Summary

Young Dexter Green falls in love, while still a teenager, with a rich and beautiful maiden, Judy Jones. He attends a famous university, plays golf on the courses of St. Paul, becomes a prominent businessman and succeeds in winning the woman he loves, but the love lasts only a month: the woman he has loved so much has now lost all her beauty, and this loss is the loss of his "winter dreams." Set against the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties, the story explores themes of ambition, unrequited love, and the disillusionment that accompanies the pursuit of the American Dream.

    Time of My Life The: Dirty Dancing

    An engaging exploration into the enduring popularity of Dirty Dancing and its lasting themes of feminism, activism, and reproductive rights 
     
    When Dirty Dancing was released in 1987, it had already been rejected by producers and distributors several times over, and expectations for the summer romance were low. But then the film, written by former dancer Eleanor Bergstein and starring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze as a couple from two different worlds, exploded. Since then, Dirty Dancing’s popularity has never waned. The truth has always been that Dirty Dancing was never just a teen romance or a dance movie — it also explored abortion rights, class, and political activism, with a smattering of light crime-solving. 
     
    In The Time of My Life, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner excavates the layers of Dirty Dancing, from its anachronistic, chart-topping soundtrack, to Baby and Johnny’s chemistry, to Bergstein’s political intentions, to the abortion subplot that is more relevant today than ever. The film’s remarkable longevity would never have been possible if it was just a throwaway summer fling story. It is precisely because of its themes — deeply feminist, sensitively written — that we, over 30 years later, are still holding our breath during that last, exhilarating lift.

    In a world obsessed with appearances, hookups, and hustle culture, Social Climbing Through Sex: The Evolutionary Elevator delivers a brutally honest, darkly humorous, and disturbingly true exposé on how sexual strategy shapes success. Combining evolutionary biology, psychology, gender politics, and historical case studies, this book unpacks the unapologetic truth: sex is not just about pleasure—it's a currency, a ladder, a tool of power. 
    From primal instincts to Instagram thirst traps, from Cleopatra to corporate courtesans, this book traces the ancient and modern tactics of those who ascend society through desire rather than merit. Women who withhold, men who flaunt, and everyone in between—this is not about morality. It's about mechanism. 
    Explore why celibacy is a power move, why desire doesn't equal value, and how modern archetypes like the Cool Girl, the Virgin Strategist, and the Evolved Escort aren't just real—they're thriving. 
    Whether you're a student of human nature or just curious about what lies beneath the glossy surface of dating apps, weddings, and bedroom "empowerment," this book offers a chilling revelation: love may be blind, but sex wears designer sunglasses and always looks up.

    This bundle of books delves into humanity’s deepest questions through three profound fields of philosophy—Teleology, Phenomenology, and Eschatology. This 3-in-1 volume offers a rich and thought-provoking journey through purpose, perception, and the end of existence. 
    In the first section, Teleology, readers explore the concept of purpose in nature, history, and human life. From Aristotle’s final causes to modern interpretations of design and destiny, this section unpacks how philosophers and scientists have interpreted meaning in a seemingly chaotic universe. 
    Phenomenology takes center stage in the second section, inviting readers into the study of lived experience and consciousness. Tracing the work of Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, this section reveals how we perceive and interpret the world from a first-person point of view. It’s a dive into perception, intentionality, and the structures of experience. 
    Finally, Eschatology examines the philosophical and theological discourse surrounding the ultimate destiny of humanity and the universe. Whether through religious traditions, secular speculation, or metaphysical inquiry, this section explores endings, finality, and the deep questions of what lies beyond the limits of life and time. 
    Together, these three domains form a comprehensive introduction to advanced philosophical thinking, ideal for students, seekers, and anyone intrigued by the questions that shape our understanding of reality.
