Beschreibung

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer, poet, literary critic and essayist, recognized as one of the greatest writers of horror literature together with Edgar Allan Poe and considered by many to be one of the precursors of Anglo-American science fiction. His works, a contamination between horror, soft science fiction, dark fantasy and low fantasy, have often been described, even by himself, with the term weird fiction (where weird stands for "strange"), being recognized among the main origins of the modern literary genre of the new weird.Published in November 1918 in The United Amateur, official organ of the United Amateur Press Association, the brief essay The Literature of Rome offers a compelling glimpse into the scholarly mind of a young Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Long before he became the master of "cosmic horror", Lovecraft was a devoted neoclassicist, and this text serves as a concise, passionate chronological survey of Latin letters, from their rough beginnings to their golden age.In this essay, Lovecraft argues that the Roman literary tradition is not merely a shadow of the Greek one, but a vital pillar of Western civilization. He traces the evolution of the Roman voice, emphasizing how the language transitioned from the "rude and unpolished" verses of the early Republic to the sublime sophistication of the Augustan Age.

    Kindheartedness is the quality of being compassionate, gentle, and considerate toward others, often displayed through acts of generosity and understanding. At its core, it involves recognizing the humanity in others and approaching the world with an open heart. When we choose to live with a kind heart, we invite warmth, connection, and healing into our lives. But understanding true kindheartedness goes beyond simply being nice or polite. It requires a deep sense of empathy and the ability to relate to the experiences, struggles, and joys of those around us. 
    The essence of kindness lies in how we treat others, especially when they least expect it or when they are vulnerable. It’s about offering a listening ear, a helping hand, or even a simple smile. However, kindness isn’t always easy, especially when we face personal challenges or interact with people who may not always treat us kindly. It’s in these moments that the true strength of kindheartedness is revealed. The choice to act with compassion, even in the face of adversity, is what sets kindness apart from mere politeness or conformity. 
    Kindheartedness also involves understanding that people’s actions are often shaped by their own experiences, fears, and pain. It’s about looking beyond the surface and seeing the deeper reasons behind people’s behavior. This doesn’t mean excusing harmful actions, but it does encourage us to respond with a sense of understanding and patience rather than judgment. When we approach others with an open heart, we create space for healing and growth—for both them and ourselves.

    Over the past two decades, postcommunist countries have witnessed a sudden shift in the electoral fortunes of their political parties: previously successful center-left parties suffered dramatic electoral defeats and disappeared from the political scene, while right-wing populist parties soared in popularity and came to power. This dynamic echoed similar processes in Western Europe and raises a question: Were these dynamics in any way connected? When Right Moves Left argues that they were. And that the root of the connection between them lies in the pro-market rebranding of the ex-communist left—the key explanatory variable. This book asserts that, though the left's pro-market shift initially led to electoral rewards, it had a less straightforward impact on left-wing parties' electoral fortunes in the long run. 
     
     
     
    The book draws upon different levels of analysis: cross-country observational data, case studies, and individual-level experimental surveys. It argues that scholars should incorporate the economic policy dimension when explaining the demise of the left and the rise of the populist right in the region. It also examines important parallels between the dynamics of Western and postcommunist countries by arguing that the idiosyncrasy of Eastern European politics has been overstated in scholarly literature.

    The idea for "Black Africa: An Illustrated History" was born out of a passion for telling the stories that have often been overlooked or misunderstood. We believe that history is more than just a series of events; it is the collective memory of humanity conceived from the experiences, struggles, and triumphs of countless individuals and communities. In creating this book, we have drawn from various sources, including archaeological findings, oral traditions, and historical documents. Our goal is to present a balanced and nuanced view of African history that acknowledges both the achievements and challenges faced by African peoples throughout the centuries. We are deeply grateful to the many scholars, researchers, and storytellers whose work has contributed to this book. Their dedication to preserving and sharing Africa's history has been an invaluable resource, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to every one of them.
