Synopsis

In "Joseph Conrad," Ford Madox Ford presents a compelling critical study that deftly intertwines biographical insights with literary analysis of one of the 20th century's most significant authors. Ford's prose is marked by an erudite yet accessible style that captures the complexity of Conrad's works and the psychological depth of his characters. Set against the backdrop of early modernism, this text explores themes of imperialism, existentialism, and the intricacies of human experience, illustrating how Conrad's maritime narratives reflect the turbulent moral landscape of his time. Ford Madox Ford, a contemporary and friend of Conrad, brings an intimate understanding of the author's life and literary vision. Drawing on their personal correspondence and shared literary circles, Ford crafts a narrative that circles both admiration and critique. His position as a novelist and editor allows him to scrutinize Conrad's innovations in narrative technique and character development, while also revealing the personal struggles that shaped his writing life, offering a rich context that only a fellow writer could provide. For readers and scholars alike, this book is essential for understanding not only the artistry of Joseph Conrad but also the broader evolution of modern literature. Ford's insightful analysis provides a gateway to deeper engagement with Conrad's canon, making this work invaluable for anyone seeking to appreciate the layers of meaning within Conrad's stories.

    Started in the wake of George Zimmerman's 2013 acquittal in the death of Trayvon Martin, the #BlackLivesMatter movement has become a powerful and incendiary campaign demanding redress for the brutal and unjustified treatment of black bodies by law enforcement in the United States. The movement is only a few years old, but as Christopher J. Lebron argues in this book, the sentiment behind it is not; the plea and demand that "Black Lives Matter" comes out of a much older and richer tradition arguing for the equal dignity—and not just equal rights—of black people. 
     
     
     
    In this updated edition, The Making of Black Lives Matter presents a condensed and accessible intellectual history of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and expands on the movement's relevancy. This edition includes a new introduction that explores how the movement's core ideas have been challenged, re-affirmed, and re-imagined during the white nationalism of the Trump years, as well as a new chapter that examines the ideas and importance of Angela Davis and Amiri Baraka as significant participants in the Black Power Movement and Black Arts Movement, respectively. Drawing on the work of Davis, Baraka, and other revolutionary black public intellectuals, Lebron clarifies what it means to assert that "Black Lives Matter" when faced with contemporary instances of anti-black law enforcement.

    This is the charming and poignant account of twenty-five years spent in Orkney. After her marriage to an islander, Christine Muir went to live on the tiny island of North Ronaldsay, where she and her husband brought up their four children and ran a small croft.
    Following the seasons though the year, Orkney Days is full of observations of the natural world at their doorstep. Beautiful descriptions of the island and its flora and fauna – from wildflowers and medicinal herbs to seals and seabirds – are mingled with memories of a young family growing up and the rhythms of daily life far from the bustle of the modern world. There is much too about the work involved in running their croft and the cattle and sheep that are its mainstay, about the traditions and lore of the island which stretch back over countless generations, and about the modern developments which changed it forever.
