Summary

In "The Greatest Novels," E.M. Forster transcends the conventional boundaries of literary critique, offering a compelling examination of seminal works that have shaped the modern literary landscape. With a distinctive narrative style characterized by wit and incisive analysis, Forster delves into the artistic intentions and thematic depth of each selected novel. This work engages not only the historical contexts surrounding the chosen texts but also illuminates the intricate interplay between the authors' personal lives and their creative outputs, enriching the reader's understanding of the novels' broader cultural significance. E.M. Forster, a renowned English novelist celebrated for his own literary contributions, including "A Passage to India" and "Howards End," was deeply influenced by the social and political environment of his time. His experiences in both England and India shaped his views on human connection and societal constraints, themes that resonate throughout "The Greatest Novels". With a keen intellect and profound sensitivity to narrative form, Forster's scholarship offers a unique perspective grounded in his own literary accomplishments. This book is an essential read for aspiring writers, literary scholars, and devoted readers alike. Forster's insightful commentary not only enriches our appreciation for iconic novels but also invites us to explore the intricacies of narrative form and the universality of human experience as depicted in these timeless works.

    A profound new approach to healing trauma, grounded in a radical reframing of how we understand this nearly universal experienceFor centuries, we’ve been taught that being traumatized means we are somehow broken—and that trauma only happens to people who are too fragile or flawed to deal with hardship. But as a researcher, teacher, and survivor, Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald has learned that the only thing broken is our society’s understanding of trauma. “The body’s trauma response is designed to save our lives—and it does,” she says. “It’s not a sign of weakness, but of our function, strength, and amazing resilience.”With Unbroken: The Trauma Response Is Never Wrong, Dr. McDonald overturns the misconceptions about trauma with the latest evidence from neuroscience and psychology—and shares tested practices and tools to help you work with your body’s coping mechanisms to accelerate healing. Here, you’ll explore:• What is trauma? The latest science that undoes the stigmas of shame, blame, and humiliation• Moral injury—having our basic sense of how the world should work overturned• The truth about triggers—what they really are and how they can guide the healing journey• Traumatic patterns—new findings to help break free from recurring habits and toxic dynamics• Why we can always rewrite our inner narratives, no matter how much time has passed• Finding a “relational home” for trauma—how we can help each other return to wholenessDr. McDonald’s case studies reveal the many ways trauma can manifest and persist in our lives, yet there’s one factor every case has in common: the trauma response itself reveals the path to healing. “Our traumatic experiences reveal that we can be bent, dented, or bruised,” she says, “but we cannot be broken.” For anyone who has gone through trauma or wants to help others who are struggling, here is an empowering resource for finding our way home to our bodies, rebuilding our relationships, and returning to full engagement with life.

    After her beloved dad got addicted to right-wing talk radio and Fox News, Jen Senko feared he would never be the same again . . . 
 
 
 
Frank Senko had always known how to have a good time. But after a job change forced Frank to begin a long car commute every day, his daughter Jen noticed changes in his personality and beliefs. Long hours on the road listening to talk radio commentators like Rush Limbaugh sucked her father into a suspicion-laden worldview dominated by conspiracy theories, fake news, and rants about the "coastal elite" and "libtards" trying to destroy America. 
 
 
 
Over the course of a few years, Jen's dad went from a nonpolitical, open-minded Democrat to a radical, angry, and intolerant right-wing devotee who became a stranger to those closest to him. As politics began to take precedence over everything else in her father's life, Jen was mystified. What happened to her dad? Jen began the search for answers, and found them . . . as well as stories from countless other families like her own. 
 
 
 
Based on the award-winning documentary, The Brainwashing of My Dad uncovers the alarming right-wing strategy to wield the media as a weapon against our very democracy.

    Why did independent Singapore celebrate two hundred years of its founding as a British colony in 2019? What does Merdeka mean for Singaporeans? And what are the possibilities of doing decolonial history in Singapore? Raffles Renounced: Towards a Merdeka History presents essays by historians, literary scholars and artists which grapple with these questions. The volume also reproduces some of the source material used in the play Merdeka / 獨立 / சுதந்திரம் (Wild Rice, 2019). Taken together, the book shows how the contradictions of independent nationhood haunt Singaporeans' collective and personal stories about Merdeka. It points to the need for a Merdeka history: an open and fearless culture of historical reckoning that not only untangles us from colonial narratives, but proposes emancipatory possibilities.

    Thomas Paine was born in Great Britain; he came to America at the age of 37 for the first time. He is rightly considered to be the Anglo-American writer, philosopher, publicist, as well as "American godfather" for supporting separatist spirits and inspiring Americans to fight for their independence (at that very moment, the break between America and England was imminent). He described his thoughts in a wonderful tract Common Sense, that according to G. Washington, revolutionized the minds. Later, Thomas Paine's arguments were reflected in The Independence Declaration, written by Jefferson.
