Synopsis

The Brontë Sisters - The Complete Novels offers a profound exploration of the human psyche, entrenched in themes of love, social criticism, and the struggle for identity. This anthology encompasses a range of literary styles, from the passionate romanticism of *Wuthering Heights* to the incisive social commentary of *Jane Eyre*. The Brontë sisters' work, with its unique combination of Gothic and realist styles, serves as a touchstone in the evolution of English literature, providing readers with some of the 19th century's most influential works. Dive into the stark moorlands depicted in these pages and experience narratives that confront societal norms and personal dilemmas with unflinching honesty. Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë, as pioneering female voices within a patriarchal Victorian society, provide a diversity of perspectives that interrogate the roles of women in their time. Their collective works align with the movement towards more personal and psychologically complex narratives that characterized the era's transition from Romanticism to Realism. Together, their novels enrich the literary tapestry with insights drawn from their own experiences, challenging stereotypes and advocating for a nuanced understanding of human nature and moral complexity. This compendium presents a unique opportunity to engage with the radical ideas and literary innovations of the Brontë sisters in one definitive volume. It serves not only as an essential entry point for students and enthusiasts of classic literature but also as a profound invitation to explore the dynamic interplay between personal and universal themes that remain relevant today. As readers delve into this comprehensive collection, they will find a fertile ground for reflection and dialogue, offered through the profoundly different yet complementary voices of three of literature's most compelling figures.

Anguish The double secret

Max Dorra

The words of others, as an unpleasant remark ("You’re not hardworking") or a medical diagnosis ("You’re bipolar"), have the power to plunge us into anguish whenever they show an image of ourselves that we do not recognize: "In a world where words become viruses, certain sentences can kill." 
The reductive identity that is thus assigned to us creates the illusion that our life can be summed up by these few words, allowing others to exercise the tyrannical power of anxiety over us. 
Max Dorra explains how this illusion, created temporarily by the gaze of others, is just a montage-effect of our memory—as in a movie—and that it is enough to understand the mechanisms of this illusion in order to free ourselves from it: "To become aware of the fact that one is held captive by a montage is to be freed from a false confinement."
In virtuosic and sensitive language ("The affects—shapeless and promising, wonderful clouds"), the author journeys through music, painting and cinema, appealing to sociology, psychoanalysis and philosophy, while remaining firmly rooted in reality: "There are more things in a hospital elevator than in all of philosophy." 
He shows us that trusting our imagination allows us to tame anxiety without fearing it, and understanding that "another montage is possible" allows us to go towards the other without losing ourselves.

Charles Leclerc - A Biography

Adam Hay-Nicholls

From acclaimed journalist Adam Hay-Nicholls, the very first biography of rising star Charles Leclerc. 
 
Few of the drivers on the F1 grid have the racing pedigree of Charles Leclerc. Widely regarded as one of the sport's hottest prospects, he was crowned F3 and then F2 champion in back-to-back seasons before he made his F1 debut with Sauber in 2018. Now firmly established as Ferrari's great hope, following in the footsteps of legends Alberto Ascari, Niki Lauda and Michael Schumacher, Leclerc has his eyes set on becoming world champion. 
 
Born in Monaco to a family of comparatively modest means, Leclerc remembers playing with toy cars on a friend's balcony as the best drivers in the world whizzed around the Monte Carlo circuit on the streets below. This early experience inspired him to get behind the wheel, encouraged by his father Hervé, and so began his meteoric rise in the sport. Along the way, he lost his father, his godfather and his best friend - all racing drivers - and this gave Leclerc the inner steel to become a winner. 
 
Writer Adam Hay-Nicholls, who has spent much of his career in the Formula One paddock, provides the inside track on this rising star, recounting how he has taken the racing world by storm. And as Leclerc's Ferrari is beginning to fire on all cylinders, will he beat his old rival and adversary Max Verstappen to the world title?

Bob Dylan - American Troubadour

Donald Brown

“The book’s strength is a thorough assessment of Dylan’s career, album by album, song by song. Both longtime fans and newcomers . . . will appreciate.” —Library Journal With Bob Dylan’s receipt of the Nobel Prize in Literature, his iconic status as an American musical, cultural, and poetic giant has never been more apparent. Bob Dylan: American Troubadour is the first book to look at Dylan’s career, from his first album to his masterpiece Tempest. Donald Brown provides insightful critical commentary on Dylan’s prolific body of work, placing Dylan’s career in the context of its time in order to assess the relationship of Dylan’s music to contemporary American culture. Each chapter follows the shifting versions of Dylan, from his songs of conscientious social involvement to more personal exploratory songs; from his influential rock albums of the mid-1960s to his adaptations of country music; from his three very different tours in the 1970s to his “born again” period as a proselytizer for Christ and his frustrations as a recording and performing artist in the 1980s; from his retrospective importance in the 1990s to the refreshingly vital albums he has been producing in the 21st century. “This concise examination of the Dylan corpus is especially good for younger generations who may want to better understand how a musician in his early seventies can still be so compelling and relevant in twenty-first-century America.”. —Booklist    “Fascinating . . . Highly recommended. All readers.  —Choice Reviews “A nearly album by album retrospective of one of the most culturally significant and musically influential musicians in modern history.” —Examiner “A must read for Dylan enthusiasts.”  —Journal of American Culture
