Sinossi

In "The Boy Scouts on Belgian Battlefields," John Henry Goldfrap artfully intertwines adventure and patriotism in a compelling narrative set against the backdrop of World War I. The novel follows a group of Boy Scouts as they navigate the perils of war-torn Belgium, showcasing their bravery, resourcefulness, and unwavering spirit. Goldfrap's literary style masterfully combines vivid descriptions with a straightforward, engaging prose that captures the innocence of youth while confronting the harsh realities of conflict. The book stands as a testament to the ideals of camaraderie and heroism prevalent in early 20th-century literature, mirroring the zeitgeist of a nation grappling with the realities of global warfare. John Henry Goldfrap, an author whose early life was marked by a passion for adventure and service, was motivated to write this book during a time of national strife. With a background that likely involved outdoor pursuits and a strong sense of duty, Goldfrap sought to portray the Boy Scouts not merely as children but as capable agents of courage and resilience, embodying the spirit of a generation facing unprecedented challenges. I highly recommend "The Boy Scouts on Belgian Battlefields" to readers of all ages, especially those interested in historical fiction that melds adventure with moral themes. Goldfrap'Äôs work not only entertains but also educates, providing a lens into the significant role of youth during wartime and encouraging a sense of duty and bravery in the face of adversity.

    Nine days before October 7, 2023, award-winning author Isabella Hammad delivered the Edward W. Said Memorial Lecture at Columbia University. The text of Hammad’s seminal speech and her afterword, written in the early weeks of 2024, together make up a searing appraisal of the war on Palestine during what seems a turning point in the narrative of human history. Profound and moving, Hammad writes from within the moment, shedding light on the Palestinian struggle for freedom. Recognizing the Stranger is a brilliant melding of literary and cultural analysis by one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists and a foremost writer of fiction in the world today. 
     
    “An urgent work for a devastating time … Isabella Hammad is as fine a critic as she is a novelist. It is hardly a surprise that she is one of our most astute writers when it comes to Palestine.”—Viet Thanh Nguyen

    On April of 2010, Dr. James Hillman presented a weekend seminar in which he returned to a topic from his earlier days — Old and Young: Senex and Puer. These opposing yet complimentary archetypes have been cornerstones of Jungian psychology, but Hillman brought his examination of them squarely into the modern day.

    The Life of Music in South India

    This book offers an account of Carnatic music culture drawing on the knowledge of T. Sankaran, a musician raised in an illustrious non-Brahmin devadasi family, and his long affiliation with cultural institutions including All India Radio (AIR) and the Tamil Isai Sangam (Tamil Music Academy). Sankaran examines the cultural and social matrix in which Carnatic music was cultivated and consumed in mid-twentieth century India, including the ways that musicians negotiated caste politics and the double standard for male and female musicians. The memoir provides insight into the way AIR worked as a modern, bureaucratic institution, and how the opening of government music colleges interacted with caste politics and shifted women's participation in public performance. The book is polyvocal, as Sankaran's writing is interwoven with passages from Daniel M. Neuman's book The Life of Music in North India, which inspired Sankaran's project, as well as transcripts from interviews with Sankaran by Matthew Allen. Includes rare archival photos.
