Beschreibung

In "Titanic," Filson Young masterfully chronicles the harrowing tragedy of the RMS Titanic through a blend of descriptive narrative and factual recounting. His literary style is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a vivid portrayal of the ship's grandeur and the stark realities of its fateful voyage. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century maritime innovation, Young's narrative does not merely recount events but immerses readers in the societal attitudes and technological advancements of the era, offering a poignant reflection on human hubris and tragedy. Filson Young, a prominent British author and journalist, exemplified a passion for maritime affairs and a fascination with the interplay of technology and human experience. His rich background in sailing and his position as a literary figure in a time of significant progress allowed him to approach the Titanic disaster with both empathy and critical insight. Young's firsthand experiences and extensive research serve as a foundation for his compelling narrative, ultimately seeking to humanize the lives tragically lost while examining the ship itself as a symbol of its age. This book is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the confluence of history, technology, and human resilience. Young's evocative prose and deep understanding of the Titanic disaster will captivate not only maritime enthusiasts but also general readers interested in the broader implications of this tragedy. Dive into "Titanic" for an enlightening exploration of one of history's most infamous maritime disasters.

    In this sequel to The History of Sexuality, Volume I: An Introduction, the brilliantly original French thinker who died in 1984 gives an analysis of how the ancient Greeks perceived sexuality. 
     
     
     
    Throughout The Use of Pleasure Foucault analyzes an irresistible array of ancient Greek texts on eroticism as he tries to answer basic questions: How in the West did sexual experience become a moral issue? And why were other appetites of the body, such as hunger, and collective concerns, such as civic duty, not subjected to the numberless rules and regulations and judgments that have defined, if not confined, sexual behavior?

    It's one of modern history's most beloved sci-fi creations and while the Doctor is revered world-round, what about their companions, friends and acquaintances along the way? For all the time travel and extravagant alien worlds, Doctor Who is often at its best when it looks to you, the average viewer, and how the lives and values of us human beings are actually spectacular.
    The cup of tea or coffee we make in the morning, the relationships we carry and lose in life, the routines we love and hate, the vinegar-soaked chippies we have at night – they might look mundane against the spectacle of the Doctor but what if it's us, the humans, who are the fantastical ones?
    In We're Falling Through Space, J. David Reed investigates how Doctor Who uses its larger-than-life lens to consider how the mundane is a lot more special than we might realise. As one of the Doctors put it, 'Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important before.'
