students to do their own analyses of cultural artefacts and practices. The author draws on many examples, mostly taken from American culture, but in each chapter, he applies the ideas introduced to The Hunger Games franchise and the coronavirus pandemic to show how different theories can lead to very different interpretations of the same phenomenon. Each chapter ends with exercises that allow students to apply what they have learned.
