Sinopse

In "Moving the Mountain, Herland & With Her in Ourland," Charlotte Perkins Gilman combines progressive ideas with her distinctive literary style to explore themes of gender, society, and utopia. These interconnected narratives challenge the prevailing social norms of the early 20th century, presenting a world where women thrive independently, free from patriarchal constraints. Gilman's keen use of allegory and social critique is evident as she constructs a society in "Herland" where women collaborate in harmony, reflecting her belief in the transformative power of female solidarity and the critique of traditional gender roles. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent feminist thinker, social reformer, and writer whose own experiences with mental health and societal limitations profoundly influenced her work. Gilman was a vocal advocate for women's rights, and her personal struggles with the expectations of womanhood provided her with a unique lens to critique society. Her landmark essay, "The Yellow Wallpaper," mirrors the themes explored in these later works, showcasing her ongoing dedication to advocating for women's autonomy and intellectual freedom. This collection is highly recommended for readers interested in feminist literature and social commentary. Gilman's visionary perspectives continue to resonate in contemporary discussions around gender equality and societal reform, making this book essential for anyone seeking to understand the evolution of feminist thought in literary history.

    In the twenty-second century, the City of Angels is a tragic shell of its former self, having long ago been ruined and reshaped by nuclear disaster. Before he was in a band in Ellay, Gregorio Rivas was a redeemer, rescuing lost souls trapped in the Jaybirds cult of the powerful maniac Norton Jaybush. Rivas had hoped those days were behind him, but a desperate entreaty from a powerful official is pulling him back into the game. The rewards will be plentiful if he can wrest Urania, the official's daughter and Gregorio's first love, from Jaybush's sinister clutches. To do so, the redeemer reborn must face blood-sucking hemogoblins and other monstrosities on his way to discovering the ultimate secrets of this neo-Californian civilization.

Alive with wit, intelligence, and wild invention, Dinner at Deviant's Palace is a mad adventure across a dystopian future as only Tim Powers could have imagined it.
