Beschreibung

In 'The Crocodile,' Fyodor Dostoyevsky weaves a satirical yet poignant narrative that explores the absurdities of human existence and societal conventions. Written in 1865, this novella employs a unique blend of dark humor and philosophical insight, showcasing Dostoyevsky's gift for character development and dialogue. The story chronicles the bizarre events that unfold when a man is swallowed by a crocodile in a Petersburg shop, ultimately delving into themes of egoism, the nature of reality, and the complexities of social interaction. The literary style reflects Dostoyevsky's commitment to existential inquiry, pushing readers to confront the mysteries of human behavior amidst an increasingly surreal scenario. Dostoyevsky, a towering figure in Russian literature, faced numerous personal struggles, including poverty and political exile, which deeply influenced his literary voice. His understanding of the human psyche, shaped by experiences of suffering and redemption, imbues 'The Crocodile' with layers of meaning. This novella serves as a microcosm of his broader philosophical perspectives, particularly concerning the absurdities inherent in human motives and societal expectations. For readers seeking a blend of humor and deep existential thought, 'The Crocodile' is an essential exploration of the human condition. Dostoyevsky'Äôs incisive commentary, delivered through the lens of absurdity, invites reflection on the intricacies of human motives. This classic unabridged edition beckons both seasoned Dostoyevsky enthusiasts and newcomers to engage with a text rich in paradox and insight.

    Foreword by Professor Emma Smith.The more you explore the plays of Shakespeare, the more you realise how they are an interrelated network of ideas and themes - linked to his context, his audience and his understanding of the world. In Bringing Forth the Bard, Zoe Enser equips busy teachers with the core knowledge that will enable them to make links between the themes, characters, language and allusions in Shakespeare's oeuvre. Each chapter includes tips on how to bring his plays to life in the classroom, and features case studies from practising teachers in a range of contexts to illustrate how they can ensure that their students develop an appreciation of his work - moving beyond the requirements of exams and empowering them to engage in the discussion around his influence and enduring appeal.Underpinned by the author's academic enquiries on the subject, at both undergraduate and master's level, the book enables teachers to access the information they need in order to enrich their teaching beyond a single play and begin to unpick the threads of Shakespeare's work as a whole. The link between subject knowledge and pedagogical approaches runs throughout the book, focusing on the Shakespeare plays most popularly taught in the classroom and how we can enrich students' understanding of these by looking both at the links across the domain and the bigger picture his work presents.Zoe builds a detailed schema of Shakespeare's work, his world, his ideas and his influences - and offers signposts to further reading and provides an appendix which will support teachers to rapidly find references to the plays they are teaching, and the ideas related to them.Suitable for teachers of English in all phases.

    Axiom Award Bronze Medalist for Women / BIPOC in Business 
    A deeply personal call to action for women of color to find power from within and to join together in community, advocating for a new corporate environment where we all belong—and are accepted—on our own terms. 
    Women of color comprise one of the fastest-growing segments in the corporate workforce, yet often we are underrepresented—among the first, few, or only ones in a department or company. For too long, corporate structures, social zeitgeist, and cultural conditioning have left us feeling exhausted and downtrodden, believing that in order to “fit in” and be successful, we must hide or change who we are. 
    As a former senior partner at a large global services firm, Deepa Purushothaman experienced these feelings of isolation and burnout. She met with hundreds of other women of color across industries and cultural backgrounds, eager to hear about their unique and shared experiences. In doing so, she has come to understand our collective setbacks—and the path forward in achieving our goals.   
    Business must evolve—and women of color have the potential to lead that transformation. We must begin by pushing back against toxic messaging—including the things we tell ourselves—while embracing the valuable cultural viewpoints and experiences that give us unique perspectives at work. By fully realizing our own strengths, we can build collective power and use it to confront microaggressions, outdated norms, and workplace misconceptions; create cultures where belonging is never conditional; and rework corporations to be genuinely inclusive to all. 
    The First, the Few, the Only is a road map for us to make a profound impact within and outside our organizations while ensuring that our words are heard, our lived experiences are respected, and our contributions are finally valued.

    We all have stories of our life experiences, and they shape our perceptions - sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. But what happens when the stories we tell ourselves about our limitations and past challenges become obstacles to further growth? That's when unlearning begins. This framework provides a path for visionaries to break through self-imposed barriers, foster adaptability in their personal and professional spaces, and maximize their full potential. I synthesized ten tenets of unlearning that I observed in my own life and used specifically as a powerful method for growth. These tenets are the guideposts of unlearning. I share snippets of my story as a testament to the power of unlearning. However, this writing is not about dwelling on past experiences, whether they be mine or yours. Instead, it's a guide to crafting the future you desire. These ten transformative tenets of unlearning will help you build a more empowered, adaptable future.
