Sinopsis

In "Beacon Lights of History: The Old Pagan Civilizations," John Lord meticulously explores the rich tapestry of ancient cultures, tracing their evolution and impact on modern civilization. Employing a narrative style that marries scholarly rigor with vivid storytelling, Lord delves into the philosophical, artistic, and political achievements of civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. The book positions these cultures within a broader historical context, highlighting their influence on religious thought and moral philosophy, while reflecting on the tension between pagan beliefs and emerging monotheistic paradigms prevalent during the late 19th century. John Lord, an esteemed American historian and educator, is notable for his dedication to elucidating the lessons of history. His background in classical studies and commitment to liberal education deeply informed his perspective on the interplay between ancient civilizations and contemporary thought. Lord'Äôs insight as an educator shines through his writing, making complex historical narratives accessible to readers while emphasizing their relevance to the present era. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in the foundational aspects of Western civilization. Lord'Äôs seamless integration of historical narrative and philosophical inquiry invites readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of these ancient cultures, making it a vital addition to the library of scholars and casual readers alike.

    For many years the victim of smear campaigns by notable male writers, and dismissed as being merely 'the mother of Mary Shelley', Mary Wollstonecraft has claimed her rightful title as one of the founders of feminist thought, a movement anchored in her Vindications.
    Outraged by Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, its use of gendered language and defence of monarchy and hereditary privilege, A Vindication of the Rights of Men turned the tables on philosophy. A Vindication of the Rights of Woman swiftly followed, taking the conversation further, and arguing the case for women's education. Together, these two seminal works went on to change the course of history, and her arguments continue to hold water today.
    This edition contains explanatory notes and an introduction by Bee Rowlatt, Chair of the Wollstonecraft Society.

    The Second Substance

    Anne Lardeux

    "A revolutionary diary that parses the lines of sex and power, in language that pushes itself around on the page like paint. With echoes of Emma Goldman's if I can't dance, Lardeux's revolution has fucking at its core. The Second Substance is fleshy, cinematic, intuitive." – Tamara Faith Berger, author of Queen Solomon
       
    “A nomadic miscellany of gruff scavengers and would-be pioneers has commandeered the derelict filling station at 69 Rue Principale—an anonymous sensualist and moonlighting authoritarian among them—all jockeying for position at the nexus of self-determination and fate. In Anne Lardeux’s enigmatic debut, presented here in a translation by Pablo Strauss, the constant friction between societal strictures and communal revision spark a series of disorderly experiments, abstract epiphanies blasting off in every direction. The Second Substance is a novel about overriding our programming, rewriting our code in order to initiate an even more radical set of protocols for eroticism, destruction, and rebirth.” – Justin Walls, Bookshop.org
