Beschreibung

In 'Iconoclasts,' James Huneker delivers a comprehensive exploration of the dramatic transformation witnessed in the theatre at the turn of the 20th century. This luminary text serves as a critical examination of key playwrights who redefined dramatic arts, featuring Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, Maurice Maeterlinck, and George Bernard Shaw, among others. Huneker's examination is not merely biographical but delves into the revolutionary philosophical and psychological undercurrents that informed their writing. His literary style is erudite yet accessible, seamlessly blending biographical sketches with incisive criticism, all set within the broader literary context of the modernist movement. This edition by DigiCat Publishing honors the original's integrity, ensuring a faithful transition into the contemporary literary landscape. James Huneker, a renowned critic, pianist, and art connoisseur, was propelled by a fervent devotion to the arts. His informed sensitivity to cultural shifts is perceptibly woven throughout 'Iconoclasts.' Huneker's own zeitgeist, mirrored by the iconoclastic spirits he profiles, paints a vivid picture of the enduring struggle for artistic liberation. The insights presented in this volume spring from a life richly engaged in the cultural dialogues of his era, solidifying his role as a leading voice in critiquing and appreciating the innovative frontiers of drama. 'Iconoclasts' is recommended for readers who possess a profound appreciation for the dramatic arts and a curiosity for the pivotal figures who spearheaded the modernist reimagining of theater. Huneker's work will enrich enthusiasts of literary criticism and theatre history with its lucid prose and its incisive commentary on the boundary-pushing playwrights who shaped an era. Scholars and casual readers alike will find the republished edition by DigiCat Publishing an invaluable addition to their collections, illuminating the indelible impact of these dramatists on the cultural fabric of the past and present.

Flee North tells the riveting, true story of how Smallwood risked everything to help enslaved families escape to freedom, while publicly mocking slaveholders in fiery, witty essays that inspired a nation and enraged the powerful.

    This book contains 3 titles, which are about the following topics: 
    Japan's Surrender: The Pacific theater of World War II was a brutal and protracted conflict, defined by fierce battles, shifting strategies, and immense human cost. By 1945, the war had entered its final stages, with the Allied forces, led primarily by the United States, gradually gaining the upper hand over Imperial Japan. The end of the Pacific War seemed inevitable, yet the path to Japan's surrender was far from straightforward. The road to victory in the Pacific involved a combination of military ingenuity, strategic alliances, and significant geopolitical shifts. However, the culmination of this path was not solely the result of battlefield victories but also of profound shifts in the political, economic, and moral considerations of both the Japanese leadership and the Allied powers. 
    Pearl Harbor: The path to the attack on Pearl Harbor was paved by years of escalating tension between Japan, the United States, and other global powers. By the 1930s, Japan had increasingly pursued aggressive territorial expansion in Asia. The country sought to secure resources to fuel its growing industrial machine, leading to its invasion of China and the creation of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. This expansionist ideology put Japan on a collision course with Western powers, particularly the United States, who had significant economic interests in the Pacific region. 
    The Pacific Theater: The Pacific Theater of World War II was the culmination of decades of tension, territorial disputes, and ideological differences between Japan and the Allied Powers, particularly the United States. The roots of the conflict can be traced back to Japan’s rise as an imperial power in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

    True stories from a forensic psychologist in prisons and out.  
     
     
    ‘The most dangerous people I met weren’t monsters. They were broken children wearing adult faces.’ 
     
    Pamela Nathan, clinical and forensic psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, uncovers the inner worlds of society’s most dangerous and broken—whether behind bars or hidden in plain sight. 
     
    In Pain Bleeds Crime, she shares twenty-three gripping true stories from her decades working in maximum-security prisons, courts, and forensic hospitals. The crimes are shocking—murder, rape, paedophilia, assault, fetishism, bestiality, and more—but what lies beneath is often even more confronting. 
     
    Each offender, whether male, female or transgender, reveals a hidden world shaped by trauma, pain, and silence. Pamela enters these inner worlds to feel and then to have revealed the internal crime scenes, to see what made them break—mentally, emotionally, morally. These aren’t excuses. They’re revelations. 
     
    You’ll come face-to-face with people whose crimes horrified the public—people who insist they’re not violent, or that “it just happened”—and come face-to-face with the dark truth: the past never really goes away. With unflinching honesty and rare insight, Pamela shows how the past never really stays buried—and how behind every act of violence, there’s a story waiting to be told. 
     
    Brutally honest, deeply unsettling, and impossible to forget, Pain Bleeds Crime is a journey into the darkest parts of humanity. 
     
     
    ‘Mad, bad, or sad—when we listen to the story, we see the person.’ 
     
     
    ‘A chilling exploration of the trauma and pain behind the most heinous crimes.’
