The Poignant Being - The...

Mamoon Jahan

Life is full of contradictions-love and loss, creation and destruction, tradition and progress. We spend our days searching for meaning, for connection, for something that makes the struggle worthwhile. But in that search, we often overlook the very things that shape us: the quiet sacrifices, the unspoken fears, the relationships that both define and challenge us.
Either you munch on life, or you get munched by life. While we share similarities with previous generations, clinging to outdated beliefs no longer serves us. The world has changed, and what we need today is more kindness, more genuine care for one another-rather than allowing ourselves to be hollowed out by the digital age. This book is an exploration of those forces: the raw, unfiltered experience of being human. It delves into the love of a mother that shapes a child's world, the weight of family expectations, and the tension between who we are and who we hope to become.
It asks tough questions: What does it mean to truly love? How do we balance ambition with responsibility? And in a world that demands constant change, how do we hold on to what really matters? Through deeply personal reflections, philosophical musings, and a brutally honest look at life's paradoxes, this work challenges the idea that peace is the ultimate goal. Instead, it dares to argue that greatness-however we define it-is found in embracing struggle, in choosing action over comfort, and in accepting that the journey is never meant to be simple.
This book explores philosophy, modern values, and the often-overlooked aspects of life-the things we neglect because giving them attention no longer feels like a priority. But perhaps, in paying attention, we reclaim something essential.
For those who find themselves questioning, searching, or simply trying to make sense of it all-this book is for you.

Romantic Things - A Tree A Rock...

Mary Jacobus

Our thoughts are shaped as much by what things make of us as by what we make of them. Lyric poetry is especially concerned with things and their relationship to thought, sense, and understanding. In Romantic Things, Mary Jacobus explores the world of objects and phenomena in nature as expressed in Romantic poetry alongside the theme of sentience and sensory deprivation in literature and art. Jacobus discusses objects and attributes that test our perceptions and preoccupy both Romantic poetry and modern philosophy. John Clare, John Constable, Rainer Maria Rilke, W. G. Sebald, and Gerhard Richter make appearances around the central figure of William Wordsworth as Jacobus explores trees, rocks, clouds, breath, sleep, deafness, and blindness in their work. While she thinks through these things, she is assisted by the writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Luc Nancy. Helping us think more deeply about things that are at once visible and invisible, seen and unseen, felt and unfeeling, Romantic Things opens our eyes to what has been previously overlooked in lyric and Romantic poetry.
