Sinopse

In "The Complete Essays, Literary Studies, Criticism, Cryptography & Autography," Edgar Allan Poe showcases his multifaceted genius as a writer, critic, and theorist.

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.

Lincoln - A Very Short Introduction

Allen C. Guelzo

Beneath the surface of the apparently untutored and deceptively frank Abraham Lincoln ran private tunnels of self-taught study, a restless philosophical curiosity, and a profound grasp of the fundamentals of democracy. Now, in Lincoln: A Very Short Introduction, the award-winning Lincoln authority Allen C. Guelzo offers a penetrating look into the mind of one of our greatest presidents. 
 
 
 
Guelzo takes us on a wide-ranging exploration of problems that confronted Lincoln and liberal democracy—equality, opportunity, the rule of law, slavery, freedom, peace, and his legacy. The Lincoln we meet here is an Enlightenment figure who struggled to create a common ground between a people focused on individual rights and a society eager to establish a certain moral, philosophical, and intellectual bedrock. Lincoln insisted that liberal democracy had a higher purpose, which was the realization of a morally right political order. But how to interject that sense of moral order into a system that values personal self-satisfaction—"the pursuit of happiness"—remains a fundamental dilemma even today. 
 
 
 
Guelzo paints a marvelous portrait of this Lincoln—Lincoln the man of ideas—providing new insights into one of the giants of American history.

Keir Starmer: The Biography

Tom Baldwin

THE BESTSELLING BIOGRAPHY OF THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER 
A Times Book of the Year; A Telegraph Book of the Year; A Daily Mail Book of the Year; A Waterstones Book of the Year 
‘Required reading for anyone who has an interest in who governs Britain' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL 
'This will be the most important political book of the year’ MATTHEW D’ANCONA, EVENING STANDARD 
This authoritative – but not authorised – biography by Tom Baldwin provides answers by drawing deeply on many hours of interviews with Prime Minister himself, as well as unprecedented access to members of his family, his oldest friends and closest colleagues. 
Together, they tell an unexpectedly intimate story filled with feelings of grief and love that has driven him on more than any rigid ideology or loyalty to a particular faction. 
The book tracks Starmer’s emergence from a troubled small town background and rebellious youth, through a storied legal career as a human rights barrister and the country’s chief prosecutor, to becoming an MP relatively late in life. 
Baldwin provides a vivid and compelling account of how this untypical politician then rose to be leader of his party in succession to Jeremy Corbyn, then transformed it with a ruthless rapidity that has enraged opponents from the left just as much as it has bewildered those on the right. 
Above all, this is a book that should be read by anyone who wants to understand how someone who has too often been underestimated or dismissed as dull, now intends to change Britain. 
'The first serious and consistently readable biography of Starmer…It is a wonder that he has said so much to Baldwin' PATRICK MAGUIRE, THE TIMES 
'This is an absolutely riveting and very timely biography' AMOL RAJAN 
‘Highly readable… Baldwin has peeled back more layers than anyone else' ROBERT SHRIMSLEY, FINANCIAL TIMES 
This Sunday Times bestselling book is a journey through the history of democracy in the 21st century. It's an autobiography that explores the ideologies and processes that have shaped European politics. 
For fans of Rory Stewart (Politics On the Edge), and Bob Woodward (The Final Days). 
HarperCollins 2024

American Poly - A History

Christopher M. Gleason

Recent studies have found that as many as one in five Americans have experimented with some form of sexual non-monogamy, and approximately one in fifteen knows someone who was or is polyamorous. The mainstream media has increasingly covered polyamorous lifestyles and the committed relationships of throuples, and dating apps have added polyamory as a status option. 
 
 
 
This book is the first history to trace the evolution of polyamorous thought and practice within the broader context of American culture. Drawing on personal journals and letters, underground newsletters, and publications from the Kinsey Institute Archives, among other sources, it reconstructs polyamory's intellectual foundations, highlighting its unique blend of conservative political thought and countercultural spiritualism. Christopher M. Gleason locates its early foundations in the Roaring Twenties among bohemians. In the 1950s and 1960s it surprisingly emerged among libertarian science fiction writers. Throughout the 1990s, polyamorists utilized the internet to spread their ideas, often undermining any remaining religious or spiritual significance their ideas held. 
 
 
 
Offering an original perspective on sexuality, marriage, and the family, American Poly reveals the history of polyamory in the United States from fringe practice to a new stage of the sexual revolution.
