Sinopse

In "The Complete Essays, Literary Studies, Criticism, Cryptography & Autography," Edgar Allan Poe showcases his multifaceted genius as a writer, critic, and theorist. This collection brings together a diverse array of essays that span the realms of literary critique, aesthetic philosophy, and the burgeoning fields of cryptography and autography. Poe's literary style is marked by its precision, depth, and often macabre undertones, reflecting the complexities of the human experience and the intricacies of the written word. His critical essays not only dissect contemporary literary works but also formulate theories that would later influence modern literary criticism, bridging the romantic and gothic traditions of his era with emerging American literary identities. Poe, often regarded as the father of the modern short story and a pioneer of detective fiction, drew from his tumultuous personal life and sharp intellect to create a body of work that interrogates the very nature of art and authorship. His experiences with tragedy, loss, and mental anguish imbue his essays with a profound psychological insight, allowing readers to glimpse the mind of a writer grappling with the burdens of creativity and societal expectations. This compelling collection is a must-read for scholars, aspiring writers, and literature enthusiasts alike. It offers invaluable insights into Poe's literary philosophy and serves as a testament to his enduring influence on American literature. By delving into this volume, readers will not only appreciate the nuances of Poe's thought but also gain a deeper understanding of the literary culture of the 19th century.

    This is the extraordinary story of how salt fish from Shetland became one of the staple foods of Europe, powered an economic boom, and inspired artists, writers, and musicians. 
     
     
     
    It ranges from the wild waters of the North Atlantic, the ice-filled fjords of Greenland and the remote islands of Faroe to the dining tables of London's middle classes, the bacalao restaurants of Spain and the Jewish shtetls of Eastern Europe. 
     
     
     
    As well as following the historical thread and exploring how very different cultures were drawn together by the salt fish trade, John Goodlad meets those whose lives revolve around the industry in the twenty-first century and addresses today's pressing themes of sustainability, climate change, and food choices.

    We Philogists

    Friedrich Nietzsche

    “We Philologists” is an early text written by Friedrich Nietzsche around 1874, but it was only published after his death in 1900. The title refers to philology - the study of ancient languages - which was Nietzsche’s academic specialty prior to venturing into philosophy full-time. In this intriguing early paper, Nietzsche describes his fellow philologists’ physical and mental proclivities with the barbed frankness which soon became his signature style. This book is considered by scholars to be a series of drafted notes sketching out the principles of a book rather than a standalone treatise in their own right.

    The Last Kings of Macedonia and...

    In the history of ancient Macedonia, the last three Antigonid kings—Philip V, his son Perseus, and the pretender Andriscus or Philip VI—are commonly overlooked in favor of their predecessors Philip II and his son Alexander the Great, who established a Macedonian empire. By the time Philip V became king, Macedonia was no longer an imperial power and Rome was fast spreading its dominance over the Mediterranean. Viewed as postscripts to the kingdom's heyday, the last Macedonian kings are often denounced for self-serving ambitions, flawed policies, and questionable personal qualities by hostile ancient writers. They are condemned for defeats by Rome that saw both the end of the monarchy and the fall of the formidable Macedonian phalanx before the Roman legion. 
     
     
     
    Producing the first full-scale treatment of Philip V in eighty years and the first in English of Perseus and Andriscus in more than fifty, Ian Worthington argues that this period was far from a postscript to Macedonia's Classical greatness and disagrees that the last Antigonid kings were merely collateral damage in Rome's ascendancy in the east. Despite superior Roman manpower and resources, Philip and Perseus often had the upper hand in their wars against Rome. As Worthington asserts, these kings deserve to be remembered for striving to preserve their kingdom's independence against staggering odds.

    Everyday Freedom - Designing the...

    Philip K. Howard

    Something basic is missing in our culture. Americans know it. Nothing much works as it should. Simple daily choices seem impossible, or fraught with peril. In the workplace, we walk on eggshells. Big projects get stalled in years of review. Endemic social problems such as homelessness become, well, more endemic. 
     
     
     
    Everyday Freedom offers a radical reinterpretation of the corrosion of American culture. The assault on authority after the 1960s, aimed at enhancing freedom, instead created a plague of powerlessness. The teacher in the classroom, the principal in a school, the nurse in the hospital, the official in Washington, the parent on a field trip . . . all have their hands tied. Things don't work, and Americans have lost the freedom to be themselves. 
     
     
     
    Everyday Freedom offers a radical vision for change: Re-empower Americans in their everyday choices. The massive legal structures erected since the 1960s were based on flawed notions that human judgment could be replaced by elaborate dictates. These failed structures must be replaced with simpler frameworks activated by human responsibility and accountability. Nothing will work sensibly until Americans are free to draw on their skills, intuitions, and values when confronting daily challenges. This is the only cure to alienation. This is also the only way to deliver good government.
