Synopsis

In "Henrik Ibsen," Edmund Gosse delivers a profound examination of one of the most influential playwrights of the modern era. With an incisive literary style characterized by eloquence and analytical depth, Gosse navigates Ibsen's life and works, uncovering the complexities of his character and the societal impacts of his plays. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a pivotal time bursting with intellectual upheaval, the book immerses the reader in Ibsen's struggles to challenge conventional morality and promote individualism through his groundbreaking theater. Gosse, a noted poet and critic himself, had a deep admiration for Ibsen, recognizing him as a transformative figure in literature. Having been shaped by the currents of Victorian thought and the burgeoning modernist movement, Gosse's insights are informed by his own cultural milieu, which wrestled with similar questions of identity and existentialism. His ability to dissect complex themes reflects his comprehensive knowledge of literary traditions and an intimate understanding of Ibsen's context. This book is an essential read for scholars, students, and theater enthusiasts alike, as it not only illuminates Ibsen's oeuvre but also engages with the broader implications of his revolutionary ideas. Gosse's lucid prose and thoughtful analysis make it a perfect companion for anyone seeking to explore the intricate tapestry of modern drama and the enduring legacy of Henrik Ibsen.

The Fortunate Child

MAXINE SUE FELLER

It was a long, sometimes devastating, journey Maxine was forced to undertake through the depths of despair as a preschooler, and then on through a tumultuous adolescence during which she was ignored yet at the same time abused by a uncaring mother who daily left her with a malevolent grandmother who similarly mistreated her. 
		Instructed by her divorced mother to no longer call her Mama, in an effort to enhance her own marketability as a perspective wife to some unsuspecting man. 
		Fortunately, Maxine was endowed with the guiles and street smarts that allowed her to survive. The pain of her youth was converted, of necessity, into the toughness and unwillingness to accept what appeared to be inevitable. As the result of her own perseverance and courage she was accepted and graduated from Brooklyn College. 
		Separating herself from her horrendous past, she resurrected her life by achieving success as a school teacher, a wife and, ultimately, a mother and grandmother. Along the way, she became proficient as a stock trader, thus providing herself and her family the additional financial and emotional security she was deprived of in her early years. 
		Maxine reflects on her life as an independent success story.

Forgiving Humanity - How the...

Peter Russell

Why has the most innovative of species become so dangerous? The answer, suggests Peter Russell, lies in humanity’s accelerating pace of development. He shows how innovation breeds further innovation—a positive feedback loop leading to exponential rates of change. But our minds cannot grasp the full implications of exponential growth. We think more in terms of linear change, leading to a blind spot on the future.
However fast the pace of change may be today, it will be even faster in the years to come, bringing ever more rapid scientific and technological advances. But ever-accelerating change also creates stress on the systems involved. The faster the change, the greater the stress, and the more likely systemic breakdown. We are heading into a future with technology beyond our dreams, but in a world that is breaking at the seams.
Russell argues there is no blame for this. Spiraling rates of development, with all their consequences, positive and negative, are the inevitable fate of any intelligent, technologically-empowered species.
How do we live with such unsettling conclusions? How can we prepare for a world that is becoming increasingly unpredictable? What does it mean for the future of humanity?
Peter Russell, the widely acclaimed author of The Global Brain and other pioneering works, earned an honors degree in theoretical physics and psychology —as well as a masters degree in computer science —at the University of Cambridge. He subsequently went to India where he explored meditation and Eastern philosophy, and was one of the first people to introduce personal development programs to corporations in the 1970s. His other books include The TM Technique, The Upanishads, Waking Up in Time, From Science to God, and Letting Go of Nothing.
