Synopsis

In "Dickens by Chesterton," G. K. Chesterton offers a profound and incisive examination of Charles Dickens' literary oeuvre, capturing the essence of the Victorian era through a unique lens. Written in Chesterton's characteristic wit and eloquence, the book explores themes such as social justice, moral dilemmas, and the interplay between light and darkness in Dickens' characters. The author employs a blend of biographical context and literary analysis, providing insights that illustrate Dickens' role as not merely an entertainer but also a critical commentator on the societal issues of his time. G. K. Chesterton, an influential early 20th-century writer, journalist, and theologian, was profoundly shaped by his own experiences of social and religious upheaval. His admiration for Dickens is evident not only in his detailed critiques but also in his understanding of the man behind the stories. Chesterton'Äôs own Christian worldview and quest for truth resonate in his interpretation, portraying Dickens as a champion of the underprivileged, while also revealing the complexities within his moral framework. For readers seeking to deepen their understanding of Dickens and the social fabric of his narratives, "Dickens by Chesterton" is an essential addition to the literary canon. It serves as both a tribute and an analysis that invites readers to appreciate the enduring relevance of Dickens'Äô work while gaining insight into the critical mind of Chesterton himself.

    In the turbulent centuries of empire, the Caribbean was not merely a battlefield of nations, it was the beating heart of a global underground. Pirates of Empire reveals how smugglers, privateers, and rogue traders built an illicit economy that reshaped the Atlantic world, fueling fortunes, revolutions, and the birth of modern capitalism itself. 
    From Havana to Port Royal, from Bristol’s counting houses to the hidden coves of Hispaniola, Davis Truman uncovers the shadow networks that thrived beneath imperial rule. These were the real architects of the empire’s wealth, men and women who blurred the line between outlaw and entrepreneur, freedom and servitude, conquest and survival. Their ships carried more than plunder: they carried people, ideas, and commodities that transformed continents. 
    With gripping storytelling and cutting-edge scholarship, Pirates of Empire reframes piracy not as rebellion against empire, but as its indispensable partner. It exposes how colonial powers quietly relied on black markets to sustain their ambitions, and how these hidden economies gave rise to the modern Caribbean, multicultural, volatile, and endlessly creative. 
    Blending adventure and analysis, Pirates of Empire invites readers to sail into the murky waters where legality and legitimacy collided, and where the foundations of the modern world were forged in contraband and courage.

    We Two From Heaven - A Memoir

    'A boldly imagined and beautifully written memoir. Whyle's prose is finely tuned, unflinching in its approach to painful subjects, but also laced with wry humour and the sheer delight of being alive.' – Ivan Vladislavic
    We Two from Heaven is a singular memoir, a four-part fugue on the tricks and traps of memory, a shuffling of the cards of time. Episodes from the early life of writer James Whyle are interwoven with the letters of his father from the Western Front during the First World War. Their formative experiences – war, conscription, injury, desertion – flash by, juxtaposed, as if in counterpoint.
    Upending the reader's expectations of a memoir, Whyle then explores the violence and madness of apartheid society as the narrator passes through boarding school and university and takes his first steps to become a writer. Raw and rhythmic, lyrical and caustic, this is an unsparing, formally inventive dissection of human vanities and illusions.
    At the end of history, on the shores of a blue bay, the voices of the past can be heard as we await the arrival of the barbarians – or the baboons, whoever comes first.

    Philosophy - the term sounds fascinating, beautiful, somehow romantic and harmonious, and at the same time like great intellectual effort. Yet philosophy is actually neither particularly romantic nor particularly strenuous.
    It is true that one has to use one's brain, and perhaps some things exceed normal common sense, but basically philosophy only means to be interested in man and the world. The image one has in one's mind of ancient Greek philosophers strolling in their long robes in the Athenian sun while exchanging their thoughts may seem romantic, but they often dealt with serious topics and many did not only make friends with their sometimes revolutionary thoughts.
    In this guide, I would like to give you a first insight into the great subject of philosophy and also bring it closer to you in a practical way. After an explanation of what philosophy is exactly and what it deals with concretely, I would like to introduce you not only some important philosophical currents and wisdoms of the philosophers, but also give you some exercises and tips on the way so that you can easily integrate philosophy into your life.
