Synopsis

In "Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature - 4. Naturalism in England," Georg Brandes delves into the intricacies of Naturalism as a literary movement that defined an epoch in English literature. Employing a critical yet accessible style, Brandes navigates through the era's socio-political landscape, illuminating how writers such as Thomas Hardy and George Gissing mirrored the deterministic perspectives of their time. This exploration not only outlines the philosophical underpinnings of Naturalism but also critiques its stylistic traits, emphasizing an objective narrative voice that distills the essence of reality through the lens of scientific thought. Georg Brandes, a pioneering Danish critic and public intellectual, played a significant role in shaping modern literary criticism. Influenced by the tumultuous cultural shifts of the late 19th century and the rise of Realism across Europe, Brandes sought to champion authors whose works reflected a deeper understanding of human psychology and social conditions. His extensive readings and personal interactions with key literary figures contributed to his profound insights into Naturalism and its impact on English literature. This book is essential for scholars and enthusiasts eager to grasp the complexities of Naturalism in a pivotal period of literary development. By engaging with Brandes's thorough analysis, readers will not only appreciate the works of major writers but also attain a nuanced understanding of the cultural currents that shaped their narratives.

    Martha Nussbaum is one of the most influential philosophers of our time, particularly known for her contributions to feminist theory, political philosophy, and ethics. A professor at the University of Chicago, her work spans a wide array of topics including justice, human capabilities, human rights, and the role of emotions in moral decision-making. Nussbaum’s ideas have significantly impacted both academic philosophy and practical policy, with her innovative theories offering valuable insights into the intersection of ethics, politics, and human development. 
    At the heart of Nussbaum’s intellectual journey is the development of the capabilities approach, a framework she co-created with economist Amartya Sen. This approach is centered on the idea that justice should be evaluated based on individuals’ abilities to function and achieve various important life goals, rather than simply on income or wealth. The capabilities approach emphasizes human dignity and focuses on the conditions that allow people to live lives they have reason to value. It challenges traditional views of social justice by broadening the scope of what constitutes a flourishing life beyond mere economic success. 
    Nussbaum’s feminist philosophy is also pivotal in understanding her work. As an advocate for gender equality, she has critiqued traditional philosophical frameworks that have marginalized women’s voices and experiences. Her feminist perspective emphasizes the importance of recognizing the diverse and often undervalued roles that women play in society, and she works toward reshaping institutions to ensure that women’s capabilities are supported and nurtured. Nussbaum argues that feminism is not just about advocating for women’s rights but also about advancing a more inclusive and just society for all people, regardless of gender.

    "The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844" is a socio-economic and political work by Friedrich Engels, a German philosopher and collaborator of Karl Marx. The book provides a critical analysis of the living and working conditions of the working class in England during the Industrial Revolution. Engels conducted extensive research and firsthand observations, drawing attention to the deplorable conditions faced by the working class in urban industrial centers. He explores issues such as long working hours, child labor, unsanitary living conditions, lack of workers' rights, and the exploitation of labor by the emerging industrial capitalist class. The book serves as a scathing critique of the social and economic inequalities of the time, highlighting the stark contrast between the living conditions of the working class and the affluent bourgeoisie.

    Lieutenant General James Gavin, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division during WWII, is one of the best-known figures of the war. Beginning as the commander of the 505th Parachute Combat Team that spearheaded the American assault on Sicily in July 1943, Gavin advanced to division command and finally command of US forces in Berlin. He kept a wartime diary that starts in April 1943, as the unit was preparing to go to northern Africa and continues through to his final entry on September 1, 1945, during the occupation of Berlin. 
     
     
     
    During the war years, Gavin came into close contact with virtually all the leading airborne commanders and many others who would advance to the top levels of Army leadership. His diary includes observations on fellow military and political leaders, army operations, and the general's personal life. Gavin was an officer who led by example: on four combat jumps, he was the first man out the door. 
     
     
     
    For decades, Gavin kept the existence of the journal a secret; the general's family discovered it among his belongings after his death. Editor Lewis "Bob" Sorley has worked closely with the Gavin family and the Army Heritage Center to prepare the diary for publication. His edited and annotated version includes a prologue and epilogue to frame the entries within the wider scope of the general's life.
