Sinossi

In "The Life of William Ewart Gladstone," John Morley offers a meticulous and biographical exploration of one of Britain's most towering figures, combining rich narrative with scholarly precision across three volumes. Morley employs a comprehensive literary style that intertwines political analysis with personal reflection, presenting Gladstone not just as a statesman but as a complex individual shaped by the tumultuous landscapes of 19th-century Britain. This work stands out in the genre of political biography, reflecting the Victorian era's emphasis on character and moral integrity while also engaging with broader socio-political themes, crucial for understanding Gladstone's enduring legacy. Morley, himself a prominent political thinker and writer, possessed a unique vantage point to examine Gladstone. As a member of the Liberal Party and a close associate of contemporaneous political movements, Morley was influenced by Gladstone's reformist ideals and moral philosophy. His first-hand experiences as a politician and journalist lend authenticity and insight, enhancing the narrative's depth and context, making it both a scholarly endeavor and a personal homage. This monumental work is highly recommended for readers interested in political history, biography, and the intricate intersections of ethics and politics. Morley's insightful portrayal invites a deeper understanding of Gladstone's contributions and challenges, making it essential for both scholars and enthusiasts of Victorian political thought.

Leaving Home - A Memoir

Art Buchwald

Funny men don't necessarily have funny childhoods. Art Buchwald had to find his humor the hard way. In this poignant memoir, Buchwald writes with intimacy and candor about his early years— of a life constantly on the move and in the company of strangers. Shortly after he was born, he and his mother were separated. He tells of a childhood that took him from a Seventh-Day Adventist shelter to New York's Hebrew Orphan Asylum to a series of foster homes— all before the age of fifteen. It was an experience that forever molded him. How he negotiated the rocky path from an orphanage dining hall to the best table at Maxim's in Paris is a memorable story from a man who made America laugh for more than forty years.

Hillbilly Queer - A Memoir

J.R. Jamison

“J.R. Jamison has written one of the most humane and challenging memoirs to come out of the Midwest. This is a perfect read to begin talking about all the conflicting, yet connected, issues forcing a reckoning for those who thought they knew what the world was, and who they were in it. Indeed, we are all more than heroes and villains, and Jamison does a great job of showing how and where our humanity gets lost between the two. I’m so glad I let him guide me through the trip.”-- Ashley C. Ford, author of "Somebody’s Daughter" and host of the HBO podcast "Lovecraft Country Radio" 
 
J.R. Jamison spends his days in a world of trigger warnings and safe spaces, while his trigger-happy dad, Dave, spends his questioning why Americans have become so sensitive. Yet at the height of the 2016 election, the two decide to put political differences aside and travel together to rural Missouri for Dave’s fifty-five year class reunion. But with the constant backdrop of the Trump vs. Clinton battle at every turn, they are forced to explore one formidable question: Will the trip push them further apart or bring them closer together? 
 
Dave has always accepted his gay son. J.R. must learn if he can accept his conservative-leaning dad. Traveling together through the rural, sun-beaten landscapes of Missouri, the two meet people along the way who challenge their concepts of right and wrong, and together they uncover truths about their family’s past that reveals more than political differences—they discover a lesson on the human condition that lands them on the international pages of The Guardian. 
 
"Hillbilly Queer" is an enduring love story between a dad and son who find that sometimes the differences between us aren’t really that different at all.
