The Crowd

Gustave Le Bon

Sinopse

Published in 1895, it anticipated the instrumental use of crowds and the era of great dictatorships with extraordinary foresight. It influenced Freud, Theodore Roosevelt, Mussolini and De Gaulle. It paved the way for the emergence of a new discipline, social psychology, becoming a fundamental text in the sociology of communication. Crowds are a destructive force, lacking an overall vision, undisciplined. This makes them easily orientable and impressionable. The prestige and charisma of the leader, thanks to the repetitive use of a few simple slogans, not argued, is able to access their primitive collective unconscious and therefore to maneuver them. In the collective soul, the intellectual attitudes of men, and consequently their individuality, are annulled.

Carl Frampton

Carl Frampton, Paul D. Gibson

Belfast’s Carl ‘The Jackal’ Frampton MBE is no ordinary boxer. One of only three fighters from the British Isles to be named the Ring magazine Fighter of the Year, he has headlined sellout world championship bouts on both sides of the Atlantic, winning multiple world titles in the process. His dedicated army of fans have traversed the globe to be ringside throughout it all.  
But Frampton’s popularity far exceeds the traditional adulation for a sporting icon; he is regarded as a symbol of hope and unity by both sides of the sectarian divide in Northern Ireland.  
In this captivating autobiography, Frampton reveals the most personal aspects of being a fighter: the fears and doubts, the exhilaration and devastation, the friendships and animosities. He also recounts for the first time his high-profile, acrimonious split with Barry McGuigan in devastating and revealing detail. Frampton speaks openly and passionately, not only about boxing, but about his country, how far it has come and the problems it faces. This is a uniquely intimate account of a true modern-day sporting great and a local hero like no other.
