Sinopse

In 'The Human Comedy: Introductions and Appendix,' Honoré de Balzac presents an intricate tapestry of 19th-century French society, exploring the multifaceted human experience through a series of interconnected stories. Balzac's literary style is characterized by rich, detailed descriptions and keen psychological insights, allowing readers to forge intimate connections with a diverse cast of characters. This work serves as a cornerstone of realism, synthesizing complex social dynamics and moral questions, revealing the relentless forces of ambition, love, and existential despair that define the human condition. Honoré de Balzac, writing during a time of significant social upheaval in France, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the tumultuous periods of the Restoration and the July Monarchy. His keen observations of society stemmed from his own struggles as an author, which endowed him with a profound understanding of both the upper echelons and marginalized classes of his era. These influences are palpable in 'The Human Comedy,' where his narrative ambition reflects a desire to capture the sprawling depth of human life in a rapidly changing world. This monumental work is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of human nature and societal structures. Balzac's acute observations and compelling storytelling not only entertain but stimulate a thoughtful dialogue about the human experience, making it an invaluable addition to the library of any discerning reader.

    Son of Birmingham - A Memoir

    Today's Birmingham—led by Mayor Randall Woodfin—is a phoenix rising from the ashes of systemic racism and white flight. This first Southern city to pluck the feathers off Jim Crow, where peaceful protesters endured attacks by police dogs, where high-pressure water hoses tore at the flesh of men and women marching for their rights, and where children locked arms and sang "We Shall Overcome," is a living, breathing redemption story. 
     
     
     
    In Son of Birmingham, Woodfin draws upon the street wisdom of his generation's Southern rap music; the power of family, friends, and faith; and his education at the historically Black Morehouse College to preach the progress every corner of our nation clamors for right now. He walks listeners through the streets of his Birmingham, bringing to light the daily joys and struggles of everyday people and revealing what spurred him to turn his education and Capitol Hill experience to the city of his youth. 
     
     
     
    A moving memoir of a young leader's perseverance in a city still battling racism and gun violence, which Woodfin experienced first-hand, Son of Birmingham is also a call-to-action across America—an appeal to Woodfin's unique brand of servant leadership and responsive government for equitable, inclusive, and prosperous cities where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

The book offers valuable insight into the history of government agencies spying on Black activists, and targeting Malcolm was just among the most notable of those in the CIA's crosshairs. Plummeting the depths of secrecy and intrigue of the CIA and Black radicals, Boyd and Rojas provide a promising blueprint and when, if ever, the agencies decide to declassify more documents on Malcolm, their work will be pivotal in the further pursuit of this ignominious truth.
