Sinopsis

In "The Earl of Beaconsfield," James Anthony Froude presents a compelling biographical account of Benjamin Disraeli, the 19th-century British Prime Minister, who was both a literary figure and a political titan. Froude's literary style is characterized by his articulate prose and keen psychological insight, allowing readers to navigate the complex interplay of personal ambition and public service that defined Disraeli's life. The narrative is steeped in the political context of Victorian England, illuminating how Disraeli's Jewish heritage and literary prowess informed his rise in a predominantly aristocratic society, culminating in his unique position as a leader who was both adored and reviled. Froude, an influential historian and biographer, drew on his substantial research and personal interest in Victorian politics to write this work. Having been a contemporary and admirer of Disraeli, Froude was ideally positioned to explore the nuances of Disraeli'Äôs political strategies and ideological legacy. His background as both a historian and novelist enriches the narrative, providing depth to the political discourse of the era. "The Earl of Beaconsfield" is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricate dynamics of British politics, literary biographies, and the influential figures of the 19th century. Froude'Äôs insightful reflections offer readers a unique lens through which to understand Disraeli's enduring impact on the British political landscape and Victorian literature.

    Tap Dancing on Everest - A Young...

    The plan was outrageous: A small expedition of four climbers would attempt a new route on the East Face of Mt. Everest, considered the most remote and dangerous side of the mountain, summitted only once before. They would climb without using supplemental oxygen, porter support, or chance for rescue. Mimi Zieman would accompany the climbers as the doctor—and only woman—although she was still in her third year of medical school. 
     
     
      
    Full of self-doubt, Zieman grappled with whether to go but couldn't resist the call of the wilderness and mountains. On Everest, when three climbers disappeared during their summit attempt, she reached the knife edge of her limits and dug deeply to fight for the climbers' lives and to find her voice. 
     
     
      
    Sparkling with suspense and vulnerability, Tap Dancing on Everest is a true survival story about the risks we take to become our most authentic selves. In this inspiring coming-of-age travel memoir that includes solo hiking through Nepal, Zieman weaves her childhood as the daughter of Jewish immigrants raised in 1970's New York City, her father a Holocaust survivor, with adventure, medicine, and empowerment. She captures the curiosity and awe of a young woman as she faces down messages to stay small and safe and ventures into the unknown.

    Dorthe Nors's first nonfiction book chronicles a year she spent traveling along the North Sea coast—from Skagen at the northern tip of Denmark to the Frisian Islands in the Wadden Sea. In fourteen expansive essays, Nors traces the history, geography, and culture of the places she visits while reflecting on her childhood and her family and ancestors' ties to the region as well as her decision to move there from Copenhagen. She writes about the ritual burning of witch effigies on Midsummer's Eve; the environmental activist who opposed a chemical factory in the 1950s; the quiet fishing villages that surfers transformed into an area known as Cold Hawaii starting in the 1970s. She connects wind turbines to Viking ships, thirteenth-century church frescoes to her mother's unrealized dreams. She describes strong waves, sand drifts, storm surges, shipwrecks, and other instances of nature asserting its power over human attempts to ignore or control it. 
     
     
     
    Through a deep, personal engagement with this singular landscape, A Line in the World accesses the universal. Its ultimate subjects are civilization, belonging, and change: changes within one person's life, changes occurring in various communities today, and change as the only constant of life on Earth.
