Beschreibung

Set sail for the South Seas in Jack London's tender and tragic island tales.

On the Makaloa Mat is a unique and deeply emotional collection of short stories set in Hawaii, revealing a different side of Jack London—introspective, lyrical, and human. Through a series of loosely connected vignettes, London captures the cultural richness, heartbreak, and resilience of native Hawaiians and Westerners during a time of change.

Written during the final years of his life, these stories depart from London's usual rugged adventures to explore love, betrayal, aging, memory, and dignity—woven into the natural beauty and spiritual rhythm of the islands.

🌴 This edition includes:

The complete, unabridged short story cycle

Lush illustrations evoking early 20th-century Hawaii

Kindle-optimized formatting for immersive reading

📚 A rare literary gem from a legendary author—perfect for lovers of short fiction and cultural storytelling.

Discover the human heart on the shores of Hawaii.

    The Sociology of Everyday Life -...

    Everyday life is often taken for granted, filled with routines and interactions that seem ordinary. However, sociology reveals that even the most mundane moments are shaped by broader social forces. From morning commutes to casual conversations, every action we take is influenced by cultural norms, social structures, and historical contexts. Understanding everyday life through sociology allows us to see how society operates at both individual and collective levels, uncovering patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. 
    Sociologists study everyday life to explore how individuals interact, how social norms are maintained, and how power dynamics influence our behaviors. The interactions we engage in, whether greeting a coworker or ordering coffee at a café, follow unspoken social rules. These rules, shaped by culture and history, guide our behaviors without us always being aware of them. For example, the way we dress, speak, and behave in public is dictated by societal expectations, which can vary across different cultures and historical periods. By analyzing these seemingly simple actions, sociology provides insight into how larger social structures function. 
    The concept of the “sociological imagination,” introduced by C. Wright Mills, is central to understanding everyday life. It encourages individuals to connect their personal experiences to larger societal issues. For instance, someone struggling with job insecurity may view their situation as a personal failure. However, from a sociological perspective, their experience can be linked to broader economic trends, shifts in labor markets, and corporate policies. This shift in perspective helps individuals understand that personal troubles are often rooted in social structures rather than isolated events.

    The Instant Top 5 Irish Times Bestseller 
    From the creator of The Irish History Podcast comes a fascinating look at Irish history through the lens of murder. 
    In A Lethal Legacy, Fin Dwyer charts 200 years of Irish history, opening up our past as never before, by observing the grand societal changes of our times through the intimate lens of eighteen murders and the lives and communities they altered forever. 
    From the creator of the critically acclaimed Irish History Podcast comes a ground-breaking exploration of the past, casting its gaze beyond the chambers of power and carnage of battle, and into the lives of the everyday people that lived through those violent centuries. From the desperate retributions of the Land War of the nineteenth century, through the unprecedented tumult of the revolutionary years, to the causes that helped to shape contemporary Ireland, these previously overlooked cases of human tragedy offer a fresh perspective on a history we think we know. 
    Astonishing, illuminating and compelling, A Lethal Legacy chronicles Ireland’s turbulent past through one of our most enduring fascinations – the act of killing – and in mapping the causes and aftermath of these cases, Dwyer offers us a fresh new understanding of the fires that forged modern Ireland. 
    In his latest book, Dwyer offers a riveting addition to the shelves of great historical books of 2023, extending its reach beyond Ireland to touch upon the wider European canvas, where the echoes of Ireland's struggles resonate with social and historical undercurrents in Britain and the rest of Europe. For readers looking to expand their understanding of Ireland's position within the greater European context in the last centuries, this book is an essential read. For fans of Colin Walsh (Kala), David Grann (Killers of the Flower Moon), Martin Doyle (Dirty Linen) and Ronan McGreevy (The Kidnapping) and Paul Lynch (Prophet Song). 
    Dwyer's new perspective on crime, a topic deeply embedded in Ireland's history, is both enlightening and captivating. His unique approach to storytelling, combined with meticulous research, makes A Lethal Legacy a must-read for anyone interested in crime history. 
    For fans of David Grann (The Wager), Ronan Mcgreevy (Great Hatred), Richard O'Rawe (Stakeknife's Dirty War), Máiría Cahill (Rough Beast), and Jennifer O'Leary (The Padre).
