Synopsis

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.

    Loyalty - The Faithful Allegiance

    Loyalty is a concept that resonates deeply with human nature, transcending time, culture, and geography. It is often regarded as one of the highest virtues, forming the foundation of relationships, societies, and organizations. At its core, loyalty is an unwavering allegiance to a person, cause, or institution, and it involves a commitment that goes beyond mere obligation. It is about dedication, trust, and an emotional bond that fosters a sense of responsibility and attachment. 
    Defining loyalty can be complex because it manifests in various forms and is subject to different interpretations depending on the context. In personal relationships, loyalty can mean remaining faithful to a partner, supporting friends through tough times, or staying committed to family. In a broader societal context, it can refer to allegiance to a nation, loyalty to a set of values, or even devotion to an idea or belief system. Despite these differences, the essence of loyalty remains consistent: it is the willingness to stand by someone or something, even in difficult or challenging times. 
    One important aspect of loyalty is trust. Without trust, loyalty cannot truly exist. Trust is the foundation upon which loyalty is built, and it is what keeps the bond strong over time. Loyalty requires faith that the person or cause to which one is loyal will not betray that trust. This mutual trust creates a sense of security and dependability, making loyalty a powerful force that binds individuals together.

    Violence and the Sacred is René Girard's landmark study of human evil. Here Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature, and myth. Girard's forceful and thought-provoking analyses of Biblical narrative, Greek tragedy, and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred.

    Dogopolis - How Dogs and Humans...

    Dogopolis presents a surprising source for urban innovation in the history of three major cities: human-canine relationships. 
      
    Stroll through any American or European city today and you probably won’t get far before seeing a dog being taken for a walk. It’s expected that these domesticated animals can easily navigate sidewalks, streets, and other foundational elements of our built environment. But what if our cities were actually shaped in response to dogs more than we ever realized? 
     
    Chris Pearson’s Dogopolis boldly and convincingly asserts that human-canine relations were a crucial factor in the formation of modern urban living. Focusing on New York, London, and Paris from the early nineteenth century into the 1930s, Pearson shows that human reactions to dogs significantly remolded them and other contemporary western cities. It’s an unalterable fact that dogs—often filthy, bellicose, and sometimes off-putting—run away, spread rabies, defecate, and breed wherever they like, so as dogs became a more and more common in nineteenth-century middle-class life, cities had to respond to people’s fear of them and revulsion at their least desirable traits. The gradual integration of dogs into city life centered on disgust at dirt, fear of crime and vagrancy, and the promotion of humanitarian sentiments. On the other hand, dogs are some people’s most beloved animal companions, and human compassion and affection for pets and strays were equally powerful forces in shaping urban modernity. Dogopolis details the complex interrelations among emotions, sentiment, and the ways we manifest our feelings toward what we love—showing that together they can actually reshape society.
