Synopsis

In "The Victorian Age in Literature," G. K. Chesterton offers a sweeping and incisive examination of the literary landscape of the Victorian era, exploring the interplay between society, politics, and art. Through a series of essays, Chesterton illuminates the contributions of key figures such as George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and the Brontë sisters, while deftly contrasting their distinct styles and ideologies. With a wit that is at once playful and piercing, Chesterton situates Victorian literature within the broader cultural trends of the time, revealing how it both shaped and reflected the complexities of an age undergoing rapid change and industrialization. As a prominent writer and literary critic, Chesterton's own experiences and philosophical inclinations profoundly influenced his perspective. His background in theology and deep appreciation for fiction provided him with a unique lens through which to assess the moral and spiritual dimensions of Victorian literature. A vocal advocate for the value of imagination and creativity, Chesterton critiques the era's materialism while championing the enduring power of storytelling. For readers seeking a deeper understanding of the Victorian literary canon, Chesterton's work is an essential companion. His vibrant prose invites both scholars and general readers alike to re-engage with classics and discover the resonances of the past in contemporary times, making this book not just a scholarly text but a celebratory homage to an influential literary age.

    Is Africa Turning Against the West?

    In the past few years, the evolving global landscape has drawn increasing attention to the positioning of African countries on major international issues. Much emphasis has been placed on African voting and diplomatic stances in international fora, political rhetoric and protests, all seemingly pointing to a shift towards a more critical approach vis à vis traditional Western partners. At the same time, non-alignment, a notion that for some retained a merely historical value, has gained new impetus as a principle guiding a number of countries of the Global South, suggesting a break in the relationship with old and new partners. This report investigates the nature and reasons of the growing anti-Western sentiment in sub Saharan Africa, combining an analysis of the current international context with a look at the long term. Is the gap between Africa and the West really expanding? What are the reasons and the possible consequences? What can be done to turn criticism into a more profound, mutual understanding?

    Michael's charismatic and highly successful wife Maggie showed the first signs of dementia in her mid-fifties. His experience of caring for her is quite exceptional: he lived with her in a care home for nine years, overseeing every aspect of her care and medical treatment. Michael chose to do this as an act of love, not wanting to be separated from his wife nor to leave her alone. But the result was that a highly experienced business consultant lived inside the care system for nine years, observing, guiding and negotiating care and medical treatment on Maggie's behalf, and is now able to share that story. In the experience of care professionals, this is unique. The lessons he learnt are so important that he has been urged by senior figures in the care sector to share his experience for the benefit of others and to promote much needed changes in the current care system.
