Sinopse

In "The Abandoned Farmers," Irvin S. Cobb explores the plight of rural America in the early 20th century, depicting a poignant portrait of farmers grappling with economic hardship and social upheaval. Cobb's narrative employs a vivid, evocative style that captures the essence of agrarian life, utilizing regional dialect and rich imagery to convey both the beauty and despair of the countryside. The book emerges during a critical period in American literature when writers were increasingly drawn to themes of social realism, providing a context for understanding the complexities of rural existence against the backdrop of industrialization. Irvin S. Cobb, renowned for his wit and narrative skill, was born in Kentucky and spent much of his life observing the socio-economic shifts of his time. His background and experiences, growing up in a rural setting, deeply informed his understanding of agrarian challenges. Cobb's insightful commentary on contemporary issues, coupled with his journalistic instincts, positioned him as a prominent voice in American literature who could connect with both the struggles and resilience of the farming community. I highly recommend "The Abandoned Farmers" to readers interested in American history, social justice, and regional literature. Cobb's blend of narrative depth and acute observation offers a compelling read that not only enlightens but also evokes empathy for a segment of society often overlooked in mainstream discourse.

    When Jennifer McGaha's grandmother was in her late eighties, Jennifer asked her what her favorite age so far had been. "Fifty-five," her grandmother answered, as though there were something magical about this stage of life. So, in her own fifty-fifth year, Jennifer began to take note. She jotted down her impressions of simple, everyday things that struck her as beautiful or humorous or intriguing and kept a list of all the accomplishments, large and small, that actually mattered to her. 
     
     
     
    These observations became Jennifer's Joy Document, a radical act of reclaiming joy and an exercise in paying attention. When you are determined to find joy, almost anything can become revelatory—an Earth Day Whole Foods errand, Claire Saffitz's fruitcake recipe, a harrowing ride in Twinkly Taxi, an evening picnic at Dvorák's Symphony No. 8, or cartwheels in the driveway. While many of us at midlife have found all the things we've strived for (the career, the better life, the organization tools), those things only go so far. And the search for something greater, something truer, begins. Life after fifty becomes not the end or even the middle of life, but a new beginning, another grand adventure with endless opportunities to find joy. The Joy Document includes fifty rollicking and often humorous essays exploring the art of joy and inspiring the rest of us to do the same.

    Nefertiti, one of ancient Egypt’s most captivating and influential queens, remains a figure shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Her name, meaning “the beautiful one has come,” hints at her exotic origins, though little is known for certain about her early life. Some historians believe she was a member of the Egyptian nobility, possibly the daughter of Ay, a prominent official. Others suggest foreign origins, potentially linking her to Mitanni royalty. Regardless of her birthplace, Nefertiti’s remarkable journey from obscurity to queenhood is a testament to her enduring legacy. 
    Nefertiti’s life took a dramatic turn when she married Amenhotep IV, later known as Akhenaten. Their union marked the beginning of one of ancient Egypt’s most transformative periods. As Akhenaten’s Great Royal Wife, Nefertiti played a central role in the royal family, often depicted alongside her husband in scenes of worship and domestic life. Their partnership appeared to be one of both love and power, as Nefertiti is shown participating actively in religious ceremonies and royal duties, signifying her status as more than just a consort. 
    Upon ascending to the throne, Akhenaten and Nefertiti initiated radical religious changes, abandoning traditional polytheism in favor of the monotheistic worship of Aten, the sun disk. This religious revolution, known as the Amarna Period, saw the couple establish a new capital, Akhetaten, modern-day Amarna. Nefertiti’s involvement in this spiritual shift was profound, as she was frequently depicted alongside Akhenaten, worshiping Aten with equal devotion. She became a symbol of the new religious order, embodying divine femininity and royal authority.

    Fundraising events are designed to generate financial support by offering something in return to donors. Donors contribute not just out of goodwill but with the expectation of receiving a benefit or service in exchange. The nature of this exchange depends on the type of fundraising event organized. 
    For instance, a classic example is the car wash fundraiser, where donors pay for their cars to be cleaned as part of the event. Other popular types of fundraising include benefit dinners, performances, bake sales, auctions, and sporting events. Each of these events provides something of value in return for the contributions received. A contemporary example of this is the televised fundraiser, where celebrities encourage viewers to pledge donations, which are then deposited into designated accounts.

    The most important war of all for Texas came in the early 19th century, and the common story heard in America is about rebellion against intolerance, oppression and Mexican cruelty. The Battle of the Alamo in particular, surrounded by legend and testimonies of heroism, is a textbook example of the fight for freedom, comparable to the Jewish defenders during the Roman siege at Masada. The words "martyrs" and "Mexican tyranny" are almost always present in the recounts, and “Remember the Alamo!” is both a slogan of self-glorification and martyrdom that remains one of the most famous phrases in America. 	Texas formally asked to be annexed by the United States in 1845. This annexation angered the Mexican government, which still considered Texas to be part of its territory. Mexico had previously warned that the annexation of Texas would cause Mexico to declare war on the United States.  
    	When a Mexican patrol attacked American cavalry in the disputed area north of the Rio Grande, President Polk went to Congress for a declaration of war. The declaration passed on May 13, 1846. The war against Mexico was unpopular with the opposition Whig party, especially in the North. Opponents of the war denounced it as a war of aggression, and denied that there had been a valid reason for war.	Small American military units were quickly able to occupy key points in California, including San Francisco and Los Angeles. Although California was sparsely populated, some Mexican inhabitants formed an effective resistance which was eventually put down in 1847 by American reinforcements. Subsequently, a larger American army was sent to invade central Mexico, and managed to capture the Mexican capital, Mexico City, on September 13, 1847. News of the capital falling caused it to retreat to try to retake the capital. After the defeat of the last Mexican army, major hostilities ended.
