Synopsis

In "The Collected Works of James Hogg," readers are invited to explore the rich tapestry of Hogg's literary creations, encompassing poetry, prose, and tales that reflect the intricate interplay of Scottish culture, folklore, and personal introspection. Hogg's distinctive narrative style, characterized by a vivid realism infused with a Romantic sensibility, immerses the audience in the psychological landscapes of his characters. This comprehensive compilation not only showcases Hogg's pioneering contributions to Scottish literature but also situates his work within the broader context of 19th-century Romanticism, addressing themes of identity, spirituality, and the natural world. James Hogg, often hailed as the 'Ettrick Shepherd,' drew upon his pastoral upbringing in the Scottish Borders to craft stories imbued with a deep sense of place and character. His experiences as a shepherd and his engagement with the oral traditions of Scotland profoundly influenced his writing, allowing him to create an authentic voice that resonated with both contemporary and future audiences. Hogg's unique perspective on the tensions between rural life and burgeoning industrialization provides a critical lens through which to understand his works. "The Collected Works of James Hogg" is an essential addition to any literary library, offering insights into the complexities of human experience through the eyes of one of Scotland's most innovative writers. Whether you are a scholar, a lover of literature, or a curious reader, Hogg's nuanced exploration of emotion, nature, and societal change will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.

A History of Ancient Rome in 100...

Philip Matyszak, Joanne Berry

One hundred vivid portraits of real-life characters bring to life the highs and lows of Rome's dramatic history. 
 
 
 
A vibrant portrait of a lost world, A History of Ancient Rome in 100 Lives reveals the mightiest civilization of antiquity through the eyes of one hundred of its citizens. The book gives a voice not just to Rome's most famous generals and rulers, such as Caesar and Caligula, but also to its builders, sculptors, poets, historians, gladiators, shepherds, enslaved people, and courtesans. The book begins with Faustulus, the foster father of Romulus and Remus, and closes with the final emperor, Romulus Augustulus. The stories of Roman women are given their due as well—from Servilia, Caesar's lover; to Agrippina, the murderous wife of Claudius; Amazonia, the sword-swinging gladiator; and Hypatia, philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician. Exploring every level of society and using the latest archaeological evidence as well as ancient texts, the authors build up a picture of what it meant to live in Ancient Rome.

American Impresario - William F...

Lawrence Perelman

Lawrence Perelman, an eighteen-year-old aspiring pianist and son of Soviet Jewish immigrants, wrote a letter to William F. Buckley, Jr., the conservative icon, in 1994. A remarkable cross-generational friendship was sparked by Buckley's response. During their friendship Perelman would go on to learn of the timeless elements of Buckley's character and the central role of classical music in Buckley's American vision. 
 
 
 
In 2025, the 100th anniversary of Buckley's birth, this book delves into some of Buckley's virtues which Perelman witnessed firsthand and argues that those virtues can transform the fabric of America's character. Their friendship spanned from 1995 to February 27, 2008, the day Buckley passed away in his Connecticut home while Perelman practiced piano in a nearby room for a private recital that evening for Buckley and friends that would never happen. 
 
 
 
American Impresario is a portrait of Buckley, the impresario of the conservative movement, man of faith, Cold Warrior, bulwark against Anti-Semitism, Renaissance man, musician, and mentor to countless people. This book will inspire listeners to emulate Buckley's virtues, including a return to civil discourse, anonymous philanthropy, faith, patriotism and fostering relationships between mentor and protégé, as part of a goal to reweave the fabric of our nation's character.
