Sinopsis

In 'Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature - 5. The Romantic School in France,' Georg Brandes offers a profound exploration of the Romantic movement's evolution in French literature. This analytical work dissects the thematic and stylistic elements that define the period, emphasizing the interplay between individual emotion and societal constructs. Brandes employs a scholarly yet accessible prose style, framing the Romantic school within broader cultural and philosophical contexts, illustrating how figures such as Hugo, Lamartine, and Musset engaged with contemporary issues of nationalism, identity, and existential angst. His critique notably highlights the movement's reaction against Enlightenment rationalism, showcasing a transition toward sublime emotional expression and experimentation in form. Georg Brandes, a prominent Danish literary critic and advocate for modernism, was deeply influenced by the burgeoning European literary scene. Living through a time of significant cultural upheaval, Brandes's insights are shaped by his commitment to challenging traditional literary frameworks. His previous works established him as a pivotal figure in the introduction of naturalism and modernism to Scandinavian literature, which set the stage for his nuanced treatment of the Romantic period, especially in France, where he caught the vibrancy of the movement. This scholarly volume is essential for anyone seeking to understand the Romantic era's nuances in French literature. Brandes's insightful analysis not only enriches one's appreciation of the texts but also situates them within a larger historical narrative. It is an indispensable resource for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of literary movements, offering a profound understanding of how Romanticism shaped both literature and cultural discourse.

Aliens Explained

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
There have been many attempts to encapsulate and explain the many mysteries that surround us; these include everything from the contents of the Vatican Secret Archives, the paranormal and Ufology and even subjects that seem to slip between the cracks of reality into the realm of high strangeness. 
 
And now the United States government has finally admitted that many of the unexplained sightings of craft may very well be alien technology. 
 
This book draws on all of these threads as it weaves its way thought the many twists, turns and possibilities that define the subjects discussed. 
 
Just about all of the subjects examined are interlinked at one level or another. It is as if the ancient eastern concept of ‘oneness’ was recognised by our forefathers, long before the arcane physics of quantum mechanics demonstrated its reality. Perhaps this is a contributing factor to the belief that all points in space and time are interconnected. In fact it is thought that this peculiarity is how UFOs manage to traverse the incredible distances between the stars and perhaps even the galaxies. 
 
Of course from our current level of knowledge, the ‘mechanics’ of such a technology can only be speculated upon. Or can it? We’re about to discover. 
 
This book will discover and explain who these aliens are, how they come and why.
