Summary

The New Atlantis by Francis Bacon is a visionary work of early modern literature that explores the possibilities of knowledge, society, and human progress. Written in the 17th century, this philosophical and utopian tale imagines an ideal society founded on reason, discovery, and the pursuit of knowledge, offering timeless insights that continue to resonate in the modern world.

The story follows a group of European explorers who, after being lost at sea, arrive on the mysterious island of Bensalem. They discover a highly advanced society that combines scientific achievement, social harmony, and moral wisdom. The inhabitants of Bensalem have cultivated knowledge through systematic research, experimentation, and education, placing the pursuit of truth and the betterment of society at the center of their culture.

Central to Bensalem's prosperity is Salomon's House, an institution devoted to learning, scientific inquiry, and technological innovation. Bacon's depiction of this institution anticipates modern research laboratories and academies, highlighting the transformative power of knowledge when used responsibly for the common good. Beyond science, the island's society embodies ethical governance, social cohesion, and spiritual depth, showing how human ingenuity can harmonize with moral virtue.

Through elegant prose and imaginative vision, The New Atlantis explores the relationship between discovery and society, science and morality, and human ambition and responsibility. Bacon invites readers to reflect on the role of knowledge in shaping a just and enlightened society, making this work a profound exploration of human potential.

A timeless classic of utopian literature, The New Atlantis remains an essential read for those interested in philosophy, science, and the enduring quest to understand and improve the human condition.

    “An exceptional study. The author of the book has had the audacity to approach Russian chaos... armed with her desire to prove that the country is by no means a madhouse but simply an immense space, difficult to access for the outsider who is unfamiliar with Russian traditions, history and mentality.” Lyubova Klobukova, Izvestia. 
 
“Alla Sergueeva’s book is highly topical. The author loves Russia, cares about its people, is proud of its history, culture and science.” Vladimir Nogovsky, Russian Thought.
 
Should a foreigner accept an invitation to the Russian baths? How many glasses of vodka should you drink in one go before trying to refuse? Why do Russians endure life at great sacrifice? What is “Russian happiness” made of? And above all, what’s new in 21st-century Russia?
Over the past fifteen years, the “mysterious Slavic soul” has undergone unprecedented metamorphosis. It was time to draw up an exhaustive inventory of the new way of life and psychology of the Russians.

    "Truly, this is a book that belongs on the shelves of not just wrestling fans, but anyone who wants to understand the agonized American soul." ―Josephine Riesman, author of Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America 
 
Professional wrestling is both a cultural phenomenon and a multibillion-dollar industry that has launched some of the biggest names in entertainment. But what does it take for a wrestler to break through? In Rough House, journalist Alison Lyn Miller introduces Hunter James, an aspiring star born into a family of wrestlers in Georgia. Hunter lifts, runs, and pounds protein, sculpting himself into a human action figure with the goal of being signed by a major promotion and finishing what his father started. Miller's immersive, unforgettable account shows us what happens when Hunter enters the bruising world of indie wrestling―where gymnasiums become arenas, trampolines serve as training grounds, and young men fight for glory. 
 
Rich with drama, humor, and heart, Rough House is a ringside seat to a coming-of-age story that reveals the escapism, self-actualization, performance, and violence inherent in one of America's most dismissed pastimes. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the spectacle, this true story will leave you cheering for more.

    It cannot but seem a paradox to say that the Thirteenth was the greatest of centuries. To most people the idea will appear at once so preposterous that they may not even care to consider it. A certain number, of course, will have their curiosity piqued by the thought that anyone should evolve so curious a notion. Either of these attitudes of mind will yield at once to a more properly receptive mood if it is recalled that the Thirteenth is the century of the Gothic cathedrals, of the foundation of the university, of the signing of Magna Charta, and of the origin of representative government with something like constitutional guarantees throughout the west of Europe. The cathedrals represent a development in the arts that has probably never been equaled either before or since. The university was a definite creation of these generations that has lived and maintained its usefulness practically in the same form in which it was then cast for the seven centuries ever since. The foundation stones of modern liberties are to be found in the documents which for the first time declared the rights of man during this precious period.
