Synopsis

Henry Cabot Lodge's "The Best of the World's Classics (Vol. 1-10)" is an expansive anthology that curates a treasure trove of literary masterpieces from a diverse array of cultures and epochs. Through meticulous selection, Lodge showcases works that embody the essence of the human experience, spanning genres from poetry to prose. This anthology is notable for its accessible literary style, providing readers with both an introduction to classic literature and a deep dive into the historical contexts surrounding each piece. Inviting intertextuality, Lodge's commentary weaves a tapestry of insights that enrich the reading experience, making the anthology a pivotal contribution to the canon of classical literature collections. Henry Cabot Lodge, an American historian, politician, and influential figure of the early 20th century, was deeply immersed in the scholarly pursuits of his time. His experiences in politics and diplomacy, particularly in relation to international relations and cultural exchanges, influenced his belief in the importance of understanding global literary heritage. This anthology reflects Lodge's engagement with the world and his aspiration to foster an appreciation for the classics that shaped Western thought. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Best of the World's Classics" to anyone seeking to enrich their literary horizons. This anthology is not merely a collection; it is a journey through time and culture. With Lodge's expert curation, readers can experience the profundity of classic literature while gaining an appreciation for the diverse voices that have shaped our collective consciousness.

    From humble beginnings in the rural South to becoming a Morehead-Cain scholar at UNC-Chapel Hill, Antonio McBroom was always determined to achieve his C.E.O. dream of Creating Extra • Ordinary life. The only thing he didn’t expect was that a minimum wage ice cream scooping job would lead him there. 
    Presented with a chance to franchise his own Ben & Jerry’s, McBroom “scooped his way” to the top before co-founding his company, Primo Partners, in 2008. Within 15 years, he grew a single scoop shop from $200K per year to a vast enterprise that drives over $20 million annually. Primo now runs 25+ businesses with McBroom at the helm, including Starbucks cafés, coaching services and real estate development. 
    Through his multi-unit, multi-brand and multi-state empire, McBroom Created the Extra • Ordinary life he dreamed of, transforming his family and community in the process. In The Self•ish Servant, a hybrid memoir and business guide, McBroom shares the story behind his aspirational ascent. 
    Based on his own seven principles—Tenacity, Self-Awareness, Passion, Focus, Communi-Keys, Boss Time and Gratitude—The Self•ish Servant teaches other entrepreneurs and leaders-of-tomorrow to organize their impact through revolutionary service. 
    At its heart is McBroom’s counterintuitive secret to success: being “self•ish” is what helps us serve others even better. 
    With lessons on franchising, retail, real estate development, public speaking, servant leadership and everything in between, The Self•ish Servant establishes McBroom as a visionary new voice in business—and a one-stop-shop for all things needed to create an extraordinary life.

    Amidst the turmoil of the Secret War in Laos, Toua, a young Hmong boy of just ten years finds himself torn from the embrace of his family, catapulted into a world far beyond the innocence of childhood. This memoir unfolds the harrowing and inspirational journey of resilience and survival against the backdrop of a conflict that most weren’t aware of, where the Hmong people stood alongside Americans in the shadows of the Vietnam War. 
    Hidden within the unforgiving jungle's embrace, the boy finds solace and an unexpected sense of belonging among the Hmong Freedom Fighters. Together, they navigate the perilous terrain of warfare, where each day brings with it the heavy burden of survival and the haunting question of morality in the face of relentless danger. Despite the camaraderie and purpose he finds, the boy is plagued by an unyielding yearning for his family and a sense of displacement, his soul marred by the trials of war and the difficult tasks demanded of him. 
    At his lowest, contemplating the escape of death over the pain of existence, a glimmer of unwavering hope and the dream of family reunion guides him through the darkness. The North Star, known as the Bright Star to the Hmong, a beacon amidst the chaos, becomes his guide, steering him through his treacherous journey towards refuge, and ultimately, to the shores of America. 
    This memoir is more than a tale of survival; it's a testament to the indomitable spirit of a young boy thrust into the maelstrom of war. It's a story of the unbreakable bonds of family, the transformative power of hope, and the relentless resilience of the human spirit. Through the eyes of a child, we witness the cost of freedom, the price of survival, and the enduring strength of the human heart.
