Beschreibung

Elinor Glyn's 'Halcyone' is a captivating novel that delves into themes of love, ambition, and societal expectations. Set in the refined world of British high society, the book follows the titular character, a young woman who navigates the complexities of romance and self-discovery. Glyn's prose is elegant and evocative, painting vivid portraits of the characters and their intricate relationships. Written in the early 20th century, 'Halcyone' reflects the author's fascination with the inner lives of women and the constraints placed upon them by society. The novel is a compelling exploration of female agency and the pursuit of personal fulfillment amidst societal norms. Glyn's keen insight into human emotions and her gift for storytelling make 'Halcyone' a timeless classic worth revisiting. Readers will be drawn into the enchanting world that Glyn has crafted, filled with drama, passion, and poignant moments of introspection.

    Is male 'supremachism' really over? The pages you are holding in your hands sow doubts on the common belief that the governance of 'the macho' came to its end. As the proverb confirms, 'the old dies hard', despite the yet-to-improve individual and institutional efforts to achieve gender equality. With the serious tone this capital issue requires, the author debunks the myth of male supremacism as a phenomenon from a past and raises awareness of the subliminal survival of the supremachist ideological apparatus. Subtlety reveals as a key factor for the survival of subliminal supremachist campaigns, which threatens a promising future of non-discrimination. Essentially, democratic citizenship must pose itself a crucial question: Are current Western societies' concessions to feminism genuine or a cover by supremachism to survive in an ideologically volatile world?

    Born in 1800, William Holmes McGuffey had a remarkable ability to memorize, and could commit to mind entire books of the Bible. After becoming a teacher at the age of 14, classroom size was just one of several challenges faced by McGuffey. 
    In many one-teacher schools, students' ages varied from six to twenty-one, and few textbooks existed. In 1835, a publishing firm asked McGuffey to create a series of graded Readers for primary level students. The series consisted of stories, poems, essays and speeches and it is estimated that at least 120 million copies of McGuffey's Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary. 
    Since 1961 they have continued to sell at a rate of some 30,000 copies a year. No other textbook bearing a single person's name has come close to that mark.
