  Why Read - Selected Writings...

  Will Self

  From the Booker–shortlisted author of Umbrella, a world-girdling collection of writings inspired by a life lived in and for literature 
   
  From one of the most unusual and distinctive writers working today, Will Self’s Why Read is a cornucopia of thoughtful and brilliantly witty essays on writing and literature. 
   
  Self takes us with him: from the foibles of his typewriter repairman to the irradiated exclusion zone of Chernobyl, to the Australian outback, and to literary forms past and future. With his characteristic intellectual brio, Self aims his inimitable eye at titans of literature like Woolf, Kafka, Orwell, and Conrad. He  
  writes movingly on W. G. Sebald’s childhood in Germany and provocatively describes the elevation of William S. Burroughs’s Junky from shocking pulp novel to beloved cult classic. Self also expands on his regular column in Literary Hub to ask readers how, what, and ultimately why we should read in an  
  ever-changing world. Whether he is writing on the rise of the bookshelf as an item of furniture in the nineteenth century or on the impossibility of Googling his own name in a world lived online, Self’s trademark intoxicating prose and mordant, energetic humor infuse every piece. 
   
  A book that examines how the human stream of consciousness flows into and out of literature, Why Read will satisfy both old and new readers of this icon of contemporary literature.

  These three topics will be addressed in this book: 
  Cuban Revolution - Less than a decade after the Second World War, the Cuban revolution happened. It went on and off, irregularly causing riots and rebel actions, as well as tyrannical government suppression, and it all lingered on during the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. What was it that typified the Cuban Revolution? Who were the players and what did they do? Which battles were most significant?And last but not least, what was the final result it all led to in the end? These and many other questions will be answered in this comprehensive guide, which will give you a better understanding about the history of one of the most controversial economies on the huge island near the United States coastline. 
  American Revolution - Between 1765 to 1791, the American Revolution was an ideological and political revolution in British America. In the American Revolutionary War (between 1775 to 1783), the Americans in the Thirteen Groups established sovereign countries that beat the British, getting independence from the British Crown and establishing the USA of America, the first modern-day constitutional liberal democracy. 
  Mexican Revolution - The Mexican Revolution was a great revolution that included a series of army local battles instead of a single united struggle. It destroyed the Federal Force and changed it with an innovative army, changing Mexican civilization and governance at the same time It also culminated in the adoption of a new constitution that included the revolutionaries' ideal visions. In spite of the fact that President Porfirio Daz's (from about 1880 to 1911) rule had grown progressively out of favor over the prior 31 years, there was no indicator that a transformation would break out in the year 1910.

  Did you know that Viking-age Swedes were the founding dynasty of what eventually became Russia? 
   
  In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power. The extensive river systems of Russia provided economic and military "super-highways" to the adventurers from the north, who journeyed down them all the way to the Black Sea and Constantinople in search of fame and riches.
   
  The rise in TV shows and movies has renewed people's interest in Vikings, but the Swedish Vikings have been notably absent from these accounts. In Captivating History's History of Sweden, you will learn more about these Swedish adventurers, along with other parts of Sweden's fascinating history.
   
  In this book, you will discover:
  
  -  The Swedes' fierce struggle to gain independence 
  -  The "Father of Sweden," King Gustav Vasa, and his dynasty spawned some of the greatest military minds in Europe

  Hostile Takeover - Aggressive...

  A hostile takeover is an aggressive maneuver in which one entity seizes control of another against its will. While the term is most commonly associated with corporate battles, hostile takeovers can occur in politics, criminal organizations, personal relationships, and even social groups. At its core, a hostile takeover is about power—gaining it, consolidating it, and using it to reshape an entity to serve the interests of the aggressor. Unlike consensual mergers or voluntary leadership transitions, hostile takeovers are marked by conflict, resistance, and strategic maneuvering. 
  In the corporate world, a hostile takeover typically occurs when one company seeks to acquire another without the consent of its board of directors. This is often done by purchasing a majority of shares on the open market, launching a tender offer to shareholders, or engaging in a proxy battle to replace leadership. The targeted company may attempt to defend itself using tactics such as poison pills, white knight rescues, or legal challenges, but once control is seized, the acquiring entity dictates the company's future direction. Corporate hostile takeovers are often driven by financial gain, market dominance, or strategic positioning, but they can also be fueled by personal vendettas or ideological shifts. 
  Beyond the business realm, hostile takeovers manifest in political settings as coups, regime changes, and leadership purges. Throughout history, governments have been overthrown through military force, manipulation of laws, or exploitation of public sentiment. Political leaders who rise to power through hostile means often implement sweeping changes, consolidating authority and eliminating opposition to solidify their control. These takeovers can reshape entire nations, alter global relations, and redefine ideologies, demonstrating the far-reaching consequences of power struggles.
