Summary

In "Recollections of My Childhood and Youth," Georg Brandes offers an introspective and poignant exploration of his formative years, reflecting on the socio-cultural backdrop of 19th-century Denmark. Through a narrative style that merges candid autobiographical reflection with rich, poetic prose, Brandes delves into the complexities of memory, identity, and the intellectual currents of his time. His adept use of vivid imagery and emotional depth brings the landscapes of his youth vividly to life, allowing readers to navigate the intersection of personal development and the broader societal changes occurring during his upbringing. Georg Brandes, a prominent figure in modern literature and criticism, was a catalyst for the naturalist movement in Denmark and an advocate for existential thought. His exposure to the burgeoning ideas of liberalism, feminism, and psychological inquiry during his early years influenced his literary ambitions and philosophical inquiries. Brandes' experiences, coupled with the rich tapestry of intellectual discourse he engaged with, shaped his worldview and guided his reflections in this autobiographical work. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in the formation of individual identity against a backdrop of societal evolution. Brandes's eloquent prose and insightful reflections offer a unique lens through which to understand both the self and the world, making it an essential addition to the literary canon for those who appreciate autobiographical narratives infused with profound intellectual inquiry.

    Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading romances of chivalry that he determines to become a knight errant and pursue bold adventures, accompanied by his squire, the cunning Sancho Panza. As they roam the world together, the aging Quixote's fancy leads them wildly astray. At the same time the relationship between the two men grows in fascinating subtlety. Often considered to be the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a wonderful burlesque of the popular literature its disordered protagonist is obsessed with.

    Have you known someone who was in a cult? Do you think you know your neighbors pretty well? You really don't know what's going on behind the smile, the dress, and the doors of the house down the street. 
 
 
 
This is the story of a Canadian woman who was in the Advanced Training Institute, run by Bill Gothard, for fourteen years. The amazing thing is that she never knew she was in a cult until several years after she was out. That's what happened to Christine in 2014. She has spent the past nine years trying to deprogram and change the way she sees the world. The Advanced Training Institute had all the hallmarks of a cult, it even fit Bill Gothard's definition of a cult, but Christine and her family believed they were God's cream of the crop. Join her as she navigates the cult, goes through a divorce, finds out she was in a cult and subsequently has to unlearn all she believed to be true. Interestingly, this is the same cult the Duggar family of 19 Kids and Counting is a part of. 
 
 
 
Written with humor and candor, her story is both heart wrenching and humorous at the same time.

    Sasha LaPointe has always longed for a sense of home. When she was a child, her family moved around frequently, often staying in barely habitable church attics and trailers, dangerous places for young Sasha. 
 
 
  
With little more to guide her than a passion for the thriving punk scene of the Pacific Northwest and a desire to live up to the responsibility of being the namesake of her beloved great-grandmother—a linguist who helped preserve her Indigenous language of Lushootseed—Sasha throws herself headlong into the world, determined to build a better future for herself and her people. 
 
 
  
Set against a backdrop of the breathtaking beauty of Coast Salish ancestral land and imbued with the universal spirit of punk, Red Paint is ultimately a story of the ways we learn to find our true selves while fighting for our right to claim a place of our own. 
 
 
  
Examining what it means to be vulnerable in love and in art, Sasha offers up an unblinking reckoning with personal traumas amplified by the collective historical traumas of colonialism and genocide that continue to haunt native peoples. Red Paint is an intersectional autobiography of lineage, resilience, and, above all, the ability to heal.
