Synopsis

In "Walden, Walking & Civil Disobedience," Henry David Thoreau artfully weaves together philosophical musings and practical observations derived from his transformative experience living in a cabin near Walden Pond. The book, structured in a reflective style, captures Thoreau's journey of self-sufficiency and his profound insights on nature, society, and the individual's relationship with government. Through lyrical prose, Thoreau explores themes of simplicity, solitude, and civil resistance, elevating personal experience into a broader dialogue about social justice and moral integrity in an increasingly industrialized world. Thoreau, a key figure in the Transcendentalist movement, was deeply influenced by the natural beauty of his surroundings as well as the socio-political currents of 19th-century America. His time at Walden was both an experiment in minimalist living and a response to rampant materialism. Thoreau's passionate stance against slavery and his advocacy for nonviolent resistance stem from his belief in personal conscience, which forms a cornerstone of his philosophy. This classic work is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the interplay between nature, self-reliance, and morality. "Walden, Walking & Civil Disobedience" invites readers to contemplate their own lives in relation to the larger societal framework, challenging them to consider the ethical implications of their actions.

    Discover a sparkling region in Southern Italy which offers the most tantalizing food, through 75 authentic recipes, cooked with care and attention using the best ingredients.
    
    Italian food reflects culture. In Italy cooking is the product of geography, history, and religion. 'Italian cooking' is really a patchwork of local and regional cuisines, all fiercely claiming to be the best in the country. Ursula Ferrigno's own family come from the south of Italy, and just south of Naples is the Amalfi Coast. It is widely considered to be one of Italy's most magical locations: breath-taking (literally) winding cliff-top roads, pastel-coloured houses tumbling down towards the sea, flower-framed terraces and trees heavy with the world's most coveted lemons at every turn. Discover the delicious food the region has to offer. Vegetable dishes take centre stage and both meat and fish are eaten and often combined. In this seductive book you'll find 75 recipes to enjoy, from simple antipasti and ministre (soups) to pane (bread) and pizza, risotto, pollame and carne (fish and meat), and the all-important contorni (vegetable), alongside essays on the food culture and traditions of the area and beautiful scenic photography.

    Phantasmagoria, Lewis Carroll's longest poem, was first published by Macmillan and Co., London, in 1869. Written in seven cantos, it tells the tale, in quintains, of a gentleman called Tibbets and his experience conversing with a phantom. This amusing "epic" takes us through their initial fear of each other, a fierce debate over the goings-on of the supernatural world, and finally, to a touching mutual admiration.
