Beschreibung

In "A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil," Jane Addams boldly confronts the persistent scourge of war and its moral implications in a rapidly changing society. Through a poignant blend of personal narrative, social critique, and philosophical inquiry, Addams unearths the complexities and contradictions inherent in human conscience as it grapples with the devastation wrought by conflict. Her literary style, characterized by its clarity and emotional resonance, situates the book within the Progressive Era's discourse on social reform, where she underscores the need for a collective moral awakening as a response to violence and injustice. Jane Addams, a pioneering social reformer and co-founder of Hull House, was deeply influenced by her experiences in urban Chicago, where she witnessed firsthand the consequences of industrialization and social disparity. Her profound commitment to social justice, pacifism, and feminism emerged from her pragmatic engagement with society's challenges, making her uniquely qualified to address the themes of conscience and morality in a time marked by two World Wars. Her insights reflect a lifetime of activism aimed at cultivating peace and understanding amidst societal turmoil. Readers seeking a profound examination of the moral dilemmas surrounding war will find "A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil" to be an essential text. Addams offers not only a critique but also a hopeful vision for a more compassionate world. Her profound insights remain pertinent today, inviting readers to reflect deeply on their roles as moral agents in a society still grappling with the consequences of violence.

    This is the chilling, little-known story of the rise of Nazism in Los Angeles and the Jewish leaders and spies they recruited who stopped it. 
    No American city was more important to the Nazis than Los Angeles, home to Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine in the world. The Nazis plotted to kill the city’s Jews and to sabotage the nation’s military installations. Plans existed for hanging twenty prominent Hollywood figures such as Al Jolson, Charlie Chaplin, and Samuel Goldwyn; for driving through Boyle Heights and machine-gunning as many Jews as possible; and for blowing up defense installations and seizing munitions from National Guard armories along the Pacific Coast. 
    US law enforcement agencies were not paying close attention—preferring to monitor Reds rather than Nazis—and only Leon Lewis and his daring ring of spies stood in the way. From 1933 until the end of World War II, attorney Leon Lewis, the man Nazis would come to call “the most dangerous Jew in Los Angeles,” ran a spy operation comprising military veterans and their wives who infiltrated every Nazi and fascist group in Los Angeles. Often rising to leadership positions, this daring ring of spies uncovered and foiled the Nazis’ disturbing plans for death and destruction. 
    Featuring a large cast of Nazis, undercover agents, and colorful supporting players, Hitler in Los Angeles, by acclaimed historian Steven J. Ross, tells the story of Lewis’ daring spy network in a time when hate groups had moved from the margins to the mainstream.

    The Joyful Wisdom

    Friedrich Nietzsche

    "The Joyful Wisdom," written in 1882, just before "Zarathustra," is rightly judged to be one of Nietzsche's best books. Here the essentially grave and masculine face of the poet-philosopher is seen to light up and suddenly break into a delightful smile. The warmth and kindness that beam from his features will astonish those hasty psychologists who have never divined that behind the destroyer is the creator, and behind the blasphemer the lover of life. In the retrospective valuation of his work which appears in "Ecce Homo" the author himself observes with truth that the fourth book, "Sanctus Januarius," deserves especial attention: "The whole book is a gift from the Saint, and the introductory verses express my gratitude for the most wonderful month of January that I have ever spent." Book fifth "We Fearless Ones," the Appendix "Songs of Prince Free-as-a-Bird," and the Preface, were added to the second edition in 1887.
