Beschreibung

In "Laddie," Gene Stratton-Porter crafts a poignant coming-of-age story infused with themes of nature, familial bonds, and the trials of youth. Set against the backdrop of rural Indiana, the narrative follows the adventures of a spirited young girl and her beloved brother, Laddie. Stratton-Porter's vivid descriptions and lyrical prose immerse the reader in the natural world, reflecting her deep appreciation for the flora and fauna that surround the characters. The book's literary style harmonizes personal experience with a broader commentary on the passage of time and the innocence of childhood, revealing the interconnectedness of human lives and the environment. Gene Stratton-Porter, an avid naturalist and a prominent figure in early 20th-century American literature, drew upon her own idyllic childhood experiences in creating "Laddie." Her passion for nature and wildlife, coupled with her dedication to storytelling, profoundly influenced her writing. Stratton-Porter was also a pioneering woman in the literary field, advocating for conservation and women's rights, themes that resonate through her extensive body of work, including this celebrated novel. "Laddie" is a masterful exploration of the joys and challenges of growing up, and is highly recommended for readers seeking a nostalgic yet insightful glimpse into a simpler time. Stratton-Porter's engaging narrative and rich characterizations make it a timeless read, appealing to both young and adult audiences alike who appreciate stories that celebrate the intertwined relationship between humanity and nature.

    The major work of Rabbi Moses Almosnino (1515-1580), “Conduct of Life,” remains to this day an essential reference in classical Judeo-Spanish literature, now finally available in English in its first translation. First published in Ladino in 1564 as, Sefer Hanhagat hahayim and in 1729 as “Regimiento de la vida”, this three-volume edition is part of the prestigious collection Veritas è terra orietur. The work aims to disseminate the timeless teachings of ethics, in the words of the author: “In all that has been said, my intention is only to make you understand how the one who follows the path of virtue and customs of practising good and pure knowledge since childhood, lives a happy and fulfilled life (Volume 1, chapter 2)” The third volume deals with justice (Volume 3, chapters 1-3) and friendship (chapters 4-8 and 13), love (chapter 9), the five intellectual virtues: understanding, science, wisdom, prudence, and art (chapter 10-11), and the learning of sciences as a path to virtue (chapter 12). This work presents itself as a pedagogical endeavor, intended to provide advice for leading a virtuous life.“Conduct of Life” draws heavily from the Nicomachean Ethics but transcends this source by situating itself at the universal intersection of several traditions: Greco-Arabic philosophy, Judeo-Christian scholasticism, classical Sephardic Judaism, and medieval Jewish thought. Thus, this work contributes to peace and intercultural understanding among peoples.
