Sinopse

   'Donoghue was alert to the idea of the unsayable, as he circled around the idea of language itself as pliable material, all the more beautiful for that and worthy of our full consideration, but yielding at times to further levels of mystery...' from foreword by Colm Tóibín   
In this last written work, the internationally renowned Irish literary critic Denis Donoghue brings an acute critical intelligence to bear on the late novels of Henry James. One of the greatest novelists in the English language, Henry James (1843-1916) was an American-British author who is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism.
James's The Portrait of a Lady (1881) was the central achievement of his early period. The Turn of the Screw (1898) was a high-point of Gothic literature. In The Correction of Taste, Denis Donoghue offers a close reading of James's final novels, taking as his starting point an observation by T.S. Eliot about the function of literary criticism. Exploring a succession of works such as The Ambassadors (1903), The Wings of the Dove (1902) and The Golden Bowl (1905), Donoghue brings into sharp focus the complex layers of James's literary genius.

    Leon Trotsky was a Ukrainian-Russian Marxist revolutionary, political thinker, and political leader who lived from November the 7th, in the year 1879 till August the 21st 1940. He developed a variation of Marxism referred to as Trotskyism after being a communist ideologically.Trotsky accepted Marxism after moving to Nikolayev in the year 1896, where he was born to a wealthy Ukrainian-Jewish family in Yanovka (now Bereslavka, Ukraine). He was detained and banned to Siberia by Tsarist authorities in the year 1898 for advanced activity. In the year 1902, he got away Siberia for London, where he ended up being good friends with Vladimir Lenin. At the time of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party's preliminary organizational split in the year 1903, he supported Julius Martov's Mensheviks against Lenin's Bolsheviks. Trotsky was locked up and deported to Siberia after helping to prepare the unsuccessful Russian Revolution of 1905. He got away again and operated in the U.K., Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, and the U.S. for the next 10 years. After the Tsarist monarchy was toppled in the February Revolution of 1917, Trotsky went back to Russia and signed up with the Bolshevik faction as a leader. He was a popular figure in the November 1917 October Revolution, which deposed the new Provisional Federal government, as head of the Petrograd Soviet.Let’s see what else Leon Trotsky did in his life.

    If you were sexually abused as a child or minor and its consequences still affect your life, read this. 
    You are no longer alone. For years, I didn’t understand the source of my anger. Past and present were tangled, leaving me feeling rejected and abandoned. To find clarity, I tried several therapeutic approaches, alone and in groups. The secret buried in my memory poisoned my life. All I wanted was to feel better, but I didn’t know how. 
    Years passed before I discovered the truth. My life felt like a windswept leaf—frustration and anger ruled me. It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom—overreacting to comments, without a job or money, asked to move out—that my body reminded me of the trauma I had buried: childhood sexual abuse. 
    Common behaviors among victims include: 
    Trust issues 
    Taking care of others at their own expense 
    Persistent anger or panic 
    Overreacting to remarks 
    Living aimlessly or trying to escape 
    Inability to focus on real needs or make decisions 
    Difficulty identifying priorities 
    Possible post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
    Talking about such pain is difficult, yet its effects often lead to destructive behavior. Joining a support group helped me understand that victims of childhood sexual abuse are survivors. Through readings and exercises with the group, I learned to recognize my wounds and name long-repressed emotions. 
    If you believe your life could be better without anger or shame, this book is for you.

    Against enormous odds and in the face of fierce pushback, the Palestine solidarity movement has succeeded in transforming the landscape of American politics. The movement has catapulted Palestine from being an untouchable topic in even liberal political circles to a central rallying cry in grassroots progressive organizing, one that is championed by some of the highest profile and beloved members of Congress. 
     
     
     
    In the fall and winter of 2023, with the attention of the world focused on Israel's unprecedented aggression against the people of Gaza, millions across the globe mobilized in solidarity with Palestinians and their struggle for liberation. 
     
     
     
    In this book, two key leaders and former staff of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) focus on the important role of anti-Zionist Jewish organizing within the broader Palestine solidarity movement, reflecting on their decade of leadership of JVP and drawing lessons especially relevant to those organizing from a position of solidarity. 
     
     
     
    Their insights help contextualize the intense suppression of activism for Palestinian freedom, while illuminating the roots of today's flourishing Jewish solidarity with Palestinians worldwide.
