Summary

In "The House," Henry Bordeaux crafts a poignant exploration of familial relationships, memory, and the passage of time, all set against the backdrop of a physical structure that serves as both a setting and a symbol. The narrative weaves a lyrical prose style with rich descriptive imagery, depicting the characters' emotional landscapes intertwined with the house's history. Bouncing between past and present, Bordeaux skillfully delves into themes of nostalgia and loss, revealing how the characters' identities are intrinsically linked to the walls that cradle their most profound moments. Henry Bordeaux, a prominent French writer and playwright of the early 20th century, draws upon his own experiences of displacement and belonging to create this narrative. His keen insights into human emotions, likely shaped by the tumultuous events of his time, provide depth to his characters. Bordeaux's literary career encompasses a broad spectrum of themes, particularly focusing on the interplay of history and collective memory, making "The House" a significant reflection of his philosophical inquiries into existence and heritage. Readers are encouraged to engage with "The House" not merely as a story about a physical location but as a profound commentary on the connections we forge and the spaces that define us. Bordeaux's evocative prose will resonate with anyone reflecting on their own past, ultimately inviting a meditation on what it means to call a place home.

    The California Days of Ralph...

    In the spring of 1871, Ralph Waldo Emerson boarded a train in Concord, Massachusetts, bound for a month-and-a-half-long tour of California—an interlude that became one of the highlights of his life. On their journey across the American West, he and his companions would take in breathtaking vistas in the Rockies and along the Pacific Coast, speak with a young John Muir in the Yosemite Valley, stop off in Salt Lake City for a meeting with Brigham Young, and encounter a diversity of communities and cultures that would challenge their Yankee prejudices. 
     
     
     
    Based on original research employing newly discovered documents, The California Days of Ralph Waldo Emerson maps the public story of this group's travels onto the private story of Emerson's final years, as aphasia set in and increasingly robbed him of his words. Engaging and compelling, this travelogue makes it clear that Emerson was still capable of wonder, surprise, and friendship, debunking the presumed darkness of his last decade.

    One of our most beloved comedians, the brilliantly witty and outspoken star of The View, hits the most unpopular President ever elected where it hurts—and makes us laugh and cheer—in this hilarious alphabetical guide to everything that’s wrong with the ""Orange One,"" Donald Trump. 
    Put down the knife, lock away the gun, lay aside the noose, Joy Behar is here to save you from suicide as she hot walks you through the next four years (two if we are lucky, less if liberal dreams come true). Besides despair, the sane response to the insanity in the White House is laughter. On her hit ABC daytime show The View, Joy has been blunt in her condemnation of the comb over-in-chief, and her words have electrified and inspired millions in the resistance for whom #notmypresident has become a rallying cry. 
    The Great Gasbag is Joy’s answer to the hell that is the Trump Orange House. Structured as an A-Z guide (G is for Gold . . . en shower; P is for Pence and pussy-grabbing; T is for Tweets; Twits, and Twats, etc.), Joy, joined by New York Times bestselling humor author Larry Amoros, offers much-needed doses of levity and humor for everyone determined to #resist. With a major network television profile and a social media audience in the millions, this fearlessly confident star has a powerful platform to entertain Americans of all stripes—from Never Trumpers to fired-up progressives—as she takes on the worst president since . . . well, since ever.
