Synopsis

This meticulously compiled volume, *Jane Eyre + Wuthering Heights (2 Unabridged Classics),* presents two quintessential works of 19th-century British literature, epitomizing the emotional depth and social critique distinctive of the Brontë sisters' literary heritage. The anthology navigates the complex intersections of personal agency, societal constraints, and the enduring human yearning for love and belonging, rendered in strikingly varied literary styles—from Charlotte Brontë's intricate psychological realism in *Jane Eyre* to Emily Brontë's hauntingly gothic atmospheres in *Wuthering Heights.* This collection is significant for its diverse narrative approaches and the way it encapsulates the tumultuous spirit of the Victorian era. Contributing to this anthology are Charlotte and Emily Brontë, two of the most perspicacious voices of their time, who pushed the boundaries of conventional storytelling. Writing in a period rife with social stratification and gender inequality, the Brontë sisters imbue their narratives with acute awareness of these issues, aligned with the broader Romantic and proto-feminist movements. Each work in this anthology is a testament to the authors' unique ability to convey profound emotional truths and to elucidate the stark realities of the human condition. Readers are encouraged to immerse themselves in this anthology's rich tapestry of themes and styles, offering an unparalleled journey through the moral landscapes and emotional depths of the Brontës' imaginative worlds. This collection is not just a confluence of powerful narratives but a vibrant dialogue between contrasting yet complementary visions, making it indispensable for those seeking a comprehensive understanding of the literary and cultural paradigms of the 19th century. The anthology serves as both an educational experience and a deep well of introspection, inviting engagement with timeless questions of identity, love, and resilience.

    As the daughter of two gay fathers in the '90s, Chelsea has always had a different outlook than some people. And yet, her message is one of universal importance—love is the most important force in the world. Through her moving and at times hilarious memoir, Chelsea reflects on how we are all much more similar than we are different. 
     
     
     
    Living "two doors down from normal," Chelsea quickly learned that society loves to put people in boxes, but these boxes do not always reflect how we feel about ourselves. Through Inexplicably Me, Chelsea works to bring people together in love and acceptance and to illustrate that, while her story may seem worlds away from others, we all strive for happiness and love. 
     
     
     
    From sharing the stage with President Obama when she was only eighteen years old, to her father spending her senior year of college in federal prison camp, to her biological mother dying of cancer when she was only fifty-six, Chelsea explores her painful and joyful experiences with the hope that listeners will find inspiration to face their own challenges and embrace their own joys.

    A revelatory collection of essays on the DeafBlind experience, and a manifesto on the power and untapped potential of touch. 
     
     
     
    Born Deaf into an ASL-speaking family and blind by adolescence, John Lee Clark learned to embrace the possibilities of his tactile world. He is on the frontlines of the Protactile movement, which gave birth to an unprecedented tactile language and a way of life based on physical connection. 
     
     
     
    In a series of paradigm-shifting essays, Clark reports on seismic developments within the DeafBlind community. In "Against Access," he interrogates the prevailing advocacy for "accessibility" that recreates a shadow of a hearing-sighted experience. In the National Magazine Award–winning "Tactile Art," he describes his relationship to visual art and encounters with tactile sculpture. He advocates for "Co-Navigation," a new way of guiding that respects DeafBlind agency and offers a brief history of the term "DeafBlind." As warm and witty as he is radical and inspiring, Clark welcomes listeners into the exciting Protactile landscape and celebrates the hidden knowledge that can be gained through touch.

    Victories Never Last - Reading...

    In any time of disruption or grief, many of us seek guidance in the work of great writers who endured similar circumstances. During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, historian and biographer Robert Zaretsky did the same while also working as a volunteer in a nursing home in south Texas. In Victories Never Last Zaretsky weaves his reflections on the pandemic siege of his nursing home with the testimony of six writers on their own times of plague: Thucydides, Marcus Aurelius, Michel de Montaigne, Daniel Defoe, Mary Shelley, and Albert Camus, whose novel The Plague provides the title of this book. 
     
     
      
    Zaretsky delves into these writers to uncover lessons that can provide deeper insight into our pandemic era. At the same time, he goes beyond the literature to invoke his own experience of the tragedy that enveloped his Texas nursing home, one which first took the form of chronic loneliness and then, inevitably, the deaths of many residents whom we come to know through Zaretsky's stories. In doing so, Zaretsky shows the power of great literature to connect directly to one's own life in a different moment and time. 
     
     
      
    For all of us still struggling to comprehend this pandemic and its toll, this book serves as a thoughtful and down-to-earth guide to the many ways we can come to know and make peace with human suffering.
