Sinopse

In "The Victorian Age in Literature," G. K. Chesterton offers a sweeping and incisive examination of the literary landscape of the Victorian era, exploring the interplay between society, politics, and art. Through a series of essays, Chesterton illuminates the contributions of key figures such as George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and the Brontë sisters, while deftly contrasting their distinct styles and ideologies. With a wit that is at once playful and piercing, Chesterton situates Victorian literature within the broader cultural trends of the time, revealing how it both shaped and reflected the complexities of an age undergoing rapid change and industrialization. As a prominent writer and literary critic, Chesterton's own experiences and philosophical inclinations profoundly influenced his perspective. His background in theology and deep appreciation for fiction provided him with a unique lens through which to assess the moral and spiritual dimensions of Victorian literature. A vocal advocate for the value of imagination and creativity, Chesterton critiques the era's materialism while championing the enduring power of storytelling. For readers seeking a deeper understanding of the Victorian literary canon, Chesterton's work is an essential companion. His vibrant prose invites both scholars and general readers alike to re-engage with classics and discover the resonances of the past in contemporary times, making this book not just a scholarly text but a celebratory homage to an influential literary age.

    How to Make People Do What You Want 
    Do you want to learn how to appeal to people, be happier, healthier, and freer? How to Make People Do What You Want will get you started on that wonderful path. Modern life distracts us from what's really important, causing us to forget who we really are. None of us were born with fears, depression, or nervousness, no, something in our lives along the line pushes us into a downward spiral, careening into problems left and right. 
    The solutions to these problems may be staring us straight in the face, but unless we try, we'll never figure it out and reach our full potential. For some, dealing with people can be very stressful, but it doesn't have to be! The hangups and baggage that weigh us down need to be set aside, we need to become free. 
    Many kind, caring, and intelligent people repel potential friends, employers, and even future spouses because they're not socially perceptive, they don't understand how to attract friends, and they don't understand what impression their words, actions, and behaviors may give to others. 
    This skill is vital to learn because not one of us is an island, we can try to live by ourselves, but we make life so much more rich, easy, joyous, simple, and relaxed when we work together with friends to reach a common goal. Life doesn't have to be so difficult, the repetitive, boring, stressful, and unpleasant life you probably live is not a necessity—it's up to you, it's your choice. Choose wisely. Doing and learning new things will inherently require us to make changes, big changes, and this will feel uncomfortable.

    Full of amusement, this series of fictional tales starts with a Galwayman’s arrival in Tipperary’s post-famine days and portrays the daily lives of a hillside community.  
    Written in the colloquial and lyrical language of some of our ancestors, it tells – amongst others – such diverse stories as the reliance of families on children rabbit-poaching, on the pre-dawn cattle-droving days of a young school-leaver, the re-appearance of a dead girl to her newly-born sister… along with a number of love-hate incidents, like the townie scorn for a mountainy man at the show-fair, before he walks off with the big trophy!
