Beschreibung

In "How Private George W. Peck Put Down the Rebellion or, The Funny Experiences of a Raw Recruit," Peck offers a captivating blend of humor and military narrative, reflecting on his experiences as an inexperienced recruit during the American Civil War. This semi-autobiographical work is characterized by its lively prose and comical anecdotes, providing both entertainment and insight into the absurdities of war. It serves as a unique literary artifact that captures the zeitgeist of the post-war period, employing satire to offset the grim realities faced by soldiers, demonstrating how comedy can emerge even in the bleakest circumstances. George W. Peck, a journalist and humorist, utilized his personal experiences to craft this engaging narrative, drawing from his service in the Wisconsin Volunteers. His career in the press and affinity for humor influenced his storytelling technique, allowing him to inject levity into a subject often steeped in sorrow. Peck's background in theater and journalism also enriched his narrative style, facilitating a presentation that resonates with both soldiers' camaraderie and the chaos of battle. Readers looking for a light-hearted yet poignant examination of military life during the Civil War will find Peck's work to be both enlightening and entertaining. This book is highly recommended for those interested in military history, humor literature, and personal narratives that reveal deeper truths through laughter, offering a fresh perspective on war's experience.

Secret Bloodlines

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
We watch the news. We see war, disease, poverty, man against man. We see billions of poor people, displaced by the power brokers. We see the super rich getting richer. Many simply see the news, they don't understand or even try to. They don't know the bigger picture, the truth about what is really happening out there. 
 
The truth is, what happens out there, affects us all. And all of those world events are happening, not by chance, but by design. All of our lives are being affected by just a few men. Those men are members of an elite group. Their ancestors plotted and schemed just as they do today. Their goals are short and long term. 
 
They affect all levels of society. Lawmakers and enforcers, religious and political leaders, movie makers and media moguls, industrial giants and pharmaceutical murderers. 
 
All around the world they work. Plotting and scheming, scheming and plotting. Nobody dares to speak out against them. Most don't even know. Through clever manipulation, marketing, propaganda and force, they control the world. These are not the people you're thinking of. These are not always the politicians who are often pawns themselves. 
 
These people are members of a long line, a golden thread through history that stretches back thousands of years and can be traced through their own bloodline.

The Environmental Unconscious -...

Steven Swarbrick

Why has psychoanalysis long been kept at the margins of environmental criticism despite the theories of eco-Marxism, queer ecology, and eco-deconstruction available today? What is unique, possibly even traumatic, about eco-psychoanalysis? The Environmental Unconscious addresses these questions as it provides an innovative and theoretical account of environmental loss focused on the counterintuitive forms of enjoyment that early modern poetry and psychoanalysis jointly theorize. 
 
 
 
Steven Swarbrick urges literary critics and environmental scholars to rethink notions of entanglement, animacy, and consciousness raising. Through close readings of Edmund Spenser, Walter Ralegh, Andrew Marvell, and John Milton, he reveals a world of matter that is not merely hyperconnected, as in the new materialism, but porous and off-kilter. And yet the loss these poets reveal is central to the enjoyment their works offer—and that nature offers. 
 
 
 
The Environmental Unconscious offers a provocative challenge to ecocriticism that a new theory of disconnection is desperately needed. Tracing the propulsive force of the environmental unconscious from the early modern period to Freudian and post-Freudian theories of desire, Swarbrick not only puts nature on the couch in this book but also renews the psychoanalytic toolkit in light of environmental collapse.

Too Good to Be Altogether Lost -...

Pamela Smith Hill

Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the well-known Little House series, wrote stories from her childhood because they were "too good to be altogether lost." With the release of NBC's Little House on the Prairie series in 1974, Wilder was well on her way to becoming an international literary superstar. Simultaneously, however, the novels themselves began to slip from view, replaced by an onslaught of assumptions and questions about Wilder's values and politics and even about the books' authenticity. From the 1980s, a slow but steady critical crescendo began to erode Wilder's literary reputation. 
 
 
 
In Too Good to Be Altogether Lost, Wilder expert Pamela Smith Hill dives back into the Little House books, closely examining Wilder's text, her characters, and their stories. Hill reveals that these gritty, emotionally complex novels depict a realistic coming of age for a girl in the American West. This realism in Wilder's novels, once perceived as a fatal flaw, can lead to essential discussions not only about the past but about the present—and the underlying racism young people encounter when reading today. Hill's fresh approach to Wilder's books shows how this author forever changed the literary landscape of children's and young adult literature in ways that remain vital and relevant today.
