Sinopse

In "Felix Holt, the Radical," George Eliot intricately weaves a narrative that explores the social and political milieu of 1830s England, a time of tumultuous reform and rising radicalism. The novel delves into themes of idealism and the moral complexities of political engagement, presenting a rich tapestry of characters whose lives reflect the era's struggles for social justice. Eliot employs her characteristic psychological depth and keen observational style, illuminating the intersections between personal choice and societal obligation. Her nuanced portrayal of both the radical and conservative viewpoints creates a literary dialogue that resonates with the ongoing discourse surrounding citizenship and activism. George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, was an influential Victorian novelist known for her deep moral deliberations and innovative narrative techniques. A pioneer in addressing social issues through fiction, Eliot's own experiences with gender and class inform her exploration of radical politics in this novel. Her passionate advocacy for women's rights and social reform reveals the complexities of her characters' motivations and illuminates the very real struggles faced by those daring to challenge the status quo. "Felix Holt, the Radical" is not only a compelling story but also a crucial commentary on the inheritance of democracy and social responsibility. Readers interested in the intersections of literature, politics, and ethics will find Eliot's work enlightening and thought-provoking, making it an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the roots of modern political thought.

    Every author has some peculiarity in his descriptions or in his style of writing. Those who do not like him, magnify it, shrug up their shoulders, and exclaim--there he is again! I, for my part, know very well how I can bring about this movement and this exclamation. It would happen immediately if I were to begin here, as I intended to do, with: "Rome has its Corso, Naples its Toledo" - "Ah! that Andersen; there he is again!" they would cry; yet I must, to please my fancy, continue quite quietly, and add: "But Copenhagen has its East Street."

    The Science of Getting Rich is the classic guide to creating wealth through the Law of Attraction. First published in 1910, a hundred years later it inspired Rhonda Byrne's bestselling book and movie, The Secret. According to Wallace D. Wattles, "There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches; once these laws are learned and obeyed by any man, he will get rich with mathematical certainty."

    "The quintessential Jack London is in the on-rushing compulsive-ness of his northern stories," noted James Dickey. "Few men have more convincingly examined the connection between the creative powers of the individual writer and the unconscious drive to breed and to survive, found in the natural world. . . London is in and committed to his creations to a degree very nearly unparalleled in the composition of fiction."
